AXIOS (Courtenay Brown) - Supreme Court says Trump global tariffs are illegal
The Supreme Court struck down a suite of President Trump's tariffs on Friday, a historic blow to the administration's economic agenda. The big picture: In a rare rebuke of Trump's power, the nation's highest court said many of the administration's tariffs were illegal. The 6-3 ruling sets a new boundary for what policies presidents can impose without congressional approval. What they're saying: "[T]he Government reads IEEPA to give the President power to unilaterally impose unbounded tariffs and change them at will. That view would represent a transformative expansion of the President's authority over tariff policy," the ruling says, referring to the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. Threat level: The ruling might give way…

AXIOS (Ben Geman) - Why filling up the gas tank will soon get more expensive
Data: EIA ; Chart: Axios Visuals The cost to fill up your car will probably climb soon — and the oil price spike over Iran tensions is only one reason. Why it matters: Gasoline is the most visible energy expense for many people. That makes it politically important, too. - President Trump is fond of touting what are now pretty modest prices in much of the country. The big picture: Oil prices are jumping this week as traders digest the risk that a U.S. strike on Iran could disrupt supply. - That will eventually filter down to retail gasoline. The intrigue: Other, more mundane forces are also going to start putting upward pressure on gasoline, fuel market analysts say. - Refiners will soon start the switch to so-called summer blends,…
AXIOS (Maria Curi) - AI's populist moment
AI has hit the campaign trail, with candidates in both parties casting it as a fight over jobs and corporate power. Why it matters: AI is emerging as a stand-in for kitchen-table concerns like paychecks, power bills and the future of the economy. - Democrats and Republicans at the state level are testing whether anti-Big Tech messaging can compete with an industry pouring billions into AI infrastructure and political influence. Driving the news: Several Democrats this cycle are echoing Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and his critique of concentrated tech power. - Some Republicans are adopting their own version, focusing on workforce disruption, energy costs and anger over tech companies. Between the lines: The rhetoric may differ, but the…
AXIOS (Delano Massey) - How Jesse Jackson used the South to reshape Democratic politics
Rev. Jesse Jackson 's influence in the South wasn't just symbolic — it reshaped how political power is allocated in the Democratic Party, says Emory political scientist Andra Gillespie. Why it matters: Cities from Cleveland to San Francisco are recalling Jackson's national imprint after his death on Tuesday. He leveraged Southern Black voters to gain bargaining power that changed Democratic primary rules — shifts that still shape presidential contests today. The big picture: Jackson's career reflected a belief that transforming political and economic power in the Southern states could reshape national politics, and Atlanta was uniquely positioned to amplify that effort. - Jackson will be lying in state at Rainbow PUSH Coalition…
