Podcasts about learning resources

I never thought I'd be glued to my screen watching the Supreme Court hand President Donald Trump a rare courtroom defeat, but here we are, listeners, on the heels of Christmas 2025. Just days ago, on December 23, the Justices in Washington, D.C., issued a sharp three-page unsigned order in Trump v. Illinois, rejecting the Trump administration's emergency plea to deploy the Illinois National Guard and Texas National Guard troops to Chicago. Picture this: Back on October 4, President Trump federalized 300 Illinois National Guard members to safeguard federal property amid reports of riots—protesters hurling tear gas canisters at officers, yanking off gas masks, even targeting them with bullhorns that could cause permanent hearing loss. The administration argued it was essential under federal law, citing unrefuted declarations of violence that local police in Chicago couldn't handle alone.But a federal judge in Chicago slapped down a temporary restraining order, and the Supreme Court let it stand. Justices Samuel Alito, Clarence Thomas, and Neil Gorsuch dissented fiercely—Alito's opinion called out the lower court for ignoring the facts, questioning why grand jury no-indictments for some rioters weren't enough to discredit the violence claims. Justice Brett Kavanaugh concurred separately, but the majority sided against the administration, marking a loss in the shadow docket frenzy that's defined Trump's second term. According to the Brennan Center's tracker, since January 20, 2025, the Court has ruled on 25 such emergency applications challenging Trump actions—20 at least partially in his favor, but this one, no dice. SCOTUSblog reported it straight: the deployment stays blocked while litigation drags on.This isn't isolated. Oral arguments wrapped up just last month on November 5 in Learning Resources v. Trump, consolidated with Trump v. VOS Selections before the Supreme Court. At stake? Whether the International Emergency Economic Powers Act lets President Trump slap trade tariffs during national emergencies he declares—and if so, does it unconstitutionally hand Congress's power to the executive? Dykema's legal alert calls it the term's biggest case, pitting presidential authority against separation-of-powers limits. Whispers from the bench suggest the Justices are skeptical, probing the delegation doctrine hard.Meanwhile, Trump's legal battles echo from his first term. In New York, Judge Juan Merchan's decision in People v. Donald J. Trump keeps sentencing on ice—pushed from July 2024 past the election to November 26 at Trump's own request, now stayed pending Supreme Court immunity fallout from Trump v. United States. Federal appeals upheld a jury's E. Jean Carroll verdict against him, with no reversal in sight. And the floodgates? Education policies sparked 71 lawsuits in 2025 alone, per Education Week, with Trump losing nearly 70 percent at lower courts. Immigration clashes rage on—from Noem v. Doe revoking parole for half a million from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela, to Alien Enemies Act deportations where the Court sometimes greenlights, sometimes blocks.It's a whirlwind, listeners—tariffs, troops, tariffs again—reminding us the courts are checking power like never before. As 2025 closes, Trump's docket tests every constitutional seam.Thank you for tuning in, and come back next week for more.

The US-China trade war has upended global manufacturing, forcing companies like Chicago-based Learning Resources to fundamentally change how and where its products are made, even as it challenges the tariffs in court. On today’s Big Take Asia podcast, K. Oanh Ha heads to India, where the toymaker has begun shifting production of its popular children’s toys.

Oanh Ha is joined by Rick Woldenberg, CEO of Learning Resources, and Bloomberg’s Lucille Liu, to talk about the impact of the trade war on US importers and Chinese manufacturers – and what it ultimately means for American consumers.

