Federal appeals court allows Trump’s tariffs to continue

A federal appeals court will allow President Donald Trump’s reciprocal tariffs to remain in effect temporarily.

The United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit continued a stay of a ruling from the Court of International Trade that blocked the president’s sweeping global tariffs last month.

“Both sides have made substantial arguments on the merits. Having considered the traditional stay factors, the court concludes a stay is warranted under the circumstances,” the court’s two-page decision said.

The court also granted expedited review of the appeal with oral arguments set for July 31.

Trump announces Army bases will receive old names again

President Donald Trump announced on Tuesday that his administration will bring back the names of military bases that had been renamed in 2023 to remove names that honored Confederate leaders.

The Trump administration has already done that with Fort Benning and Fort Bragg by finding soldiers who had won medals for heroism and shared the same last names as the Confederate officers for whom the bases had originally been named.

“For a little breaking news, we are also going to be restoring the names to Fort Pickett, Fort Hood, Fort Gordon, Fort Rucker, Fort Polk, Fort A.P. Hill, and Fort Robert E. Lee,” Trump said while delivering remarks at Fort Bragg. “We won a lot of battles out of those forts. It’s no time to change. And I’m superstitious. I like to keep it going.”

‘This anarchy will not stand,’ Trump talks LA protests at Fort Bragg

President Donald Trump, visiting Fort Bragg to celebrate the Army’s 250th birthday, spoke at length about the protest in Los Angeles and his administration’s response — including the deployment of National Guardsmen and Marines, despite objections from California Gov. Gavin Newsom.

Trump again claimed, without evidence, that paid “insurrectionists” and “criminal invaders” are seizing the city.

“Generations of Army heroes did not shed their blood on distant shores only to watch our country be destroyed by invasion and third world lawlessness here at home, like is happening in California,” Trump said. “As commander in chief, I will not let that happen. It’s never going to happen. What you’re witnessing in California is a full-blown assault on peace, on public order and on national sovereignty carried out by rioters bearing foreign flags with the aim of continuing a foreign invasion of our country.”

“This anarchy will not stand,” Trump said.

Trump touts renaming Fort Liberty back to Fort Bragg

President Donald Trump, delivering remarks at Fort Bragg in North Carolina, repeatedly swiped at the Biden administration over the renaming of the military base to “Fort Liberty.” The name change came after a Congressional Naming Commission created by Congress recommended name changes for U.S. military installations named after Confederate generals and leaders.

“Fort Bragg, it shall always remain. That’s never going to be happening again,” Trump said.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth signed an order earlier this year authorizing the name change.

Trump says he’d ‘certainly’ invoke Insurrection Act if there’s an insurrection: ‘We will see’

President Donald Trump on Tuesday was asked if he would use the Insurrection Act as a response to the protests in Los Angeles over his administration’s immigration crackdown.

“If there’s an insurrection, we would certainly invoke it. We will see,” Trump responded.

“There were areas of Los Angeles last night where you could call it an insurrection,” he later added. He again claimed, without evidence, that the protesters are “paid insurrectionists.”
