Today’s Big Story

Court Rules Trump Tariffs Illegal

• A federal appeals court ruled 7-4 that Trump's emergency-declared tariffs are illegal, saying only Congress has constitutional authority to impose such taxes. The decision affects his worldwide 'reciprocal' tariffs and penalties on Canada, Mexico, and China for fentanyl trafficking. Tariffs remain in effect until October 14 pending Supreme Court appeal.

• The ruling combined challenges from 12 states and 5 small businesses who argued that Trump's use of emergency powers for trade policy was unconstitutional. The court found Trump's emergency tariffs had no limits on scope, amount, or duration, exceeding presidential authority under the 1977 International Emergency Economic Powers Act.

• If the Supreme Court upholds the decision, the government may have to refund billions in tariff revenue already collected. Tariff revenue in 2025 reached $142 billion through July, more than double the amount for the same period last year, and is projected to reduce deficits by $4 trillion over the next decade.

• Climate change may be eroding sharks’ teeth. A new study finds acidic ocean conditions projected for 2300 corrode blacktip reef shark teeth, leaving cracks and holes. Since sharks constantly regrow teeth, acidification could force faster replacement and hinder mineralization. Combined with habitat loss, overfishing, and poaching, weakened teeth may further threaten sharks’ survival. (More)

• Irish missionary Gena Heraty and eight others were freed after nearly a month of captivity in Haiti. Armed attackers stormed her orphanage on August 3rd, kidnapping Heraty, seven Haitian staff, and a three-year-old child. Heraty had run the facility caring for 270 children for 32 years. No reason was given for their release. Violent gangs now control Haiti's capital and routinely kidnap for ransom. (More)

• President Trump won't spend $4.9 billion in foreign aid Congress approved, using a "pocket rescission" to cut the budget without lawmakers' permission.

It's the first pocket rescission in nearly 50 years and targets State Department and USAID programs. (More)
