29.05.2025 โ‡ข The Day Courts Blocked and Restored Trump's Tariffs
โŒจFederal courts delivered conflicting rulings on Trump's core trade agenda throughout the day. Early morning brought sweeping defeats as the Court of International Trade blocked Trump's tariffs, ruling them illegal and beyond presidential authority. The White House dismissed this as "judicial overreach" from "rogue judges."

By evening, an appeals court reversed the lower court decision, reinstating the tariffs while legal proceedings continue. Both sides must file written arguments by early next month.

Separately, Elon Musk officially departed his DOGE leadership role after 130 days, with Trump taking direct control of the department. Sources described his exit as leaving "upheaval and unmet expectations" rather than the promised government efficiency.

A second federal judge blocked Trump's attempt to ban foreign students at Harvard, extending the restraining order that prevented the administration from revoking the university's enrollment authority. This continued the administration's legal struggles with its Harvard confrontation from previous days.

โŒจThe newspapers report on federal courts blocking Trump's emergency tariff powers, with multiple sources covering a U.S. Court of International Trade ruling that prevents Trump from imposing sweeping tariffs under a 1977 emergency powers law (NYTimes, Washington Post, AP News, USA Today, The Hill, HuffPost, Breitbart). The administration faces additional constitutional challenges as a federal judge ruled that Secretary of State Rubio "likely" violated the Constitution in ordering deportations (NPR). Meanwhile, Elon Musk appears set to depart the Trump administration (ABC News), while the Pentagon ended Musk's Department of Government Efficiency requirement for civilians to report weekly activities (CBS). Trump issued pardons for reality TV stars Todd and Julie Chrisley (Fox News, NBC News), continuing his pardon spree. The administration maintains aggressive policies toward China, with Rubio announcing "aggressive" visa revocations for Chinese students (The Epoch Times, One America News Network).

The European Union has reimposed tight limits on statesโ€™ budget deficits โ€” but with exemptions for military spending. After years of claims that austerity was over, weโ€™re now seeing it used selectively to put limits on democratic choice.

Donald Trump is skilled at inflaming culture-war conflicts to distract from the GOPโ€™s shameless class war on behalf of the rich. For Democrats to counter Trump effectively, they need to attack the billionaire class.

17:44โ‡ขHarvard Wins Again

โŒจThe newspapers report on federal courts extending protections for Harvard against Trump administration policies. A federal judge extended the temporary restraining order blocking Trump's ban on foreign students at Harvard, with multiple sources describing this as another judicial defeat for the administration (Boston Globe, Washington Post, AP News, USA Today, The Hill, HuffPost, One America News Network, The Epoch Times). The coverage spans from mainstream outlets to conservative sources, with Breitbart characterizing the judge as "rogue" and backing Harvard against Trump. Meanwhile, courts continue blocking Trump's tariff policies, with The Atlantic arguing that striking down Trump's tariffs represents proper judicial authority rather than overreach, as Congress holds tariff power. The White House announced plans for a "big, beautiful bill" while facing these legal setbacks (Fox News). Youth activists have filed lawsuits challenging Trump's executive orders on climate policy (Common Dreams).

โŒจThe newspapers report on federal courts delivering multiple setbacks to Trump's core agenda. Two separate federal judges blocked Trump's tariff implementation, with courts ruling the levies illegal and exceeding presidential authority (NYTimes, The Hill, AP News, Newsweek, USA Today, Slate, The Atlantic).

Simultaneously, a federal judge extended the restraining order blocking Trump's ban on foreign students at Harvard, preventing the administration from revoking the university's enrollment authority (Boston Globe, NPR, Washington Post). Trump separately met with Federal Reserve Chair Powell to pressure him on interest rate cuts, with the White House saying Trump told Powell the Fed was "making a mistake" (CNN).

20:11โ‡ขAppeals Court Reverses Tariff Block

โŒจThe newspapers report on a federal appeals court reinstating Trump's tariffs after a lower court had blocked them. Multiple sources describe the appeals court granting a stay of the trade court ruling that declared the tariffs illegal, allowing Trump to continue collecting the levies while both sides prepare written arguments due early next month (ABC News, CBS, CNN, NYTimes, AP News, USA Today, The Hill, HuffPost). The White House characterized the original blocking as work by "rogue judges" while celebrating the appeals court decision (Breitbart, NY Post). This represents a reversal from yesterday's coverage when courts were blocking Trump's agenda, with the tariffs now back in effect pending further legal proceedings. Other coverage includes CVS announcing closure of 270 locations nationwide as part of retail restructuring (One America News Network) and celebrities drawing attention at Knicks playoff games (NBC News).
