Summary
🏛️ 1. Reinstatement of Trump's Tariffs
- An appeals court stayed a ruling from the U.S. Court of International Trade that had blocked President Donald Trump's "Liberation Day" tariffs.
- The White House criticized the judiciary, calling the court's decision an overreach and asserting that the President has the authority to impose tariffs for national security.
- The administration emphasized the need to address the U.S. trade deficit and rebuild domestic manufacturing.
🕵️ 2. FBI Document Discovery
- FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino revealed the discovery of a previously undisclosed room at FBI headquarters containing documents from former Director James Comey's tenure.
- These documents were allegedly not processed through standard procedures and were found in bags, raising concerns about mishandling.
- The FBI is working to declassify the materials, which are said to involve other intelligence agencies and could have significant implications.
💉 3. Cancellation of Moderna Vaccine Contract
- The Department of Health and Human Services, under Secretary RFK Jr., canceled a $766 million contract with Moderna for an mRNA-based bird flu vaccine.
- Despite positive early trial results, the administration cited concerns over the scientific and ethical justification for continued investment.
- This move reflects broader skepticism toward mRNA vaccines and aligns with policy shifts under RFK Jr., including rolling back COVID-19 vaccine recommendations for certain groups.
