Kennedy Jr. doesn't want people to take medical advice from him""unless he is telling specific groups of people to stop getting vaccinated. The Health and Human Services secretary said in a video posted to X Tuesday that he was removing the COVID-19 vaccine from the recommendation list for children and healthy pregnant women. May 27, 2025 at 5:00 PM EDT In a rant posted Tuesday to his Truth Social account, President Donald Trump threatened to withhold federal funds from California if the state continues to allow transgender athletes to participate in events. Trump's demand came after California Gov. Gavin Newsom, a Democrat, expressed concerns about transgender people being allowed to freely compete. "California, under the leadership of Radical Left Democrat Gavin Newscum, continues to ILLEGALLY allow 'MEN TO PLAY IN WOMEN'S SPORTS,'" Trump wrote. "Please be hereby advised that large scale Federal Funding will be held back, maybe permanently, if the Executive Order on this subject matter is not adhered to. The Governor, himself, said it is 'UNFAIR.'" May 27, 2025 at 4:00 PM EDT President Donald Trump is retreating from a tariff threat""and bragging about it. Last Friday, Trump threatened to impose 50% tariffs against the European Union starting on June 1, claiming that the bloc of 27 nations "has been very difficult to deal with" and that talks "are going nowhere." But on Sunday, he backed off following a "very nice" discussion with Ursula von der Leyen, president of the European Commission. May 27, 2025 at 3:00 PM EDT President Donald Trump admitted that he goes easy on murderous Russian dictator Vladimir Putin, saying that if Trump wasn't in office Russia would be facing more consequences for the violent war the country is waging on Ukraine. "What Vladimir Putin doesn't realize is that if it weren't for me, lots of really bad things would have already happened to Russia, and I mean REALLY BAD," Trump wrote in a social media post on Tuesday. "He's playing with fire!" May 27, 2025 at 12:00 PM EDT National Public Radio sued President Donald Trump on Tuesday and accused him of trying to violate the organization's First Amendment right to free speech. The suit was jointly filed by NPR along with Colorado Public Radio, Aspen Public Radio, and KUTE, Inc., an owner of several public radio stations in Colorado and New Mexico. In the suit, the stations allege that Trump's May 1 order instructing the Corporation for Public Broadcasting to halt its funding of NPR and PBS stations is illegal. May 27, 2025 at 11:15 AM EDT President Donald Trump on Monday pardoned a corrupt Virginia sheriff who in March was sentenced to 10 years in prison for federal bribery charges. Former Culpepper Country Sheriff Scott Jenkins was convicted on, "one count of conspiracy, four counts of honest services fraud, and seven counts of bribery" after he accepted $75,000 in payments from people who wanted to become deputy sheriffs so that they could get out of speeding tickets. Jenkins made the men deputy sheriffs even though they "were not trained or vetted and did not render any legitimate services to the Sheriff's Office or the citizens of Culpepper County," the Department of Justice said in March after Jenkins was sentenced. May 27, 2025 at 10:30 AM EDT The Federal Trade Commission just opened an investigation into Media Matters, and surprise, surprise, it just happens to be "investigating" the exact same thing Elon Musk sued Media Matters over. And thanks to Donald Trump's illegal removal of the Democratic members of the FTC, you can expect a lot more of this. In November 2023, Musk sued Media Matters, alleging that it had somehow manufactured some white supremacist racist garbage posts to appear next to paid advertisements on X. Given that Musk's entire goal in purchasing Twitter was to turn it into a Nazi bar, this was patently absurd. It's a lawsuit that should have been tossed immediately, but Musk filed the case in the Northern District of Texas so that Judge Reed O'Connor could hear the case. May 27, 2025 at 9:30 AM EDT President Donald Trump is waging a war on your fridge""in more ways than one. And he's doing so with strong voter opposition. The Food and Drug Administration is reportedly drawing up plans to end most of its routine food safety inspections, shifting the onus of that critical oversight onto state and local officials. The FDA already outsources some of those inspections""but not all of them and not in every state. And it's not clear how those gaps would be filled if the Trump administration pulls the trigger. As of April, the FDA was disputing reports of the plan. May 27, 2025 at 9:00 AM EDT The Trump administration is using the claim that immigrants have "invaded" the country to justify possibly suspending habeas corpus, part of the constitutional right to due process. A faction of the far right has been building this case for years. By Molly Redden for ProPublica May 26, 2025 at 7:00 PM EDT Normally, by this point in the Supreme Court term, we're all acutely aware of the big cases that remain, steeling ourselves for the late June opinion drop so we can find out what rights we no longer have. Those big cases are all still there, still poised to wreck us, but this year things have been obscured by President Donald Trump's near-constant running to the highest court for emergency relief because lower courts keep ruling against him.
