WHAT’S HAPPENING Trump asks Supreme Court to take up tariffs case, reverse ruling finding them illegal The Trump administration is taking the fight over tariffs to the Supreme Court, asking the justices to rule quickly that the president has the power to impose sweeping import taxes under federal law. In an appeal filed late Wednesday, the government called on the court to reverse an appeals court ruling that most of President Donald Trump’s tariffs were illegal under an emergency powers law. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit left the tariffs in place for now. The administration nevertheless called on the high court to intervene quickly, arguing the ruling is harming trade negotiations and international relations.

The White House said deploying the Guard to protect federal assets and assist law enforcement is within Trump’s authority as president.

Drugmaker Mindmed says it is conducting follow-up research in hopes of applying for Food and Drug Administration approval. The company’s work is part of a resurgence of interest in the medical potential of psychedelics. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and other Trump officials have suggested accelerating review of the drugs for veterans.
