The Supreme Court ruled Friday that President Trump does not have the authority to impose his sweeping tariffs — a major setback for his trade agenda. Studies have found that American businesses and consumers have borne most of the cost, and in California, ports, farms, businesses and workers have felt widespread effects. So what does this court ruling mean for the world's 4th largest economy? We look at how the tariffs have affected California businesses, and what's ahead as the President seeks to enact new tariffs in response.

This Day in Legal History: Hiram Rhodes RevelsOn February 25, 1870, Hiram Rhodes Revels was sworn in as the first African American to serve in the United States Senate. His election came during the turbulent Reconstruction era that followed the Civil War, a period defined by constitutional change and political uncertainty. Revels represented Mississippi, a former Confederate state that had only recently been readmitted to the Union. In a moment heavy with symbolism, he filled the Senate seat once held by Jefferson Davis, the former president of the Confederacy. The contrast between the two men reflected the profound transformation taking place in American law and government.Revels' swearing-in came after the ratification of the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments, which abolished slavery, guaranteed equal protection, and protected voting rights regardless of race. His presence in the Senate gave tangible meaning to those constitutional promises. Yet his path to office was not without challenge. Some senators argued that he did not meet the Constitution's nine-year citizenship requirement, claiming that the Supreme Court's decision in Dred Scott v. Sandford had denied Black Americans citizenship before the Civil War. Supporters countered that the 14th Amendment had settled the question of citizenship, making Revels eligible to serve. The Senate ultimately voted to seat him, affirming the legal force of the Reconstruction Amendments.Revels served only a brief term, but his impact was lasting. His election marked a rare window in American history when federal power was actively used to expand civil and political rights in the South. Although Reconstruction would eventually give way to decades of segregation and disenfranchisement, February 25, 1870 stands as a reminder of a constitutional moment when the nation attempted to redefine equality under the law.The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission released its first major update to its enforcement manual in eight years, outlining a new vision focused on fairness and transparency. SEC Chairman Paul Atkins described the revisions as overdue and said the agency will now review the manual annually. The updated 115-page guide provides clearer direction on how enforcement investigations will proceed and what options are available to individuals and companies under scrutiny.One key change involves the Wells process, which notifies potential defendants that SEC staff intend to recommend enforcement action. Under the revised policy, recipients of a Wells notice will have four weeks to submit a written response. After filing that response, they may request a meeting with senior leadership in the Division of Enforcement to argue against pursuing charges or to present their perspective on the case.Atkins has previously indicated that reforming the Wells process is a priority, emphasizing the need for accurate and carefully considered enforcement actions. Enforcement Division Director Meg Ryan also noted that a persuasive Wells response can influence whether commissioners ultimately approve a case. The manual further reinstates the ability of settling parties to request waivers from automatic industry bars that can follow enforcement actions. In addition, it introduces clearer guidance on how cooperation may reduce penalties and explains how the SEC may coordinate with criminal authorities. Overall, the agency says the revisions aim to clarify how it enforces federal securities laws and strengthen public confidence in the process.SEC Lays Out New Enforcement Vision In Revised Guidelines - Law360Paramount Skydance has submitted a revised proposal to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery, as a bidding battle with Netflix continues. The new offer follows the expiration of a seven-day waiver period under WBD's existing merger agreement with Netflix. For Paramount's deal to move forward, WBD's board must first determine that the revised bid qualifies as a “Company Superior Proposal” under