The Supreme Court’s sweeping decision invalidating most of President Donald Trump’s tariffs is more than a legal defeat – it’s a warning sign for the long-term viability of Trumpism itself, according to a new analysis in The New Republic.

Trump’s devastating Supreme Court loss – backed by two of his hand-picked justices – signals that the foundations of his populist nationalist agenda are beginning to crack, wrote columnist Greg Sargent.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement appeared to accidentally expose the masterminds behind its massive detention center overhaul, according to a new report.

A PDF document provided to Gov. Kelly Ayotte's (R-NH) office about ICE's sprawling "Detention Reengineering Initiative" contained embedded metadata and comments that named names, Wired reported Friday. Jonathan Florentino, director of ICE's Newark Field Office of Enforcement and Removal Operations, was listed as the author.

President Donald Trump went out of his way, following the Supreme Court decision striking down his move to impose tariffs under emergency powers law, to say he will keep the tariffs in place, using a different set of federal statutes that he claims still put the policy on lawful footing — something Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh argued he could try to do in his dissent.

However, economic historian Phil Magness warned that Trump's new order to impose a 10 percent global tariff under the so-called Section 122 power already faces massive legal problems.

Republican leaders are facing a new political dilemma – thanks to the Supreme Court’s devastating blow to President Donald Trump’s tariff agenda.

The ruling means any future votes on tariffs "will no longer be symbolic" as Congress will now be forced to decide whether to restore the president’s signature policy through legislation, according to Axios.

Federal prosecutors are reportedly trying to strip U.S. citizenship from former North Miami Mayor Philippe Bien-Aime over allegations of a decades-long identity deception.

The Department of Justice filed denaturalization charges Wednesday in federal court, claiming Bien-Aime unlawfully entered the United States in 1997 using a fraudulent "photo-switched" passport under the alias Jean Philippe Janvier, NBC News reported. An immigration judge ordered his removal in 2000, but authorities alleged he never left, instead disappearing into a new identity as Philippe Bien-Aime.

Bisa Hall, former wife of Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL), told The Daily Mail that Donalds used a fake Jamaican patois accent when they met at Florida A&M University. It disappeared within days, she added. Hall claimed Donalds explained he adopted the accent to stand out, noting there were many students from New York but few from Jamaica. The couple was married between 1999-2002, in what Hall described as an arrangement for "financial reasons." She said they separated after Donalds impregnated his then-girlfriend, now-wife Erika. Hall also noted they haven't spoken in decades. Donalds did not deny Hall's allegations in his statement to The Daily Mail, saying only that he wished he had "handled that chapter differently." Donalds is a Trump supporter running for Florida Governor in 2026.

Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick's family stands to profit significantly from the Supreme Court's decision striking down President Donald Trump's tariffs. Lutnick, who led Cantor Fitzgerald for 30 years before handing control to his sons before joining the Trump administration, publicly championed the tariffs. However, documents obtained by Wired reveal that Cantor Fitzgerald purchased rights to tariff refunds from affected companies, paying 20-30% of what companies paid out in tariffs. The firm now stands to reap returns of up to five times its initial investment. Cantor Fitzgerald denied involvement in positioning against the tariffs. Critics on social media condemned the apparent conflict of interest, with journalist Adam Cochran calling it "the 53rd scheme by a Trump official to profit from government policy." Others described it as "pure criminality and graft," noting Lutnick was also tasked with implementing the tariffs.

During the National Governors' Association breakfast on Friday, President Donald Trump became enraged when informed of the Supreme Court's 6-3 decision striking down his tariffs as illegal. According to CNN senior White House correspondent Kristen Holmes, the breakfast had been proceeding smoothly until Trump learned of the ruling. He immediately began ranting, calling the decision "a disgrace" and attacking the court with profanity. Holmes emphasized that the tariff policy represents a significant loss for Trump, as much of his economic and foreign policy agendas depend on tariffs. Trump has used tariffs as leverage in international meetings and consistently promoted them as central to his economic strategy.

The U.S. Supreme Court may have just handed President Donald Trump a political gift – one that’s deeply humiliating, according to The Atlantic’s David Frum.

In a ruling that struck down Trump’s sweeping tariff regime, the MAGAfied high court delivered a decisive check on presidential power, making clear that the Constitution assigns taxing authority to Congress, not the White House. His tariffs, which began in April, were projected to raise as much as $2.3 trillion over 10 years, Frum wrote Friday.

Democrats are mobilizing to defeat the SAVE Act, which House Democratic Whip Katherine Clark described as part of Trump's plan to control elections. The measure would require proof of citizenship, end mail-only voter registration, implement photo ID requirements nationwide, and mandate rules to purge noncitizens from voter rolls. Clark stated the bill "has nothing to do with voter ID laws" and "is all to do with voter suppression and rigging the election." Rep. Pete Aguilar emphasized the GOP's immediate intent, noting the Act would take effect immediately if passed, impacting 2026 primaries in states like Texas. Critics highlight that the documentation requirements disproportionately burden married women who changed their names, as the bill doesn't allow name-change proof. Notably, Rep. Ami Bera argued the measure would hurt Republican voters more than Democrats. And Rep. John Garamendi (D-CA) said, “That is an unmitigated disaster for voters across America, Republicans as much as if not more than Democrats."

President Donald Trump sparked outrage when he suggested awarding himself the Congressional Medal of Honor during a speech in Rome, Georgia at the Coosa Steel Corporation. Trump, who never served in the military, joked that he considered giving himself the decoration reserved for military members who exhibit valor. He claimed he was "extremely brave," but noted that military recipients have suffered severe injuries. Trump made a similar comment in 2019. The remarks ignited backlash on social media, with critics calling his comments "profoundly, offensively disgusting." Former Biden White House staffer Andrew Bates referenced Trump's history of cutting VA benefits. Florida gubernatorial candidate David Jolly urged voters to "send a very loud, undeniable message in November." Other commentators described Trump's behavior as childish and compared him to a "cartoon character."

President Donald Trump drew criticism for his response to Fox News' Peter Doocy on Thursday in Air Force One, according to observers. When asked whether other Jeffrey Epstein associates should be arrested following Prince Andrew's arrest, rather than address the question directly, Trump claimed to be an "expert" because he had been "totally exonerated" and stated he "did nothing." He asserted that Epstein "was against me" and "was fighting me in the election," citing the recently released 3 million pages of Epstein documents. Trump's comments deflected focus from the original question about accountability for Epstein's associates. Social media observers criticized his response as self-incriminating. Professor Adam Cochran posted that there has "literally never been a guiltier-sounding person." The Atlantic's Tom Nichols sarcastically noted it was "a normal answer you'd expect from someone who isn't at all concerned."

President Donald Trump ruthlessly slammed the Supreme Court on Friday in reaction to the justices voiding his authority to enact tariffs under emergency powers law — but those attacks probably are of no concern to Chief Justice John Roberts, CNN's Jeff Zeleny speculated.

In fact, Zeleny wrote in a text update displayed on the network, he is likely pleased to see it, for a simple reason.
