A federal judge ruled Wednesday that President Trump’s firing of the head of a board that resolves disputes between federal employees and the government was unlawful.
U.S. District Judge Sparkle Sooknanan’s ruling in favor of Susan Grundmann, the Democratic-appointed chair of the Federal Labor Relations Authority (FLRA), is the latest to push back on Trump’s efforts to consolidate control over independent agencies in an expanded view of presidential power.

If we can't have independent Executive Branch agencies, then Congress is probably going to have to create some under Congress. They do have some bureaucracy of their own, like the Congressional Research Service.

The whole federal government is about three million people, so that's a tiny fraction of it. But it is a thing -- the Legislative Branch can have its own bureaucracy.
I mean, you cannot stick stuff related to oversight of the Executive Branch within the Executive Branch if it doesn't have independence.
