🚨TRUMP TARIFFS STRUCK DOWN
Stocks jumping.
A federal court has ruled President Trump does not have the authority under economic emergency legislation to impose sweeping global tariffs. The court gave the White House 10 days to end tariffs.
The Trump administration immediately filed plans to appeal.
The U.S. Court of International Trade's ruling could bring the administration's trade war to a screeching halt.
The ruling does not affect tariffs issued by the Trump administration under separate legal authorities, including levies on steel, aluminum and cars, and more that Trump has threatened on pharmaceuticals, semiconductors and other critical products.
A White House spokesman criticized the ruling,“It is not for unelected judges to decide how to properly address a national emergency,” he said, adding that Trump would use “every lever of executive power to address this crisis.”
💻Trump Steps up Economic War With China
The Trump administration has stopped exports to China of jet engines, semiconductors and certain chemicals and machinery. The move is a response to China’s recent restrictions on exports of critical minerals to the United States,

🐓Trump Takes Offense At ‘TACO’* Trade - *Trump Always Chickens Out
Stock up this morning after turning lower as concerns about the economy persist, driven by tariffs.
Wall Street last closed up after a 4-day losing streak on the so called ‘TACO’ trade, which is short for Trump Always Chickens Out. The term describes the pattern in which markets tumble after Trump makes tariff threats, only to rebound when he relents and gives countries more time to negotiate deals.
In the latest example, the President said he would delay threatened tariffs on the EU until July 9th, giving Europe a reprieve from his threat for 50% tariffs on the 27-nation bloc that were set to go into effect on June 1st.
When asked about the term, Trump denied that he had ever backed down and suggested that his moves have helped the U.S. gain ground in trade negotiations.
“After I did what I did, they said, ‘We’ll meet anytime you want,’” Trump asserted of the EU.
“You call that chickening out?” Trump asked, “It’s called negotiation,” he added, after criticizing the question as “nasty.”
BY THE NUMBERS:
💸MUSK: Attacks Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill
Elon Musk says he is "disappointed" by the price tag of the domestic policy bill passed by Republicans in the House and heavily backed by President Trump. The billionaire who recently stepped back from running the Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, made the remark during an interview with "CBS Sunday Morning."
"I was disappointed to see the massive spending bill, frankly, which increases the budget deficit, not just decreases it, and undermines the work that the DOGE team is doing," Musk said.
Musk's comments appear to put him at odds with Trump, who has championed the massive spending package. The legislation — which still needs to pass the Senate — would extend Mr. Trump's signature 2017 tax cuts, boost border security spending, impose work requirements on Medicaid and roll back clean energy tax credits.
It comes as Musk’s SpaceX loses a third Starship during testing.
The rocket, the largest built, broke apart midflight yesterday, though it made more progress than during previous missions. More tests are expected soon.
🪆TRUMP: Calls Putin ‘Crazy’
President Trump says Russia’s Vladimir Putin has "gone absolutely CRAZY" by unleashing the largest aerial attack of the war on Ukraine. Trump claims he’s weighing new sanctions on Moscow, though he also scolded Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy.
Trump posted the remark on Truth Social as sleeping Ukrainians woke to a third consecutive night of Russian aerial attacks, listening for hours to drones buzzing near their homes and eruptions of Ukrainian anti-aircraft fire.
The Ukrainian air force said Russia had launched 355 drones and nine cruise missiles against Ukraine overnight, a huge salvo that the air force's spokesman says made it Russia's largest drone attack of the war to date.
"Something has happened to him (Putin). He has gone absolutely CRAZY!" Trump said of the Russian president on Truth Social, referring to the previous night's attack by Russia.
✈️Summer Of Hell For Airlines
Memorial Day signaled what is expected to be a summer of hell for airlines with one problem after another.
Air traffic control problems are causing flight delays and cancellations, feeding into traveler worries over safety that began in January with the worst US air crash in decades. A global trade war and other economic concerns are driving down the value of the dollar, making overseas travel more expensive for Americans.
