What the Supreme Court’s decision to strike down tariffs means for L.A.’s trade-dependent economy

The Supreme Court’s decision Friday to strike down the majority of tariffs imposed by President Trump could provide some relief to L. A.’s trade-reliant economy but only if they are not reimposed again through other means. The court’s 6-3 ruling that Trump didn’t have the authority to impose tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act rolled back levies that have upended international trade. “We’ve seen that the tariffs have a significant impact on our supply chain, on our manufacturers and especially on our port logistics and trade sector,” said Stephen Cheung, chief executive of the nonprofit Los Angeles County Economic Development Corp. “I think this decision will have a significant impact on the Los Angeles economy. However, it’s going to take a long time to unravel, so we’ll see specifically how everything is going to pan out,” he said. The tariffs dealt a blow to a large swath of businesses in Southern California and across the state, including farmers, automakers, home builders, tech companies and apparel retailers. MGA Entertainment, the Chatsworth maker of Bratz dolls, said a little more than half of its products are made in China, while hardware and lumber seller Anawalt in Malibu said the majority of its lumber comes from Canada and nearly all of its steel products are made in China. During a news conference Friday following the decision, Trump said that under other legal authorities he will impose a 10% global tariff and pursue additional levies, including a possible 30% tariff on foreign cars. “The Supreme Court’s ruling on tariffs is deeply disappointing, and I’m ashamed of certain members of the court absolutely ashamed,” Trump said. “They’re very unpatriotic and disloyal to our Constitution.” Friday’s high-court decision affects up to $170 billion in tariffs collected under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act of 1977, including 10% to 50% duties and penalties on China, Canada and Mexico. Whether importers who paid the tax can seek refunds was left to a lower court to decide. It’s estimated some $100 billion in tariffs were not affected by the decision. The ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach which handle nearly a third of the nation’s containerized cargo and are the primary trade gateway to Asia saw a surge of traffic the first half of last year as importers sought to get ahead of the tariffs, largely imposed in April. However, traffic tailed off the second half of the year, with the L. A. port expecting a single-digit decline in volume this year before Friday’s decision. The twin facilities form the largest ports complex in North America, supporting more than 200, 000 jobs and contributing $28 billion to the regional economy in 2022, according to a California Center for Jobs & the Economy report. The uncertainty surrounding the tariffs derives from the complexity of the tariffs themselves as well as the other legal options Trump has to impose them again. Mike Jacob, president of the Pacific Merchant Shipping Assn., which represents ocean carriers, marine terminal operators and others in the industry, said the tendency is to think of the tariffs as uniform. “It was different rates for different countries. That was compounded by different rates for different commodities. And there’s a lot of changes that have occurred with specific commodities,” he said. “So it’s almost impossible to take a broad brush and say, here’s what we expect to happen except to say that it’s still a pretty unsettled space.” In seeking to impose a 10% global tariff, Trump would be relying on a provision of the Trade Act of 1974, while his ability to pursue additional levies would rely on other sections of that act and another law. Economist Jock O’Connell, international trade advisor at L. A.’s Beacon Economics, said that Trump may have authority to impose the 10% global tariffs, but additional levies would involve trade authorities. “That would be a cumbersome process. The tariffs have to be more specifically framed and the subject of an investigation,” he said. Also complicating the process are trade deals the U. S. has been negotiating with foreign countries based on the tariffs. O’Connell expects they will seek to renegotiate them. “They’re likely to come back to the table and say, ‘Well, you don’t have the authority to impose these,’” he said. Gene Seroka, executive director of the Port of Los Angeles, said importers are facing tough decisions right now, given that any ocean carrier leaving an Asian port today would not be subject to the tariffs that were struck down. “That executive is asking: ‘Are my commodities now exempt from this tariff?’ If the answer is yes, ‘Can I buy more of that product and get it shipped while there are no tariffs?’” he said. Those decisions would revolve around such factors as the availability of space on the vessel and local warehouses, as well as trucking services, he said. Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody’s Analytics, said the decision should be good news for the larger U. S. economy and businesses on the “front line” of the trade wars, such as transportation, distribution, agriculture and retail. “If the president lets the Supreme Court decision stand and doesn’t try to replace the tariffs, that’s a plus for the economy but that’s not what’s going to happen,” he said.

