Trump Administration Reinstates Rainbow Pride Flag at Stonewall Monument Following Lawsuit

The Trump administration has agreed to resume flying the rainbow Pride flag at the Stonewall National Monument in New York City, reversing its previous decision to remove the banner in February.

The Interior Department and National Park Service have confirmed their intention to maintain the Pride flag at the monument, except for maintenance or practical purposes. The flag will be positioned below the U.S. flag and above the park service flag on the monument's flagpole. The Stonewall monument, established by President Barack Obama in 2016, commemorates the site of the 1969 police raid at the Stonewall Inn, which sparked the modern LGBTQ+ rights movement.

The Trump administration has agreed to resume flying the rainbow Pride flag at the Stonewall National Monument in New York City.

The agreement, which still requires judicial approval, stipulates that the Pride flag will be displayed alongside the U.S. and Park Service flags. The Stonewall National Monument, established in 2016, commemorates the site of the 1969 Stonewall riots, a pivotal event in the LGBTQ+ rights movement. The flag's removal had been seen as part of a broader effort by the Trump administration to alter or remove materials deemed divisive or partisan.

Federal Court Reviews Legal Challenge to President Trump's Global Tariffs

Federal Court Reviews Legal Challenge to President Trump's Global Tariffs

The U.S. Court of International Trade in New York is currently reviewing a legal challenge against President Trump's latest global tariffs. These tariffs, which are a key component of Trump's economic policy, were imposed under Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974 after the Supreme Court struck down his initial attempt using the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA). The Section 122 tariffs allow for a temporary imposition of up to 15% on global imports for 150 days, requiring congressional approval for extension. The court is assessing the legality of these tariffs, which have been contested by two dozen states and various businesses. The hearing involved intense questioning from a three-judge panel regarding the interpretation of terms like 'balance-of-payments deficits' as used in the Trade Act of 1974.
