The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is exploring the purchase of a $70 million Boeing 737 Max 8 luxury jet, currently leased and used for deportations and Cabinet travel, to save costs and improve efficiency. The aircraft features amenities like showers, a kitchen, a bar, and sleeping quarters, with DHS claiming it is 40% cheaper than military jets for deportations. Some DHS officials have expressed doubts about the jet's use for deportations or presidential travel, and the agency previously bought two Gulfstream private jets for $172 million.
The Trump administration has rolled back Biden-era regulations aimed at reducing mercury emissions from coal plants, reverting to standards from 2012 that allowed higher mercury pollution, particularly from lignite coal. Environmental groups and health experts warn this move could increase neurological health risks, especially in children, by permitting more mercury to enter the environment. The rollback is part of broader efforts to support the coal industry despite declining mercury emissions in recent years.
President Donald Trump criticized the Supreme Court for its 6-3 ruling invalidating most of his tariffs, calling the majority justices “disloyal to the Constitution” and suggesting foreign interests influence the court. He praised dissenting justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, and Brett Kavanaugh, particularly Kavanaugh, and announced new tariffs to replace those struck down. Trump’s comments included unsubstantiated claims of foreign interference and were unusually harsh and personal for a presidential critique of the judiciary.
The Supreme Court ruled that President Trump's global tariffs were illegal, stating that he exceeded his authority by imposing duties without explicit congressional approval. This decision marks the first time the court has invalidated one of Trump's second-term policies; three conservative justices dissented.
U.S. President Donald Trump announced a new 10% tariff on all global imports following the Supreme Court's 6-3 ruling that invalidated previous tariffs. The announcement came in response to disputes over tariffs initially imposed during what Trump referred to as "Liberation Day."
The U.S. Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that most of President Donald Trump's worldwide tariffs were illegal, as the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) does not grant the president such broad tariff powers. The court emphasized that Congress must explicitly authorize major trade powers, rejecting Trump's broad interpretation of emergency authority. This decision limits the president's ability to impose tariffs unilaterally and is viewed by some as a favorable outcome for the economy, though it leaves unresolved issues regarding existing tariffs collected under Trump's policies. The ruling also highlights ongoing debates over presidential emergency powers and the influence of ideological doctrines like the major questions doctrine.
The U.S. government could owe more than $175 billion in refunds to importers after the Supreme Court ruled that tariffs imposed unilaterally by President Trump are illegal. The decision primarily affects tariffs collected since Trump invoked the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, with potential refunds estimated at around $175 billion, according to the Penn Wharton Budget Model. Justice Brett Kavanaugh warned that the refund process could be complex and disruptive, highlighting logistical challenges and uncertainties for trade agreements. The total tariffs subject to refunds are estimated to comprise roughly 60% of all tariffs issued during Trump’s administration.
The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that President Trump lacked the authority under a 1977 economic emergency law to impose most of his tariffs, resulting in their invalidation and representing a significant legal defeat. President Trump criticized the decision and announced his plan to impose a 10% global tariff under a different law, while he also expressed distrust of the justices who ruled against him. The ruling emphasized the need for clear congressional authorization for expansive executive powers, and court analysts noted it was a legal, rather than personal, rebuke of the administration's use of tariffs.

US President Trump criticized several Supreme Court justices as a “disgrace” after the court, in a 6-3 decision, struck down tariffs he issued in 2025, ruling that he lacked the authority to enact them under the law used. Trump described the court's rejection as “deeply disappointing.”
Governor Gavin Newsom called for immediate refund checks, with interest, to American families and businesses following the Supreme Court's 6-3 ruling that President Trump's tariffs were illegal. The court confirmed that Trump lacked the authority to impose these tariffs under emergency powers, which collected over $130 billion and led to higher consumer prices. California, the first state to challenge these tariffs, filed suit in 2025, arguing they were unlawful and unconstitutional.
