There are no reasonable checks to their powers at this moment.

You have reminded us all of the key. At this time there are "checks and balances" as in civilized nations and the past version of the US the Founders envisioned.

Once Walter Winchell could squeeze his columns into the hostile William Randolph Hearst newspapers to expose Adolph Hitler when others wanted him ignored or called a breath of fresh air for peace. Now the leftist media is the 100% propaganda arm of the Dems. Watch for FCC to cancel outliers soon.

Once the Senate could stop a wild and reckless House or vice versa. Or the President could veto. Or the SCOTUS could act independently of the current politics, fearlessly. NONE of this is in play today.

Walter Winchell

 

Now there was a patriot, more than people know. He had Naval Reserve status after WW1 and served in the capacity of Naval Intelligence/security in the 3rd Naval District during WW2. He was an intel asset hiding in plain sight. If you drop by for a peek at his Wikipedia page you'll get an idea why.
