A federal judge ripped into the Justice Department on Friday for failing to inform him of the applicability of a law intended to protect journalists from government searches and seizures when it asked him for permission to raid a Washington Post reporter’s home earlier this year. “How could you miss it? How could you think it doesn’t apply?” Magistrate Judge William Porter asked a DOJ lawyer during a hearing in Alexandria, Virginia. “I find it hard to believe that in any way this law did not apply,” Porter added later. The judge said during the hearing that he had declined…
New Secret Service protective detail agents are about to get a wardrobe upgrade, courtesy of taxpayers. The Secret Service will soon offer each agent who graduates from protective detail training two tailored suits, according to sources familiar with the matter and a public contract solicitation. The initiative to have the Secret Service purchase suits happened because Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem disliked how a protective detail was dressed in the suits they bought for themselves, two sources familiar with the matter told CNN. DHS spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin denied that account, telling CNN, “This does not have to do…

Donald Trump had been warning for months that a Supreme Court decision like this would be catastrophic. If the court curtailed his ability to impose these tariffs, he had said, it would be an “economic and national security disaster”. A six-justice majority of the Supreme Court, in ruling against the president on Friday, didn’t care much about his concerns.

And nothing in the law that the president based his tariffs on, the Emergency Economic Powers Act of 1977, delegated such sweeping powers to Trump. The court’s decision…

What dermal fillers actually do (in plain terms) At the simplest level,…