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy says that Newark airport will see “several weeks” of reduced capacity as officials grapple with spiraling delays and safety lapses at one of the country’s busiest hubs, add to that problems at Washington Reagan and Denver’s airport.

🍿MOVIES: Memorial Day Record Box Office
A Memorial Day weekend for the box office record books.
Movie theaters across the country were jammed as “Lilo & Stitch” and Tom Cruise’s “Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning” fueled the largest Memorial Day holiday in history — and established several other benchmarks in the process.
Families turned out in force for Disney’s live-action “Lilo & Stitch” remake, which collected a blockbuster $145.5 million in its opening weekend and an estimated $183 million through Monday. Those ticket sales defied projections and cemented a Memorial Day opening weekend record, overtaking a different Cruise tentpole, 2022’s “Top Gun: Maverick,” with $126 million over the weekend and $160 million through the four days. “Lilo & Stitch” also secured the second-largest start across any four-day holiday weekend, behind only 2018’s “Black Panther,” which amassed $242 million over Presidents’ Day.
🔫 Man Charged With Killing 2 ISRAEL Embassy Aides In DC
Elias Rodriguez, 31, of Chicago faces charges including murder, murder of foreign officials and several felony gun crimes. Two young Israeli Embassy aides were shot and killed outside an event at the Capital Jewish Museum in downtown Washington by a man who shouted ‘Free Palestine’ after he was arrested.
The close-range shooting occurred shortly after 9 p.m. on Wednesday on a street outside the Capital Jewish Museum, where the American Jewish Committee was hosting a reception for young diplomats. The area is the heart of official Washington, packed with federal buildings, embassies and museums.
The suspect, identified as Elias Rodriguez, 30, of Chicago, was detained shortly after the shooting and there was no ongoing threat to public safety, law enforcement officials said.
🎹BILLY JOEL: Brain Disorder
Billy Joel has canceled all of his upcoming concerts, including a large-scale tour scheduled for this year and next, because of a brain disorder known as normal pressure hydrocephalus, he announced on Friday.
“This condition has been exacerbated by recent concert performances, leading to problems with hearing, vision and balance,” said a statement that was posted to the singer’s social media accounts. “Under his doctor’s instructions, Billy is undergoing specific physical therapy and has been advised to refrain from performing during this recovery period.”
✈️TRUMP-FORCE ONE: $400 Million Gift
The Defense Department formally accepted a luxury 747 jumbo jet from Qatar to temporarily serve as the new Air Force One for President Donald Trump, one of the biggest foreign gifts ever given to the US.
The move fulfills Trump’s desire for a new presidential aircraft, after years of delays in the government’s contract with the aerospace giant for new planes to serve that role. Still, the gift raises ethical and security concerns, with politicians from both parties questioning the president’s decision.
“The Secretary of Defense has accepted a Boeing 747 from Qatar in accordance with all federal rules and regulations,” chief Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell said in a statement. “The Department of Defense will work to ensure proper security measures and functional-mission requirements are considered for an aircraft used to transport the President of the United States.”
📺PARAMOUNT/CBS: Bribing Trump In Order To Sell?
Senators are seeking information about Paramount efforts to settle a lawsuit by President Trump against the company’s CBS News, probing whether the company risks violating a federal bribery law.
In a letter to Paramount Global Chair Shari Redstone, Sens. Elizabeth Warren (D., Mass.), Ron Wyden (D., Ore.) and Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.) said they are concerned that the media company “may be engaging in improper conduct involving the Trump Administration in exchange for approval of its merger with Skydance Media.”
Trump is suing CBS News for $20 billion over how the network’s “60 Minutes” edited an interview with Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris last October. The suit alleges the interview was deceitfully edited to make her sound better. CBS has said it was neither doctored nor deceitful.