# Trump Court Cases Update: November 2025The legal landscape surrounding Donald Trump has remained extraordinarily active heading into the final month of 2025, with several significant developments unfolding in recent weeks that deserve your attention.The most immediate and consequential matter involves a case that just saw oral arguments before the Supreme Court on November fifth. Trump v. V.O.S. Selections, Inc., consolidated with Learning Resources, Inc. v. Trump, presents a fundamental question about presidential power. At the heart of this dispute is whether the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, or IEEPA, actually authorizes the president to impose tariffs. The Supreme Court expedited this case with remarkable speed, granting the petition for certiorari on September ninth and setting it for argument less than two months later. During those oral arguments on November fifth, the Solicitor General D. John Sauer represented federal parties, while attorneys Neal K. Katyal and Benjamin N. Gutman argued on behalf of private and state parties respectively.What makes this case particularly compelling is its timing and implications. The case originated in the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals and was elevated to the Supreme Court with an unusual motion to expedite. The Court allocated one full hour for oral argument and consolidated multiple related cases to address this single crucial question about executive authority. The briefs filed throughout September and October contained arguments from amicus curiae groups including Advancing American Freedom, as well as various state respondents who weighed in on the matter. No opinion has been issued from the Supreme Court as of late November, though such decisions typically take weeks or months following oral arguments.Meanwhile, another significant legal matter involving Trump relates to New York state criminal charges. According to court documents from the New York courts, Trump was convicted of thirty-four counts of falsifying business records with intent to defraud, which included intent to commit or conceal a conspiracy to promote a presidential election by unlawful means. Following his election victory in November 2024, Trump requested a stay of sentencing and eventual dismissal of the case. However, the court acknowledged that while Trump consented to and actually requested the adjournment that postponed sentencing after the election, the record makes clear the defendant's role in directing the case's timeline. The sentencing decision remains pending as we move through November 2025.Additionally, various litigation continues against the Trump administration itself, as reported through legal tracking organizations. A coalition of nonprofits and cities has sued the Trump administration over the suspension of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits for November 2025, representing yet another frontline legal battle involving the administration's policies and priorities.These cases represent the intersection of executive power, electoral politics, and administrative action that will likely shape legal precedent for years to come. The tariff case at the Supreme Court, in particular, carries enormous consequences for how future presidents may wield economic authority.Thank you so much for tuning in to this update on Trump administration litigation. Be sure to come back next week for more on how these cases develop and what they mean for American law and governance. This has been a Quiet Please production.

Aughie and Nia discuss the oral arguments before the US Supreme Court in consolidated cases Learning Resources, Inc v Trump and Trump v V.O.S. Selections. These cases argue that the Presidential imposition of tariffs is unconsitutional.

It's November 19th, 2025, and if you've been following the headlines, you know the name Donald Trump has been front and center—once again, dominating courtroom news across the nation. Just yesterday, the Supreme Court heard oral arguments in a pair of consolidated cases involving “Trump, President of the United States versus V.O.S. Selections, Inc.” and "Learning Resources, Inc. versus Trump, President of the United States.” According to the official Supreme Court November calendar, the energy in the courtroom was electric as the justices pressed both sides on issues ranging from executive authority to civil liberties. Legal analysts rushed out of the chamber, some shaking their heads, others feverishly texting updates as arguments wrapped up after more than an hour of fierce debate.While the Supreme Court scene drew the spotlight, several other federal courtrooms have been just as heated over the past few days. Polico and Lawfare have both highlighted the growing drama as an appeals court panel is considering a hefty million-dollar penalty against Trump for what they describe as a “frivolous lawsuit” targeting Hillary Clinton. One judge on the panel openly questioned Trump's legal strategy, asking pointedly whether his effort to revive the lawsuit was “bad faith” litigation. Analysts said the former president's moves in the courtroom seem as much about making headlines as about winning legal victories, and this latest run-in with an appeals court could make history if the million-dollar penalty is upheld.But that's far from the only legal battle roiling the Trump orbit. Just Security notes that a slew of ongoing lawsuits have tested the limits of Trump's executive power since he returned to office earlier this year. Most notably, litigation over his controversial executive orders targeting prominent law firms—orders that called for curtailing their government contracts and suspending employees' security clearances—has drawn intense scrutiny from judges and civil rights advocates. A federal court in Washington is still weighing whether to permanently block these orders, and legal experts say the final ruling could have far-reaching implications for the separation of powers and for how presidents can respond to perceived political enemies.On the civil rights front, court challenges continue to mount against Trump's bans affecting healthcare for transgender youth and restrictions on “gender ideology” in federal programs. The Commonwealth of Massachusetts and advocacy groups like PFLAG are suing the Trump administration in what they call a fight for constitutional rights. With temporary injunctions in place and permanent rulings pending, the nation is watching closely to see how these legal battles play out—and what precedents they will set for years to come.All the while, outside the courthouses, protestors and supporters vie for attention, their voices echoing through the marble corridors and onto the evening news.Thanks for tuning in to this week's update on the unfolding Trump court dramas.

