A sweeping defeat of Trump's immigration policies will likely end up in the Supreme Court, a legal expert flagged.Last week, a federal judge in Rhode Island struck down four Trump policies that froze immigration benefits for nationals from 39 countries, attorney Rachel Cohen said on Legal AF. Cohen is now expecting that challenge to land in the Supreme Court."I would be shocked if it didn't go all the way up to the Supreme Court," Cohen said, referring to the case Dorcas International Institute of Rhode Island v. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). The administration entered final judgment earlier this week and has already filed a notice of appeal, Cohen added.The Trump administration violated the Administrative Procedure Act and the Immigration and Nationality Act with policies that froze asylum decisions, green cards, work permits, and naturalization for people from countries on Trump's travel-ban list, according to Cohen's description of a ruling by Chief Judge John McConnell."It actually is, I would say, one of the most sweeping kind of rebukes to the Trump administration when it comes to its attempts to target legal immigrants that we have seen thus far," Cohen said. "Trump has been attacking legal immigrants left and right by changing policies as much as possible."Cohen also flagged a deeper problem with Trump's policies, grinding the important immigration process to a halt."If you're not even processing any of these applications, basically all that that arm of the government is doing is terrorizing people on the streets, snatching them up," Cohen said, referring to the Department of Homeland Security, which oversees USCIS and ICE. She also noted that congressional Republicans moved to increase the ICE budget by $70 billion over the next three years.

The Reflecting Pool's new murky, green color is leaving onlookers disgusted and angry after a costly renovation."The Reflecting Pool is VERY green and VERY disgusting," posted Brianne Chapman, who runs the left-wing political X account Anarc-y princess. "Even on the worst days, I never saw it look this bad before."Algae has left the Reflecting Pool tinged green, and workers are struggling to keep it clean despite a multi-million dollar renovation, according to recent reports. People are starting to notice as Trump prepares to celebrate his birthday and America's 250th anniversary."What a disaster," agreed MeidasTouch, a political news site, on X."Good to see the Reflecting Pool back to its normal color," joked Shane Harris, a staff writer for The Atlantic."Reflecting Pool today is looking...a little green," commented attorney and Democratic influencer Matt Rein.Ron Filipkowski, the editor-in-chief of MeidasTouch, wrote, "Hard to believe this is from a guy who inherited $413 million from his father only to declare bankruptcy 6 times before convincing an NBC producer to bail him out by creating a fictional show that he was a successful businessman."

Conservative CNN pundit Scott Jennings embarrassingly lost his attempt to defend Trump as his name came off the Kennedy Center."Are we upset that the president of the United States took an interest in the Kennedy Center?" Jennings asked while on a CNN roundtable."A lot of people are upset about that, yes," CNN host Abby Phillip responded. "Why?" Jennings followed up before taking a shot at Trump opponents. "They've never been able to stand the fact that Donald Trump won the White House the first time, and especially the second time."Phillip quickly countered Jennings' argument by pointing out why people are really upset about Trump's attempted renaming."How about Congress established the Kennedy Center as a memorial for John F. Kennedy, and that it is illegal for him to slap his name on it?" Phillip said. "That is why people are upset about it."Jennings tried to hold up his argument, though."But here's the deal, he took an interest in this," Jennings said, referring to Trump."What about the laws, Scott?" Phillip asked."What about it?" Jennings shot back.Phillip laughed as soon as Jennings said that, but he kept on going."Who cares?" he insisted. "These haters stand out on the street screeching about a name.""Wow, haters," journalist Cari Champion reacted. "Unbelievable."