🪙PENNY: No More Pennies For Your Thoughts
The US government is ending production of the penny, citing drastically decreased demand and immediate savings.
The Treasury Department said in a statement that it made its final order of penny blanks this month, and the US Mint will stop making pennies when the inventory of blanks is depleted.
President Donald Trump announced in February that he was directing the Treasury secretary to halt production of the one-cent coin as part of a broader effort to cut waste in the national budget.
“For far too long the United States has minted pennies which literally cost us more than 2 cents,” he said in a Truth Social post. “This is so wasteful!”
👩💻GOOGLE: Takes On AI Bots
Google fights back against new AI rivals.
The search giant said it was introducing a new feature in its search engine called A.I. Mode. The tool will function like a chatbot, allowing people to start a query, ask follow-up questions and use the company’s A.I. system to deliver comprehensive answers.
“It’s a total reimagining of search,” said Sundar Pichai, the chief executive of Google, in a press briefing ahead of the company’s annual conference for software developers. In tests of the feature, he said, people dramatically “changed the nature of how they are interacting with search.”
🩺BIDEN: How Did White House Doctors Miss Cancer
Former President Joe Biden has been diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer that has spread to his bones. The diagnosis came after Biden reported urinary symptoms, which led doctors to find a “small nodule” on his prostate.
The last time Biden received a PSA test was in 2014 according to a spokesman. /But we do know that both 0bama, Trump and Clinton received prostate tests from the White House physician.
The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, a government-backed volunteer panel of experts that makes preventive health recommendations, advises against PSA screening for men ages 70 and above, based on concerns about false positives and overtreating low-risk forms of the disease. Other groups advise older men to make the decision about whether to continue screening in consultation with their doctors.
📘Biden Cover Up—Bombshell New Book
A rapidly aging Joe Biden couldn’t even recognize George Clooney at a Democratic fundraiser in Los Angeles during the 2024 campaign — leaving the Hollywood star “shaken to his core,” a bombshell new book claims.
The troubling incident, which unfolded at a star-studded fundraiser co-hosted by Clooney, was laid bare in the forthcoming book “Original Sin” by Alex Thompson and Jake Tapper, which chronicles the attempt to cover up Biden’s decline while in office.
“The original sin of Election 2024 was Biden’s decision to run for re-election — followed by aggressive efforts to hide his cognitive diminishment,” Tapper and Thompson write. On the evening of June 27, 2024, Democratic voters watched the first presidential debate in amazement and horror: A red-faced Donald Trump let loose a barrage of audacious whoppers while Biden, slack-jawed and pale, struggled to string together intelligible rebuttals.
⛵️MEXICAN NAVY Ship Smashes Into Brooklyn Bridge, 2 Dead
Two are dead after Mexican sailors were seen dangling from a navy training vessel's main mast moments after the ship smashed into the Brooklyn Bridge.
The sailors had been standing atop the Cuauhtémoc's 150-foot masts in the lead up to the ship striking the iconic structure on Saturday as part of a traditional greeting.
The massive Navy vessel, reportedly carrying nearly 300 passengers, hit the iconic New York City bridge, triggering a colossal rescue response and leaving two dead and dozens more severely injured.
📱China’s TikTok: Will It Be Sold Now?
President Trump had extended the deadline to sell TikTok after China insisted on a trade deal first.
TikTok owner ByteDance, had agreed to a proposed deal and was preparing to announce it when the company told administration officials that China insisted on the negotiations first, according to the Washington Post.

📺CBS NEWS CEO: Pushed Out
Embattled CBS News boss Wendy McMahon was pushed out on after less than two years – in wake of a $20 billion lawsuit brought by President Trump that has stalled parent company Paramount’s $8 billion merger with Skydance Media.
McMahon, who was given the title of CEO of CBS News, Stations, and CBS Media Ventures in 2023, has opposed settling the lawsuit over a “60 Minutes” interview with Kamala Harris in the heat of the presidential campaign that Trump alleges was deceptively edited to aid the former vice president.
