After the Supreme Court’s ruling Friday that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act does not authorize the president to impose tariffs, one lesson should be obvious: If President Donald Trump is going to keep reshaping the global trade order, he needs tools that rest on firm statutory footing and a record that can survive courtroom scrutiny.

The Mexican military reportedly killed the leader of one of the Western Hemisphere’s most dangerous drug trafficking organizations during a Sunday operation, setting off violent retaliation across multiple states.

New York City residents hoping to earn extra cash clearing snow from public spaces must first produce three forms of identification.

The requirement has drawn sharp criticism given the city’s relaxed approach to voter ID. The Department of Sanitation of New York is recruiting temporary workers ahead of a major blizzard expected to dump nearly two feet of snow on the five boroughs, according to the agency’s official website. Registration demands three categories of documentation: two small photos sized 1.5 inches square, a pair of original IDs along with photocopies, and a Social Security card.

President Donald Trump’s administration has not finalized how to allocate the more than half-trillion-dollar increase in U.S. military spending outlined in the White House’s proposed budget, according to The Washington Post.

Trump in January had approved Department of War (DoW) Secretary Pete Hegseth’s request to increase defense spending to $1.5 trillion in Fiscal Year 2027, up from the previous year’s $900 billion, a record at the time. This move, however, was heavily scrutinized by several members of the administration, including Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Director Russ Vought, who is widely considered to be a deficit hawk, the outlet reported Saturday, citing four anonymous sources.