We're digging deep this week at the Armchair Attorney® Podcast as we dive into two Supreme Court cases. The first case is Learning Resources, Inc. v Trump. At issue is whether IEEPA authorizes the use of tariffs, and if it does, did Congress unconstitutionally delegate that power to the President? Oral arguments were last week, we'll discuss! The next case is Montgomery v. Caribe Transport II, LLC, which will determine whether federal law preempts state-law claims against freight brokers for negligently selecting a motor carrier. Broker liability! This case is significant because different federal circuits have had conflicting rulings on the issue, and the Supreme Court's decision is expected to create a unified standard for all brokers nationwide.This program is brought to you by DAT Freight & Analytics.

The economy, trillions of dollars, and consequences unknown are on the line in the tarrifs case, Learning Resources v. Trump.  We present the justices and the advocates in their own voices from the oral argument, and Akhil reacts in real time as he hears the clips for the first time.  It's a three hour argument, so this is the first of a two-parter.  The Court's recent doctrines, including major questions and non-delegation are in play, perhaps, and therefore many are watching this case closely for consistency vs politics in the Court itself.  And of course there's history and constitutional issues at stake, so we are right at home.  Join us!

On this episode: The Supreme Court is considering a major separation-of-powers case that could redefine the limits of presidential authority during national emergencies, and help define what exactly constitutes a national emergency. Learning Resources v. Trump challenges President Trump's use of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) to impose sweeping tariffs on nearly every U.S. trading partner — tariffs justified largely by declaring a series of national emergencies.At issue is whether the law gives the president the power to impose tariffs without explicit congressional approval, and how far courts can go in reviewing those emergency declarations. Elizabeth ‘Liza' Goitein, senior director of the Brennan Center's Liberty and National Security Program, explains the oral arguments made on November 5th, how their eventual decision could affect Trump's signature policy and future presidents, and what the ruling might mean for the balance of power between Congress and the Executive Branch.Learn more about the case: https://ballotpedia.org/Learning_Resources,_Inc._v._Trump Read Liza's analysis: https://www.brennancenter.org/our-work/analysis-opinion/whats-stake-supreme-court-tariffs-case Complete a brief 5 minute survey to review the show and share some feedback: https://forms.gle/zPxYSog5civyvEKX6 Sign up for our Newsletters: https://ballotpedia.org/Ballotpedia_Email_Updates Stream "On the Ballot" on Spotify or wherever you listen to podcasts.

Full audio of the Supreme Court oral argument in Learning Resources, Inc. v. Trump (No. 24-1287), argued November 5, 2025. This high-stakes case tests whether the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) authorizes President Trump's use of national emergency declarations to impose broad import tariffs—and, if so, whether that sweeping authority is an unconstitutional delegation of Congress's taxing power. The Justices press both sides on statutory text, separation of powers, and the limits of executive economic "emergency" authority in a case with massive implications for trade, small businesses, and presidential power.

The Republican-appointed Supreme Court justices have been treating the Trump administration with such extreme deference that we were honestly a little flummoxed listening to this week's arguments over his “Liberation Day” tariffs. Shockingly, during Wednesday's arguments in Learning Resources v. Trump and Trump v. V.O.S. Selections, it seemed like the justices were in fact, concerned with presidential overreach. But was this a true bridge-too-far-moment, or were they more concerned about their own pocketbooks? This week, Dahlia Lithwick and Mark Joseph Stern discussed the arguments with Marc Busch, the Karl F. Landegger Professor of International Business Diplomacy at the Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service at Georgetown University. Busch is an expert on international trade policy and law, and signed onto an amicus brief on behalf of trade scholars explaining the history and context of IEEPA.  Want more Amicus?

OA1205 - It's another good news Friday! Voting rights expert Jenessa runs down some of the highlights of the off-year blue sweep in this week's elections, as well as some recent unsung national victories for voting and disability rights. Matt then checks in on the Supreme Court's oral arguments from the challenge to Trump's unprecedented tariffs and why it is looking like he might actually lose his administration's first attempt to defend one of his second administration's policies on the merits.  Finally, in today's footnote: Why a federal judge recently decided that a lawsuit brought by the man whose penis was once featured on the cover of the most important albums of 1990s smelled like summary judgment.  Supreme Court oral arguments in Learning Resources, Inc  v.