CBS’s Bari Weiss pulls out of UCLA lecture

UCLA has canceled an upcoming lecture featuring CBS News chief Bari Weiss. Weiss was scheduled to give the annual Daniel Pearl Memorial lecture on Feb. 27, about “The Future of Journalism.” But according to the university, the program will not move forward as scheduled, after Weiss’ team withdrew from the event. A source familiar with the UCLA program said the lecture was canceled due to security concerns from Weiss, despite the public university offering to obtain additional security for the event, the source said. The Daniel Pearl Memorial lecture series honors the late journalist and is considered the capstone of the university’s Burkle Center for International Relations. Previous speakers include journalists Jake Tapper, Anderson Cooper and Bob Woodward. According to the source, several employees at both the Burkle Center and the International Institute expressed opposition to Weiss speaking on campus. The university was also expecting a large number of students to protest the event. Neither Weiss nor CBS immediately responded to a request for comment. Weiss founded the media company, The Free Press, which was purchased in October by Paramount, CBS’ parent company. Following the $150 million purchase, Weiss was installed as editor-in-chief of CBS News. Two months after taking on the new role, Weiss made the widely panned decision to pull a “60 Minutes” episode that examined the alleged abuse of deportees sent from the U. S. to an El Salvador prison. The decision earned Weiss heavy criticism and accusations that the move was politically motivated.

Four new astronauts arrive at the ISS to replace NASA’s evacuated crew

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla The International Space Station returned to full strength with Saturday’s arrival of four new astronauts to replace colleagues who bailed early because of health concerns. SpaceX delivered the U. S., French and Russian astronauts a day after launching them from Cape Canaveral. Last month’s medical evacuation was NASA’s first in 65 years of human spaceflight. One of four astronauts launched by SpaceX last summer suffered what officials described as a serious health issue, prompting their hasty return. That left only three crew members to keep the place running one American and two Russians prompting NASA to pause spacewalks and trim research. Moving in for eight to nine months are NASA’s Jessica Meir and Jack Hathaway, France’s Sophie Adenot and Russia’s Andrei Fedyaev. Meir, a marine biologist, and Fedyaev, a former military pilot, have lived up there before. During her first station visit in 2019, Meir took part in the first all-female spacewalk. Adenot, a military helicopter pilot, is only the second French woman to fly in space. Hathaway is a captain in the U. S. Navy. NASA has refused to divulge the identity of the astronaut who fell ill in orbit on Jan. 7 or explain what happened, citing medical privacy. The ailing astronaut and three others returned to Earth more than a month sooner than planned. They spent their first night back on Earth at the hospital before returning to Houston. The space agency said it did not alter its preflight medical checks for their replacements. ___ The Associated Press Health and Science Department receives support from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute’s Department of Science Education and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.

JetBlue lounge at Logan Airport will make its debut this summer

A long-awaited JetBlue airport lounge is finally coming to Boston later this year. The lounge, known as BlueHouse BOS, will be located in Terminal C of Logan International Airport near gate C23, a JetBlue spokesperson told Boston.com.

The lounge was first announced in September 2024, alongside a similar lounge at New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport, which opened in December 2025. The Logan lounge will feature residential amenities like its JFK counterpart but will be “uniquely Boston” in its art, design, food options, and experiences, according to the spokesperson.

Scheduled to open this summer, more details about the unique Boston experiences offered at BlueHouse BOS will be released closer to the launch date.

JetBlue is Logan Airport’s largest carrier, and the Boston lounge will be nearly 40 percent larger than the New York location, measuring 11,000 square feet compared to 8,000 square feet in JFK.

The airline has noted that the new lounges are designed to meet a growing demand for premium travel options. “Customers have asked for a JetBlue lounge for years and we can’t wait to unveil our take in New York and Boston,” said Marty St. George, president of JetBlue, in a 2024 statement.

He added, “Lounges have become an essential offering for the growing numbers of customers seeking premium experiences, and JetBlue’s lounges will further boost the value of our TrueBlue loyalty program as we expand our portfolio of JetBlue credit cards.”

Passengers visiting BlueHouse BOS will be able to relax with complimentary food and beverages, along with a full-service bar. The lounge will also offer plenty of seating areas, including private workspaces equipped with free WiFi, providing a comfortable environment for both relaxation and productivity.

Oscar Short Films Shortlists Include Pics Supported By Emma Thompson, Domhnall Gleeson, Jennifer Lewis, Miriam Margoyles and Zar Amir

The 2026 Oscars shortlist was revealed Tuesday, and the Live Action Shorts and Animated Short categories showcase a taste for the fantastical, the existential, and the courage it takes to face great fear. Each short uniquely highlights the endurance of the human spirit when confronted with prejudice, trauma, or supernatural elements beyond themselves.

