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.

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…

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?…

Former Attorney General Pam Bondi will appear May 29 for a deposition before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, a panel spokesperson said Wednesday. 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…

Orders for core business equipment posted their largest monthly increase since the summer of 2020, the Commerce Department reported Wednesday, driven by surging demand for computers and electronic products as companies continue to pour money into artificial intelligence. The value of orders for nondefense capital goods excluding aircraft — the closely watched proxy for business spending on equipment — jumped 3.3 percent in March, far exceeding the 0.5 percent gain economists had forecast. February’s figure was revised sharply higher, to a 1.6 percent advance from the initially reported 0.6 percent, meaning businesses have now ramped up capital spending in back-to-back…

Tuesday on MS NOW’s “Deadline,” Gov. JB Pritzker (D-IL) said President Donald Trump’s immigration enforcement is turning the United States of America into a “banana republic.” Pritzker said, “I’m so proud of the people of Illinois who really wrote the playbook. They’re the ones who went out and bought whistles and people in neighborhoods all across the state, because it wasn’t just Chicago. They attacked all across the state. People came out of their homes when they saw these unmarked vehicles, these masked men jumping out of cars, attacking people. He added, “They didn’t even know if they were U.S. citizens…
