A default, economists warn, would be financially catastrophic. It would trigger soaring interest rates on mortgages, credit cards, and student loans, decimate stock markets, and cause major disruptions in essential federal services. Millions of government employees and military members could face furloughs or unpaid work, while recipients of Social Security, veterans benefits, and other federal programs may see their payments halted.

In the first decision, the Court’s six conservative justices lifted a lower court’s injunction that had prevented DOGE personnel from accessing detailed Social Security Administration records. The injunction had been issued by a federal judge in Maryland in April, following lawsuits by civil rights and privacy groups who argued DOGE’s data collection methods were invasive and unlawful.

President Donald Trump has formally requested that Congress rescind $9.4 billion in previously approved federal spending, targeting funding for public broadcasting and foreign aid programs. The proposal, submitted on June 3, 2025, by White House budget director Russell Vought, seeks to legalize cuts initiated by the Department of Government Efficiency.

While the tax provisions grant temporary relief, the bill offsets its cost through deep cuts to major social programs. Medicaid faces projected reductions of $700 billion, including the implementation of work requirements for able-bodied adults under 65 and a $1 million cap on home equity eligibility for long-term care. SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) is set to lose $300 billion over ten years, a shift expected to disproportionately affect low-income househol

The announcement was made during a phone call from President Trump to their daughter, Savannah Chrisley, which she shared on social media. Savannah, a vocal supporter of President Trump, had actively campaigned for their release, including speaking at the 2024 Republican National Convention. In a video posted online, she expressed her disbelief and gratitude, stating, "The president called me personally as I was walking into Sam's Club and notified me that he was signing pard

The downgrade follows similar decisions by S&P in 2011 and Fitch in 2023. Together, these actions reflect growing skepticism among global financial observers about the U.S. government's ability to sustainably manage its finances. Moody’s cited recent fiscal proposals under consideration, such as large-scale tax cuts and expansive spending bills, as contributing to the downgrade. These initiatives, the agency said, demonstrate a continued trajectory of budgetary deterioration

In a dramatic pre-dawn session on Thursday, the U.S. House of Representatives narrowly approved President Donald Trump's expansive tax and spending package, dubbed the "One Big Beautiful Bill," by a 215-214 vote. The legislation, central to Trump's second-term agenda, now advances to the Senate, where significant revisions are anticipated.

President Donald Trump's sweeping domestic policy proposal, dubbed the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act," narrowly advanced out of the House Budget Committee late Sunday night following a rare weekend vote. The committee approved the measure by a 17–16 vote, with four Republican holdouts—Reps. Chip Roy (Texas), Ralph Norman (South Carolina), Andrew Clyde (Georgia), and Josh Brecheen (Oklahoma)—shifting from opposition to voting "present," allowing the bill to proceed without their

The Supreme Court's decision does not prevent the administration from using other immigration laws to pursue deportations but restricts the use of the Alien Enemies Act without proper legal procedures. The case will continue in the Fifth Circuit to determine the legality of the administration's actions and the appropriate notice required for deportations under this statute.

The bill outlines $715 billion in Medicaid cuts, which the CBO projects could result in at least 8.6 million individuals losing health coverage. Provisions include mandatory work requirements for childless adults aged 19 to 64, increased cost-sharing for beneficiaries, and stricter eligibility verification processes. Additionally, the bill proposes shifting a portion of Medicaid costs to states, a move that could strain state budgets and lead to further reductions in coverage

The immediate legal question before the Court is not the constitutionality of the executive order itself but whether individual federal judges possess the authority to issue nationwide injunctions that block such presidential actions. Federal judges in Maryland, Massachusetts, and Washington have already issued such injunctions, preventing the enforcement of the order across the country.

The effort, punctuated by occasional questions from Democratic colleagues, surpassed the previous Senate floor record set in 1957 by Sen. St
