Trump says 3rd term isn't a joke, despite term limit

A federal appeals court overruled Friday a lower court's order that blocked Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency from dismantling the U.S. Agency for International Development.

A panel of three judges on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit stayed a lower court's ruling, finding that the Trump administration is likely to prove that the DOGE's effort to dismantle USAID did not violate the Constitution.

"While defendants' role and actions related to USAID are not conventional, unconventional does not necessarily equal unconstitutional," Judge A. Marvin Quattlebaum Jr. wrote in a concurring opinion.

The Trump administration filed suit Thursday against the largest federal union that represents government employees in what it describes as an "affirmative" effort to invalidate collective bargaining contracts as President Donald Trump hopes to bolster his legal standing in laying off thousands of federal workers.

The lawsuit filed by the Justice Department on behalf of eight other government agencies argues that collective bargaining agreements with affiliates of the American Federation of Government Employees hinders the agencies' abilities to perform critical national security work.

It also comes as the administration has been frustrated by multiple court rulings that have reversed or halted its efforts to lay off broad swathes of government workers.

President Donald Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One that he is "open" to making deals with nations with regard to tariffs.

However, when asked whether any deal would come before the tariffs begin, Trump said no, adding that it would probably come afterward.

Trump also teased pharmaceutical tariffs but did not share what the rate would be or whether there would be carve-outs for lifesaving drugs.

A federal judge is blocking the dismantling of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, finding the Trump administration acted "completely in violation of law" when it attempted to shutter the organization.

Judge Amy Berman Jackson issued a preliminary injunction Friday afternoon that requires the Trump administration to reinstate any terminated CFPB employees, rescind any contracts that have been cancelled, allow the workforce to access their computers and return to the office, resume statutorily required work, and maintain any records held by the organization.

"If the defendants are not enjoined, they will eliminate the agency before the Court has the opportunity to decide whether the law permits them to do it, and as the defendants' own witness warned, the harm will be irreparable," Jackson wrote.
