Facing a global market meltdown, President Donald Trump on Wednesday abruptly backed down on his tariffs on most nations for 90 days, but raised his tax rate on Chinese imports to 125%.
Breaking: Sen. Richard Blumenthal says he plans to place a hold on ALL Trump nominees going forward.
This will force Republicans to hold individual votes to override each hold, which will severely slow down their agenda.

So too do we all agree with the per curiam's command that the Fifth Amendment requires the Government to af-ford plaintiffs "notice after the date of this order that they are subject to removal under the Act,... within reasonable time and in such a manner as will allow them to actually seek habeas relief in the proper venue before such removal occurs." Ante, at 3. That means, of course, that the Gov-ernment cannot usher any detainees, including plaintiffs, onto planes in a shroud of secrecy, as it did on March 15, 2025. Nor can the Government "immediately resume" re-moving individuals without notice upon vacatur of the TRO, as it promised the D. C. Circuit it would do. See 2025 WL 914682, 13 (Millett, J., concurring) (referencing oral argu-ment before that court). To the extent the Government re-moves even one individual without affording him notice and meaningful opportunity to file and pursue habeas relief, it does so in direct contravention of an edict by the United States Supreme Court.
IMPORTANT: Sotomayor, in the dissent, emphasizes that all 9 justices believe that the Trump administration cannot do what it wants to do: shove people onto a plane with NO due process.
They openly told the DC Circuit they were going to do that if they won. On that issue, they lost.
Tariffs like these raise prices and don't work.
But if you skipped class the day we all learned that – here's a refresher:
As of Friday, there have been 46 cases in which federal judges have blocked Trump policies.
The rulings in those cases have come from 39 different judges appointed by 5 different presidents (of both parties) to 11 different district courts across 7 different circuits.
Maybe it's not the judges?

I was lucky enough to meet and visit with Tracy Letts’ mother Billie, who was also a wonderful writer and a great Oklahoman.
HAPPENING NOW: Judge Beryl Howell is presiding over an emergency hearing on whether she should grant USIP's request for a temporary restraining order against DOGE.
HAPPENING NOW: Judge Boasberg is presiding over a hearing regarding whether the Trump administration violated court order temporarily barring removal of Venezuelan migrants.
He kicks off by questioning DOJ about the timeline re: when flights took off on Saturday.

Of course they are .
(1/3) It needs repeating: in 1994, Ukraine was persuaded to give up its nuclear weapons to Russia in return for the US, the UK, and Russia guaranteeing Ukraine’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.

Honestly I don’t think I have ever felt as angry, disgusted and ashamed - so much so that it actually turned my stomach - about my government and its leaders as I did yesterday watching that rancid shitshow in the Oval Office yesterday.
