Donald Trump’s string of Supreme Court wins has hit a wall, in no small part because the court is in session and the so-called “shadow docket” has been shelved until the court recesses again for the summer.

According to a report from the Washington Post, the president’s massive loss on tariffs that came down on Friday, combined with a December blow limiting his ability to deploy National Guardsmen in Chicago, is a sign of things to come as the justices are forced to justify their legal reasoning.

Following the Supreme Court’s bombshell ruling Friday against the White House’s so-called "reciprocal tariffs,” President Donald Trump lavished praise Saturday on the three Supreme Court justices who back him and his policy, declaring one in particular to be his “new hero.”

“My new hero is United States Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh and, of course, Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito,” Trump wrote on his social media platform Truth Social. “There is no doubt in anyone’s mind that they want to, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”

Any hope that Donald Trump may have had that the Republican majority in the House would agree to hand to him their power to enact tariffs after his humiliating 6-3 defeat at the Supreme Court on Friday should be put aside, according to the National Review.

The furious president’s claim that he doesn’t need Congress may be an acknowledgement that he knows he does not have the Republican caucus members on his side, many of whom are reportedly thrilled that the nation’s highest court has put the president in his place.

Rep. Melanie Stansbury (D-NM) is demanding answers regarding a disturbing tip received by the FBI in 2016 that includes allegations of the “sexual exploitation of a minor” involving President Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein.

“Why are folks not asking more questions about this FBI complaint in the Epstein Files?” Stansbury wrote early Saturday morning in a social media post on X, alongside a link to an FBI tip that was published last month by the Justice Department.

“I would not want to be in the Oval Office right now.”

That came from one Donald Trump insider on Friday after the Supreme Court delivered what a former Trump official called a “stunning defeat” to the president’s ability to levy tariffs, just days before his State of the Union address which is already under a cloud.

President Donald Trump issued a not-so-subtle message to members of his own party late Friday night, firing off an angry post on Truth Social after a Supreme Court ruling dealt his MAGA tariff agenda a devastating blow.

In the post, Trump appeared to target conservatives who sided with the majority opinion, including two justices he personally appointed to the high court, Neil Gorsuch and Amy Coney Barrett.

CNN anchor Abby Phillip repeatedly sparred Friday night with a conservative podcast host during a tense debate over presidential tariff powers following the White House’s devastating Supreme Court loss.

The argument ignited when Anthony Esposito, who co-hosts the “Policy & Profits” podcast, dismissed the court’s conclusion that tariffs function as taxes.

The Justice Department said Friday that a newly appointed interim U.S. attorney in Virginia was fired just hours after federal judges selected him to lead the influential office, triggering a fresh clash between the judiciary and the Trump administration.

According to CNN, judges in the Eastern District of Virginia unanimously appointed veteran defense attorney James Hundley to serve as interim U.S. attorney after Trump loyalist Lindsey Halligan was forced out last month.

President Donald Trump's meltdown at his own appointed Supreme Court justices following their decision to block his ability to impose tariffs under emergency powers law is unbecoming of his office, Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D-IL) told MS NOW's Jen Psaki on Friday.

Pritzker said the outburst points to ongoing cognitive decline.

The Trump-Kennedy Center was hit by what officials described as a “calculated, malicious attack” Friday after a toxic substance was poured across its outdoor ice rink, forcing the cancellation of a scheduled performance, according to Fox News.

A center official said a dark brown-black substance was deliberately spread across the ice surface, severely damaging the outdoor rink. Images from the scene show a large section of the ice covered with the substance, and a plastic gallon-size jug left behind.

Far-right North Carolina Senate candidate Michele Morrow made an embarrassing mix-up that sent her candidacy paperwork to the completely wrong election agency.

According to Carolina Forward, Morrow tried to file her paperwork with the North Carolina State Board of Elections, which would be the correct agency if she were running for a state office like governor or state representative, but is not the right agency for a federal office like U.S. Senate.

A legal scholar on Friday zeroed in on Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s dissent in the Supreme Court’s sweeping tariff ruling, saying it stood out not just for its shaky legal footing but for how closely it mirrored the government’s arguments.

In an interview on CNN, NYU law professor Ryan Goodman said he was struck by Kavanaugh’s role in the three-justice dissent – and by how the majority responded to it.
