Trump celebrates Supreme Court birthright citizenship ruling
He called the ruling a 'giant win' and announced that he will be speaking about it in a press conference at 11:30 a.m.
'GIANT WIN in the United States Supreme Court! Even the Birthright Citizenship Hoax has been, indirectly, hit hard. It had to do with the babies of slaves (same year!), not the SCAMMING of our Immigration process. Congratulations to Attorney General Pam Bondi, Solicitor General John Sauer, and the entire DOJ. News Conference at the White House, 11:30 A.M. EST,' he said on Truth Social.
The high court's decision found that three federal district judges went too far in issuing nationwide injunctions, allowing blocks on Trump's birthright citizenship ban only in Democratic-run states that have filed challenges against it.
In the other states, the Trump administration may resume developing guidance to implement the order, though they must wait 30 days before attempting to deny citizenship to anyone.
The ruling though does not yet definitively resolve whether Trump's restrictions on birthright citizenship are constitutional. The limits nationwide injunctions will likely have a significant impact on legal battles beyond birthright citizenship, as the Trump administration is locked in battles over injunctions against many of Trump's policies.
Attorney General Pan Bondi also took a victory lap after the ruling, celebrating what she described as the end to injunctions against Trump.
'Today, the Supreme Court instructed district courts to STOP the endless barrage of nationwide injunctions against President Trump,' Bondi said on X.
She continues, 'This would not have been possible without tireless work from our excellent lawyers @TheJusticeDept and our Solicitor General John Sauer. This Department of Justice will continue to zealously defend @POTUS's policies and his authority to implement them.'

USOPC officials bar transgender women from competing in Olympic women's sports
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — The U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee has effectively barred transgender women from competing in women's sports, telling the federations overseeing swimming, athletics and other sports it has an 'obligation to comply' with an executive order issued by President Donald Trump. The change, announced Monday with a quiet change on the USOPC's website and confirmed in a letter sent to national sport governing bodies, follows a similar step taken by the NCAA earlier this year. The USOPC change is noted obliquely as a detail under 'USOPC Athlete Safety Policy' and reference's Trump's executive order, 'Keeping Men Out of Women's Sports,' signed in February. That order, among other things, threatens to 'rescind all funds' from organizations that allow transgender athlete participation in women's sports. U.S Olympic officials told the national governing bodies they will need to follow suit, adding that 'the USOPC has engaged in a series of respectful and constructive conversations with federal officials' since Trump signed the order. 'As a federally chartered organization, we have an obligation to comply with federal expectations,' USOPC CEO Sarah Hirshland and President Gene Sykes wrote in a letter. 'Our revised policy emphasizes the importance of ensuring fair and safe competition environments for women. All National Governing Bodies are required to update their applicable policies in alignment.' The nationwide battle over transgender girls on girls' and women's sports teams has played out at both the state and federal levels as Republicans portray the issue as a fight for athletic fairnes. More than two dozen states have enacted laws barring transgender women and girls from participating in certain sports competitions. Some policies have been blocked in court by those who say the policies are discriminatory, cruel and unnecessarily target a tiny niche of athletes. The NCAA changed its participation policy for transgender athletes to limit competition in women's sports to athletes assigned female at birth. That change came a day after Trump signed the executive order intended to ban transgender athletes from girls' and women's sports. Female eligibility is a key issue for the International Olympic Committee under its new president, Kirsty Coventry. The IOC has allowed individual sports federations to set their own rules at the Olympics — and some have already taken steps on the topic. Stricter rules on transgender athletes — barring from women's events anyone who went through male puberty — have been passed by swimming, cycling and track and field. Soccer is reviewing its eligibility rules for women and could set limits on testosterone. Trump has said he wants the IOC to change everything 'having to do with this absolutely ridiculous subject.' Los Angeles will host the Summer Games in 2028.

Trump says he may eliminate capital gains tax on home sales
WASHINGTON — President Trump said Tuesday he is considering eliminating the capital gains tax on home sales — a potentially massive financial break for sellers. 'We are thinking about no tax on capital gains on houses,' Trump told reporters in the Oval Office during a meeting with Philippines President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. Trump was responding to a question from Real America Voice reporter Brian Glenn, who is in a relationship with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene. The Georgia GOP congresswoman recently introduced a bill in Congress calling for the elimination of the tax on home sales. Minutes earlier, the president had unloaded on Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell for not lowering interest rates.

AFP via Getty Images 'It's causing a problem for people who want to buy a home,' Trump said. 'People aren't able to buy a house because this guy is a numbskull. He keeps the rates too high, and probably doing it for political reasons,' Trump went on, claiming that Powell will be out in 'eight months' — despite his term expiring May 15.

Andy Dean – The president said the housing market could be unleashed 'just by lowering the interest rates.' Single tax-filers can currently exclude a maximum of $250,000 in capital gains when they sell their homes, a limit that has been in place since 1997. Joint filers can exclude up to $500,000. Advertisement 'Families who work hard, build equity and sell their homes should not be punished with massive tax bills,' Greene said in a statement about her bill. 'The capital gains tax on home sales is an outdated, unfair burden—especially in today's housing market, where values have skyrocketed. My bill fixes that.' Congress recently passed Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill that codified many of his promised tax cuts, including no taxes on tips and overtime pay. The elimination of capital gains tax would have to be passed by Congress.
