Supreme Court Allows Alien Enemies Act, EU Pitches Zero Tariffs, RFK jr. Wants Fluoride Gone

 • Supreme Court lifts blocks on Trump administration's use of 1798 Alien Enemies Act in a narrow 5-4 decision
• Attorney General Pam Bondi plans to "scour the country" for members of Tren de Aragua gang for deportation
• European Union extends offer to eliminate industrial tariffs which Trump dismisses, citing $350 billion trade deficit
• Trump characterizes EU as "formed to really do damage to the United States in trade"
• RFK Jr announces plans to tell CDC to stop recommending fluoride in drinking water
• Utah becomes first state to ban fluoride in public water supplies
• EPA reviewing scientific information about fluoride risks under Administrator Lee Zeldin 

 The Supreme Court just handed the Trump administration an extraordinary victory by reviving a 225-year-old law to deport Venezuelan gang members. In a narrow 5-4 decision, the Court lifted blocks on using the 1798 Alien Enemies Act—legislation so antiquated it hasn't seen action since World War II. Attorney General Pam Bondi wasted no time celebrating this "landmark victory," announcing plans to "scour the country" for members of the notorious Tren de Aragua gang. But the decision wasn't without controversy, with Justice Sotomayor penning a blistering dissent accusing the administration of attempting to subvert judicial process.

Meanwhile, as Trump unveils sweeping global tariffs, the European Union extends an apparent olive branch with a "zero-for-zero" proposal on industrial goods. Commission President von der Leyen's diplomatic overture was met with swift rejection from Trump, who bluntly characterized the EU as "formed to really do damage to the United States in trade." Citing a $350 billion trade deficit, Trump made it clear these tariffs aren't just negotiation tactics—they might become permanent fixtures of his economic strategy, sending tremors through global markets.

In a dramatic public health pivot, HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced plans to tell the CDC to stop recommending fluoride in drinking water. This policy shift gained momentum after Utah became the first state to ban fluoride in public water systems. EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin confirmed they're reviewing fluoride risks, acknowledging Kennedy's long-standing advocacy against the practice that's been standard since the 1940s.
