Trump admin updates: Trump says Venezuelan airspace should be 'closed in its entirety'

The Supreme Court on Wednesday declined to act on President Donald Trump's request to greenlight his immediate removal of the director of the U.S. Copyright Office and Register of Copyrights at the Library of Congress, Shira Perlmutter.

The Supreme Court said it was deferring a decision until after it hears arguments in a pair of cases involving presidential firing power -- Trump v. Slaughter, involving members of independent agencies like the FTC, and Trump v. Cook, involving governors of the Federal Reserve.

The move came over the lone dissent of Justice Clarence Thomas, who indicated that he would have allowed Trump to remove Perlmutter effective immediately, even as litigation proceeds.

The dispute centers on the unique status of the Library of Congress -- inside which the U.S. Copyright Office resides -- which was created by lawmakers and exercises functions not solely within the purview of the executive branch and executive power.

Attorneys for Perlmutter say she was improperly terminated by acting Librarian of Congress (and also deputy Attorney General) Todd Blanche because he was not properly installed under federal law.

President Donald Trump is lashing out at the New York Times for its story analyzing how Trump hosts fewer events now than he did in his first term, takes fewer domestic trips and starts most of his events later in the day.

The Times explicitly called out Trump's Nov. 6 Oval Office event for the administration's announcement with Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly about lowering the cost of GLP-1 drugs. During the event, it appeared Trump was fighting to stay awake and dozed off for a bit during the event. The Times also mentioned recent bruising on his hand and swollen ankles.

Trump pushed back on the article in a lengthy social media post, saying all he does as president "requires a lot of Work and Energy."

"I have never worked so hard in my life," Trump added.

Trump insulted one of the reporters on the byline, calling her a "third rate reporter who is ugly, both inside and out."

But Trump did acknowledge in his post that there will be a day when he runs low on energy, adding that it happens to everyone, but it's not happening today.

"There will be a day when I run low on Energy, it happens to everyone, but with a PERFECT PHYSICAL EXAM AND A COMPREHENSIVE COGNITIVE TEST ('That was aced') JUST RECENTLY TAKEN, it certainly is not now!," Trump wrote.

Asked whether he’s looking to extend Affordable Care Act subsidies, President Donald Trump said he would rather not, but added that an extension might be necessary.

“Somebody said I wanted to extend it for two years," Trump told reporters on Air Force One on Tuesday. "I don't want to extend it for two years. I'd rather not extend them at all. Some kind of an extension may be necessary to get something else done, because the 'unaffordable care act' has been a disaster. It's a disaster, and I said it was when it first got put in."

The issue of extending ACA health care was at the heart of the dispute between Republicans and Democrats on Capitol Hill during the 43-day government shutdown.

In a social media post on Tuesday, President Donald Trump said there are "only a few remaining points of disagreement" when it comes to the peace plan between Russia and Ukraine, adding that in the hopes of finalizing the plan, he has directed special envoy Steve Witkoff to meet with President Vladimir Putin in Moscow and that Secretary of the Army Dan Driscoll meet with the Ukrainians.

"The original 28-Point Peace Plan, which was drafted by the United States, has been fine-tuned, with additional input from both sides, and there are only a few remaining points of disagreement," Trump wrote on Tuesday.

"In the hopes of finalizing this Peace Plan, I have directed my Special Envoy Steve Witkoff to meet with President Putin in Moscow and, at the same time, Secretary of the Army Dan Driscoll will be meeting with the Ukrainians," Trump continued.

Trump does not say in his post when the meetings with Russia and Ukraine will take place.

Trump, along with Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, will be briefed on the progress that has been made. Trump also said he hopes to meet with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and President Putin soon, but only when a deal to end the war is finalized.

"I look forward to hopefully meeting with President Zelenskyy and President Putin soon, but ONLY when the deal to end this War is FINAL or, in its final stages," Trump said.
