Trump asks Supreme Court to allow billions in foreign aid cuts
US President Donald Trump’s administration has asked the Supreme Court to let it withhold more than $4bn (£3bn) in foreign aid.
The administration is seeking an emergency order as it tries to claw back funds for foreign assistance programmes that have already been allocated by Congress.
A lower court last week said the Trump administration had a statutory obligation to spend the money, and an appeals court declined last Friday to freeze that ruling.

The Eisenhower Precedent: Is Trump Justified in Deploying the National Guard to Chicago?
If Eisenhower can deploy the National Guard to protect nine students, it is reasonable for Trump to send them to protect millions.
In 1954, a unanimous U.S. Supreme Court held in Brown v. Board of Education that state laws establishing racial segregation in public schools were unconstitutional.
Three years later, the Arkansas branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) recruited nine African American students to attempt to integrate Central High School in Little Rock.
On September 4, 1957, the first day of school, a white mob gathered in front of Central High, and Governor Orval Faubus, a staunch segregationist, deployed the Arkansas National Guard to prevent the black students from entering.
Trump Open to Bringing Back Insane Asylums
President Donald Trump says he is open to the idea of bringing back insane asylums.
During an interview in the Oval Office Friday with Daily Caller White House Correspondent Reagan Reese, Trump was asked if he would consider reopening insane asylums for those suffering from severe mental illness.
“Yeah, I would,” Trump responded, adding, “They used to have them, and you never saw people like we had, you know, they used to have them.”
Trump slams JB Pritzker on Chicago crime after at least 6 people killed during bloody weekend
President Trump slammed JB Pritzker as “weak and pathetic” on Saturday, warning that he’ll deploy federal troops to Chicago if the Democratic governor of Illinois doesn’t get the violence under control.
Pritzker has accused Trump of “attempting to manufacture a crisis” in Chicago, where at least 35 people have been shot, including four fatally, so far over Labor Day weekend.
Trump’s fiery Truth Social post addressed a previous weekend of carnage in Chicago, where shootings left six dead and more than two dozen hurt between Aug. 22 and Aug. 25.
Defying Congress, Trump Moves to Cut $4.9 Billion in Foreign Aid
The White House has informed Congress it intends to cancel $4.9 billion that lawmakers approved for foreign aid programs, invoking a little-known and legally untested power to slash spending without their approval.
The 15-page notification, sent to Congress on Thursday night and reviewed by The New York Times, is the administration’s first effort to push through what is known as a “pocket rescission.” It is an effort to unilaterally claw back money that has already been appropriated by waiting so late in the fiscal year to make the request that lawmakers do not have time to reject it before the funding expires.
Who cares what Congress thinks this will be all good for Americans.
President Trump: Charge Soros under RICO for US unrest ties

The Media Flips Out Over Trump Claim—But Once Again, He Was Right
FBI agents raided the Maryland home of President Donald Trump’s former National Security Adviser John Bolton on Friday, as part of a “high-profile national security probe” involving classified documents.

Here is a suggestion: Instruct the Justice Department to open a criminal investigation into Tan. It is time to establish accountability in corporate America when it comes to the People’s Republic of China.
