The Supreme Court is considering whether President Trump overstepped his authority by imposing sweeping tariffs on imports from nearly every trading partner. The decision could have major consequences for the U.S. economy, as almost half of all imported goods are now subject to these tariffs. The justices appeared divided, with some conservatives joining liberals in questioning the president's powers under a 1977 law. The outcome may hinge on two conservative justices who expressed skepticism about delegating such broad authority to the executive branch.

Meanwhile, Democrats gained ground in recent elections by focusing on economic issues and the high cost of living, challenging the president's perceived advantage on the economy. In New York City, the election of Mayor Zohran Mamdani highlighted affordability as a key political issue. Elsewhere, millions of Americans face reduced or delayed food stamp benefits due to the ongoing government shutdown, which has reached a record duration.
