Tuesday, May 27th, 2025 - Harvard lawsuit; Big bill’s hidden clause; Tel Aviv fire bomb plot; Tariff war back on; Qatar jet; Military parade & more
Today’s Headlines: Over Memorial Day weekend, a judge temporarily blocked the Trump administration’s move to bar Harvard from admitting international students, after the school sued over sweeping demands for protest-related records involving 7,000 students. Another judge struck down Trump’s executive order targeting the law firm Jenner & Block, citing constitutional violations. A lesser-known provision in Trump’s House-passed “Big Beautiful Bill” drew alarm for limiting courts’ ability to enforce their own rulings unless plaintiffs can afford to post financial bonds. In international news, a U.S.-German citizen was charged with attempting to firebomb a U.S. embassy office in Tel Aviv. He had posted threats online and left behind a backpack of Molotov cocktails. Trump briefly reignited a trade war Friday, threatening steep tariffs on EU goods and smartphones, before walking it back after weekend talks. The Treasury also announced it will stop circulating new pennies by 2026, saving $56 million a year. FEMA denied North Carolina’s request for $2 billion in hurricane cleanup funds. Meanwhile, the Pentagon accepted a Boeing 747 from Qatar to serve as a temporary Air Force One, and the Army will throw Trump a $90 million military parade for his 79th birthday.
