The Supreme Court heard oral argument in Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) v. Community Financial Services Association of America, a case that could determine the fate of the federal agency. The justices will be deciding whether the CFPB's funding structure is unconstitutional. This case stemmed from the agency's Payday Lending Rule. Two associations filed suit citing the rule is invalid because the agency's funding violates the Appropriations Clause. The CFPB gets its money from the Federal Reserve, not Congress. The Federal Reserve receives its funding from Federal Reserve Banks. The CFPB was created in 2010 under the Dodd-Frank Act which was in response to the 2008 financial crisis. When this case came before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, they ruled against the CFPB. The federal government appealed to the nation's highest court. The justices have through June 2024 to issue a ruling.
Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA), chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, discussed national security and foreign policy with Punchbowl News.

Sen. Warner also discussed the risks of artificial intelligence, arguing that public markets and elections were the domains most vulnerable to being undermined, and warned that misinformation in the 2016 presidential election could be "child's play" compared to the upcoming 2024 election. After the conversation with Sen. Warner, Collins Aerospace's Henry Brooks discussed the aerospace industry's progress in making aircraft more environmentally friendly.