### Notable Shorts on the 2026 Oscars Shortlist

Among the 15 dedicated shortlist slots, several standout films have made their mark.

#### A Friend of Dorothy
Lee Knight’s *A Friend of Dorothy* centers on an unlikely duo: JJ (Alistair Nwachukwu), a queer high schooler with a hidden talent for theater, and Dorothy (Miriam Margolyes), an older woman seeking companionship as she faces illness. Together, they strike up an endearing and mutually beneficial friendship. Produced by Stephen Daldry and Sonia Friedman, the short has garnered multiple awards at various festivals, including Indie Shorts Awards Cannes, HollyShorts London and Los Angeles, and OUTshine Film Festival.

#### The Quinta’s Ghost
A dose of existential storytelling arrives from Spain and Ireland in James A. Castillo’s *The Quinta’s Ghost*. This gothic-inspired animation offers a haunting glimpse into the final years of Spanish painter Francisco de Goya, tormented by demons from his past that he tries to exorcise through dark paintings on his villa’s walls. The film has won two Méliès d’Argent awards at the Sitges Film Festival and Best Art Direction at the Almería International Film Festival.

#### Retirement Plan
Director John Kelly’s *Retirement Plan* blends humor with reflections on mortality. The seven-minute short follows Ray (Domhnall Gleeson), a man approaching retirement who daydreams about the things he wants to accomplish—cleaning off his desktop, attending an orgy, and catching up on a decade’s worth of unread books. The film has earned the Grand Jury Award and Audience Award at SXSW, along with prizes from the Palm Springs International ShortFest, Indy Shorts International Film Festival, and Newport Beach Film Festival.

#### Éiru, The Girl Who Cried Pearls & The Pearl Comb
Bringing mysticism and folklore to the shortlist are several animated shorts:
– *Éiru* by Giovanna Ferrari is a uniquely 2D animated tale inspired by ancient Celtic folklore. It follows a brave young female warrior on a quest to save her village from drought.
– *The Girl Who Cried Pearls* by Maciek Szczerbowski and Chris Lavis is a morality fable questioning whether even the purest hearts remain safe from corruption in the pursuit of love and social standing.
– *The Pearl Comb* by Ali Cook tells the story of a humble medicine woman in late 1800s Cornwall. When her divine powers attract suspicion, the mysterious source of her healing is at risk of exposure.

### Realism, Humor, and Social Commentary

The shortlist also features shorts grounded in varying degrees of reality, exploring natural human rhythms, the passion of desire, and the effects of untreated mental health crises.

#### Jane Austen’s Period Drama
Praised by Dame Emma Thompson, *Jane Austen’s Period Drama*, directed by Julia Aks and Steve Pinder, is a laugh-out-loud Regency-era comedy. The film follows Ms. Estrogenia (Aks) who unexpectedly gets her period during a marriage proposal. Her suitor, Mr. Dickley (Ta’imua), mistakes the blood for a grievous wound, leading to a series of comical—yet meaningful—moments that challenge the stigma around menstruation. Thompson, who serves as the film’s Executive Menstrual Advisor, called it a “bravely, revolutionarily funny thing to do” in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter. The short has won awards at HollyShorts Comedy Film Festival, Aspen Shortsfest, and Indy Shorts International Film Festival.

#### Two People Exchanging Saliva
Set in a dystopian black-and-white world crafted by Alexandre Singh and Natalie Musteata, *Two People Exchanging Saliva* imagines a society where people pay for goods with bodily harm, and kissing is punishable by death. Two women (Zar Amir and Luàna Bajrami) navigate their mutual attraction while avoiding an oppressive regime. It won Best Drama Short at Out on Film in Atlanta, as well as the Canal+ and Audience Awards at the Clermont-Ferrand Short Film Festival.

#### Ado
Sam Henderson’s *Ado* addresses escalating gun violence through the lens of an overworked, underpaid teacher (Jennifer Lewis). While rehearsing *Much Ado About Nothing* with her young class, a disgruntled former student bursts in with a gun. The emotionally stirring short won awards at the Martha’s Vineyard African American Film Festival, BronzeLens Film Festival Atlanta, and Cleveland International Film Festival.

