27.06.2025 โ‡ข The Day the Supreme Court Stripped Judges of Power
โŒจThe Supreme Court delivered Trump a decisive victory by ruling 6-3 that federal judges cannot issue nationwide injunctions blocking presidential policies, effectively neutering the primary legal tool used against his agenda. The decision emerged from Trump's birthright citizenship case, though the ultimate fate of that policy remains unresolved.

Trump celebrated the ruling as ending "colossal abuse of power" while Justice Amy Coney Barrett delivered what observers described as a brutal takedown of Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson's dissent. The Court also sided with parents seeking to opt out of LGBTQ curriculum and upheld pornography age verification requirements.

Meanwhile, Trump's legislative agenda continued foundering as Senate rules blocked over $500 billion in budget cuts from his tax bill, forcing Republican scrambling despite his push for a July 4th passage. Economic markets hit record highs contradicting earlier tariff doom predictions.

Immigration enforcement generated controversy as ICE agents tackled protesters in Los Angeles, including detaining a U.S. citizen, while Trump announced ending trade talks with Canada and told Israel the "time is right" for a Gaza deal.

โŒจThe newspapers report that CIA Director John Ratcliffe defended Trump's Iran strikes in a closed-door Senate briefing, comparing them favorably to Obama's nuclear deal while claiming Trump forced Iran to accept a ceasefire "in 20 minutes" (Breitbart). However, Trump's domestic agenda faces significant obstacles as Senate rules violations threaten his legislative package, with key Medicaid provisions ruled improper by the parliamentarian, forcing GOP scrambling (Boston Globe, The Hill). The proposed child tax credit expansion would exclude millions of low-income families who don't earn enough to qualify for the full benefit, despite sizable increases for those who do qualify (NBC News). Separately, legendary broadcaster Bill Moyers died at 91, while concerns mount over RFK Jr.'s vaccine advisers promoting disproven fears about thimerosal preservatives (Common Dreams, NPR).

โŒจThe newspapers report that Trump's legislative agenda faces mounting obstacles as Senate procedural rules block key provisions of his tax bill, with the parliamentarian ruling that Medicaid changes violate reconciliation procedures (AP News, The Hill, USA Today). Trump is pushing the Senate to pass his "Big Beautiful Bill" before July 4 despite these setbacks, while one outlet reports a lifelong Democrat has switched parties after seeing the tax benefits (Fox News, USA Today). On foreign policy, Trump announced a trade deal with China without providing details, prompting an update from Beijing (Boston Globe, Newsweek). Senate Democrats continue questioning Trump's claims about "obliterating" Iran's nuclear sites, while the administration reportedly seeks to bring Iran back to negotiations and expedites fines for undocumented immigrants (CBS, The Daily Beast, ABC News). A Pew study found Trump would have won the 2024 election even with full voter turnout, despite 64% participation being the second-highest in 120 years (NPR).

โŒจThe newspapers report that Trump's legislative agenda faces deepening troubles as Senate Republicans scramble to salvage his "big, beautiful bill" after the parliamentarian ruled key Medicaid provisions violate reconciliation rules (MSNBC, The Hill, AP News). The administration encounters resistance on multiple fronts, with Democrats seeking to limit Trump's military authority following Iran strikes while senators remain divided after classified briefings (CNN, Newsweek). Immigration enforcement generates controversy as ICE agents detained a U.S. citizen during protests over street vendor arrests in Los Angeles, with officials charging her with assaulting federal officers (LA Times, NBC News). The Supreme Court prepares to release six major decisions simultaneously, including rulings on birthright citizenship and LGBTQ+ school materials, while conservative groups file Title IX complaints against colleges admitting transgender women (USA Today, Boston Globe). A Pew study confirms Trump would have won 2024 even with full voter turnout, despite 64% participation being the second-highest in 120 years (NPR).

14:19โ‡ขSupreme Court Greenlights Birthright Citizenship Changes

โŒจThe newspapers report that the Supreme Court partially cleared the path for Trump's birthright citizenship order by ruling that lower courts likely exceeded their authority in issuing universal injunctions, though the ultimate fate of the policy remains unclear (Supreme Court sources across ABC, CBS, CNN, Fox News, NYTimes, Washington Post, AP News, The Hill, HuffPost, USA Today). The decision limits nationwide injunctions while allowing Trump to partially enforce changes to birthright citizenship amid ongoing legal challenges. Meanwhile, Trump's legislative agenda continues facing obstacles as over $500 billion in budget cuts from his megabill were deemed against Senate rules, dealing a major blow to GOP plans (MSNBC). Immigration enforcement generates additional controversy as ICE agents in Los Angeles detained and tackled protesters, including a U.S. citizen who convulsed while pinned to a curb, with Homeland Security claiming the protesters assaulted officers (LA Times). Stock markets reached record highs with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq hitting new peaks at opening bell, contradicting earlier tariff doom predictions (The Epoch Times, The Blaze).

