On Friday, however, the Supreme Court ruled those actions unconstitutional. FOX News Chief Legal Correspondent Shannon Bream joins the Rundown to unpack the implications of the ruling—from the potential economic chaos of mandated tariff refunds to the decision's impact on the President's high-stakes meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping.

The Supreme Court has blocked President Trump's use of an emergency law to impose sweeping tariffs on most U.S. trading partners. In a 6-3 decision, the court argued that Trump's use of IEEPA to control tariffs would expand executive power at the expense of the other branches of government. President Trump blasted the court saying they must have been influenced by foreign powers. FOX's Tonya J. Powers speaks with Elaine Dezenski, Director and Head of the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies' Center on Economic and Financial Power, who says while this is a blow to the Trump Administration's economic policy, they have many other 'pathways to achieve their tariff strategy.'

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg took the stand this week in a landmark trial in which a 20-year-old woman alleges that social media companies intentionally designed their platforms to addict young users. Meanwhile, in England, the former Prince Andrew was arrested by British police amid allegations of misconduct in public office stemming from his links to convicted child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. “FOX News Sunday” anchor, FOX Chief Legal Correspondent, and host of the “Livin' the Bream” podcast Shannon Bream joins the Rundown to weigh in on these headlines, as well as Republican concerns regarding this year's midterms and the escalating tensions between the U.S. and Iran.  While nearly half of the country has legalized recreational marijuana and even more states have authorized its medical use, the federal government has long resisted lifting its restrictions. However, President Trump signed an executive order last year to expedite the process of reclassifying marijuana from a Schedule I drug—the same category as heroin—to a Schedule III substance, recognizing its potential for medical use. This shift comes as public pushback grows and new reports suggest the drug may be more harmful than previously believed. Board-certified radiologist and FOX News contributor Dr. Nicole Saphier joins the Rundown to weigh the risks of marijuana use and discuss its impact on users of all ages.  Plus, commentary by David Marcus, FOX News Digital columnist.

The world's biggest tech companies are facing their greatest legal and political challenges since their inception. Opening statements are expected to start early next week in a Los Angeles courtroom for what is being called a landmark social media trial. Meta and Google are being sued by a 19-year-old plaintiff, known as K.G.M., who alleges that Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and others are intentionally designed to be addictive. She claims the use of these platforms caused her profound harm—including anxiety, depression, and suicidal thoughts. TikTok and Snapchat were also sued but have since settled the claims against them. Google and Meta deny these allegations. They argue there is no connection between their technology and addiction. There is a lot at stake; this is just the first case that could eventually affect more than a thousand other claims. A class action involving approximately 1,600 plaintiffs with similar claims is pending. Meanwhile, in Washington, a bipartisan push is growing to reform Section 230 protections for Big Tech. The law currently shields social media companies from liability regarding user-generated content.
