President Donald Trump's agenda just got dealt a "monumental" defeat by the U.S. Supreme Court, according to a legal expert.

The court ruled 6-3 against the 79-year-old president's sweeping tariffs by finding that his invocation of an emergency statute to regulate global trade was unlawful, and CNN's Elie Honig explained the implications of the decision on "The Situation Room."

In a stunning rebuke, the Supreme Court ruled 6-3 against the Trump administration on Friday regarding its authority to impose sweeping tariffs, and Americans are already bracing for impact out of fear that “things could get messy.”

“This is huge,” wrote X user “InvestingwithMG,” an amateur investor and market commentator. “Interested to see how the Trump administration responds and how markets respond. Things could get messy if the U.S. has to refund the tariffs they’ve collected.”

It did not escape notice on MS NOW on Friday morning that the MAGA online world was thrilled by US skater Alysa Liu winning the Olympic gold medal in the Women’s Single Skating event, passing over the fact that she is the child of an immigrant.

At the same time fans of Donald Trump’s administration have been applauding the forced round-up of immigrants by masked ICE agents, MAGA world is basking in Liu’s victory, the first in that event by a US skater since Sarah Hughes won gold in 2002.

The Supreme Court delivered a significant setback to President Donald Trump on Friday, ruling that he exceeded his constitutional authority when imposing broad tariffs under emergency powers legislation.

The justices voted 6-3 that Trump's tariff approach violated the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, a 1977 law governing presidential emergency authority over economic matters.

The unprecedented arrest Thursday of the British royal Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor over his ties with Jeffrey Epstein may very well trigger a transatlantic fallout reaching the United States – and potentially ensnare President Donald Trump – a former Justice Department prosecutor argued on Friday.

Mountbatten-Windsor – formally Prince Andrew before he was booted from royal life and stripped of his title over his ties to Epstein – was arrested Thursday after new documents published by the DOJ revealed that he may have sent confidential trade information to Epstein in 2010 while he was Britain’s trade envoy. He was charged with misconduct in public office, a criminal offense that carries a potential life sentence.

Appearing on MS NOW to discuss CBS lawyers interfering with late-night host Stephen Colbert’s planned interview with Texas Democrat James Talarico, Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) claimed she has not heard from Colbert to also appear to discuss her Senate bid.

Host Colbert put the network on the defensive after he was told he couldn’t show the interview on his show, or even mention rising star Talarico, because CBS lawyers feared retribution from FCC Chairman Brendan Carr.

Using the wall-to-wall coverage dedicated to the arrest of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, a younger brother of King Charles III, related to his ties to convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, MS NOW contributor Pablo Torre claimed the White House has a major problem if they think the Epstein crisis is going to wither away.

During an appearance on “Morning Joe,” Torre held up the front pages of the Wall Street Journal and the New York Post, both featuring blaring Andrew headlines and both Rupert Murdoch papers, to illustrate the scope of seriousness playing out in the press.

President Donald Trump’s “bonkers” announcement Thursday that he plans to release government files related to alien life raised an immediate red flag for some journalists, and two of whom warned that the announcement was a clear smoke screen to distract the public from something far more nefarious.

Writing on his social media platform Truth Social, Trump announced that he would be ordering federal agencies to “begin the process” of releasing government files “related to alien and extraterrestrial life” and “UFOs.”

Senate Republicans are publicly disagreeing over strategy as they seek legislative victories before the midterm elections, with frustration mounting over lack of direction from Donald Trump and Senate leadership.

According to Politico reporters Mia McCarthy and Jordain Carney, some GOP lawmakers facing November reelection believe they need legislative accomplishments to campaign on. However, Trump and Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) have provided insufficient guidance.

The Supreme Court appears poised to make a ruling on the legality of President Donald Trump’s unprecedented tariffs “as soon as today,” Axios reported on Friday, a ruling that could have colossal impacts on the global economy, and, according to Trump, crash the entire U.S. economy.

“Analysts had initially expected a swift ruling from the highest court, but the uncertainty has dragged on for longer than expected,” wrote Axios senior economic reporter Courtenay Brown. “The delay is a possible sign of the enormity of the decision that, either way, could rattle the global economy.”
