The judge determined that the defendants believed they were executing their constitutional right to seek redress. Following the ruling, Attorney General Dana Nessel expressed disappointment and said that she is considering an appeal.

The Supreme Court has agreed to expedite a case concerning President Trump’s authority to impose broad tariffs, with arguments scheduled for November. The case challenges the legality of these tariffs, which were implemented using the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA).

Handwriting expert Emma Bache has analyzed the signature on a birthday message to Jeffrey Epstein and concluded that it is “absolutely” Donald Trump’s signature from the early 2000s. Comparing the signature with others from the time, Bache found the formation, pressure, and strokes to be identical to the former president’s official signature. The files, released by the US Congress, originated from a book compiled by Ghislaine Maxwell for Epstein’s 50th birthday. While the White House has denied Trump’s involvement, Bache stated that forging the signature would be “almost impossible” due to its confidence and speed.

The Supreme Court has temporarily allowed President Trump to fire a Federal Trade Commission member, Rebecca Kelly Slaughter, despite a law meant to restrict the White House’s control over the agency. The court blocked a lower court’s ruling that reinstated Slaughter while the case continues, signaling the likelihood of granting the president broader firing authority. This action directly challenges a 1935 Supreme Court precedent limiting the president’s ability to remove FTC commissioners without cause, a restriction meant to protect the agency from political pressure. The Trump administration argues such restrictions unlawfully limit presidential power as defined by the Constitution.
