Trump administration cutting flights at 40 airports amid longest government shutdown in history: Live updates

Klobuchar attended arguments alongside Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and Trade Representative Jamieson Greer.

“I thought, first point, conservative justices, especially Justice Gorsuch, made it very clear that they believe it’s Congress that has the power to assess these tariffs,” Klobuchar pointed out on MSNBC’s Morning Joe.

Conservative justices, who generally support Trump’s agenda, appeared unsure if Trump had the legal authority to impose sweeping tariffs on nearly every one of the U.S.’s trading partners.

“So, it was actually quite fun to be there, quite fun to watch the faces of the Cabinet officials while you listened to these conservative justices ask these probing questions. So, maybe I can’t predict what the court’s going to do, but when I look at this, this thing is illegal, and they’re going to side with the lower courts, and they’re going to throw these tariffs out.”

Trump has been desperate to get this case in the hands of another set of judges to try to toss his conviction, even if that means going to the Supreme Court.

The appellate judges, however, didn’t make any decision on how the lower-court judge should decide what to do next.

“We simply direct the District Court to consider the motion anew in light of our opinion,” they wrote Thursday.

His team held arguments in front of the three-judge federal appellate panel this summer:

Trump took to Truth Social Thursday morning to assert he was making Thanksgiving dinner less expensive than last year and claimed Democrats were “lying” about making things more affordable.

The message appeared to be an attempt to refute gains that Democrats made with voters Tuesday, when many local elections resulted in wins for the liberal party. Several of the candidates, including Virginia Governor-elect Abigail Spanberger and New Jersey Governor-elect Mikie Sherrill, campaigned on lowering costs.

“2025 Thanksgiving dinner under Trump is 25% lower than 2024 Thanksgiving dinner under Biden, according to Walmart. My cost are lower than the Democrats on everything, especially oil and gas! So the Democrats “affordability” issue is DEAD! STOP LYING!!!” Trump wrote.

With Thanksgiving just weeks away, Trump claimed dinner is “25% lower than 2024,” according to Walmart. His information appeared to be based on Walmart’s annual holiday meal bundle being less expensive than last year’s, though it includes fewer sides and brand-name items.

California Rep. and Speaker Emiretus Nancy Pelosi announced Thursday she will not seek re-election in 2026, ending her four-decade stint as one of the most influential politicians.

It comes just days after California voters agreed to redraw congressional maps to hand Democrats more seats in the House – an effort to combat similar measure in Republican-led states.

“There has been no greater honor for me than to stand on the House floor and say, ‘I speak for the people of San Francisco,’” Pelosi said in the video.

President Donald Trump is expected to make an announcement at 11am ET related to weight-loss medications becoming more accessible to Americans through TrumpRx.

Later today, the president will participate in meetings and attend a dinner with Central Asian Countries.

Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson issued a stark warning to conservatives on Capitol Hill Wednesday in response to the previous evening’s eleciton wipeout.

The FBI is reportedly calling on ICE agents to “adequately identify themselves” when interacting with the public, following a string of violent criminals impersonating immigration agents.

“Due to the recent increase in ICE enforcement actions across the country, criminal actors are using ICE’s enhanced public profile and media coverage to their advantage to target vulnerable communities and commit criminal activity,” the agency allegedly wrote last month in a bulletin obtained by Property of the People, a watchdog group.

“This not only effects the victims and communities but also has broader negative consequences on law enforcement agencies.”

The memo, prepared by the FBI’s Office of Partner Engagement and New York Field Office, pointed to a series of concerning incidents carried out by individuals impersonating ICE.

A 57-year-old Florida resident is facing federal charges for allegedly threatening to assassinate various government officials who have sparred with Donald Trump, including New York State Attorney General Letitia James, former first son Hunter Biden and ex-FBI director James Comey.

Gregory Formicone made the threats in the comments section of The Gateway Pundit, a far-right website that traffics largely in conspiracy theories and election denialism, according to a probable cause affidavit reviewed by The Independent.

Trump’s former White House strategist is warning that the Democrat’s victory in the New York City mayoral election should set off “alarm bells” and “flashing red lights” about the growing influence of the Democratic Party’s populist base.

“What this kid got was 5,000 people canvassing in Brooklyn by going door-to-door, the Working Families Party and the Democratic Socialists of America,” Bannon said.

“People should understand they’re the rising power organizationally.”

The Georgia GOP congresswoman, until recently regarded as one of the key faces of Trump’s movement, has increasingly broken with her party on everything from healthcare to the Jeffrey Epstein files in recent weeks.
