SCOTUS rules in favor of parents seeking to opt children out of reading LGBTQ books

Former President Trump praised a recent Supreme Court ruling that restricts the use of nationwide injunctions—legal orders that can block federal policies across the entire country. The decision specifically impacts challenges to his executive order aimed at ending birthright citizenship, making it harder for opponents to halt such policies with a single court ruling.

Editor’s Note: This ruling could reshape how legal battles over presidential policies play out. Nationwide injunctions have been a go-to tool for opponents of executive actions, allowing a single judge to freeze policies affecting millions. By limiting them, the Supreme Court is handing future administrations—especially those pushing controversial measures—a stronger legal shield. For Trump, it’s a win that bolsters his hardline immigration stance, but it also sets a precedent that could ripple far beyond his agenda.

At a NATO summit press conference, President Trump announced he’s cutting off trade talks with Canada—a move that could escalate tensions between the longtime allies. Meanwhile, he praised NATO members for increasing defense spending, a recurring theme of his foreign policy agenda.

Editor’s Note: Trade talks between the U.S. and Canada have been rocky for months, and this abrupt halt could mean higher costs for businesses and consumers on both sides of the border. It also signals a harder line from the Trump administration on trade, even with close partners. The NATO spending remarks, while positive for allies, feel overshadowed by the trade bombshell—something markets and policymakers will be watching closely.

Some European NATO members are reportedly hesitant to buy American weapons due to frustration with President Trump’s pressure tactics and his warming ties with Russia. The Bloomberg report suggests that allies feel strong-armed into spending more on U.S. arms while also questioning Washington’s reliability as a partner.

Editor’s Note: This isn’t just about arms deals—it’s a sign of growing strain in NATO. If European allies start looking elsewhere for weapons, it could weaken U.S. influence and reshape defense alliances at a time when tensions with Russia are already high. Trust is thinning, and that’s a problem for everyone involved.

MI6 is making it clear that its newly appointed chief, Blaise Metreweli, had no connection to her grandfather, who was allegedly a top Nazi informant during WWII. The agency emphasized that Metreweli never knew or met him, likely to preempt any controversy over her family history.
