Following the Supreme Court’s 6-3 ruling deeming his sweeping tariffs illegal, former President Donald Trump has strongly criticized the justices. He characterized the majority as “fools and ‘lapdogs'” swayed by foreign interests and a political movement. Despite two of the dissenting justices being his appointees, Trump expressed his belief that the court’s decision undermined his executive authority, stating he “can do anything” but was prohibited from imposing certain financial measures. The administration now faces the significant challenge of refunding $184 billion in collected tariffs, a move met with approval by some Republican senators and criticism from figures like Illinois Governor JB Pritzker.

JPMorgan Chase has now admitted, in a court filing, to closing former President Donald Trump’s and his businesses’ accounts in February 2021. This acknowledgment comes in response to Trump’s $5 billion lawsuit alleging political motivations behind the “debanking” following the Jan. 6th Capitol attack. The bank’s filing states that it informed the plaintiffs of account closures by its private and commercial banks, a detail previously unconfirmed in writing by JPMorgan, which had cited privacy laws for its reticence. This admission is a significant development in the legal battle, with Trump’s legal team calling it a “devastating concession” that validates his claims of unlawful debanking and financial harm.

Governor JB Pritzker is making a bold demand for tariff refunds from former President Donald Trump, asserting that Illinois families are owed a significant sum of money due to what the Supreme Court has deemed unconstitutional tariffs. This demand, amounting to an estimated $8.6 billion for Illinois alone, highlights not only a political rivalry but also the potential financial repercussions of the Trump administration’s trade policies. Pritzker’s forceful stance emphasizes the impact these tariffs had on various sectors, including agriculture, and suggests that the costs were ultimately borne by consumers, leading to higher grocery prices. The governor’s letter to Trump serves as an official notice, warning of further action if the compensation is not provided, underscoring a commitment to seeking restitution for the people of Illinois.… Continue reading

Despite asserting broad executive authority to ban or embargo foreign countries, Donald Trump was recently told by the court that this power does not extend to imposing tariffs. The ruling specifically addressed Trump’s “reciprocal tariffs” implemented in April 2025, which were enacted under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA). However, Chief Justice John Roberts concluded that the language of the IEEPA does not support the imposition of such fees.