These films represent just a few highlights from this year’s well-deserved shortlist contenders.

National Guards suspected shooter Rahmanullah Lakanwal’s naked photo goes viral; Afghan national reportedly overstayed his visa after entering US under Biden administration

Economic Times ^ | November 26, 2025 | Mukesh Thapliyal Posted on by Morgana Rahmanullah Lakanwal, a 29-year-old Afghan national who reportedly entered the US in 2021 under then-President Joe Biden’s ‘Operation Allies Welcome’ and later overstayed his visa, has become the focus of a possible act of international terrorism. A viral photo shows him almost naked as first responders load him into an ambulance after the attack. Investigators say he allegedly ambushed two National Guard members near the White House. The shooting left both guards critically injured, and with the motive still unknown, Lakanwal’s background and actions have drawn intense public and political scrutiny. 1 posted on by Morgana To: Morgana I’d like to think our guys stripped his clothes off for the purpose of public humiliation. 2 posted on by reasonisfaith (What are the personal implications if the Resurrection of Christ is a true event in history?)

Why is UA enrollment down?

Boasting palm trees, year-round desert heat and world-class research initiatives, the University of Arizona has been sought out by out-of-state, in-state and international students alike. However, the UA has witnessed a significant decrease in enrollment for the 2025-2026 school year due to a variety of factors. In 2024, UA said there were 56, 544 students, with 45, 025 being undergraduates and 11, 519 being graduate students. “Total enrollment is 54, 384, including 43, 294 undergraduates and 11, 090 graduate students,” the UA said in a statement this year. Each category experienced a noticeable decline. International students under the Trump Administration Universities across the country have faced a decrease in enrollment, largely due to the lack of international students coming to the United States under the Trump Administration. “Arizona International enrollment declined slightly to about 3, 309 students following a challenging year for students unable to obtain U. S. visas,” the UA said in this year’s fall census. President Donald Trump has issued multiple executive orders, such as Executive Order No. 14161 titled Protecting the United States from Foreign Terrorists and Other National Security and Public Safety Threats. This order has significantly expanded the screening and vetting process that international students have to undergo to study in the US. Many students now struggle to obtain student visas, as the administration is delaying and reworking the interview process. Additionally, students have difficulty obtaining appointments at embassies and consulates. Following E. O. 14161, Trump issued a presidential proclamation restricting and limiting the entry of people from 12 countries and partially restricting the entry of people from seven more nations. Additionally, the administration is working to crack down on the duration of these visas, strictly limiting them to 4 years. This requires students to reapply for new visas in order to complete longer programs and comes with yet another wave of uncertainty. Along with the obstacles of simply obtaining a student visa, many international students are discouraged from coming to the United States with the growing risks of deportation even after arrival. This is in light of reports of many students and faculty across the country having their visas revoked for minor offenses. UA budgetary concerns International students and out-of-state students attending UA and other institutions often pay full or increased tuition. Therefore, this lack of international enrollment may contribute to increased budgetary issues for the UA and other universities across the country. It was recently announced that UA’s budget was officially balanced after experiencing a $177 million deficit in 2023. The process of balancing this budget significantly impacted the amount of merit-based aid that was offered to out-of-state students in this past admissions cycle. “Arizona residents make up 62. 5% of the first-year class, up from 52. 7% in 2024,” UA enrollment said in this year’s census. In 2023, UA’s financial action plan also outlined actions implemented in order to address the shortfall, one of these actions being to “rebalance undergraduate non-resident merit aid for new students and eliminate the tuition guarantee in fall 2025 for new students.” New admissions process “The first-year class includes 7, 506 students, returning to traditional enrollment levels after record cohorts between 2022 and 2024,” UA enrollment said this fall. The UA’s record-breaking class was made up of 9, 314 first-year students in 2024, with 52. 7% being in-state, 44% being out-of-state and 3. 3% being international students. The university reported it will not have a rolling admissions process for the upcoming 2025-2026 admissions cycle. This is the first year the university has not practiced rolling admissions and this could potentially impact the coming enrollment trends. UA’s new Early Action admission deadline encourages prospective students to apply before Nov. 1 to be considered for priority admission, merit-based scholarships and admission to W. A. Franke Honors College.

