U.S. Solicitor General D. John Sauer has asked the Supreme Court to accept the case by next week, hear arguments in early November and “expedite” its ultimate ruling “to the maximum extent feasible.” [Appeal Here] with [Expedited Review Request Here]
At issue is the president’s authority under the International Economic Emergency Powers Act (IEEPA), a 1977 law Trump used to impose baseline tariffs between 10 and 50 percent on goods from countries who do not have Free Trade Agreements with the U.S.
President Trump also declared fentanyl drug shipments a national emergency, providing the administration’s justification for imposing tariffs on Canada, China and Mexico.
From the request for expedited consideration, “The en banc Federal Circuit’s erroneous decision has disrupted highly impactful, sensitive, ongoing diplomatic trade negotiations, and cast a pall of legal uncertainty over the President’s efforts to protect our country by preventing an unprecedented economic and foreign-policy crisis,” Sauer notes.
Adding comments from Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, “The recent decision by the Federal Circuit is already adversely affecting ongoing negotiations. World leaders are questioning the Presi-dent’s authority to impose tariffs, walking away from or delaying negotiations, and/or imposing a different calculus on their negotiating positions.”
Moreover, “[t]he frameworks for trade agreements already in place contain additional provisions whereby the trade partners agree to significant purchases from and/or in-vestments in the United States.” … “If these agreed upon frameworks were unwound and the investments and purchases had to be repaid, the economic consequences would be catastrophic.” (more)
President Donald Trump’s administration told 40 states, including Maine, to eliminate parts of lessons that focus on LGBTQ+ issues from federally funded sexual education materials or they will lose funding.
The move is the latest in a line of efforts since Trump returned to the White House in January to recognize people as only male or female and to eliminate what he calls “gender ideology.”
“Federal funds will not be used to poison the minds of the next generation or advance dangerous ideological agendas,” Acting Assistant Health and Human Service Secretary Andrew Gradison said in a statement.
Public housing agencies across the country are being asked to share the personal information of tenants receiving rental assistance under Section 8 with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), as federal authorities target immigrant families served by the program.
The move, according to HUD Secretary Scott Turner, will help make sure that what he called “illegal aliens”—foreign-born individuals without legal authorization or permission to stay in the U.S.—would not receive rental help over American citizens.
“D.C. Housing Authority is on notice—we are demanding all citizenship information for residents,” Turner wrote on X last weekend. “We are telling the same to the more than 3,000 Public Housing Authorities across the country. The taxpayer-funded vacation is over.”
At least 54 people have been shot, seven fatally, across Chicago over Labor Day weekend, including a drive-by attack that left seven victims wounded, according to police.
The violent holiday weekend came as President Donald Trump renewed threats to send federal agents and National Guard troops to Chicago over the objections of Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson.
Trump on Saturday sent a warning to Pritzker in a post on his social media platform, referencing recent crime in Chicago and saying Pritzker “better straighten it out, FAST, or we’re coming!”
This will be part two of my reporting on this incident. Covering the police cover up, the fake articles by the Daily Mail and others in the UK media and an update of what has transpired since.
First let’s get to some additional details that were not reported by the police or the media regarding the gypsy migrant who describes himself as “the gypsy gangster.”
When the family arrived on scene Fatos Ali Dumana was seen assaulting the police officers, spitting on them and had to have a spit bag put on his head. After that, he was put into the back of police van where he went irate and was aggressively kicking the van from the inside.
According to the family, the original CCTV footage that would have shown the entire series of events has now “gone missing.” In addition to the CCTV footage’s miraculous disappearance, the family has tried to get hospital records from Ruby’s hospital visit. Unfortunately they were informed by the hospital that this request would take weeks. Have you ever heard of a simple hospital record taking weeks to get?
Because of all the fake reports from media organizations like Daily Mail, the families of the girls are in fear for their life. They’ve been harassed daily by the media, by the police, and by others in the community branding them “far-right racists” just for speaking the truth of what happened to their 12 and 13 year old daughters. The police have also given them “rape alarms” and locks to put on their doors as there are reports of violent threats against them.
It’s become clear that the UK system is now designed to help the criminals and punish the victims. I’ll continue to update this story as I hear more.
