The biggest story rolling into Tuesday is the SCOTUS term-end blitz, and the most consequential ruling is the one that should terrify everyone: the court overturned 90 years of precedent to let Trump fire virtually any executive branch official for any reason. Justice Sotomayor filed a 49-page dissent warning that "chaos will follow" and that the majority had handed Trump powers the Founding Fathers never intended to give any president — powers exceeding those of the British monarchy.

The one guardrail left standing: the court ruled Trump cannot fire Federal Reserve governor Lisa Cook without cause — a carve-out that makes no logical sense until you consider who benefits.

Still to come today: rulings on birthright citizenship, trans athletes in school sports, and campaign finance limits — the term's final, highest-stakes batch.

The court also rejected Trump's last-ditch appeal of the $5 million E. Jean Carroll sexual abuse verdict. He still has to pay. He went berserk on Truth Social, claiming the case was not really about him but actually against the United States od America. Okay.

And in a notable break, Amy Coney Barrett joined the liberal justices on several of these recent decisions — including upholding mail in ballots’ grace period — prompting MAGA to dub her "Traitor Coney Barrett."

Carroll still has a separate $83.3 million defamation verdict working through appeals. Trump has denied everything, as he does, but two juries have now looked at the evidence and disagreed.

She's 34. He's 80. And according to a bombshell new book from NYT reporters Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan, Trump's ever-present aide Natalie Harp left him a love note reading: "You are all that matters to me." The line reportedly left incoming chief of staff Susie Wiles stunned. Trump, for his part, took to calling her "Nathalie" — with a French accent, no less — and bragging to staff that she loved him "as much as his wife and kids," adding: "She'll never leave me."

The book details how Harp, a former OAN host, has become Trump's human Truth Social machine, news curator, and shadow — down to showing him the Charlie Kirk assassination footage herself. Her own brother is now publicly calling the relationship "very unhealthy."

The White House insists it's just loyalty.

James Carville went on his podcast and called for a formal party schism, saying DSA-aligned candidates "have no place in the Democratic party." Former DNC chair Jaime Harrison told progressives to stop using party infrastructure. Rahm Emanuel went on CNN. The old guard is loud right now.

The problem: the DSA is winning. Thirty-five DSA-backed candidates have won primaries or advanced unopposed this cycle, with victories across New York, California, Pennsylvania, Oregon, and Georgia. A Marquette Law School poll found the DSA holds higher favorability among Democratic voters than the congressional Democrats currently threatening to expel them.

CNN data analyst Harry Enten put it plainly: "Simply put, they're more popular than the Democrats currently in charge."

A new poll confirms the political logic — Obama, Bernie Sanders, and Zohran Mamdani are the most popular politicians in the country, while the centrist brand continues its long, expensive decline.

A Fox News poll from March found 49% of all registered voters — including 72% of Democrats — say capitalism is working "not very" or "not at all" well. The establishment wants a schism. The base wants rent relief.

House Democrats are watching today as another one of their veteran colleagues tries to fend off a left-wing DSA challenger, Melat Kiros, in the Colorado primaries.

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani's administration permanently shut down the North Infirmary Command, a Rikers Island facility that most recently housed 223 people with acute medical needs requiring hospital-level care.

The closure was made possible by a new therapeutic housing unit and a transfer arrangement sending detainees with complex medical needs to Bellevue Hospital — an actual healthcare facility, imagine that.

Rikers has logged four in-custody deaths so far this year alone, on top of more than 100 over the past decade — a "hell hole," as advocates call it, that's been under federal oversight for ten years and still can't keep people alive long enough to stand trial.

"Public safety and human dignity are not competing values," Mamdani said, which shouldn't be a radical statement but here we are.

A 2021 law requires the mayor to remove parts of Rikers from DOC ownership every 6 months, but Eric Adams refused to do so even once during his four years as mayor.

The city is legally required to close all of Rikers by August 2027, though Mamdani has already flagged that the timeline is "practically impossible" given years of neglect and a current population of 6,700 in facilities with only 4,100-bed replacement capacity. The North Infirmary Command closure is the first real brick out of the wall.
