Sky York Journal The Trump White House is planning to send a second rescissions request to Capitol Hill in the coming weeks, hoping to extract a legislative stamp of approval for its efforts to impound funding that was previously authorized by Congress. This new request would come on the heels of congressional Republicans approving the administration’s first rescissions package, which made official $9 billion in foreign aid and public broadcasting cuts and effectively rubber-stamped the Trump White House’s constitutionally backwards infringement on Congress’ power of the purse. This time around, the package will reportedly target the Department of Education, though…

Sky York Journal Back in May, a nonprofit with close ties to the Trump administration filed a curious lawsuit. It sued John Roberts and the body that operates the federal court system, dryly informing both the chief justice and the courts that they were mistaken in their belief that they controlled themselves: actually, the suit claimed, the White House controls them. America First Legal Foundation, a nonprofit founded in 2021 by Stephen Miller to act as a MAGA version of the ACLU, concealed the claim in a FOIA lawsuit: it asked a judge to order the Administrative Office of U.S.…

Sky York Journal It could be years before a cell therapy from Nkarta reaches autoimmune disease patients in the market, but CEO Paul Hastings still thinks about the impact of pharmaceutical tariffs here and now. With blood from healthy donors, Nkarta isolates immune cells called natural killer cells, then engineers them for a new therapeutic purpose. The donor material comes from the U.S. and Nkarta manufactures its therapies at its own site in South San Francisco, but it’s misleading to call these biologic medicines all-American products. Nkarta relies on chemicals and other materials from global suppliers. One key vendor, based…

Sky York Journal If you have been online at all over the course of the past several weeks, you know a little something about the raging MAGA civil war. It is impossible to follow all the daily twists and turns, even for those of us whose job it is to stay informed. The broad, general concept is that conspiracy-minded Donald Trump supporters had long been calling for Trump’s Department of Justice to release the Jeffrey Epstein client list of prominent people the deceased financier had supposedly procured underage women for (thinking and hoping that the list would be populated by…

Sky York Journal Citing conditions and legal issues at Governor Ron DeSantis’ “Alligator Alcatraz” facility in the Everglades, a Mexican diplomat issued a stark warning to anyone from his country thinking of traveling to Florida. “They should take precautions or not come to Florida,” Juan Sabines, the consul of Mexico in Orlando, told TPM in a conversation this week. “You should take extreme precautions when you come to Florida.”  Speaking in Spanish during an interview Tuesday evening, Sabines said Mexicans visiting the state need to take care with “basic things” such as ensuring they are renting cars from legitimate locations,…

Sky York Journal In two rulings issued within a curiously short time of each other Wednesday afternoon, a federal judge in Tennessee cleared the way for Kilmar Abrego Garcia to be released from custody pending his criminal trial and a federal judge in Maryland barred the Trump administration from detaining him for immigration proceedings once he’s released. The pair of highly anticipated rulings means Abrego Garcia could soon be returned to Maryland, where he was unlawfully picked up in March by immigration enforcement and wrongfully deported to El Salvador in violation of an immigration judge’s order that barred his removal…