On Wednesday, the Supreme Court heard oral arguments in the consolidated cases of Learning Resources, Inc. v. Trump and Trump v. V.O.S. Selections, Inc., both of which challenged some of the president's authority to unilaterally issue foreign duties. Trump has justified his broad “reciprocal tariffs” on U.S trading partners by declaring a national emergency under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), which prompted the legal challenges. The court's decision could set the precedent for presidential authority over trade and the use of emergency powers.Ad-free podcasts are here!To listen to this podcast ad-free, and to enjoy our subscriber only premium content, go to ReadTangle.com to sign up!You can read today's podcast⁠ ⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠, our “Under the Radar” story ⁠here and today's “Have a nice day” story ⁠here⁠.You can subscribe to Tangle by clicking here or drop something in our tip jar by clicking here.

The American nation faces a legal question of existential dimensions tomorrow in oral argument before the US Supreme Court on the scope of the power of the President to exercise emergency tariff powers as delegated to him by Congress.The oral argument combines two separate cases that have been working their way through the inferior federal courts:  Learning Resources, Inc. v. Trump (24-1287), Trump v. V.O.S. Selections (25A327).Will the Supreme Court rule, correctly, that the democratically elected Article II Executive Branch President Donald J. Trump, to whom the Article I Congress has delegated emergency tariff powers, has the authority to leverage those tariffs to address and mitigate the nation's trade and other international emergencies?  Or will a series of unelected, black-robed, tyrannical, inferior, district trial court judges, happily acceding to the political will of the anti-American Progressive Fascists win in their feckless argument that American commerce must instead be subject to manipulation and exploitation by scores of foreign and hostile nations?

Learning Resources, Inc. v. Trump, President of U.S. | 11/05/25 | Docket #: 24-1287 24-1287 LEARNING RESOURCES, INC. V. TRUMP DECISION BELOW: THE PETITION FOR A WRIT OF CERTIORARI BEFORE JUDGMENT IS GRANTED. CONSOLIDATED WITH 25-250 FOR ONE HOUR ORAL ARGUMENT. EXPEDITED BRIEFING. THE CASES WILL BE SET FOR ARGUMENT IN THE FIRST WEEK OF THE NOVEMBER 2025 ARGUMENT SESSION.       CERT. GRANTED 9/9/2025 QUESTION PRESENTED: The International Emergency Economic Powers Act, 50 U.S.C. § 1701 et seq. ("IEEPA") permits the President, upon a valid emergency declaration, to "investigate, block during the pendency of an investigation, regulate, direct and compel, nullify, void, prevent or prohibit, any acquisition, holding, withholding, use, transfer, withdrawal, transportation, importation or exportation of, or dealing in, or exercising any right, power, or privilege with respect to, or transactions involving, any property in which any foreign country or a national thereof has any interest[.]" Id. § l 702(a)(1)(B). Until now, no President in IEEPA's nearly 50-year history has ever invoked it to impose tariffs-let alone the sweeping worldwide tariffs imposed pursuant to the executive orders challenged here. The question presented is: Whether IEEPA authorizes the President to impose tariffs. LOWER COURT CASE NUMBER: 25-5202

