Trump administration tariffs, legal challenges, and economic pressures

The Trump administration is facing a wave of legal challenges from states over its tariff policies, with 25 states suing to block the latest round of import taxes, which they argue are a pretext for replacing levies previously struck down by the Supreme Court. Separately, more than 20 states are suing to prevent the federal government from accessing personal data of millions of social services recipients. On the economic front, mortgage rates have climbed to a one-year high of 6.66%, and while jobless claims remain historically low, some Trump supporters are expressing concern over rising costs tied to tariffs. Other developments include Capital One's disclosure that it closed Trump's accounts over money laundering concerns, the clearing of Todd Blanche's path to attorney general confirmation, and a House Ethics Committee recommendation to censure Republican Rep. Chuck Edwards.