the Netflix agreement. After that, a four-business-day match period would need to pass, the Netflix agreement would have to be terminated, and a new definitive agreement would need to be signed with Paramount.While the board reviews the updated proposal, Paramount said it will keep its tender offer in place and continue urging shareholders to reject what it calls the less favorable Netflix transaction. The rivalry between the bidders has spilled into public statements, with Paramount criticizing the structure of the Netflix deal as potentially reducing shareholder value. Netflix has pushed back, accusing Paramount of mischaracterizing regulatory issues and focusing on appearances rather than results.WBD confirmed it received the revised bid but reiterated that its current merger agreement with Netflix remains active and that the board still recommends the Netflix deal. Specific terms of Paramount's updated offer were not disclosed, though it recently added financial safeguards, regulatory commitments, and an offer to cover the breakup fee if WBD exits the Netflix agreement. Netflix's agreement to acquire WBD's studio and streaming operations is valued at about $82.7 billion, while Paramount's competing proposal to purchase the entire company is valued at roughly $108.4 billion.Paramount Revises WBD Offer As Netflix Bid War Goes On - Law360​​A federal judge has temporarily barred prosecutors from freely searching devices seized from a Washington Post reporter during a national security leak investigation. The FBI searched reporter Hannah Natanson's home in January and took electronic devices as part of a probe into the alleged disclosure of government secrets. Natanson, who has reported on President Donald Trump's efforts to dismiss large numbers of federal employees, has not been charged with any crime.U.S. Magistrate Judge William Porter ruled that the government may not conduct an unrestricted review of the seized materials. Instead, he said the court will oversee the examination of the devices to ensure that journalistic protections are respected while still allowing investigators to seek relevant evidence. Porter rejected the Justice Department's request to let prosecutors carry out a broad, unsupervised search.Justice Department attorneys had argued that reviewing the materials was essential to a criminal investigation involving national security concerns. They proposed using a separate FBI “filter team” to screen the data and remove irrelevant content before investigators accessed it. The judge's order reflects an effort to balance press freedom with the government's authority to pursue evidence in sensitive cases.US judge blocks search of Washington Post reporter's devices | ReutersA California woman is set to testify in Los Angeles that her early use of Instagram and YouTube harmed her mental health, in a closely watched trial against Meta and Google. The plaintiff, identified as Kaley G.M., says she began using YouTube at age six and Instagram at nine, and later struggled with depression and body dysmorphia. Her attorneys argue the companies deliberately designed their platforms to attract and retain young users despite being aware of potential psychological risks.The case is part of a broader international push to address the impact of social media on children, with some countries already imposing restrictions. Earlier phases of the trial focused on what the companies knew about the effects of their platforms on young users and how they targeted that demographic. Now the proceedings are turning to Kaley's personal experiences and whether the platforms substantially contributed to her mental health challenges.To succeed, her legal team must prove that the design or operation of the platforms was a significant factor in causing or worsening her condition. Meta has pointed to her history of family instability and alleged abuse as alternative explanations for her struggles. Her lawyer, however, referenced internal company research suggesting that teens facing difficult circumstances were more likely to use Instagram compulsively.The lawsuit also challenges features such as autoplay videos, endless scrolling, “like” buttons, and beauty filters, which the plaintiff claims encouraged prolonged use and distorted self-image. YouTube's defense argues that she did not fully use available safety tools and presented data indicating her recent average viewing time was relatively limited.Woman suing Meta, YouTube over social media addiction takes the stand at trial | Reuters This is a public episode.

