'Feels like an earthquake': Trump threatens elderly care after Supreme Court ruling

President Donald Trump is using powers enabled by a recent Supreme Court decision to force thousands out of jobs, and it's the elderly who could face "dire consequences" of his actions.Last month, the court ruled in Mullin v. Doe that federal law bars judges from reviewing presidential decisions on Temporary Protected Status — meaning no court can stop Trump from terminating it, according to CBS News.The ruling's mandate took effect Monday, ending TPS for an estimated 348,000 Haitians — including 13,000 nursing assistants and 8,000 caregivers, Princeton University research fellow Phillip Connor found.A peer-reviewed study in The Gerontologist found that staffing shortages have "dire consequences for residents" of nursing homes and long-term care facilities, where certified nursing assistants provide up to 90% of direct resident care. When staffing levels fall short, the study warned, "residents are at elevated risk for neglect and harm" — including infection and rehospitalization.LeadingAge, which represents nursing home providers, said facilities face closing units or turning away new residents entirely until vacancies are filled.For Haitian communities across the country, the human cost is already being felt. "Once again our community members find themselves in a state of extreme trauma, fear and terror. One of them told me it feels like a tsunami or an earthquake with nonstop aftershocks," Guerline Jozef, executive director of the Haitian Bridge Alliance, told CBS News.The ruling that handed Trump this authority reversed a lower court that had found the TPS termination was "in part" rooted in "racial animus." The Supreme Court's majority overrode that finding, ruling that presidential TPS decisions are not subject to judicial review. Department of Homeland Security General Counsel James Percival celebrated on X, writing, "The T in TPS stands for TEMPORARY."White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson called it "a tremendous win," telling Fox News the ruling affirmed that TPS "was never intended to be a pathway to permanent status."DHS told CBS News it was "closing time," and offered departing Haitians a $2,600 check and a free flight home.A Senate bill that would have extended TPS protections for three years failed this week. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce had urged senators to act, warning of "significant disruption to America's work force."Jozef said the fear has reached into the smallest corners of family life."Her little girl doesn't even want to go to school for fear of coming home and not finding her mother," she said.

Newly discovered invoice catches Trump aide in huge Epstein lie — report

Newly discovered invoice catches Trump aide in huge Epstein lie — report

Jeffrey Epstein's relationship with a firm once run by Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick may date back 11 years further than previously known, according to a newly unearthed document flagged by independent journalist Kaitlyn Pierce, who writes under the name Kait Justice.Lutnick told The New York Post last year that he had cut off all ties with Epstein in 2005, but the Justice Department's release of Epstein-related files quickly contradicted that claim. The files showed Lutnick visited Epstein's private island in 2012 and that the two maintained contact through at least 2018.Lutnick and Epstein were also discovered to have been “in business together as recently as 2014,” per CBS News, with the two of them both signing onto a deal to acquire stakes in a now-defunct technology company called Adfin. Lutnick was explicitly asked by the House Oversight Committee in May whether he was aware of any other business dealings between Epstein and Cantor Fitzgerald, the financial services firm he once ran before handing off control to his sons after joining the Trump administration. Lutnick said, “to the best of my recollection,” there were no other business dealings between Epstein and Cantor.Justice, while searching through millions of Epstein-related files, stumbled upon a telling FedEx invoice that she suggested may undercut that claim.“I did not expect to find Epstein in Cantor’s records,” Justice wrote in a report published Monday on her Substack.The invoice is dated July 27, 2001, and reveals that Darren Indyke – once Epstein’s personal lawyer – had sent an overnight envelope from Epstein’s office in New York City, New York, to a Robert F. Mace at Cantor Fitzgerald Securities, located on the 104th floor of the One World Trade Center. Mace was Cantor’s employment lawyer, and would be killed in the 9/11 attacks just 53 days after being sent the envelope from Epstein.“The invoice clearly doesn’t tell us what the envelope contained, but it does place Epstein’s office in direct contact with Lutnick’s firm 11 years before the relationship Lutnick described to Congress supposedly began,” Justice wrote. “Cantor’s customer and trading records could show whether Epstein or any of his companies had an account there, what they bought or sold through the firm and when the relationship actually began.”Justice uncovered another Epstein-related correspondence when sifting through Cantor’s history: a 2009 email to Epstein with a message attributed to a Rich Barnett.“HOward [sic] Lutnick would like to speak to you...one of his employees asked me if Howard could have your number so he may call you,” the emailed message reads. “Would you like me to give him your number? They did not give me Howard's number....”Justice could not verify the identity of Barnett, though his identity appeared to cause confusion during the House Oversight Committee’s interview of Lutnick.“Barnett makes the story stranger because no one can seem to agree about whom he worked for. When congressional investigators showed Lutnick the 2009 message, he said Barnett worked for him at Cantor, was ‘on my staff’ and handled construction matters,” Justice wrote. “Committee counsel later described Barnett as an Epstein employee. Epstein’s records establish Barnett’s employment on that side, but the public transcript does not show investigators producing Cantor payroll, contracts or payment records that could determine whether Barnett also worked for Lutnick or Cantor.”

Trump tries to sell an economy voters aren't buying

President Trump's economic sales pitch is colliding with voters' sour moods on high prices and the economy as the 2026 midterms loom.Why it matters: Economic frustration is giving Democrats an opening on the issue that often decides elections — and could help them erase Republicans' narrow congressional majorities in November.Trump has previously dismissed economic concerns, assuring voters that prices will come down and that affordability is an issue made up by political rivals to hurt his administration and the GOP. But Trump's speech in Michigan is meant to tout the administration's economic policies — though they aren't sitting particularly well with voters. The White House didn't respond to Axios' request for comment.By the numbers: Roughly 35% of Americans approve of Trump's handling of the economy, whereas 65% disapprove, per a CBS News/YouGov poll of 2,193 adults conducted July 22-24.About 29% approve of Trump's handling of inflation, while 71% disapprove.Only 24% of Americans view the economy as excellent or good under the Trump administration this year, down 8 percentage points from July 2025, when 32% viewed the economy as good, according to a Fox News poll conducted July 17-20.Zoom in: But the economy remains top of mind for voters, with 29% telling Pew Research Center that they want candidates in their home district to focus more on it than anything else this election cycle.Notably, neither party has an advantage down ballot on their approach to economic issues. 37% told Pew they most agree with the Democratic Party, while 36% said Republicans.According to a Fox News poll, 54% feel Democrats would do better with the economy compared to 45% who felt the same about Republicans. What we're watching: Who has the winning message for voters come November. Currently, Democrats have an 11-point advantage (68% to 57%) over Republicans regarding enthusiasm for voters to go to the polls, followed by Independents at 41%. Independent voters will remain a key voting bloc and are essential to win over for whichever party ultimately controls Congress beginning next year. Go deeper: Trump's economic polling is in freefall
