Live updates: Trump lauds 'win' over Newsom in National Guard case; Supreme Court issues rulings
Video: UN Security Council meets amid Israel-Iran war
President Trump celebrated an appeals court ruling that affirmed his control over the California National Guard, which he ordered deployed amid unrest in Los Angeles. Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) had sued over the action.
"BIG WIN in the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals on the President’s core power to call in the National Guard!" Trump wrote on Truth Social. The three-judge Ninth Circuit panel unanimously ruled the Trump administration had presented enough evidence to show it had a defensible rationale for doing so and that Newsom had no power to veto the president’s order. Newsom, in a post on X, said, "The fight doesn't end here."
The Supreme Court issued six opinions on Friday morning, as it winds down its term. Among them, it ruled on in favor of fuel producers in suing over California emissions laws and said vape producers could sue the FDA.
Trump, meanwhile, is weighing his options on the U.S. role in Israel's battle against Iran. He'll meet with his national security team daily this weekend amid the two-week decision window he laid out on Thursday. In Geneva, European officials are sitting down for talks with Iran's foreign minister.
As the Senate tries to get Trump's major policy legislation passed, it was hit with a parliamentarian ruling on Friday morning, saying some parts of the "big, beautiful bill" run afoul of the Byrd Rule and must be taken out of the package to allow it to pass with a simple majority vote.