Welcome to Episode 170 of Wrestling Tonight, powered by G FUEL and Dick Lazers. Use code TAVERN to save 20 percent at GFUEL.com and DickLazers.com. Acefield Retro and Chad return this week with a focused, comprehensive look at WWE Elimination Chamber: Chicago, and the broader business and legal context surrounding the event as WrestleMania 42 approaches. Elimination Chamber is not simply a February premium live event. The 2026 edition marks WWE's first televised event at the United Center since SummerSlam 1994, the first U.S.-based Elimination Chamber since 2021, and the final structural checkpoint before WrestleMania 42. With title implications and WrestleMania main event positioning attached to multiple matches, this show operates as a pivot point in WWE's calendar. We break down the full card in detail. The World Heavyweight Championship headlines in Chicago as CM Punk defends against Finn Bálor in Punk's hometown. What began as professional respect shifted into hostility after Bálor was excluded from the Royal Rumble match and responded with a direct assault on the champion. Despite reported hesitation from management within storyline, Bálor forced the issue and secured the title match. A Bálor victory would immediately reshape the WrestleMania 42 main event picture. The Women's Intercontinental Championship match between Becky Lynch and AJ Lee is built on competitive imbalance. Since returning, AJ has submitted Becky twice in non-title settings, creating a dynamic where the champion is defending not just a title but her standing within the division. This is less about opportunity and more about restoring hierarchy before WrestleMania season locks into place. Both Elimination Chamber matches will determine WrestleMania challengers. On the men's side, the field includes Drew McIntyre, LA Knight, Sami Zayn, Bron Breakker, and Damian Priest, with one final qualifying spot to be decided on the go-home edition of Raw. Historically, the Chamber has either elevated a rising star or reinforced an established main event presence. With a mix of veteran credibility and emerging power, WWE appears to be actively testing which direction serves WrestleMania best. The women's Chamber features Bayley, Bianca Belair, Liv Morgan, Jade Cargill, and Shayna Baszler, with one final entrant pending. Complicating the stakes is Rhea Ripley's pending WrestleMania decision as Royal Rumble winner. The eventual Chamber victor will not know their WrestleMania opponent until Ripley makes her choice, adding strategic uncertainty to the structure. Beyond the in-ring narrative, we examine WWE's reported restriction of public Elimination Chamber watch parties within the Chicago market. Multiple local venues were allegedly informed they could not host public viewing events. With ticket distribution reportedly below configuration and entry prices exceeding $260, the move appears connected to protecting live gate revenue. We discuss the business rationale, the optics in a historically strong WWE city, and the long-term implications for fan goodwill. We also address the week's most significant off-screen development. Janel Grant appeared publicly at a Connecticut Alliance to End Sexual Violence briefing, where she discussed the impact of non-disclosure agreements in workplace misconduct cases and referenced the NDA central to her lawsuit against WWE and Vince McMahon. Grant spoke about the mental health toll of being publicly identified, her SEC whistleblower status, and directed remarks toward TKO leadership. As WrestleMania season accelerates, we analyze the corporate, legal, and reputational implications for WWE and its parent company. Additionally, reports indicate uncertainty regarding Chris Jericho's AEW contract status, with speculation that his deal may be paused or frozen during his television absence. While AEW has not confirmed details, the timing raises legitimate questions about contract structure, injury clauses, and potential movement in 2026. Inside the Chamber, WrestleMania challengers will be determined. Outside the ring, issues of access, optics, and corporate accountability continue to shape the broader conversation. Episode 170 examines both dimensions with clarity and depth as WrestleMania season moves into its decisive phase. Listen now.      

What if the quiet nudge to travel alone isn't a whim, but a wise signal that your next chapter is ready to begin? Cheryl Esch, travel coach and host of Solo Travel Adventures, digs beneath packing lists to uncover five identity blocks that keep women 50 and older from saying yes to a trip their hearts already want. From caregiver guilt to the fear of what others might think, we unpack the stories that stall action and replace them with permission, practical steps, and a clearer sense of self.We start with the weight of responsibility so many women carry—children, partners, aging parents, or demanding work—and show how replenishment strengthens the very people you care for. Then we rewrite the definition of adventure: it doesn't need cliffs or chaos to count. A quiet coastal town, a museum day with no compromises, or a weekend cabin can be a profound reset when you travel on your own terms. Along the way, Cheryl challenges the myth that it's “too late,” spotlighting why women 50+ are uniquely equipped for solo travel and how the travel industry is increasingly designed with you in mind.We also tackle the social pressure that makes a solo trip feel like a statement. You'll get simple language to handle questions, plus grounded safety practices—daylight arrivals, vetted lodging, check-in routines—that anchor confidence. The most poignant thread explores identity beyond roles: after divorce, widowhood, an empty nest, or retirement, who are you without the titles? Solo travel becomes a thoughtful container for reflection, choice, and small brave acts that add up to a renewed sense of self.If something in this conversation stirred you, consider it your invitation to act.

