By a 7-4 vote, the full Federal Circuit has *affirmed* a lower-court ruling holding that many of President Trump’s tariffs exceed his statutory authority.
The ruling won’t go into effect until October 14, though—which gives the Trump administration plenty of time to seek intervention from #SCOTUS:

A federal grand jury has declined to indict another person arrested as part of President Trump's D.C. crime surge.
This was the only case we know of in which the National Guard participated in an arrest.
After the grand jury declined to return an indictment, DOJ moved to dismiss the case.
