KYIV—After another long night of thundering bombardment, the people of Kyiv are exhausted, shaky, and seething with anger. “We look at one another, clench our fists, and growl,” said Juliia Turba of the Snake Island Institute, a think tank based in Kyiv. “Then we get back to work.” Bakers go to bakeries, hair stylists go to salons, and analysts go to think tanks. Rush-hour traffic on the Pivdennyi Bridge is as maddeningly slow as ever.

Learning Resources reaffirms that taxation is Congress’s responsibility, and declaring “emergency!” does not rewrite the separation of powers. The Supreme Court’s decision in Learning Resources v. Trump will have immediate political effects, substantial economic effects, and more subtle but long-run effects on the shape of the law. Doctrinally, its significance may seem limited because the opinions fracture on nearly everything beyond a single issue under a specific statute—the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA). Six members of the Court agreed only that IEEPA does not authorize the president to impose tariffs. Even on that conclusion, however, the justices split into…

NEW YORK – A departing bomb cyclone lashed the Northeast coast with hurricane-force wind gusts, set all-time snowfall records and is already being dubbed “The Blizzard of 2026” as it becomes the benchmark for several communities across…
President Donald Trump has said he delivered on all he returned to office to do, already. “I’ve kept all my promises, and much more,” he told a Detroit audience in January. Trump reeled off a list: The truth? Trump fulfilled a decent chunk of his domestic agenda in his first year — enforcing hardline immigration policies, withdrawing from international organizations and signing a Republican-backed tax and spending law, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. Many promises remain undelivered. PolitiFact is tracking 75 of Trump’s second-term campaign promises on our MAGA-Meter. Nearly one-third of promises have stalled from inaction in Congress,…