Thursday, Feb. 19, Tazewell Circuit Court Judge Jack Hurley Jr. granted a restraining order sought by the Republican National Committee and the National Republican Congressional Committee along with Congressmen Ben Cline (VA-06) and Morgan Griffith (VA-09). The order prohibits any voting to take place before March 18.  In order to comply with Virginia law, voting of the April 21 deadline needed to begin on March 6.   The request for a restraining order is based on the contention that the Democrat majority in the General Assembly were ramming redistricting-related bills through the legislature.  Hurley ruled in favor of the plaintiffs because he found merit in the argument concerning the ballot question's language. The judge further sided with Republicans in ruling that the referendum violates the timing requirements set out in the state constitution.

In our news wrap Monday, a federal judge is permanently blocking the release of a report on President Trump's handling of classified documents after he left office in 2021, Trump is warning countries to stick with the tariff deals they agreed to and the Supreme Court will hear a bid by oil and gas companies to block lawsuits seeking to hold the industry liable for the effects of climate change.

AP Washington correspondent Sagar Meghani reports a federal judge has permanently barred the release of special counsel Jack Smith's probe into President Trump's hoarding of classified documents.

President Trump just signaled a major escalation: raising global tariffs from 10% to 15%—right after the Supreme Court moved to strike down his use of tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. Critics called it a defeat. Trump called the ruling “ridiculous.” And in this fast-moving, high-stakes interview, economist Christian Briggsbreaks down what's really happening behind the headlines—and why the market may have just revealed the real story.Briggs explains that the Supreme Court's decision isn't necessarily an anti-tariff ruling—it's a constitutional boundary marker. In other words: it's not “no tariffs,” it's “not that way.” He argues the Court is trying to preserve constitutional order by forcing tariff authority back toward Congress or tighter legal frameworks, while still leaving enough room for Trump to pivot immediately. That pivot, Briggs predicts, is coming fast—potentially within days—as Trump and his legal team roll out Plan B, designed to keep tariffs alive through a new method that fits within the Court's limits.Then Briggs gets into the economic impact—and this is where the interview gets real. He confirms tariffs have already driven measurable manufacturing behavior: international producers are shifting or expanding operations in the U.S. to avoid the tariff wall, while domestic manufacturing becomes more competitive. Jobs are beginning to return, and the economic “gravity” of supply chains is moving back toward America.But Briggs doesn't ignore the downside: consumers have already absorbed an estimated $150 billion in added costs from tariffs. The key question becomes: does short-term pain outweigh long-term gain? Briggs' answer is blunt—tariffs can sting, especially for the bottom half of earners, but he argues the real payoff comes when wages rise through high-value manufacturing jobs, turning short-term cost pressure into long-term prosperity. His forecast: if reshoring accelerates, the U.S. could see 4–5% GDP growth in 2027 driven by industrial expansion.The most surprising moment? Investors appeared to like the ruling. Markets bumped upward after the decision because traders interpreted it as clarity—not collapse. In Briggs' view, investors saw a scenario where tariffs continue, but with tighter legal guardrails, less uncertainty, and a clearer framework.Finally, Briggs addresses the political question: does this weaken Trump on the world stage? His answer: not even close.He argues Trump treats setbacks like business obstacles—simply one route that doesn't work, before finding the route that does. And that mindset, he says, makes Trump look stronger—not weaker—heading into the next round of negotiations.If you want the clearest breakdown of what this ruling means, what Trump's next move likely is, and why markets reacted the way they did—this is the episode to watch.