Desde la llegada de Donald Trump al poder, los aranceles impuestos por su administración han generado un profundo impacto en la economía global, afectando tanto a gobiernos como a empresas de distintos tamaños. Para muchas corporaciones, adaptarse a las nuevas tarifas comerciales ha representado uno de los mayores desafíos del año 2025. En un inicio, la incertidumbre giraba en torno a cómo reaccionarían las grandes compañías estadounidenses ante estas medidas. Sin embargo, gigantes tecnológicos como Nvidia, Google o Meta optaron por incrementar sus inversiones dentro del país, trasladando parte de su producción desde el extranjero hacia territorio norteamericano para esquivar los costos adicionales derivados de los aranceles. A pesar de que la atención mediática se ha centrado en las estrategias de las grandes corporaciones, el impacto real se ha sentido con mayor crudeza en las pequeñas y medianas empresas. Estas compañías carecen de los recursos financieros necesarios para adaptarse con rapidez a los cambios impuestos por la política comercial de Trump. Un ejemplo claro es el de Learning Resources, una empresa familiar dedicada a la fabricación de juguetes educativos. Su director ejecutivo, Rick Woldenberg, ha llevado su caso ante la justicia, denunciando los perjuicios económicos que los aranceles han provocado en su negocio. Junto con el bufete Akin Gump, Woldenberg asistió a las audiencias del Tribunal Supremo, donde los jueces comenzaron a cuestionar la legitimidad del uso de la Ley de Poderes Económicos de Emergencia Internacional para justificar estas medidas. El reclamo principal de Woldenberg es sencillo: exige que el gobierno le devuelva el dinero perdido a causa de los gravámenes. Aunque algunos magistrados mostraron una postura crítica hacia el alcance de la autoridad presidencial en materia comercial, cualquier cambio legal tomará tiempo en concretarse. Mientras tanto, cientos de empresas pequeñas continúan luchando por sobrevivir ante la presión económica. A diferencia de las grandes multinacionales, carecen de la liquidez necesaria para trasladar su producción o absorber los costos adicionales. Otro caso emblemático es el de Micro Kits, una empresa que fabrica juguetes y sintetizadores educativos. Su fundador, David Levi, también presentó una demanda, argumentando que su compañía depende de los chips importados desde China. Cuando en primavera los aranceles sobre estos componentes superaron el 100%, se vio obligado a suspender las importaciones, afectando gravemente su producción. Historias como la suya reflejan la incertidumbre que enfrentan miles de pequeñas empresas familiares, que ahora temen que las políticas arancelarias de Trump puedan marcar el comienzo de su fin.

It's been quite a week watching the unfolding drama in our nation's courts, as the spotlight turns squarely on Donald Trump and the tsunami of litigation swirling around him. I'm here to walk you through what's happened—rapid fire—so let's jump right into the heart of the courtroom battles gripping the country.Washington D.C. has become the epicenter for Trump's most recent legal showdowns. Major cases have been dragging executive actions from his administration into the harsh glow of judicial scrutiny. The National Association of the Deaf, for example, is in the thick of a civil liberties battle. They've sued Trump alongside White House staff Susan Wiles and Karoline Leavitt, arguing that the administration's decision to halt ASL interpretation at official briefings violates not only the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 but the core tenets of the First and Fifth Amendments. This case highlights not just accessibility, but the larger question of equal protection and freedom of information. The deaf and hard of hearing community is demanding that the government reinstate these vital services or face judicial intervention.Meanwhile, Executive Order 14248 has triggered another storm of litigation over election law. The Democratic National Committee, the League of United Latin American Citizens, and the states of Washington and Oregon have challenged sweeping changes that require documentary proof of citizenship for voter registration, freeze federal funds to noncompliant states, and reassess voting systems across the country. Judge Kollar-Kotelly denied a motion by Trump's team to strike the case, signaling that the courts are taking these challenges seriously as they weigh the balance between election integrity and civil rights. The stakes are sky-high as the nation looks ahead to November.But the drama extends all the way to the Supreme Court. As the new term kicked off last week, the justices are staring down monumental cases that could redefine presidential power itself. The most contentious? Trump v. V.O.S. Selections and Learning Resources, Inc. v. Trump, which thrust the issue of massive tariffs right onto the Supreme Court's docket. The lower courts have said Trump exceeded his authority under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, but Trump maintains that his ability to “regulate” foreign imports implicitly includes imposing tariffs. Legal analysts, like Deepak Gupta, are calling it a once-in-a-century test—a battle that could fundamentally alter how much power the presidency wields.Behind the scenes, litigation trackers from Lawfare and Just Security have been working overtime, cataloging dozens of actions challenging Trump's sweeping executive orders. From restoring the death penalty to accessibility and election rules, each case chips away at—or tries to reinforce—the boundary between presidential power and constitutional rights.It's clear that the coming days, and indeed the next several months, will see Trump's legal fate played out not just in headlines but in courtroom arguments and rulings with profound national impact. The questions swirling in America's courts aren't just about Donald Trump—they're about what the presidency itself should be.Thanks for tuning in, and be sure to come back next week for more of the latest updates.