“It’s become clear that the company and I do not agree on the path forward,” McMahon said in a memo sent to shell-shocked staff.
🎸TRUMP Calls Springsteen “Obnoxious Jerk”
Doesn’t Donald Trump have something better to do?
President Trump fired back at criticism from Bruce Springsteen insisting he "never liked" the New Jersey native or his music, despite having used Springsteen songs at his campaign rallies, calling the boss “an obnoxious jerk”.
Trump's Truth Social rant came after Springsteen took aim at the president while on his European tour, calling the administration "corrupt, incompetent and treasonous" during a May 14 concert in Manchester, England.
Springsteen told the British crowd before the night's first song "The Land of Hope and Dreams," that "the mighty E Street Band is here tonight to call upon the righteous power of art, of music, of rock 'n' roll in dangerous times."
Trump also blasted staunch Democrat Taylor Swift as "no longer hot". Yep this is what we want to hear from our President!?!
‼️IMMIGRATION GAMES
The Department of Homeland Security is considering being part of a television show in which immigrants would compete for U.S. citizenship.
The pitch for the proposed show comes from Rob Worsoff, a producer and writer whose credits include the “Duck Dynasty” reality show.
“This isn’t ‘The Hunger Games’ for immigrants,” Worsoff said. Immigrants already in the system would compete in various contests including potentially on American history and science. Worsoff stressed that losing contestants wouldn’t face deportation. “This is not, ‘Hey, if you lose, we are shipping you out on a boat out of the country.”
👩⚖️DIDDY: Jury Views ‘Freak-Off’ Pix
The jury in the Sean Diddy Combs trial viewed sexually explicit pictures of the so called ‘freak-offs’ performed by Cassie Ventura.
Cassie described for jurors the first time Diddy got violent with her when they were on a car ride in 2007.
Cassie said she shrugged her shoulders at Combs after she saw him flirting with someone else inside a restaurant and then he retaliated against her once they got in the car.
"When we got in the car, he knocked me around," said Cassie -- who would have been around 21 at the time and have recently started becoming romantic with him.
They were inside an Escalade SUV and Combs' security guard and driver were there for the vicious beating, she said.
"He hit me on the side of the head, he knocked me the floor of the car," Cassie said.
She said she was "shocked" and didn't understand why Combs had gotten so angry.
Cassie described another time when they were driving in an Escalade in Los Angeles and she hit Combs for calling her a name, "slut or b---h or something."
Combs' "eyes went black" and he started "stomping on my face with his foot."
The ride lasted 10 minutes and Combs was attacking her as she tried "to defend" and "cover" herself.
"I had never experienced anything like that, when I was really badly beaten," Cassie told the jury.
She said she bolted down the street but Combs' security guard caught up to her.
Once inside Combs' house, she looked at herself in the mirror.
"I didn’t look like myself at all. I was swollen, everything, it was horrible," Cassie said.
📺BAD MANAGEMENT: HBO MAX Is Back
What’s in a name?
For company logos just about everything! Which is why Warner Bros. Discovery’s continuing name-game is awful business!
HBO became HBO Max, and then it became Max. Now, it will be HBO Max again.
Warner Bros. Discovery is renaming its streaming platform again starting this summer, restoring a name it ditched just two years ago.
Warner Bros. Discovery first launched its stand-alone streaming service HBO Max in 2020 when the brand was still owned by AT&T.
The “Max” moniker was added to signify that the platform would have a wide array of content, from reality TV, documentaries, kids programming and movies, as well as the prestige branding of HBO titles.
At the time, leadership believed HBO had too small of an audience, much of which was U.S.-based, and that there was more value in making HBO a sub-brand within a larger streaming offering.
