Trump reside updates: Trump rebuked by Supreme Court chief justice for name to question decide over deportation order

President Donald Trump on Monday claimed the chief judge of the federal trial court in the nation’s capital lacks the authority to review whether his administration’s attempt to bypass due process protections when deporting migrants who are alleged to be gang members and called for the judge to be impeached.

Andrew Feinberg and Gustaf Kilander report on the president’s latest angry outburst on social media.

The administration has reportedly canceled funding to an ongoing, three-decade study tracking patients with diabetes, despite the president’s campaign promise to “Make America Healthy Again” and fight chronic disease.

It sounds like there’s a classic power move in the offing from Vlad here, who appears minded to keep the president waiting to remind him who’s really in charge.

Astronauts Barry Wilmore and Sunita Williams started their 17-hour journey home on Tuesday after months marooned on the International Space Station.

A SpaceX Dragon spacecraft carrying them, and Crew 9 mission members Nick Hague and Aleksandr Gorbunov, undocked from the orbiting laboratory and began the trip to the Earth at 12.05am ET.

They are expected to splash down in the Gulf of America near the Florida coast later today.

Wasting no time in taking credit last night, Trump blamed Wilmore and Williams’ nine-month ordeal on Joe Biden and thanked Elon Musk for sending up the Dragon craft to get them.

The president is currently raging on Truth Social against the district court justice who has opposed his El Salvador deportation scheme, accusing him of political bias without evidence and calling for his impeachment.

Here’s what he has to say:

“This Radical Left Lunatic of a Judge, a troublemaker and agitator who was sadly appointed by Barack Hussein Obama, was not elected President – He didn’t WIN the popular VOTE (by a lot!), he didn’t WIN ALL SEVEN SWING STATES, he did WIN 2,750 to 525 Counties, HE DIDN’T WIN ANYTHING! I WON FOR MANY REASONS, IN AN OVERWHELMING MANDATE, BUT FIGHTING ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION MAY HAVE BEEN THE NUMBER ONE REASON FOR THIS HISTORIC VICTORY. I’m just doing what the VOTERS wanted me to do. This judge, like many of the Crooked Judges’ I am forced to appear before, should be IMPEACHED!!! WE DON’T WANT VICIOUS, VIOLENT, AND DEMENTED CRIMINALS, MANY OF THEM DERANGED MURDERERS, IN OUR COUNTRY. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!”

Mark Carney was at Downing Street yesterday where he warned that the president’s jibes were an impediment to fresh talks on a U.S.-Canada trade partnership.

“Canada’s strong,” he added. “We can stand up for ourselves.”

With the U.S. launching strikes against Houthi militants following a vow by the rebels to target American ships, the president is seeking to put renewed pressure on Iran for allegedly backing them.

In a Truth Social post yesterday, the president wrote that, going forward, his administration will consider Houthi acts of aggression against U.S. vessels, interests and allies to be carried out with the direction or support of Iran.

“Every shot fired by the Houthis will be looked upon, from this point forward, as being a shot fired from the weapons and leadership of IRAN, and IRAN will be held responsible, and suffer the consequences, and those consequences will be dire!” Trump wrote.

His post followed similar rhetoric leveled over the weekend but also signified an escalation as it marked the first time the U.S. threatened military retaliation against the Iranian government over actions taken by the Houthis.

Consumers joining a growing movement across Europe and Canada to boycott American products are saying it’s the only power at their disposal to fight back against Donald Trump’s trade war policies.

The terms “Boycott USA” and “Boycott America” have spiked in online search results in recent weeks since Trump announced new tariffs against other countries, according to Google Trends, with feeling running particularly strong, for obvious reasons, in Denmark, Canada and France.

The U.S. Institute of Peace says employees of Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) have entered its headquarters, despite protests from the nonprofit that it is not part of the executive branch and is instead an independent agency.

CEO George Moose reported the forced entry, stating: “DOGE has broken into our building.”

Police were present at the scene in Washington on Monday evening, which took place at the institute’s headquarters across the street from the State Department in the Foggy Bottom neighborhood of the city.

The DOGE workers gained access to the building after several unsuccessful attempts on Monday and after having been turned away on Friday, according to reports, but what they were doing or looking for is not immediately clear.

Also on DOGE, The L.A. Times reports that it is seeking to close nearly two dozen environmental offices in California, the organization is claiming to have deleted the names of 3.2m fictional people aged north of 120 from Social Security databases and Musk’s boast that his operatives work 120-hour weeks is being challenged in Fortune magaziner on the basis that they therefore can’t be getting enough sleep.

Further, here’s an interesting messaging note courtesy of Brian Kilmeade on Fox News, who appeared to be attempting to shift the responsibility for DOGE away from Musk and towards the mysterious Amy Gleason after the billionaire’s recent troubles.
