| 0:00.0 | Today is Wednesday, March 19th. We're talking about the latest rulings that seem to pit the White House against some judges and what the U.S. Supreme Court's Chief Justice has to say about it, and what progress has and hasn't been made in a deal between Ukraine and Russia. |
| 0:13.0 | Also, an epic journey ends with a splashdown. Two NASA astronauts have finally returned home from an extended stay in space. |
| 0:19.7 | Plus, new efforts to crack down on baby formulas, |
| 0:22.2 | a lawsuit pitting tennis players against the associations that pay them, and which dog breed is |
| 0:26.6 | becoming much more popular here in the U.S. Those stories and even more news coming up. |
| 0:33.2 | Welcome, welcome to The Newsworthy. All the Day's News in around 10 minutes. Fast, fair, fun, and on the go. |
| 0:40.5 | I'm Erica Mandy. Thanks so much for being here. You ready? Let's do this. |

| 1:11.4 | restored, and he banned Musk from dealing with the agency personally. This isn't actually expected to |
| 1:16.7 | save USAID, though, since Secretary of State Marco Rubio has also promised cuts, and he was confirmed |
| 1:22.5 | by the U.S. Senate. Still, the White House said rogue judges are going against the will of the American |
| 1:27.2 | people in stopping President Trump's agenda. |
| 1:29.9 | Also yesterday, another federal judge blocked the Trump administration's effort to ban transgender Americans from the military. |
| 1:36.5 | In her strongly worded opinion, she said it was a cruel irony that thousands of transgender service members have sacrificed their lives to make sure others get the same rights they're being denied. |
| 1:46.3 | But in President Trump's executive order, he called being transgender a falsehood that's inconsistent with the humility and selflessness required of a service member. |
| 1:54.7 | And after the hearing on this case, the Justice Department filed a complaint against the judge accusing her of misconduct. |
| 2:00.3 | The DOJ is expected to appeal. |
