Legal analyst Marcy Wheeler challenges Linda Greenhouse's optimistic reading of Chief Justice John Roberts' recent tariff opinion, arguing that Roberts' detailed paragraph cataloguing Trump's erratic tariff changes was not a sign of exasperation but rather a functional element of his Major Questions Doctrine analysis. Wheeler contends that while Roberts noted the capricious nature of Trump's tariff decisions, his ruling focused narrowly on whether Congress granted the executive such power—not on whether Trump's justifications were factually dishonest. Wheeler further argues that Roberts and the conservative majority have consistently ignored lower court factual findings that directly call out the administration's false pretenses, particularly in Shadow Docket rulings. Until Roberts begins affirming the judgments of district judges who are explicitly documenting the administration's pattern of deception and defiance of court orders, Wheeler concludes, claims of Roberts' exasperation with Trump remain premature.

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth announced that the Department of Defense will cut all ties with several Ivy League and elite universities — including Princeton, Columbia, MIT, Brown, and Yale — beginning in the 2026-2027 academic year. The decision ends Department of Defense-funded graduate fellowships, professional military education courses, and Pentagon subsidies at these institutions, which Hegseth characterized as promoting ideologies incompatible with military values and national security priorities. Hegseth also ordered a comprehensive review of internal military war colleges to ensure curricula focus on strategic thinking and combat readiness. The move follows an earlier decision to sever ties with Harvard University over similar concerns.
