The day federal court struck down Trump tariffs

Morning coverage continued to focus on the Minneapolis school shooting, with reports detailing victims' grief, the shooter's past writings, and controversial speculation by RFK Jr. on motives. Concurrently, an RFK Jr. deputy was appointed to lead the CDC amidst ongoing leadership turmoil and concerns about political influence on the agency. By midday, President Trump's administration initiated new actions, notably revoking Kamala Harris's Secret Service protection, which quickly became a central political topic. In the afternoon, Trump further asserted executive power by blocking nearly $5 billion in foreign aid through an untested "pocket rescission," a move widely reported as defying Congress and raising concerns over legislative spending power. The day concluded with a federal appeals court ruling many of Trump's tariffs unlawful or unconstitutional. While this challenged a significant part of his trade agenda, the court delayed enforcement, allowing tariffs to remain in place pending a likely appeal to the Supreme Court.
