Arguably, but that is a nuanced matter, and the case could probably be made against any of the three branches and be reasonably compelling. The bigger issue is the number of wannabe branches: big tech, news media, intelligence agencies, 'activist groups' that are actually simultaneously a paramilitary wing of one particular political party and a funnel for illegal campaign donations to that party. All of these groups exercise powers comparable to branches of government despite their lack of accountability.
