The Supreme Court on Tuesday blocked an order for the Trump administration to return to work thousands of federal employees who were let go in mass firings aimed at dramatically downsizing the federal government. The justices acted in the administration’s emergency appeal of a ruling by a federal judge in California ordering that 16,000 probationary employees be reinstated while a lawsuit plays out because their firings didn’t follow federal law. The effect of the high court’s order will keep employees in six federal agencies on paid administrative leave for now. Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Ketanji Brown Jackson said they would have kept the judge’s order in place.

Hamas’ official media outlets have issued statements labeling Jewish religious activities on the Har Habayis as a desecration of the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound.
In a message shared via the group’s Telegram channel, Hamas reiterated that Islamic teachings consider the entire area of the Har Habayis to be “an indivisible component of the Al-Aqsa Mosque.” As such, “any Jewish presence or religious observance at the site”—particularly korbanos, or offerings—is viewed as a “profound breach of the sanctity of the location.”

Donald Trump has made good on his promise to impose “additional 50 percent tariffs” on Chinese imports starting Wednesday. According to a White House announcement, this move pushes the total U.S. tariff rate on Chinese goods to a staggering 104 percent, a level never seen before.
Trump had issued an ultimatum to China, demanding it reverse the 34 percent retaliatory tariff it had slapped on American exports within a 24-hour window. If Beijing didn’t comply, he warned, Chinese imports would face massive penalties. China defied the warning, and by day’s end, Trump followed through with his threat.

In the early days of the Great Depression, Rep. Willis Hawley, a Republican from Oregon, and Utah Republican Sen. Reed Smoot thought they had landed on a way to protect American farmers and manufacturers from foreign competition: tariffs. President Herbert Hoover signed the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act in 1930, even as many economists warned that the levies would prompt retaliatory tariffs from other countries, which is precisely what happened. The U.S. economy plunged deeper into a devastating financial crisis that it would not pull out of until World War II. Most historians look back on Smoot-Hawley as a mistake that made a bad economic climate much worse. But tariffs have a new champion in President Donald Trump. Like Trump, Hoover was elected largely because of his business acumen.