It works at the subconscious level where these beliefs were installed, often in childhood, when love felt conditional and your worth seemed dependent on performance, achievement, or being "good enough."   This clearing releases: The core belief that you're not enough as you are Programming that you need to earn love through performance or achievement Blocks to receiving love, compliments, and good things Shame and unworthiness around your authentic self The belief that your value depends on external validation Subconscious programming that you're "too much" or "not enough" Fear that if people really knew you, they'd see you're not worthy Patterns of self-abandonment and people-pleasing to feel valued Ancestral unworthiness passed down through generations The belief that self-love is selfish or narcissistic Comparison and "not as good as" programming Blocks to claiming your desires and taking up space   Perfect for you if: You give endlessly but struggle to receive You settle for relationships or situations that don't honor you You can see others' worth clearly but not your own You feel like an imposter when good things happen You apologize for existing, for your needs, for taking up space You know intellectually you're worthy but don't feel it You sabotage when things get too good because you don't believe you deserve them   How to use this clearing: Listen as often as feels right—daily, weekly, or whenever unworthiness surfaces. You don't need to do anything except receive. The clearing works whether you're actively listening or have it playing in the background.   As the blocks clear, you might notice yourself naturally setting better boundaries, choosing relationships that honor you, receiving compliments without deflecting, or simply feeling more at peace with who you are. These changes often happen without conscious effort—they're the natural result of the subconscious programming shifting.   Related clearings: Clear Relationship Patterns and Blocks: https://vibrationelevation.com/post/clear-relationship-patterns-blocks Release Fear of Intimacy and Vulnerability: https://vibrationelevation.com/post/release-fear-intimacy-vulnerability Release Subconscious Relationship Sabotage: https://vibrationelevation.com/post/release-relationship-sabotage Money Blocks and Unworthiness: https://vibrationelevation.com/post/money-blocks-unworthiness   Subscribe for new clearings every Saturday: [Subscribe button] Free 15-minute consultation: https://vibration.com/free Join our free monthly community: https://vibrationelevation.com Photo by Karolina Grabowska www.kaboompics.com: https://www.pexels.com/photo/composition-of-multicolored-hearts-on-beige-surface-4226791/   #EraserMethod #SelfLove #Worthiness #SubconsciousBlocks #EnergyClearing #SelfWorth #InnerHealing #YouAreEnough #HealingJourney #SpiritualGrowth #SelfAcceptance #UnconditionalLove Blog: https://vibrationelevation.com  Facebook: http://www.Facebook.com/vibrationelevationn Instagram: @vibrationelevationn Podcast https://vibrationelevation.com/podcast Tiktok https://tiktok.com/@vibrationelevationn   PRODUCTS AND COURSES  Playlists and Product Store: www.vibrationelevation.com/store

Jon Herold reacts live to the Supreme Court's ruling that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act does not authorize broad presidential tariffs. Surprised by the decision but not shaken, Jon walks through the Court's reasoning, the dissents from Justices Thomas, Alito, and Kavanaugh, and what the ruling actually changes. President Trump responds immediately in a fiery press conference, criticizing the Court, suggesting foreign influence, and announcing alternative tariff measures under other statutory authorities. Jon breaks down Trump's pivot to new tariff tools, the immediate 10 percent global tariff announcement, and the broader implications for trade, Congress, and executive power. From questions about refunding tariff revenue to claims of economic certainty and national security authority, this episode captures the political, legal, and economic stakes in real time — along with Jon's unfiltered commentary.

