Twenty-Five States Sue Trump Administration Over Global Tariffs

This is a routine, institution-affirming legal check—states using courts to contest executive tariff authority, which is the system functioning as designed rather than a constitutional breach. The underlying separation-of-powers concern (executive circumventing Congress on trade policy) gives modest A-score weight, but severity/reversibility are low since courts can and likely will resolve it. It generates minimal viral or distraction value, yielding low scores on both scales.
