The Supreme Court just stripped legal status from roughly 350,000 Haitians and thousands of Syrians who came here the legal way — registered, passed background checks, paid their fees — and cleared the way to deport them to a country our own State Department says is too dangerous to visit. We break down the 6-3 ruling, Stephen Miller's reaction, and why even Republican governors like Mike DeWine are calling it a mistake.

The courts had a big day yesterday, and it did not go the administration's way. A George W. Bush appointee threw out the DOJ's grand jury subpoenas against Tim Walz, Jacob Frey, and other Minnesota officials, calling it a blatantly unlawful use of the grand-jury process. Hours later, a D.C. judge struck down the administration's expanded SAVE database after it flagged natural-born citizens as noncitizens and knocked some off the voter rolls.

ICE spent $700 million on empty warehouses to lock people up — and now it's trying to give them back. Trump's brand new intelligence chief has zero experience, asked to take classified files home, and the White House already told CNN he's there to do whatever Trump wants. Trump's own government found no evidence of a stolen election, and now the White House is sitting on the report. Plus, Trump spent the week telling reporters he's greater than Hitler, Stalin, and Napoleon, with help from a "presidential historian" who turned out to be a golf caddie. And four former presidents gathered in Chicago for the opening of the Obama Presidential Center, for a night that felt like the country a lot of us still believe in.

The US and Iran say they have a deal, and the war could be over by Friday — but the fine print tells a different story.
