By LINDSAY WHITEHURST and JOSH BOAK, Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — A federal court on Wednesday blocked President Donald Trump from imposing sweeping tariffs on imports under an emergency-powers law, swiftly throwing into doubt Trump’s signature set of economic policies that have rattled global financial markets, frustrated trade partners and raised broader fears about inflation intensifying and the economy slumping. The ruling from a three-judge panel at the New York-based U.S. Court of International Trade came after several lawsuits arguing Trump’s “Liberation Day” tariffs exceeded his authority and left the country’s trade policy dependent on his whims. Trump has repeatedly said the tariffs…

California’s Progressive political elite hate fossil fuels so much they are willing to impoverish their citizens to punish “Big Oil” and speed up a transition to an even more expensive green energy future. Governor Newsom wants zero gas-powered cars sold in California by 2035, which sends a strong signal to refiners about the long-term value of investment in the Golden State. The state makes permitting for refinery expansion or upgrades extraordinarily difficult and time-consuming for oil companies. On top of that, California has high labor costs and the highest corporate tax rate in the western states. Our electricity costs are…
HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — Former Connecticut Gov. John Rowland, whose promising political career was upended by a corruption scandal and two federal prison stints, has been pardoned by President Donald Trump. The Republican governor, who served from 1995 until 2004, was among a number of prominent figures the Republican president granted clemency Wednesday, including former New York Congressman Michael Grimm, also a Republican, and reality TV stars Julie and Todd Chrisley. A White House official confirmed the pardon but spoke only on background to discuss matters that have not yet been made public. In an email to the Hartford Courant,…
Now that we are a half a year removed from the November presidential election, bookstore shelves are full of missives explaining just exactly why President Donald Trump was selected by voters for another term in the White House, and why the Democratic ticket came up short. A lot of the blame is being laid at the bedroom-slippered feet of former President Joe Biden, whom the books allege lacked the stamina, energy, and mental acuity necessary to vigorously campaign for the highest office in the land. Plus, yeah, okay, there was the uncontrollable drooling. Look for these tomes in the “painfully…
By AMY TAXIN LOS ANGELES — The Trump administration has revoked permission for a 4-year-old Mexican girl who receives lifesaving medical care at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles to stay in the country, attorneys for the family said on Wednesday. Lawyer Gina Amato said the girl’s mother was notified the U.S. government was withdrawing the humanitarian parole the family received in 2023 when she brought her ailing child to the U.S.-Mexico border. She received the notifications in April and May and was told the family is subject to potential deportation, Amato said. Since then, the girl has made it out of…
Two recent books, Fight and Original Sin, explore the reasons behind the Democratic Party’s 2024 electoral defeat and document President Joe Biden’s mental and physical decline. Despite the insights provided by these revealing works, significant unanswered questions remain for both mainstream media and Democratic politicians. Why did they support a president who was incapacitated and, following a disastrous June 2024 debate performance, ultimately resigned from the 2024 campaign? How deep was the cover-up? It’s important to note that California politicians took the lead in this deception. Politicians in the Golden State vigorously promoted disinformation about Biden to mislead the public…

President Donald Trump has commuted the federal life sentence for infamous Chicago-born Gangster Disciples founder Larry Hoover, abruptly ending Hoover’s yearslong quest to win early release under the First Step Act passed during Trump’s first term. The two-page order said Hoover’s sentence was considered served “with no further fines, restitution, probation or other conditions,” and directed the U.S. Bureau of Prisons to release him “immediately,” according to a copy of the document provided by Hoover’s legal team. The controversial move — part of a slew of clemency actions announced by the White House this week — appeared to have already…