And I think we need that so bad right now... when you say I'm a witch, it says, I'm not gonna let somebody just walk over me anymore." - Jennifer Doman On Playing Small "You're playing small. Stop it... why do I play small to fit in? I never fit in... I'm not gonna fit in." - Terri Ann Heiman On Spiritual Awakening "There is a spiritual responsibility to our souls, to ourself, to upgrade our energy and recognize a vibration with which we work with every single day." - Terry Ann Hyman Actionable Takeaways For Tarot Beginners 1.Choose Your Deck Mindfully: Select a tarot deck based on artwork that genuinely resonates with you, not just popularity or recommendations 2.Start with Rider-Waite-Smith: Begin your learning journey with a Rider-Waite-Smith based deck for clear, descriptive imagery 3.Practice Self-Reading: Use your tarot deck like a book for self-reflection, asking "What does this card represent in myself right now?" 4.Be Patient with Learning: Expect a learning curve of several months to feel comfortable with your deck   For Spiritual Practice 1.Focus on Energy, Not Prediction: Use tarot for understanding current energy patterns rather than trying to predict the future 2.Try Chakra Spreads: Experiment with seven-card chakra spreads to understand energy blocks and healing needs 3.Combine Modalities: Integrate tarot with other healing practices like Reiki, crystal work, or meditation 4.Trust Your Intuition: Pay attention to intuitive hits and messages, even if they seem unusual or unexpected   For Personal Empowerment 1.Stop Playing Small: Embrace your authentic spiritual path without shrinking to fit others' expectations 2.Create Sacred Space: Establish environments where spiritual exploration and healing can occur safely 3.Support Spiritual Community: Seek out and support local metaphysical businesses and practitioners 4.Embrace Your Archetype: Understand and embody the spiritual archetypes that resonate with your authentic self   For Parents and Caregivers 1.Observe Crystal Connections: Notice if children, especially neurodivergent children, are drawn to specific crystals or spiritual tools 2.Explore Alternative Communication: Consider that nonverbal individuals may have enhanced telepathic or intuitive abilities 3.Lower Your Energy: Practice calming techniques to create space for subtle spiritual communication   Resources and Links Ritual and Shelter •Website: ritualshelter.com •Instagram: @ritualshelter_shop •Pinterest: Ritual Plus Shelter •Location: Homewood, Alabama •Services: Tarot sessions, Reiki, Sound Bowl healing, Crystal healing, Witch consultations   Tarot Decks Mentioned •Pagan of the World's Tarot - Jennifer's first deck •Rider-Waite-Smith Tarot - Recommended for beginners •Dreaming Moon Tarot - Australian artist, beautiful Rider-Waite-Smith variation •Somnia Tarot by Nicholas Bruno - Based on sleep paralysis dreams, Jennifer's current favorite •Wild Unknown Tarot by Kim Krans - Mentioned for artistic evolution •Empowered Spirit Deck by Terri Ann Heiman - Host's tarot deck   Books and Learning Resources •"78 Degrees of Wisdom" - Recommended tarot learning book •Terri Ann Heiman's Tarot Course - Mentioned as a valuable learning resource •Telepathy Tapes Podcast - Referenced for autism and telepathy research   Host's Offerings •5-Day Summer Bootcamp for Emotional Eating (July 22-26) •Focus on Gap tapping™ technique •Addresses cravings, binging, body image, and "fat talk" •VIP option available for deeper one-on-one work •Gap Tapping Technique - Method for bridging the gap between where you are and where you want to be   Spiritual and Healing Modalities Discussed •Reiki Healing - Energy healing for pain and trauma •Crystal Healing - Using crystals for energetic support •Sound Bowl Healing - Vibrational healing therapy •Chakra Balancing - Seven-energy-center healing approach •Intuitive Healing - Psychic and empathic healing methods   Current Astrological Context (as of recording) •Full Moon in Capricorn - Recently passed, supporting grounding and growth •Mercury Retrograde - July 17th through August, in Cancer and Leo •Potential for emotional reflection and relationship changes •Mindfulness is needed for travel, communication, and technology
