Morning editorial priorities focused on the escalating military buildup against Iran and the legal fallout of Prince Andrew’s arrest following his release from custody. Media attention also tracked President Trump’s order to declassify UFO and alien files, a move some outlets framed as a distraction from the Epstein investigation. The narrative shifted entirely at 3:12 PM when the Supreme Court issued a 6-3 ruling striking down the administration’s sweeping global tariffs. Editors highlighted the constitutional limit placed on executive emergency powers, noting that three Trump-appointed justices joined the liberal minority. By evening, headlines centered on the President’s personal fury toward the court and his immediate signature of a new executive order imposing a 10% global levy to circumvent the ruling. This secondary trade maneuver dominated late-night coverage, alongside reports of British officials considering removing Prince Andrew from the royal line of succession.
