Harvard University is the latest dragon to have slowed, if not yet entirely slayed, the Trump administration’s march. A federal judge in Boston on Wednesday ordered the President to reverse immediately more than $2.2bn (£1.6bn) in research funding cuts, using uncompromising language to describe Trump’s scorched earth battle against the Ivy League institution.
She assessed the government “used antisemitism as a smokescreen for a targeted, ideologically-motivated assault on this country’s premier universities”. She ruled that the funding cuts were “arbitrary and capricious”, and that Trump’s claim to be cracking down on campus antisemitism was deliberately designed to obscure an assault on the “defendants’ power and political views”.
The judges upheld a lower court ruling that Trump had no justification for implementing his tariffs via the International Emergency Economic Powers Act that he cited in order to sideline Congress. Rejecting the argument that a trading or national security “emergency” existed, the court argued that Trump flagrantly overstepped his authority. The setting of tariffs, it ruled, is a “core Congressional power”, although the judges left the tariffs in place until 14 October, affording the White House a chance to launch its appeal.

They have been told that eventually, tariff revenues will be so significant that he will scrap federal income tax, funding the government instead via a promised – but still non-existent – “External Revenue Service”. If the tariffs are struck down, that pledge would be upturned and instead his government would have to refund billions of duties already collected from US importers.

Survivors took to the steps of the US Capitol to urge lawmakers to pass legislation requiring the files’ release. “We are not going away, we are not going to be quiet, and we are not going to give up,” said Annie Farmer, a victim who testified at jailed Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell’s 2021 trial.
Trump, at the White House, dismissed Wednesday’s event as a “Democrat hoax”, but he is now on notice that his numerous efforts to distract his followers’ attention away from the issue have entirely failed.
The White House may now be hoping that the pomp and circumstance of Trump’s state visit to the UK this month affords the President a fresh opportunity to change the subject, and persuade Americans that he’s on the right track. But much now hinges on two separate courts: the Supreme Court, where so many of his initiatives will now be adjudicated, and the court of public opinion, where currently he is losing substantial ground.
