Days after *#Health* Secy RFK Jr announced that Covid shots would be removed from the federal #immunization schedule for children, the CDC issued updated advice that largely counters Kennedy’s new policy.

The agency kept #Covid shots o
the schedule for children 6 months to 17 years old with a new condition. #Children & their caregivers will be able to get the #vaccines in consultation with a doctor or provider, which the agency calls “shared decision-making.”

The shots will also continue to be available under those terms to about 38 million #LowIncome children who rely on the #Vaccines for Children program, acc/to an emailed update from the #CDC Friday.

However, the picture is less certain now for #pregnant #women, a group the #CDC had considered to be at high risk for a bad outcome from the #COVID #virus. The official CDC position for pregnant women is “no guidance,” acc/to a communication released from the agency Friday. #RFKJr’s pronouncement on Tues had included a decision to drop the recommendation for pregnant women to receive Covid #vaccines.

On May 22, World Liberty Financial announced that its #USD1 #stablecoin, a #cryptocurrency whose value is pegged to the #USdollar, started trading on Binance, the world’s largest crypto #exchange.

#SEC Drops #Binance Lawsuit Days After #Crypto Exchange Lists #Trump’s #Stablecoin

The Securities & Exchange Commission dropped a lawsuit against Binance on Thursday, days after the crypto exchange began listing a stablecoin created by #WorldLibertyFinancial, one of Trump’s #blockchain ventures.

#Binance founder Changpeng “#CZ” Zhao also pleaded #guilty, paid a $50M fine & was sentenced to 4 months in #prison.

In late April—a few wks before #USD1 began trading on Binance—Zhao applied for a #pardon from #Trump’s #DOJ.

On Thurs, the #SEC voluntarily dismissed its suit against Binance that accused it of failing to restrict high-net-worth individuals from the platform, misleading investors about trading controls & commingling funds that it routed to a 3rd party.

#Trump earns #income from his businesses while in office through the Donald J. Trump Revocable Trust, the same structure he used during his first term. He is its sole donor & beneficiary, while Donald Trump Jr. serves as the trustee. The #TrumpOrganization confirmed in an April filing in #Britain that 🚨Trump retains control over his businesses. As president despite promising that his sons were running it.

Trump pledged to make the #US the “#crypto capital of the world.”

#Binance, which lists #Trump’s #USD1, does not operate in the #US. Binance’s US subsidiary, Binance.us, does NOT list Trump’s #stablecoin.

$2.15B—USD1’s market cap as of Thurs, makes it the 49th most-popular #stablecoin, according to Binance.

Binance is the 2nd troubled #crypto #exchange to list USD1 this month. Trump’s stablecoin also began trading on #KuCoin, a Seychelles-based exchange that pleaded #guilty in Jan to operating an unlicensed money-transmitting business.

#Trump's sweeping tax-cut #bill includes provision to weaken #court powers

The tax-&-spending bill that would enact Trump's policy agenda includes a provision that would weaken the #power of US #judges to enforce #contempt when the #government defies court orders.

The 1-sentence provision in the 1,100-pg bill prevents #FederalCourts, including #SCOTUS, from enforcing contempt orders unless the plaintiffs have posted a monetary bond….

#law #Felon47
https://www.reuters.com/world/us/trumps-sweeping-tax-cut-bill-includes-provision-weaken-court-powers-2025-05-30/

The provision follows a White House memo in March that directed heads of govt agencies to request that plaintiffs post a bond if they are seeking an #injunction against an agency policy. The #Trump admin said the measure would deter *frivolous* lawsuits.

The Trump admin & the #House #Judiciary Cmte did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Trump has attacked #judges who ruled against his government but he has also *said* he would obey #SCOTUS [but hasn’t].

#law #Felon47 #autocracy

“No #court of the United States may enforce a #contempt citation for failure to comply with an injunction or temporary restraining order if no security was given when the injunction or order was issued," the bill says. It applies RETROACTIVELY.

"Security" refers to bonds that may be used in private litigation when one party seeks an injunction….If it turns out the injunction is reversed, the bond helps cover the defendant's losses.

But it rarely happens in cases against the govt.

US #immigration officials' #deportation of a woman to #Cuba last week, separating her from her 1-yr-old daughter, has drawn fresh attention to what critics say is the #Trump admin's willingness to split up families as part of its migration crackdown.

Heidy Sanchez, interviewed by Reuters Monday, said she was told she would be deported & separated from her still-breastfeeding daughter, a #US #citizen.

WTF

A federal appeals court on Thursday allowed #Trump to continue collecting #tariffs under an #EmergencyPowers law for now, as his admin appeals an order striking down the bulk of his signature set of economic policies.

The Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit granted an emergency motion from the Trump admin arguing a halt is “critical for the country’s national security.”[bull-fucking-shit]

Aww hell no

A #pipeline company is reviving plans to build TWO #NaturalGas pipelines into #NewYork, in a bet that the #Trump admin will be able to strong-arm #states into signing off on #energy projects.

#NY had blocked both pipelines over #environmental concerns. But Trump has made clear that he wants more #oil & #gas infrastructure, including in the Northeast, where pipelines had become so hard to build that companies had all but given up on them.

The #Trump admin’s filing giving #Harvard 30 days to respond w/evidence showing why the admin should not make good on its threat to bar it from enrolling #InternationalStudents appears to be a legal maneuver to delay, if not change, the ultimate outcome in the case.
Judge Burroughs had already temporarily stopped the federal govt from the move, & the sides were taking part in a hearing this morning to review extending her injunction.

#law #immigration #FirstAmendment #AcademicFreedom #education

The filing *appeared* to try to correct an obvious violation of the #law when it abruptly announced revocation of #Harvard’s #SEVP certification w/o proper process.
But the 30-day delay does little to address the core questions in the case.
The #Trump admin has sought extensive documentation from Harvard, requesting, among other things, coursework for EVERY international student & information on any #StudentVisa holder involved in misconduct or *illegal* activity.
