US Supreme Court clears way for Trump to pursue mass federal layoffs
The US Supreme Court on Tuesday cleared the way for President Donald Trump's administration to resume plans for mass government job firing and the sweeping downsizing of several federal agencies, a verdict which could lead to thousands of layoffs as critics warn it could also threaten critical government services. In a major victory for the US government, the Supreme Court on Tuesday lifted a lower court's order that had frozen sweeping federal layoffs known as 'reduction in force' which Trump had passed through an executive order in February, directing the agencies to prepare for mass layoffs. After Trump's order, the administration had come up with plans to reduce staff at the US Departments of Agriculture, Commerce, Health and Human Services, State, Treasury, Veterans Affairs and several other federal agencies. BREAKING: Supreme Court *allows* the Trump administration to implement large-scale layoffs across the federal government as litigation continues The order is 8-1, with Justice Jackson dissenting — Jacob Wheeler (@JWheelertv) July 8, 2025 The Supreme Court, in a brief unsigned order, stated that the Trump administration was 'likely to succeed' in its argument that the directives issued by the president were legally valid and well within his purview. The top court's verdict is the latest victory for the Trump administration which is making efforts to consolidate power in the executive branch. The US Supreme Court has sided with the Trump administration in multiple cases on an emergency expedited basis since the republican leader returned to power in January, including clearing the way for implementation of immigration policies. Earlier in May, San Francisco-based US District Judge Susan Illston had temporarily blocked the large-scale federal layoffs and ruled that President Trump exceeded his power in ordering the government downsizing without prior consultation with the Congress. The decision by the Supreme Court on Tuesday cleared a major obstacle for the White House which meant that the court wasn't assessing the legality of any specific layoff plans at federal agencies. White House spokesperson Harrison Fields welcomed the apex court's verdict and called it a 'definitive victory for the president and his administration'. (with inputs from Reuters)

Trump's previous tariff push terrified the world economy. He's betting this time is different
WASHINGTON: When President Donald Trump last rolled out tariffs this high, financial markets quaked, consumer confidence crashed and his popularity plunged. Only three months later, he's betting this time is different. In his new round of tariffs being announced this week, Trump is essentially tethering the entire world economy to his instinctual belief that import taxes will deliver factory jobs and stronger growth in the U.S., rather than the inflation and slowdown predicted by many economists. On Tuesday, he told his Cabinet that past presidents who hadn't aggressively deployed tariffs were "stupid." Ever the salesman, Trump added that it was "too time-consuming" to try to negotiate trade deals with the rest of the world, so it was just easier to send them letters, as he's doing this week, that list the tariff rates on their goods. The letters marked a change from his self-proclaimed April 2 "Liberation Day" event at the White House, where he had posterboards with the rates displayed, a choice that led to a brief market meltdown and the 90-day negotiating period with baseline 10% tariffs that will end Wednesday. Trump, instead, chose to send form letters with random capitalizations and punctuation and other formatting issues.