This Day in Legal History: Jacobson v. MassachusettsOn this day in legal history, the Supreme Court issued its decision in Jacobson v. Massachusetts (1905), a case that defined the balance between individual liberty and public health. The dispute arose during a smallpox outbreak when Massachusetts authorized local governments to require vaccinations. Henning Jacobson refused the vaccine, arguing that the mandate violated his personal liberty under the Constitution. The case presented a fundamental question: how far can the state go in protecting the health of its citizens?In a 7–2 decision, the Court upheld the compulsory vaccination law. The justices reasoned that individual freedoms are not absolute. Writing for the majority, the Court explained that the Constitution permits reasonable regulations to protect public health and safety. This authority stems from the state's “police power,” a broad power to enact laws for the welfare of the community. The Court emphasized that liberty does not include the right to act in a way that harms others. During an epidemic, the government may impose measures necessary to prevent disease from spreading.The decision established an enduring precedent for public health regulation. It has been cited in later cases involving quarantine laws, vaccine mandates, and emergency health orders. More than a century later, Jacobson remains central to debates about the limits of government authority in times of crisis.A federal judge in California sharply reduced a jury pool in a class action securities trial against Elon Musk after many potential jurors said they could not be impartial. Out of 92 candidates, 38 were dismissed after admitting they could not fairly judge the case, prompting Musk's attorney to argue that strong personal hostility toward his client was affecting the process. The lawsuit, brought by former Twitter investors, alleges that Musk made misleading statements in 2022 to depress the company's stock price while negotiating its purchase. Musk denies the allegations.Judge Charles R. Breyer reminded jurors that their verdict must be based only on evidence presented at trial, not personal opinions about Musk. Several prospective jurors expressed strong views, both positive and negative, and some were removed for cause. One man who said he believed Musk should be in prison but could be fair in a civil case was not selected. Others who openly supported Musk or dismissed class actions as frivolous were also excluded. By the end of the day, a nine-member jury was seated.The case centers on claims that Musk's tweets about the deal being “on hold” and about the percentage of fake accounts misled investors. The judge previously ruled that investors plausibly alleged securities law violations and certified a class of affected shareholders. He also denied early summary judgment motions, allowing the case to proceed to trial. The upcoming trial will determine whether Musk's public statements violated federal securities laws during the 2022 acquisition process.‘Hate' For Musk Quickly Narrows Jury Pool In Twitter Deal Trial - Law360Jeffrey Epstein's estate has agreed to pay up to $35 million to settle a class action lawsuit alleging that two of his longtime advisers helped facilitate his sex trafficking scheme. The proposed agreement was disclosed in a federal court filing in Manhattan and must still be approved by a judge. The lawsuit, filed in 2024, targeted Darren Indyke, Epstein's former personal lawyer, and Richard Kahn, his longtime accountant, who serve as co-executors of the estate.Attorneys for the victims claimed the two men assisted Epstein by managing a network of corporations and financial accounts that concealed his activities and enabled payments to victims and recruiters. As part of the settlement, neither Indyke nor Kahn admitted wrongdoing. Their attorney stated they were prepared to contest the claims at trial but chose to settle to bring closure and resolve remaining potential claims against the estate.The estate has already distributed substantial sums to victims. A compensation program previously paid out $121 million, and an additional $49 million has been resolved through other settlements. According to defense counsel, the new agreement will offer a confidential path to compensation for individuals who have not yet settled claims.Epstein died in a New York jail in 2019, and his death was ruled a suicide.Epstein estate agrees to $35 million settlement in victim class action | ReutersThe Trump administration announced plans to scale back federal limits on mercury and other hazardous air pollutants emitted by coal-fired power plants. Officials said easing these standards would help utilities manage costs and maintain reliable baseload electricity as power demand rises, particularly from artificial intelligence data centers. The move targets updates made during the Biden administration to the Mercury and Air Toxics Standards (MATS), which built on regulations first adopted in 2012.The Biden-era revisions would have significantly reduced allowable mercury emissions and cut releases of toxic metals such as arsenic, nickel, and lead. Supporters of those rules argued they would generate hundreds of millions of dollars in public health savings by lowering exposure to harmful pollutants. The Supreme Court previously declined to pause the updated standards while legal challenges proceeded.Environmental and public health advocates warn that weakening the rule could increase health risks, especially for children and other vulnerable populations, since mercury exposure can impair neurological development. The EPA, however, stated that the original 2012 rule already provides sufficient public health protection and that the newer requirements impose costs exceeding their benefits.The rollback aligns with broader