The Supreme Court handed the Trump administration three successive wins this week, albeit temporary ones. On Tuesday, the justices halted a lower court’s order to rehire thousands of temporary federal workers. And on Monday, the justices paved the way for the White House to resume deportations of alleged foreign gang members using a wartime statute. That decision came just hours after Chief Justice John Roberts paused a deadline to return a Salvadoran man who was wrongly deported. Leah Litman, co-host of Crooked’s legal podcast ‘Strict Scrutiny,’ tells us everything we need to know about the court’s decisions. And in headlines: Elon Musk and White House Trade Adviser Peter Navarro escalated their public fight over tariffs, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy said he’ll direct the CDC to stop recommending fluoride in drinking water, and a federal judge ordered the Trump administration to restore the Associated Press’ access to the White House.

  • It's Wednesday, April 9th.

  • I'm Jane Costin, and this is What A Day, the show that would like a direwolf puppy.

  • Yes, I know that the de-extinct puppies are not actually direwolves,

  • but gray wolves that have had part of the genome change to look like direwolves.

  • And I do not care.

  • Gimme that puppy.

  • On today's show,

  • Elon Musk and President Donald Trump's top trade advisor are fighting on the internet like real masculine men.

  • And a judge orders the White House to allow the Associated Press back in the building.

  • But let's start with the courts and the United States Supreme Court.

  • Over the last few days, the justices handed the Trump administration a few major wins.

  • But in a weird, specific way.

  • Kind of a, you can't put a knife on that side of your plate at the dinner table,

  • but your dinner table is on the Titanic thing.

  • On Monday,

  • Chief Justice John Roberts paused a deadline set by a lower court to return a Salvadoran man who had been wrongly deported back to his home country.

  • And the Supreme Court ruled that the White House could resume deportations of alleged members of the Venezuelan gang,

  • Tren de Agua, to El Salvador, under the centuries-old Alien Enemies Act.

  • But the actual ruling was fairly narrow and didn't focus on the Alien Enemies Act at all.

  • Instead, despite what you may have heard from President Trump, the ruling focused on procedure.
