The Supreme Court struck down President Donald Trump's sweeping tariffs on Friday in a 6-3 vote. The justices ruled that the tariffs — which were imposed by a series of executive orders — exceeded presidential powers under a 1977 law that gives the president authority to regulate commerce only in the case of international emergencies. The ruling takes away a "leverage power tool by Trump," says Lori Wallach, director of the Rethink Trade program at the American Economic Liberties Project. "He's furious about it, because a court that's been otherwise willing to expand his authority endlessly drew a line."
Trump called the ruling a "disgrace" and responded Friday by announcing a new 10% global tariff — which he increased to 15% Saturday.

As President Trump suggests the federal government should "nationalize" and take over the elections process from the states, we speak with Arizona Secretary of State Adrian Fontes. He is the former county recorder for Maricopa County, Arizona, and oversaw elections there in 2020. The Justice Department has sued Arizona and over 20 other states for their full voter registration lists. "No means no," Fontes says in response to the Trump administration's encroachment on state authority. "We should not be handing over any of our personal identifying information to the president. Not only should we not be doing it, but it's against the law for me to fulfill the request from the Department of Justice."

WASHINGTON - Today, Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro N. Mayorkas released the following statement on President Biden's Executive Order, Transforming Federal Customer Experience and Service Delivery to Rebuild Trust in Government:
"Today's Executive Order is a historic step forward in ensuring that all Americans who interact with the federal government can more easily access its programs and services. The Department of Homeland Security is committed to ensuring the public can seamlessly interact with its agencies and offices and is taking key steps to reduce administrative burdens and improve efficiency, equity, and accessibility throughout the customer experience."
The President's Executive Order, explicitly designed to reduce the "time tax" imposed on people who interact with federal agencies, builds on a long list of initiatives launched by DHS this year to eliminate unnecessary administrative barriers and burdens related to disaster assistance, immigration, trade and travel facilitation, and much more.
Under today's Executive Order, the Department's Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) will:
develop a streamlined, online disaster assistance application;work with states to proactively update existing rules and policies on supporting documentation needed for disaster assistance to reduce burdens to applicants and increase accessibility;test the use of innovative technologies at airport security checkpoints to reduce passenger wait times; and,provide new opportunities for the public to more efficiently connect with TSA, including through online chat options, improved communication during additional screenings, and other mechanisms to receive customer feedback to inform future improvements to the customer experience.DHS interacts more frequently on a daily basis with the American public than any other federal agency, from trav
