Supreme Court allows Trump's mass layoffs at Education Department

The Trump administration in its early months has sought to aggressively reduce the size of some government agencies to the point of making them ineffective.

The Supreme Court today allowed the Trump administration to move ahead with plans to carry out mass layoffs at the Department of Education that were blocked by a federal judge.
President Donald Trump said the U.S. will send weapons to Ukraine through NATO, which will pay for and distribute them, and threatened secondary tariffs targeting Russia if a ceasefire deal isn't reached.
Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said that he doesn’t consider the 25-year high of measles cases in the U.S. a public health emergency.
The tariffs are set to start on Aug. 1 and could make everything from French cheese and Italian leather goods to German electronics and Spanish pharmaceuticals more expensive in the U.S.
