Judge extends pause on order invalidating Trump's tariffs
A federal judge in Washington, D.C., extended a pause on his order invalidating the bulk of President Trump's tariffs until an appeals court can resolve the case. U.S. District Judge Rudolph Contreras had already agreed to put his ruling on hold for two weeks when he issued it, but Tuesday's extension lasts indefinitely until the appeals court rules. It's the latest development in what has been a whirlwind week for the legal battle surrounding Trump's tariffs. Two federal courts found Trump's use of an emergency law to justify tariffs unlawful, but neither ruling is currently in effect. In response to a lawsuit filed by two education businesses, Contreras on Thursday invalidated Trump's reciprocal 'Liberation Day' tariffs and those he recently imposed on China that cited fentanyl trafficking. The ruling landed hours after the U.S. Court of International Trade blocked those tariffs and ones Trump imposed on Canada and Mexico. That ruling came in response to suits filed by another group of businesses and a coalition of Democratic-led states. The Trump administration quickly brought the legal battle to the appeals courts and asked to immediately halt the injunctions, warning that allowing them to take effect would curtail Trump's leverage to make trade deals with other countries. The two appeals are taking place in separate courts. In the case decided by the trade court, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit quickly agreed to pause the ruling until the next stage of the appeal. Contreras's ruling heads to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, which has not yet intervened. But noting the Federal Circuit's pause, Contreras went ahead and put his decision on hold indefinitely. 'The Court acknowledged the national security and foreign policy concerns raised by Defendants but determined that those consequences would flow, if at all, from the' trade court's order, Contreras wrote. 'That order has now been stayed by the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. A stay in this action is therefore appropriate to protect the President's ability to identify and respond to threats to the U.S. economy and national security,' Contreras, an appointee of former President Obama, continued. The cases are just some of the legal challenges to Trump's tariffs. But federal judges in California, Montana and Florida have declined to consider other lawsuits filed in their courts, telling plaintiffs they instead need to bring their case before the trade court. U.S. District Judge Jacqueline Corley, an appointee of former President Biden who serves in San Francisco, did so on Tuesday and dismissed a lawsuit filed by California and Gov. Gavin Newsom (D).

Sonny Gray strikes out 10 in the Cardinals' 2-0 victory over the the Rangers
ARLINGTON, Texas -- Sonny Gray struck out 10 while allowing only four singles over seven innings and Willson Contreras had a part in both St. Louis runs as the Cardinals beat the Texas Rangers 2-0 on Saturday. Gray's 19th game with double-digit strikeouts made the 35-year-old right-hander in his 13th big league season the 10th active pitcher with 1,800 career strikeouts. Gray (6-1) threw 64 of 91 pitches for strikes and had only one walk. Ryan Helsley worked the ninth for his 13th save in 15 chances to wrap up the Cardinals' seventh shutout of the season. Phil Maton pitched the eighth. The Cardinals went ahead to stay by manufacturing a run without a hit after the second inning nearly started with a home run. Contreras led off with a towering flyball near the left-field pole that prompted a crew chief review to determine it was foul as initially called. He then walked, advanced on a wild pitch by Patrick Corbin (3-4), got to third on a groundout and scored on Nolan Arenado's sacrifice fly. Maysn Winn led of the Cardinals fourth with a double and went home on a ground-rule double by Contreras, a ball that hit just fair down the left-field line and bounced into the seats. Corbin allowed two runs on three hits and two walks over 5 1/3 innings. Texas, after an 11-1 win Friday night, was shut out for the eighth time. Cardinals second baseman Brendan Donovan's nifty play in the ninth inning to throw out speedy No. 3 hitter Wyatt Langford for the second out around two strikeouts by Helsley. The Cardinals finished with a 19-8 record in May, their best record in that month since 20-7 in 2013, their last World Series season. Jacob deGrom (4-2, 2.42 ERA), who has allowed two runs over fewer in each of his last eight starts, pitches the series finale for Texas on Sunday. Eric Fedde (3-4) goes for the Cardinals.
