Trump calls for famed Alcatraz prison to be reopened, expanded

The Trump administration filed a new emergency request with the Supreme Court on Friday seeking to lift a lower court block of its efforts to overhaul the federal government.

The administration argued that a judicial order blocking DOGE from accessing sensitive data inside the Social Security Administration is an illegal infringement on core executive branch power to conduct day-to-day business of the government.

It also argued the federal employee union that brought the challenge lacks standing because it is unable to show any concrete injury.

"The district court is forcing the Executive Branch to stop employees charged with modernizing government information systems from accessing the data in those systems because, in the court's judgment, those employees do not 'need' such access," Solicitor General John Sauer wrote.

EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin announced a significant reorganization for the agency the same day the Trump administration proposed billions of dollars in cuts to renewable energy, environmental and climate programs.

"EPA is creating the first-of-its-kind Office of State Air Partnerships within the Office of Air and Radiation. This office will be focused on working with, not against, state, local and tribal air permitting agencies to improve processing of State Implementation Plans and resolving air permitting concerns," Zeldin said in a video posted to YouTube.

Zeldin added that the EPA will also create a new Office of Clean Air program, make changes to its Office of Water and create an Office of Applied Science and Environmental Solutions.

Zeldin said the reorganization would save more than $300 million a year and that the agency's goal is to reduce staffing to match the level of Ronald Reagan's presidency.

The US Army is weighing plans for a historic parade through the streets of Washington, D.C., this June that would involve some 6,600 soldiers, tanks and infantry vehicles, helicopter flyovers and parachute jumps, according to several people familiar with the ongoing planning effort.

The June 14 parade, if approved, would coincide with the Army’s long-planned 250th celebration, as well as President Donald Trump’s 79th birthday.

The Army has long been planning to commemorate its milestone birthday with a festival on the National Mall that would include a fitness expo, staged vehicles and historical memorabilia. Officials said the parade is a potential add-on and cautioned that no final decisions have been made.

The timing and White House involvement in planning efforts have stoked speculation that Trump is using the Army’s birthday as an excuse to get the kind of grand military parade he wanted during his first term in office. That event was scrapped after estimates topped $90 million.

The cost for this year’s June 14 parade is unclear, officials said. But it would likely be steep. The event will require involvement from several federal agencies, including those requiring security.

The state of Maine and the Trump administration reached a settlement Friday to resolve a lawsuit over a recent funding freeze that Maine alleged was imposed to punish the state for its policies on transgender athletes.

The settlement was disclosed in a court filing on Friday afternoon, and lawyers with the Maine Attorney General’s office moved to dismiss their case shortly afterward.

The terms of the settlement were not immediately disclosed.

“It’s unfortunate that my office had to resort to federal court just to get USDA to comply with the law and its own regulations. But we are pleased that the lawsuit has now been resolved and that Maine will continue to receive funds as directed by Congress to feed children and vulnerable adults,” Maine Attorney General Aaron M. Frey said in a statement Friday.

Last month, a federal judge blocked the Department of Agriculture from freezing millions of dollars related to child nutrition and other federal programs, finding the Trump administration likely violated the law when it attempted to cut off the previously appropriated funding.

The lawsuit followed a tense interaction between Trump and Maine Gov. Janet Mills in February over the president’s executive order prohibiting transgender athletes from participating in women’s sports.
