SCOTUS allows dismantling of Education Dept. And, Trump threatens Russia with tariffs

This decision risks the jobs of 1,400 employees whose work supports vulnerable students.

Additionally, the Justice Department confirmed no evidence of conspiracy theories surrounding Jeffrey Epstein's death, stating it was a suicide, which has implications for Trump's previous assertions regarding a deep state.
