The real estate business in South Florida is booming with residents of New York City looking to relocate as the political climate in the Big Apple appears to be taking a hard left turn, a developer told Fox Business.
Alex Soros, the son of leftist billionaire megadonor George Soros, on Tuesday hailed socialist Zohran Mamdani’s election to become the next mayor of New York City.
Key Indications from the JusticesThe bench was “hot” and bipartisan, with a majority (including conservatives) expressing deep skepticism toward the administration’s claim that tariffs are mere “regulatory” measures on foreign commerce rather than taxes. Solicitor General D. John Sauer faced tough questioning, insisting revenue generation was “incidental,” but justices repeatedly equated tariffs to taxes infringing on Congress’s core authority under the Constitution.
No justice voiced clear support for the full scope of Trump’s authority; instead, they probed historical precedent, statutory text (IEEPA doesn’t mention “tariffs”), and doctrines like major questions and non-delegation.
Justice
Key Indication
Implication
John Roberts (C)
Tariffs are “imposition of taxes on Americans… always… a core power of Congress”; invoked major questions doctrine, noting no explicit congressional grant for such “major authority.”
Signals likely application of conservative-favored doctrines against Trump, potentially invalidating tariffs.
Amy Coney Barrett (C, Trump appointee)
Challenged if “regulate” imports includes tariff power; no other U.S. code uses “regulate” for taxes; noted refunds could create “a mess” but didn’t defend policy.
Highlights textualism/originalism concerns; her questions suggest openness to striking down the tariffs despite practical fallout.
Neil Gorsuch (C)
Questioned if presidents could declare emergencies for climate change (Sauer conceded “probably”); called tariffs a “one-way ratchet” bypassing Congress.
Reinforces non-delegation worries; aligns with his past dissents on executive overreach in taxation.
Brett Kavanaugh (C, Trump appointee)
Noted “odd donut hole” in statute (bans trade but not low tariffs?); defended some precedent (e.g., Nixon’s 10% tariff) but pressed on limits; may view major questions as inapplicable to foreign affairs.
Most administration-friendly but still skeptical; could be swing vote for partial uphold (e.g., targeted tariffs only).
Sonia Sotomayor (L)
“You say tariffs are not taxes, but that’s exactly what they are”; questioned emergency basis (e.g., 10% Canada tariff over a World Series ad).
Echoed liberal view of economic harm to Americans; reinforces bipartisan tax framing.
Other Conservatives (Thomas, Alito)
Fewer questions but joined Gorsuch in past non-delegation concerns; no strong pro-tariff signals.

Likely align with Roberts/Barrett on constitutional limits.
Liberals (Kagan, Jackson)
Echoed tax/affordability critiques; Kagan probed historical use of IEEPA.

President Trump has a better approval now than Obama did at the same time of second term
According to RealClearPolitics Trump is doing better than Obama did at this time of his second term.
Trump has 44% approval, Obama had 41%. Trump is doing 3% better.
If you take into consideration that most pollsters are far leftists who routinely overvalue the Democrats, Trump is even more ahead, not 3% better, but likely 10% better

‘Celebrities Don’t Make a Difference on Who People Vote For’
Actress Jennifer Lawrence spent years pushing left-wing policies, trashing Republicans, and smearing President Donald Trump. Now she says it is beginning to dawn on her that celebrities constantly spouting off about politics not only hurts the film industry, it is “ripping the country apart.”
President Donald Trump warned that if the Nigerian government continues to allow Christians in the country to be killed, the United States military “may very well” go into Nigeria “guns-a-blazing.”
Radical socialist Zohran Mamdani’s lead over Andrew Cuomo has narrowed to just 6.6 points — the slimmest edge he’s held since July, according to a stunning new poll out Saturday.
The new AtlasIntel survey has Democratic candidate Mamdani leading the field with 40.6%, and the former New York governor, a registered Democrat running as an independent, clawing up to 34% just days before Tuesday’s election.
“The gap is closing fast — we can feel it on the ground everywhere from the Bronx to Staten Island. At this rate, we win the race. Keep going strong,” Cuomo said.