administration efforts to support coal power, including declaring an energy emergency, granting temporary exemptions to dozens of coal plants, and revisiting prior climate-related regulatory findings. Coal plants currently produce less than one-fifth of U.S. electricity but remain significant sources of hazardous air pollution.Trump EPA to weaken rule limiting harmful mercury, air toxics from coal plants | ReutersA federal judge in California ruled that PepsiCo and its Frito-Lay division can block a proposed class action brought by convenience store owners alleging unfair pricing practices. The stores claimed the company favored large national retailers by offering them better wholesale prices, in violation of the Robinson-Patman Act, which prohibits certain forms of price discrimination. The lawsuit sought to represent thousands of independently owned California stores that said they lost significant sales as a result of the alleged practices.U.S. District Judge Mónica Ramírez Almadani determined that the plaintiffs failed to show that all proposed class members suffered the same type of injury, a key requirement for class certification under federal law. She explained that price discrimination claims typically require detailed, transaction-specific evidence, making broad class treatment difficult. The court agreed with the defendants' argument that resolving the claims would require individualized inquiries into each store's circumstances.Although the judge rejected the class action request, she did not dismiss the underlying lawsuit. Instead, she allowed the plaintiffs to revise and refile their class allegations. Attorneys for the convenience stores said they plan to amend the complaint to provide additional detail about how Frito-Lay allegedly disadvantaged smaller retailers.PepsiCo, Frito-Lay win US court order barring class action in snack pricing lawsuit | ReutersThe U.S. Supreme Court ruled 6–3 that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) does not authorize President Donald Trump to impose broad tariffs under a declared national emergency. In a majority opinion by Chief Justice John Roberts, the Court emphasized that the Constitution assigns the power to levy taxes and duties exclusively to Congress, not the executive branch. The case arose after President Trump declared national emergencies related to drug trafficking and trade deficits and then imposed sweeping tariffs on imports from numerous countries, including Canada, Mexico, and China.Small businesses and several states challenged the tariffs, arguing that IEEPA permits the president to “regulate” importation but does not explicitly authorize the imposition of duties. Lower courts agreed, and the Federal Circuit largely affirmed those rulings before the cases reached the Supreme Court. The majority concluded that the statutory term “regulate . . . importation” cannot be read to include the power to impose taxes, especially given Congress's consistent practice of clearly and specifically granting tariff authority in other statutes. The Court also relied on the “major questions” doctrine, reasoning that such sweeping economic authority requires clear congressional authorization, which IEEPA does not provide.The justices rejected arguments that emergency powers or foreign affairs concerns justified a broader interpretation. They noted that no prior president had used IEEPA to impose tariffs in its nearly 50-year history. As a result, the Court affirmed the Federal Circuit's decision invalidating the tariffs and directed dismissal of a related case for lack of jurisdiction.Justices Strike Down Trump's Emergency TariffsThis week's closing theme is by Louis Spohr.This week's closing theme features music by Spohr, a composer who stood at the crossroads between the Classical and early Romantic eras. Born in 1784, Spohr was a celebrated violinist, conductor, and teacher whose reputation in his lifetime rivaled many of his contemporaries. Though his name is less familiar today, he played an important role in shaping early nineteenth-century orchestral and chamber music. His style combines Classical clarity with the expressive warmth that would define the Romantic movement.Spohr wrote four clarinet concertos, each showcasing the instrument's growing technical and expressive range. The Clarinet Concerto in F minor reflects both virtuosity and lyricism, qualities that made the clarinet increasingly popular in concert halls of the time. The first movement, Allegro assai, opens with dramatic orchestral energy before introducing the soloist in sweeping, agile lines. The music balances precision with expressive phrasing, demanding both technical control and emotional depth from the performer.Throughout the movement, Spohr allows the clarinet to sing as much as it dazzles. Rapid passages are paired with moments of lyrical calm, highlighting the instrument's wide tonal palette. The dialogue between soloist and orchestra feels conversational rather than combative, giving the concerto an elegant cohesion. As our closing theme, this Allegro assai offers drive, color, and a glimpse into a composer once central to Europe's musical life.Without further ado, Louis Spohr's Clarinet Concerto in F minor, the first movement, the Allegro assai – enjoy!

Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke has blocked the immediate return of an Australian woman from Syria via a temporary exclusion order. It follows what the government is calling its no assistance policy for 34 citizens recently turned back by Syrian authorities. While the Prime Minister insists those who joined the IS Group must live with their choices, legal and human rights experts argue that abandoning children and coerced women in detention camps poses a greater long-term radicalisation risk than bringing them home to Australia.

