Supreme Court allows Trump to lay off nearly 1,400 Education Department employees

The Supreme Court is allowing President Donald Trump to put his plan to dismantle the Education Department back on track and go through with laying off nearly 1,400 employees. With the three liberal justices in dissent, the court on Monday paused an order from U.S. District Judge Myong Joun in Boston, who issued a preliminary injunction reversing the layoffs and calling into question the broader plan.

A NewsNation segment interview with Democratic National Committee Vice Chair Malcolm Kenyatta was abruptly cancelled after the show’s host was left unsatisfied with the Pennsylvania elected official’s response to his question about New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani.