The service was later renamed Max in 2023. That change came after the merging of Discovery Communications and WarnerMedia, which was divested from AT&T in 2022. Content from Discovery+ was added to HBO Max under the new name.
Now, two years later, Warner Bros. Discovery has reversed course.
⚾️HALL OF FAME: Pete Rose, Shoeless Joe Eligible
Major League Baseball has removed Pete Rose and “Shoeless” Joe Jackson – two of the sport’s most famous players who were previously kicked out of baseball for gambling on the game – from the league’s permanently ineligible list.
The historic decision by MLB commissioner Rob Manfred allows them to be considered for induction into the Baseball Hall of Fame, an honor that had been ruled out as part of the settlement Rose reached with Major League Baseball. Rose died in September, and Manfred ruled that his lifetime ban ended with his death.
💨AMERICAN POPE
Pope Leo, in his first address to the media, called for an end to a polarizing “war of words” made of partisan and ideological attacks and not give space to fanaticism and hatred.
Cardinal Robert Prevost, an American missionary who spent his career ministering in Peru and leads the Vatican’s powerful office of bishops, has been elected the first American pope in the 2,000-year history of the Catholic Church.
Prevost, 69, took the name Leo XIV.
U.S. Catholics tend to lean Republican, but they had overwhelmingly positive views of Francis — even though he clashed with President Trump over issues like immigration.
In February, a social media account under Prevost’s name expressed criticism of Vice President JD Vance, sharing an article that called the vice president’s interpretation of Christian doctrine “wrong.”
🚨HAMAS RELEASES: Last American Hostage
Hamas has released Edan Alexander, a dual U.S. and Israeli citizen believed to be the last living U.S. citizen who remains captive in Gaza, weeks after saying it had lost contact with the group holding him hostage.
His release is part of “the steps being taken to achieve a ceasefire, open the crossings, and allow aid,” Khalil al-Hayya, head of Hamas’ negotiating team, said in a statement Sunday. Al-Hayya did not provide information on Alexander’s condition.
‼️TRUMP: Uncertain About Constitution
President Trump asked about his constitutional obligations, "Don't you need to uphold the Constitution of the United States as president?" Trump replied, "I don't know."
Trump argued in an interview on “Meet the Press” that fulfilling his ambitious campaign promise to rapidly carry out mass deportations may take precedence over giving immigrants the right to due process under the Constitution, as required by courts.
A central part of Trump’s agenda has been implementing the “largest deportation operation” in U.S. history, as he vowed during the 2024 campaign. In service of that goal, his administration has pressed the courts to allow the immediate removal of immigrants it accuses of being members of a Venezuelan gang, without giving them a chance to plead their case before a judge.
In an interview last month with “Meet the Press,” Secretary of State Marco Rubio said, “Yes, of course,” when asked whether every person in the United States is entitled to due process.
Trump, however, isn’t so sure.
“I don’t know. I’m not, I’m not a lawyer. I don’t know,” Trump replied when asked by “Meet the Press” moderator Kristen Welker whether he agreed with Rubio.
📺FOX’s PIRRO: Now U.S. Attorney
President Trump says he will appoint Fox News host and former prosecutor Jeanine Pirro as interim U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia.
Trump announced the pick in a post on Truth Social.
The selection comes as Trump told reporters in the Oval Office Thursday that Ed Martin, who is currently serving as D.C.'s interim top prosecutor, would not be taking the position permanently after losing support among top Republicans in the Senate.
Pirro has been a longtime ally of Trump, dating back to her time as a prominent prosecutor in New York. She was an early supporter of his 2016 campaign and publicly defended him during the "Access Hollywood" tape scandal.
Following Trump's loss in the 2020 election, Pirro pushed false allegations of election fraud involving voting machines and was later among the Fox News employees named in the Dominion Voting Systems defamation lawsuit for broadcasting false claims about the company. Fox News eventually settled for $787.5 million and admitted the statements were false.