Most B2B companies struggle to turn marketing into measurable pipeline. At B2B Better, we build owned media systems that sales teams actually use to close deals, shortening cycles, improving reply rates, and directly influencing revenue. If you're tired of content that looks good on paper but doesn't move the business forward, visit the links in the show notes to learn how we do it differently. If your best clients won't sign case studies because legal says no, this episode shows you exactly how to flip that dynamic. Host Jason Bradwell shares how he cracked this problem working in broadcast media tech, where sports properties refused to give free logo rights to vendors they were already paying. Jason's core point: legal teams don't fear telling the story, they fear losing control over how it's told. Traditional case studies feel like monumental approval chains with multiple drafts and stakeholder reviews. It's easier to just say no. Jason worked for a tech company serving major sports media properties. The opportunity seemed obvious: tell stories about household name clients. But sports rights holders get paid millions for sponsorship rights. Why would they give a tech vendor free permission to use their name for marketing? Most teams try tactics that don't work: anonymous case studies nobody believes, paying for logo rights, using old logos without permission, or giving up entirely and competing on price. Here's what changed. When Jason's team sat down with legal teams, they learned it wasn't fear of the story—it was fear of losing control and bandwidth nightmares. So they launched a podcast with a different value exchange. Instead of "come talk about how great we are," the pitch was "come talk about your work and how you see the industry evolving." Questions submitted in advance. Full approval. Nothing goes live without sign-off. A VP of digital from a major sports league who'd said no to every promotional request for years agreed almost immediately. When Jason asked why, the answer was clear: "For years you've been asking me to do things for you. But this time you asked me to do something for me." The unlock is simple. Traditional case studies ask for public endorsement with high risk and zero personal upside. Editorial podcasts offer a platform to showcase expertise, professionally produced content they can use, and full control. The acceptance rate jumps from 5% for case studies to 70% for editorial podcasts. Sales can share clips without requiring testimonials, and the credibility is more authentic because it doesn't feel like marketing.

Today's Headlines: Attorney General Pam Bondi's House Oversight testimony devolved into a chaotic shouting match, yielding few answers about the DOJ's handling of the Epstein files. Bondi repeatedly deflected, bizarrely citing stock market highs as a more appropriate topic, and accused Rep. Thomas Massie of having “Trump Derangement Syndrome.” The most notable takeaway: Bondi appeared to confirm the DOJ tracked which Epstein-related documents Democratic committee members reviewed, raising fresh concerns about internal surveillance. In Congress, six House Republicans joined Democrats to pass a resolution blocking Trump's Canada tariffs, which were imposed without congressional approval. The Senate passed a similar measure earlier, but Trump can veto it, and the Supreme Court—currently reviewing the tariffs—has yet to rule. Several quieter policy shifts drew scrutiny. The Institute of Museum and Library Services revised federal grant guidelines to prioritize “uplifting and positive” patriotic narratives aligned with Trump executive orders, signaling a shift away from apolitical, merit-based funding. In New York, the Pride flag was removed from the Stonewall National Monument following a federal ban on “non-agency” flags in national parks. Environmental rollbacks accelerated as the EPA moved to reverse its finding that greenhouse gases endanger public health, while the Federal Judicial Center removed climate science guidance from its judges' manual after political pressure.

This content was created in 2020. Beautiful soul, this week in the Rewrite Your Story series, Julie walks you step by step through how subconscious fears create energetic blockages and how to dissolve them by seeing your story through God's eyes. If you feel stuck, conflicted, or like you deeply want something but cannot move forward, this episode explains why. When two opposing beliefs exist at the same time, your energy cancels itself out. Rewriting your story restores momentum, clarity, and forward movement. This teaching focuses on releasing fear around intuition, angel communication, and self worth, and replacing those fears with truth, alignment, and divine permission. You are not blocked. You are holding two stories at once. This episode helps you choose the one that moves you forward.
