Good evening. It’s Wednesday, May 28.

A federal court on Wednesday ruled that President Donald Trump overstepped his authority to impose sweeping tariffs.

But the administration immediately appealed the decision on Wednesday night, leaving the situation uncertain for consumers and companies and potentially prolonging the battle over whether Trump’s import duties will stand – and possibly reshape the global economy.

A three-judge panel at the US Court of International Trade, a relatively low-profile court in Manhattan, stopped Trump’s global tariffs that he imposed citing emergency economic powers, including the “Liberation Day” tariffs he announced on April 2. It also prevents Trump from enforcing his tariffs placed earlier this year against China, Mexico and Canada, designed to combat fentanyl coming into the United States.

 
 

Elon Musk is beginning the process of stepping down from his role as head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

The Tesla and SpaceX CEO posted on X on Wednesday night that his time as a special government employee is coming to an end and thanked President Donald Trump for the opportunity to cut down on wasteful spending.

“The ⁦‪@DOGE‬⁩ mission will only strengthen over time as it becomes a way of life throughout the government,” Musk wrote in his post. The White House confirmed to FOX that Musk’s post is accurate and offboarding will begin Wednesday night.

Paramount Global, the parent company of CBS News, has offered President Donald Trump $15 million to settle a lawsuit that alleged the network’s “60 Minutes” news program deceitfully edited an interview with former Vice President Kamala Harris to make her sound better.

But the president’s legal team wants more than $25 million and is also seeking an apology from CBS News, The Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday, citing people familiar with the situation.

Trump’s legal team has threatened another lawsuit against CBS related to alleged bias of its news coverage, the Journal reported. Wednesday was the deadline for Trump to respond to Paramount’s motion to dismiss the lawsuit.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested an illegal immigrant Mexican national in Wisconsin last Thursday after he allegedly mailed a handwritten note to an ICE officer threatening to assassinate President Donald Trump.

Ramon Morales-Reyes, 54, entered the U.S. illegally on a minimum of nine separate occasions between 1999 and 2005. His criminal record includes arrests for felony hit-and-run, criminal damage to property and disorderly conduct with a “domestic abuse modifier,” according to the Department of Homeland Security. He said he would self-deport after he shot the president in the head.

An officer got the letter last week.

President Trump has signed off on a full pardon for former Rep. Michael Grimm of New York, according to a White House official.

Grimm, a Republican, was convicted in November 2014 of tax fraud and related charges stemming from his ownership of a Manhattan restaurant before joining Congress. Prosecutors said he underreported wages and revenue to the government, and that he filed false tax documents.

They alleged Grimm employed unauthorized workers whom he paid “off the books” in cash, took deliberate steps to obstruct the federal and state governments from collecting taxes he properly owed, cheated the state of New York out of workers’ compensation insurance premiums, caused numerous false business and personal tax returns to be filed for several years and lied under oath to cover up his crimes.

A celebrated Harvard professor who researched why people are dishonest was fired and stripped of tenure after a probe found she fabricated data on multiple studies.

Francesca Gino, a star behavioral scientist at Harvard Business School whose work focused on why people cheat, was found to have manipulated observations in four studies so that their findings supported her hypotheses – according to a 1,300-page report detailing the university’s months-long investigation.

Of note, Harvard hasn’t revoked a professor’s tenure since the 1940s – when the American Association of University Professors formalized termination rules, the Harvard Crimson reports.

Elias Rodriguez, the accused in Wednesday’s deadly shooting near the Capital Jewish Museum, allegedly suggested a white genocide in leaked chats obtained by a left-wing journalist.

The U.S. Department of Justice charged Rodriguez on Thursday with shooting and killing two Israeli embassy staff members. He expressed a number of alarmingly anti-Western sentiments, according to messages in a group chat journalist Ken Klippenstein alleges one of Rodriguez’s friends leaked to him.

“Lol you probably would have to actually genocide white people to make this a normal country,” Rodriguez wrote in one message, according to Klippenstein. “Like even a very targeted and selective rehabilitation program would probably have to lead to the lifetime imprisonments of tens of millions of white people.”