EU plans €51M Choose Europe call for research careers in 2027

The European Commission plans to launch a €51. 25 million call in 2027 as part of the Choose Europe initiative, which is intended to make the continent a more attractive place to pursue a career in research. The Commission launched a €22. 5 million pilot call in October, which will close on December 3, but a draft 2026-27 work programme for the Marie Skłodowska Curie Actions (MSCA), Horizon Europe’s researcher training scheme, has revealed plans to extend the support. The Choose Europe initiative, announced with great pomp earlier this year, aims to tackle brain drain and the precarity of research careers by co-funding the recruitment of postdoctoral researchers for up to five years. EU funding will cover the positions for two to three years, while the host institutions must provide funding for an additional two years. Each programme that receives funding must recruit a minimum of three researchers. While the research community welcomed the initial pilot, there have been concerns that national cuts to research budgets in several EU countries could make it difficult for research organisations to cough up their share of the money. The draft call offers universities more flexibility by allowing the EU funding to cover either the first or second phase of the programme, although the basic issue remains. Attracting foreign talent A key priority is to attract international talent to Europe, particularly as researchers from around the world find fewer opportunities than before in the US. Recruited researchers can be of any nationality and must not have resided or carried out their main work or studies in the country of the recruiting institution for more than 12 months in the previous three years. The draft work programme gives researchers the possibility of implementing their MSCA-backed project on a part-time basis, for personal, family or professional reasons, which could benefit international scientists who still have family ties in their home country. Maria Leptin, president of the European Research Council, recently suggested that Europe should offer scientists a “haven,” in a “non-selfish manner,” allowing them to spend only half their time in Europe if needed. Related articles US researchers: Choose Europe, but part-time ERC to introduce seven-year €7 million ‘super grants’ in 2026 Choose Europe talent pilot receives lukewarm welcome A related goal is to improve working conditions and long-term prospects for researchers in Europe. Institutions applying for support will be evaluated partly on the competitiveness of the salaries and career development opportunities offered as part of their programme, as well as the quality of long-term career prospects beyond the duration of the fellowship. Supported programmes can be in any research discipline, despite indications from Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, at a Choose Europe launch event in May, that support beyond the pilot phase would privilege “frontier fields like artificial intelligence.” The MSCA calls are part of a broader €500 million package to make Europe “a magnet for researchers,” including seven-year “super grants” worth up to €7 million under the European Research Council.

Millwall vs Sheffield Wednesday Prediction and Betting Tips | November 26th 2025

Millwall will host Sheffield Wednesday at The Den on Wednesday in another round of the 2025-26 EFL Championship campaign. The home side have had an overall positive season but have lost their way in recent games and have now dropped out of the promotion playoff spots. They suffered a disappointing 3-1 defeat to Portsmouth upon returning from the international break last weekend, falling 2-0 behind before a red card to Joe Bryan midway through the second half all but ended their chances of mounting a comeback. Thanks for the submission! Sheffield Wednesday, meanwhile, have endured a woeful campaign and appear to be on borrowed time in the second tier as they continue to reel from the heavy points deduction handed to them last month. The Owls suffered a 3-0 defeat to rivals Sheffield United in the Steel City derby on Sunday and could have few complaints about the result after failing to register a single shot on target throughout the contest. They remain rock-bottom in the Championship table with -4 points and will be desperate for a positive result on Wednesday to lift the mood around the club. Millwall vs Sheffield Wednesday Head-to-Head and Key Numbers There have been 55 meetings between Millwall and Wednesday. The hosts have won 18 of those games while the visitors have won two more. There have been 17 draws between the two teams including their most recent matchup which ended 2-2. The hosts have lost just one of their last nine games in this fixture. Wednesday have the worst offensive and defensive records in the English second tier this season with 12 goals scored and 32 conceded in 16 games. Millwall have scored 18 goals in the Championship this term, the fewest of any team in the top half of the table. Millwall vs Sheffield Wednesday Prediction The Lions head into the midweek clash on a four-game winless streak after winning each of their previous four. They are, however, undefeated in their last four home matches and are firm favourites for Wednesday’s game. The Owls have lost their last two games and are winless in their last 10. They have the joint-worst away record in the division so far and could lose this one. Prediction: Millwall 2-1 Sheffield Wednesday Millwall vs Sheffield Wednesday Betting Tips Tip 1 Result: Millwall Tip 2 Goals Over/under 2. 5 Over 2. 5 goals (Four of the last five matches between the two teams have produced more than 2. 5 goals) Tip 3 Both teams to score: YES (Both sides have found the back of the net in three of the hosts’ last four matches).
