The Supreme Court’s 6–3 decision limited the president’s use of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act to impose broad tariffs, sparking a fierce dissent from Justice Clarence Thomas who argued history, precedent, and plain statutory text support presidential tariff authority. The Court’s majority, led by Chief Justice John Roberts, held that IEEPA, a 1977 law, does not authorize the president to impose tariffs even after declaring a national emergency. Justice Thomas, joined by Justices Brett Kavanaugh and Samuel Alito, responded with a scathing dissent that rejects the majority’s reading of both the statute and long-running trade practice. Fox News reported…

The disappearance of “Today” show host Savannah Guthrie’s mother three weeks ago prompted a handful of volunteers to organize searches in the dense desert surrounding her home. A small group of neighbors and local residents have taken it upon themselves to look for Savannah Guthrie’s mother in the scrub and sand near where she was last seen. They launched their own searches roughly three weeks after she vanished, focusing on areas that professional teams may not have covered exhaustively. Their efforts echo a community instinct to act when someone familiar goes missing. Volunteers say the terrain is unforgiving, with thick…

Social media arguments painting Baby Boomers as the generation that hoarded wealth and broke public systems have become a persistent online theme, prompting a closer look at what the data, policy choices, and cultural shifts actually say about intergenerational economics and blame. People born between 1946 and 1964 are frequently the target of sharp criticism on platforms like X, where threads insist Boomers own most assets and left younger generations to shoulder debts and scarcity. Those posts mix real grievances with oversimplified claims, turning complex economic and demographic trends into easy punch lines. Sorting fact from outrage requires looking beyond…

This piece looks at how a recent federal law enforcement shooting, involving a young man armed with a shotgun, pushed Department of Homeland Security funding back into the Capitol conversation as lawmakers returned from recess. The news cycle shifted when a federal law enforcement shooting became the headline just as Congress returned from a week-long recess. The incident involved the Secret Service confronting what has been described as a clear and present danger, specifically a young man armed with a shotgun. That timing turned routine funding talk into a politically charged debate over priorities and public safety. Republicans are pressing…

Sleep quality depends on more than mattress and pillows; bedroom temperature plays a major role in how well you rest and recover each night. Getting a full night’s restful sleep does a lot for your health, from boosting mood to supporting immune function and memory. Comfort helps drive good sleep, but being too cozy can backfire when the room is too warm. A new study showed that having the temperature too hot in the bedroom could actually be bad for sleep quality and overall recovery. The body relies on cooler skin and a slight drop in core temperature to fall…

A woman adopted as a toddler by an American war veteran in the 1970s after he found her in an Iranian orphanage and raised her as a Christian now faces deportation to Iran, a country where she has no recent ties and would likely be at risk. This case strikes at the intersection of immigration rules, veterans’ sacrifices, and basic common sense. A child rescued decades ago and raised in the United States by a servicemember deserves clarity on her status, not abrupt removal. The situation raises questions about how paperwork, policy, and bureaucracy can suddenly expose someone to danger…

Republicans can’t win the map fight by suing alone; the road to fair representation runs through campaign ground game, candidate quality, voter contact, and turnout infrastructure, backed up by legal work but not reliant on it. Relying solely on litigation makes for a weak long-term plan. Courts move slowly and outcomes are uncertain, and when Republicans bank everything on lawsuits they cede the day-to-day fight to opponents who are organizing voters and winning races. The practical reality is that map fights are decided at the ballot box as much as in a courtroom. Campaign mode means sustained voter outreach, not…

On February 20, the Supreme Court issued a 170-page decision in Learning Resources, Inc. v. Trump finding that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act does not authorize the president to impose across-the-board tariffs, a ruling that reshapes the balance between executive emergency powers and congressional authority over trade. The Court’s opinion, released Friday morning, February 20, runs 170 pages and reaches a clear legal conclusion: President Donald Trump lacked statutory authority under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act to place blanket tariffs on imports. That ruling narrows the scope of IEEPA and places a marker on how far a president…
