Good morning. It’s Friday, June 27.

The US Supreme Court ruled Friday that nationwide injunctions issued by lower-court judges “likely exceed” the judicial branch’s constitutional authority — handing a major boost to President Trump’s push to end birthright citizenship.

The case, Trump v. CASA, Inc., revolved around the administration’s challenge to multiple lower courts’ sweeping injunctions against the president’s Day One order overturning the longstanding constitutional protection.

The Supreme Court did not address the merits of Trump’s actual order in its opinion, only the extent to which one of the nearly 700 district judges in the US could block an executive action from taking effect.

 
 

Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) told Senate Republicans to expect to see the legislative text of the budget reconciliation package on Friday evening and then to vote at noon Saturday to begin debate on President Trump’s tax and spending bill.

Thune gave GOP senators the updated schedule after they met with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent to discuss a tentative deal between the White House and House Republicans from New York, New Jersey and California to raise the cap on state and local tax (SALT) deductions from $10,000 to $40,000 for a period of five years.

But Thune acknowledged after the meeting that the schedule could slip, calling the Saturday vote “aspirational.”

President Donald Trump said Friday he is “terminating” all trade discussions with Canada, effective immediately, because of its Digital Services Tax, and that he would announce new tariffs on the country within the next seven days.

“We have just been informed that Canada, a very difficult Country to TRADE with … has just announced that they are putting a Digital Services Tax on our American Technology Companies, which is a direct and blatant attack on our Country,” Trump said in a Truth Social post.

The decision came after Canada refused to delay the implementation of the tax for 30 days while the two countries negotiate a trade deal, White House National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett said Friday afternoon on Fox Business Network. “They’re taxing American companies who don’t necessarily even have a presence in Canada,” Hassett said, calling the tax “almost criminal.”

The Supreme Court ruled in favor of a group of Maryland parents who sued a school board over its refusal to allow elementary school children to be taken out of classes with LGBTQ-themed storybooks.

In a 6-3 decision along ideological lines Friday, the justices overturned a lower court ruling that found the parents needed to show that their kids were being coerced to act differently than their religious beliefs. The high court concluded that the parents “have shown that they are entitled to a preliminary injunction” because they “are likely to succeed in their challenge to the Board’s policies.”

The ruling is not the final decision in the matter, as the case will head back to the lower courts for further review.

The Supreme Court upheld a Texas law Friday that requires adult websites to verify the age of their users, concluding that the policy does not violate the First Amendment.

In a 6-3 decision, the high court deemed the law “appropriately tailored,” backing a prior Fifth Circuit decision that found states should be able to prevent youngsters from viewing smut online.

“The statute advances the State’s important interest in shielding children from sexually explicit content,” conservative Justice Clarence Thomas wrote in the majority opinion.

A Pulitzer Prize-winning Washington Post journalist was arrested and charged after authorities allegedly discovered child porn on his work computer, DC US Attorney Jeanine Pirro announced Friday.

Thomas Pham LeGro, a 48-year-old video editor at the news outlet, was taken into custody on Thursday after FBI agents raided his Washington, DC, home and discovered a folder on his work laptop which contained 11 videos depicting child sexual abuse material, according to Pirro’s office.

FBI agents also discovered “fractured pieces of a hard drive in the hallway outside the room where LeGro’s work laptop was found,” during the execution of the search warrant.

Far-left socialist and foreign-born Muslim Zohran Mamdani’s surprise primary victory over former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo in the NYC mayoral race has sent shockwaves through the business community. Even more unsettling for pro-business leaders is the realization that a growing segment of voters in the sanctuary city appears completely detached from basic economic math—a symptom of a failed progressive-dominated education system that has glorified socialism while vilifying capitalism.

Earlier this week, Dan Loeb, chief executive of hedge fund Third Point and a major Cuomo backer, put it best: “It’s officially hot commie summer.” Loeb was referring to Mamdani’s victory over Cuomo in the mayoral primary.

“The irony is that socialist policies that lead to hoarding of available housing and stifles investment in new housing leads to high housing costs; other well-intentioned anti-market attempts at wage control, excess regulation, a bloated government bureaucracy and confiscatory taxes cause this,” Loeb wrote on X earlier.

A Norwegian prince has been charged with three rapes — among a slew of sex and violence allegations involving a “double-digit” number of alleged victims.

Marius Borg Høiby, 28, the son of Crown Princess Mette-Marit and stepson to heir to the throne Prince Haakon, is at the centre of a months-long police probe.

After being first arrested last August, he has been charged with a slew of offences, which he denies.