💸WARREN BUFFET
94 year old Billionaire Warren Buffett shocked an arena full of shareholders by announcing that he will retire as CEO at the end of the year, bringing the curtain down on a six-decade run leading Berkshire Hathaway that made him the most influential investor in the world. Buffett will remain Chairman
Buffett said he will recommend to Berkshire Hathaway’s board that Vice Chairman Greg Abel should replace him.
“I think the time has arrived where Greg should become the chief executive officer of the company at year end,” Buffett said.
Abel has been Buffett’s designated successor for years, and he already manages all of Berkshire’s noninsurance businesses. But it was always assumed that he would not take over until after Buffett’s death. Previously the 94-year-old Buffett always said he had no plans to retire.
Buffett announced the news at the end of a five-hour question and answer period without taking any questions about it. He said the only board members who knew this was coming were his two children, Howard and Susie Buffett. Abel, who was sitting next to Buffett on stage, had no warning.

🔻TRUMP POLL: Lowest 100-Day Approval In 80-Years
Donald Trump has the lowest 100-day job approval rating of any president in the past 80 years, with public pushback on many of his policies and extensive economic discontent, including broad fears of a recession, according to a new ABC News/Washington Post/Ipsos poll.

‼️TEXT-GATE: Excuses, Lies & Coverups
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s personal phone number, the one used in a recent Signal chat, was easily accessible on the internet and public apps as recently as March, potentially exposing national security secrets to foreign adversaries, according to rge New York Times.
He apparently did it a second time —Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth used his personal phone to send information about U.S. military operations in Yemen to a 13-person Signal group chat, including his wife and his brother, according to reports.
Asked by reporters if he still had confidence in his defense secretary, President Trump defended Pete Hegseth. “He’s doing a great job — ask the Houthis how he’s doing,” he said, referring to the rebel group in Yemen. The Houthis were the target of strikes about which Hegseth shared information in a private Signal group.
The development comes about a month after it became public that Hegseth shared details of strikes in Yemen in a separate Signal chat with top administration officials. The editor-in-chief of The Atlantic was mistakenly

President Trump threatened Harvard University’s tax-exempt status after the school hit back at his administration’s demands for a series of policy changes.
The threat came a day after the Trump administration halted more than $2 billion in federal funding for Harvard because the university rejected changes to its hiring and admissions practices and curriculum.
“No government — regardless of which party is in power — should dictate what private universities can teach, whom they can admit and hire, and which areas of study and inquiry they can pursue,” says Alan Garber, Harvard’s president.

👙HOOTERS BANKRUPT: Inflation or Deflation?
Hooters, the restaurant chain known for its all-female serving staff in revealing outfits has filed for bankruptcy in a Texas court, the company announced on Monday.
Under the bankruptcy agreement, a group that includes the company’s founders — who independently run about a third of the franchised locations in the United States — will buy the company-owned restaurants in the United States from the private equity firm that owns the chain.
The complicated bankruptcy filing is a way to keep many of the restaurants open.
📺YOUTUBE: Tops TV Viewing
YouTube commanded more TV time than any other media provider in February, and its top ranking was thanks in part to viewers over the age of 50.
The service accounted for 11.6 percent of all TV use in the country in Nielsen‘s rankings of media distributors for the February period (which ran from Jan. 27-Feb. 23). That’s an all-time high for YouTube and the second time it has placed atop the distributor rankings; it previously did so in July 2024.
YouTube improved from 10.8 percent of TV use in January and passed Disney (10 percent) for the overall spot among TV content distributors. Nielsen notes that the rise for YouTube was fueled partly by a somewhat surprising source: people over 50, who accounted for about 36 percent of all time spent watching YouTube on TV screens — more than the combined 28 percent for teenagers and adults 18-34. The media distributor rankings don’t include viewing on computers or mobile devices, which means the demographics Nielsen cited might not be fully representative of YouTube’s total usage across all devices.
