The U.S. Supreme Court will review on Wednesday President Donald Trump’s decision to end the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) quasi-amnesty awarded to Haitian migrants by former President Joe Biden. The amnesty covers roughly 330,000 Haitians who either sneaked across the border or were allowed to enter despite their “inadmissible” status. Trump’s deputies say Congress’s law grants the President complete authority to award or end the TPS legal status, which grants work permits to migrants. One potential complication is that swing-voting Justice Amy Coney Barrett has adopted two children from Haiti. Pro-migration groups say the poor migrants need protection from their…

Tuesday on CNN’s “OutFront,” former White House special counsel Ty Cobb said the indictment on two felony charges related to an Instagram post by former FBI Director James Comey will be “thrown out.” Host Erin Burnett said, “Ty, you’ve read the whole indictment coming about a year after the initial post of those seashells. What’s your gut reaction?” Cobb said, “Yeah. It’s specious. It’ll be thrown out. It’s classic revenge. You know it’s a document that really isn’t worth anything other than the PR that the president is trying to get to intimidate Comey and others who might speak out…

What to check before you retiregettyRetirement is sometimes reduced to the question: “Do I have enough?” And while this is indeed important, it’s only a part of the story. Retirement is a transition, not the finish line. You shift from accumulation to distribution and management, with new risks that may have as much to do with how much you’ve saved as with how your system is structured. This is where many plans fall short. People focus too much on balances and overlook alignment. As you near retirement, reviewing key areas such as cash flow, withdrawal strategy, debt and tax exposure…

White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles launched an X account on Tuesday night to share occasional updates about the Trump administration’s work. Wiles, who has yet to choose a profile picture, racked up over a quarter of a million followers in the first 15 hours of the account’s existence. “I’m joining X to share occasional updates about the work we do at the White House.

Follow along for insights and information.” The move comes as White House…

Tuesday on CNN’s “The Lead,” network senior legal analyst Elie Honig said the indictment of two felony charges related to an Instagram post from former FBI Director James Comey was “deeply flawed.” Host Jake Tapper asked, “How valid are these charges?” Honig said, “This indictment is deeply flawed. I think it’s probably fatally flawed, and here’s why. The law that Justice Department prosecutors have chosen to charge here requires an intent to kill or physically injure the president of the United States. I think if you look at this communication, these seashells, it’s just way too ambiguous. What does 86 mean?…

The announcement came after committee Democrats said they would pursue contempt charges against Bondi after she failed to appear for an earlier deposition as part of Oversight’s investigation into Jeffrey Epstein and the Department of Justice’s handling of the federal inquiry into the late convicted sex offender. In a sign of Republican efforts to quickly preempt Democrats’ action, ranking member Robert Garcia of California was taken by surprise by the development during a news conference…

A poll released on Tuesday found that incumbent President of Brazil Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva would trail his top challenger, Senator Flavio Bolsonaro, by 0.3 percent in a runoff between them, without enough support in the first round of voting to prevent a runoff. The polling indicates that Brazil’s 2026 presidential election results could strongly resemble those of 2022, when Lula narrowly defeated the senator’s father, former President Jair Bolsonaro. Conservative Bolsonaro’s supporters decried that election as unfair, even if free, as the nation’s top electoral court frequently meddled in what journalists could report and barred the publication of…
