The U.S. Supreme Court has struck down President Donald Trump’s sweeping tariff policy in a 6–3 decision, ruling that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) does not authorize the president to impose tariffs without clear congressional approval. Writing for the majority, Chief Justice John G.

The National Parent Teacher Association (PTA) has decided not to renew its partnership with Meta amid ongoing legal challenges related to child safety. Yvonne Johnson, the president of the PTA, stated in a letter to members that the organization will not seek renewal funding from Meta for the PTA Connected initiative, which aims to educate families about digital safety. Johnson noted: "There has been heightened public scrutiny and legal cases involving companies including Meta regarding digital safety that have created new challenges." Meta is currently facing trials in California and New Mexico, where it is accused of misleading the public about the safety of its apps, including Instagram. Advocacy groups, such as Parents for Safe Online Spaces, have supported the PTA's decision, citing concerns over children's safety and well-being. The PTA and Meta had a funding relationship since 2017, which ended on December 31, 2025.

State Education Commissioner Anastasios Kamoutsas has issued a press release attacking the Florida Education Association (FEA), accusing the union of encouraging students to "walk out of class to protest" against the operations of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, claiming doing so "not only contradicts their claimed support for educators but also sends a harmful message about the role and purpose of public schools". The FEA has rejected claims that it has encouraged student walkouts, with President Andrew Spar criticising "inaccurate and misleading claims about the work of Florida educators".
