The White House is planning on Friday to unveil President Donald Trump鈥檚 2026 budget, a sweeping framework that’s expected to propose steep reductions, if not a wholesale zeroing out, of various federal programs as part of his administration鈥檚 priorities.

Meanwhile, the Trump administration has asked the Supreme Court to strip temporary legal protections from 350,000 Venezuelans, potentially exposing them to being deported.

Here’s the latest:

Americans see more overreach from the president than from judges, an AP-NORC poll finds

As Trump faces significant pushback from federal judges, a new poll shows U.S. adults are more likely to believe the president is the one overstepping his power rather than the courts — although Republicans largely think the opposite.

According to a poll from , about half of Americans say the president has 鈥渢oo much鈥� power in the way government operates these days. On the other hand, Americans are more likely to believe the federal courts have an appropriate amount of authority. Only about 3 in 10 U.S. adults say that federal judges have 鈥渢oo much鈥� power.

Republicans see it the other way: Roughly half say the federal judiciary has too much power, and only about 2 in 10 say the president does.

The Justice Department ended a decades-old school desegregation order. Others are expected to fall

When the Justice Department lifted a school desegregation order in Louisiana this week, officials called its continued existence a 鈥渉istorical wrong鈥� and suggested that others dating to the Civil Rights Movement should be reconsidered.

The end of the 1966 legal agreement with Plaquemines Parish schools announced Tuesday shows the Trump administration is 鈥済etting America refocused on our bright future,鈥� Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon said.

Inside the Justice Department, officials appointed by Trump have expressed a desire to withdraw from other desegregation orders they see as an unnecessary burden on schools, according to a person familiar with the issue who was granted anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly.

Dozens of school districts across the South remain under court-enforced agreements dictating steps to work toward integration, decades after the Supreme Court struck down racial segregation in education. Some see the court orders鈥� endurance as a sign the government never eradicated segregation, while officials in Louisiana and at some schools see the orders as bygone relics that should be wiped away.

Trump signs executive order directing federal funding cuts to PBS and NPR

Trump on Thursday signed an executive order aiming to slash public subsidies to PBS and NPR as he alleged 鈥渂ias鈥� in the broadcasters鈥� reporting.

The order instructs the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and other federal agencies 鈥渢o cease Federal funding for NPR and PBS鈥� and further requires that that they work to root out indirect sources of public financing for the news organizations. The White House, in a social media posting announcing the signing, said the outlets 鈥渞eceive millions from taxpayers to spread radical, woke propaganda disguised as 鈥榥ews.鈥欌��

It鈥檚 the latest move by Trump and his administration to utilize federal powers to control or hamstring institutions whose actions or viewpoints he disagrees with. Since taking office, Trump has ousted leaders, placed staff on administrative leave and cut off hundreds of millions of dollars in funding to artists, libraries, museums, theaters and others, through takeovers of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts and the National Endowment for the Humanities.

Rubio takes on dual national security roles after embracing Trump鈥檚 鈥楢merica First鈥� vision

Rubio has been thrown into two top national security jobs at once as Trump presses forward with his top-to-bottom revamp of U.S. foreign policy, upending not only longstanding policies that the former Florida senator once supported but also the configuration of the executive branch.

Trump鈥檚 appointment of Rubio to temporarily replace Mike Waltz as national security adviser is the first major leadership shake-up of the nascent administration, but Waltz鈥檚 removal had been rumored for weeks 鈥� ever since he created a Signal group chat and accidentally added a journalist to the conversation where top national security officials shared sensitive military plans.

So, just over 100 days into his tenure as America鈥檚 top diplomat, Rubio now becomes just the second person to hold both positions. He follows only the late Henry Kissinger, who served as both secretary of state and national security adviser for two years under Presidents Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford in the 1970s.

Trump administration asks Supreme Court to strip legal protections from 350,000 Venezuelan migrants

The Justice Department asked the high court to put on hold a ruling from a federal judge in San Francisco that kept in place Temporary Protected Status for the Venezuelans that would have otherwise expired last month.

The status allows people already in the United States to live and work legally because their native countries are deemed unsafe for return due to natural disaster or civil strife.

A federal appeals court had earlier rejected the administration鈥檚 request.

Trump鈥檚 administration has moved aggressively to withdraw various protections that have allowed immigrants to remain in the country, including ending TPS for a total of 600,000 Venezuelans and 500,000 Haitians. TPS is granted in 18-month increments.

The emergency appeal to the high court came the same day a federal judge in Texas ruled illegal the administration鈥檚 efforts to deport Venezuelans under an 18th-century wartime law. The cases are not related.