15:02โ‡ขSupreme Court Curbs Judicial Power

โŒจThe newspapers report that the Supreme Court delivered a 6-3 ruling limiting lower courts' authority to issue nationwide injunctions, specifically in Trump's birthright citizenship case (Boston Globe, CBS, CNN, Fox News, LA Times, MSNBC, NPR, NY Post, NYTimes, Washington Post, AP News, HuffPost, USA Today, The Epoch Times, Breitbart, Newsweek, Mother Jones, The Blaze). The decision restricts individual judges from blocking federal policies nationwide but leaves Trump's birthright citizenship order's ultimate fate unclear. Conservative outlets frame this as ending "judicial supremacy" and abuse of injunctions, while liberal sources describe it as clearing the path for Trump's agenda. Separately, California Governor Gavin Newsom sued Fox News for defamation over their reporting of a phone call with Trump (LA Times).

โŒจThe newspapers report that the Supreme Court delivered a major victory to Trump by ruling 6-3 that lower courts cannot issue nationwide injunctions, specifically in the birthright citizenship case (ABC News, Breitbart, CBS, CNN, Fox News, The Hill, AP News, HuffPost, Newsweek, USA Today, Washington Post, NPR, NY Post, Boston Globe, The Epoch Times, Mother Jones, The Blaze). Trump celebrated the decision as bringing back "the Constitution" and called it a "big one," though the ultimate fate of his birthright citizenship order remains unclear. Conservative outlets frame this as ending "judicial supremacy" and abuse of injunctions, while liberal sources describe it as kneecapping key checks on Trump's power. The Court also upheld Texas's law requiring age verification for pornography websites in a First Amendment case (MSNBC). Meanwhile, Trump's immigration enforcement continues as he plans to dismiss hundreds of thousands of asylum claims to boost deportations, while the southern border remains quiet with undocumented workers hiding and would-be migrants staying away (Reason, NYTimes).

On Friday, the United States Supreme Court ruled 6-3 in favor of the Trump administration, allowing it to reel in a series of lower court injunctions against President Donald Trumpโ€™s executive order restricting birthright citizenship. The Courtโ€™s decision limits the scope of those injunctions, permitting them to apply only to the individuals or groups who actually filed suit.

17:39โ‡ขSupreme Court Strips Judges of Nationwide Injunction Power

โŒจThe newspapers report that the Supreme Court delivered Trump a series of major victories in its final week, with the most significant being a 6-3 ruling that limits federal judges' ability to issue nationwide injunctions (ABC News, Boston Globe, CBS, Fox News, NPR, NY Post, USA Today, Washington Post, AP News, HuffPost, Newsweek, The Daily Beast, Mother Jones). Trump praised the decision as ending "colossal abuse of power" and singled out one justice for criticism. The ruling emerged from Trump's birthright citizenship case, though the ultimate fate of that policy remains unclear. The Court also upheld Texas's law requiring age verification for pornography websites in a 6-3 decision (MSNBC, One America News Network). Justice Sotomayor issued a blistering dissent warning of "chaos" and that the country is headed down a "chilling" path, while Justice Jackson warned of "disaster" looming (The Daily Beast, Mother Jones). Meanwhile, GOP members called for the deportation of U.S. citizen Zohran Mamdani, who recently defeated Andrew Cuomo in New York's mayoral primary, with one outlet describing it as "vicious Islamophobia" (Common Dreams, Jacobin).

โŒจThe newspapers report that the Supreme Court delivered Trump multiple victories in its final decisions, most significantly a 6-3 ruling that restricts federal judges from issuing nationwide injunctions while leaving his birthright citizenship order's fate unclear (Boston Globe, CBS, CNN, Fox News, NY Post, NBC News, The Hill, USA Today, Washington Post, AP News, Reason, Slate). The decision sparked fierce internal conflict among justices, with conservative Amy Coney Barrett delivering what observers called a "brutal" takedown of liberal Ketanji Brown Jackson's dissent (NY Post, The Daily Beast). The Court also sided with Maryland parents seeking to opt their children out of LGBTQ+ curriculum and upheld pornography age verification requirements (Breitbart, Common Dreams). Trump separately announced ending all trade talks with Canada and told Israel the "time is right" for a Gaza deal, while his administration renamed a Navy ship from Harvey Milk to Oscar Peterson and left Iranian students in visa limbo following the strikes (The Epoch Times, Newsweek, One America News Network, NBC News).

21:30โ‡ขSupreme Court Strips Judges' Nationwide Power

โŒจThe newspapers report that the Supreme Court's decision limiting nationwide injunctions has dominated discussion, with Trump celebrating the ruling while Justice Amy Coney Barrett delivered what observers called a "brutal" criticism of Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson's dissent (ABC News, Boston Globe, Fox News, MSNBC, NPR, NYTimes, Washington Post, AP News, HuffPost). The decision leaves Trump's birthright citizenship order's fate unclear while restricting lower courts' power to block executive actions nationwide. Economic news shows the S&P 500 hitting record highs despite earlier tariff concerns, with inflation remaining cool and wages rising (Breitbart, NYTimes). Meanwhile, Trump ended legal protections for Haitians just days after warning U.S. citizens that Haiti is unsafe to visit, while his DOGE initiative lost control over a government grants website worth billions (The Daily Beast, Washington Post). Anti-war groups are calling on the Senate to invoke the War Powers Act in Friday's vote, and Trump is pushing for a Saturday vote on his legislative package despite Republican resistance (Common Dreams, The Hill).
