President Trump’s first-term “Maximum Pressure” policies and aggressive diplomacy significantly lowered tensions with North Korea and set a path toward denuclearization and normalization of relations. Unfortunately, President Biden’s weak foreign policy and neglect of North Korea undermined Trump’s accomplishments and left him with new and complex security challenges to solve with Pyongyang in his second term. These challenges will gain more attention later this month at North Korea’s 9th Party Congress, when North Korean leader Kim Jong Un will probably reiterate his new policy of an “unlimited drive” to expand North Korea’s nuclear arsenal.

Trump’s announcement came during a press briefing the White House scheduled on short notice after the 6-3 ruling against the IEEPA tariffs, in which Chief Justice John Roberts, Justice Neil Gorsuch, and Justice Amy Coney Barrett sided with liberal judges to rule against the president. The 10 percent global tariff Trump is imposing on Friday is not under IEEPA but under Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974, which Justice Brett Kavanaugh emphasized is another vehicle for imposing tariffs in his dissenting opinion. “Effective immediately, all national security tariffs under Section 232, and existing Section 301, tariffs…

Rep. Randy Fine (R-FL) is moving forward with legislation aimed at safeguarding dog ownership nationwide following days of criticism, as well as calls for censure, resignation, and removal from committees, over a social media post in which he wrote, “If they force us to choose, the choice between dogs and Muslims is not a difficult one.”  I am proud to introduce the Protecting Puppies from Sharia Act. Democrats are losing their minds because I made a simple statement—given a choice between our dogs and those who would ban them, the choice is easy. They can pound sand. This bill will ban federal funds to any state or local government that considers dogs ‘haram.’ Proceed accordingly, Mamdani. 

The Supreme Court decreed in a bombshell 6-3 ruling Friday that Trump’s global tariffs were invalid and that he overstepped his powers by using the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) to impose them. The decision leaves open the question of whether the government will have to issue refunds to many of those it charged, which would be a logistical nightmare. Although liberals are celebrating, Trump himself and his Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent both said they were undeterred and would use other methods to achieve their goals. Three conservative justices, Samuel Alito, Clarence Thomas, and Brett Kavanaugh, dissented, and Kavanaugh came out swinging in his opinion:

California Democrats, seemingly eager to shield their sanctuary state from federal immigration enforcement, have introduced legislation that would effectively create a no-ICE zone around polling places ahead of the critical 2026 midterms.There's also the very crucial race for governor of California coming up in 2026. Republicans Chad Bianco and Steve Hilton consistently rank first or second in the latest polling. The legislation, sponsored by state Sen. Tom Umberg (D) and co-authored by Sen. Sabrina Cervantes, is being pitched as a defense against supposed voter intimidation from the Trump administration's ICE crackdown.

President Trump launched a scathing attack on Supreme Court justices Friday after suffering a 6-3 defeat on the legality of his “reciprocal” and fentanyl tariffs. “I’m ashamed of certain members of the court, absolutely ashamed, for not having the courage to do what’s right for our country,” Trump said in the White House briefing room, after two justices he nominated — Amy Coney Barrett and Neil Gorsuch — voted against his signature trade policies. “They’re very unpatriotic and disloyal to our Constitution. It’s my opinion that the court has been swayed by foreign interests and a political movement that is far smaller than people would ever think.”
