Lawyers for the Trump administration filed an emergency appeal to the Supreme Court on Tuesday night asking the justices to halt a lower court injunction and allow it to freeze billions in foreign aid spending previously allocated by Congress kicking the issue of USAID funding back to the high court for the second time in roughly six months.At issue is nearly $12 billion in funding allocated to the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), and owed by the end of the fiscal year in September. The majority of those funds were axed by President Donald Trump almost immediately after taking office, under the broader mantle of slashing foreign aid and eliminating so-called "waste, fraud, and abuse." U.S. Solicitor General D. John Sauer told the Supreme Court in an emergency filing Tuesday that, absent intervention from the high court, the Trump administration would be forced to "rapidly obligate some $12 billion in foreign-aid funds" owed by September 30, or the end of the fiscal year.SCOTUS RULES ON NEARLY $2 BILLION IN FROZEN USAID PAYMENTSThose payments have been held up in court for months, after President Donald Trump signed an executive order on his first day back in office in January seeking to block nearly all foreign aid spending, as part of his administrations broader crackdown on waste, fraud, and abuse.That order was blocked by a federal judge in D.C. earlier this year. That judge, U.S. District Judge Amir Ali, ordered the Trump administration to resume payments on billions of dollars in funding for USAID projects that were previously approved by Congress.That order was overturned this month by the U.S. District Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, which ruled 2-1 to vacate the lower court injunction.TRUMP TEMPORARILY THWARTED IN DOGE MISSION TO END USAIDThe appeals court partly vacated Judge Ali's injunction, rejecting a request from foreign aid groups that had sought to restore the grant payments. The 2-1 majority also ruled that the plaintiffs failed to show Trump had acted "plainly" in excess of his executive branch authorities.Writing for the majority, Judge Karen L. Henderson, a President George H.W. Bush appointee, said that the plaintiffs lacked the proper cause of action to sue the Trump administration over its decision to withhold the funds, or what is known as impoundment.But the appeals court has not yet issued a mandate to enforce that ruling meaning that, for now, the judge's order, and the payment schedule he previously laid out remains in place.FEDERAL JUDGE ORDERS TRUMP ADMINISTRATION TO PAY 'UNLAWFULLY' RESTRICTED USAID FUNDSSauer argued in the emergency Supreme Court appeal that the foreign aid groups, which sued the Trump administration this year in order to claw back some of the grant money, have no legal authority to challenge the executive branch on the matter, which is technically under the legal jurisdiction of the Impoundment Control Act."Congress did not upset the delicate interbranch balance by allowing for unlimited, unconstrained private suits," Sauer wrote. "Any lingering dispute about the proper disposition of funds that the President seeks to rescind shortly before they expire should be left to the political branches, not effectively prejudged by the district court."Plaintiffs, for their part, have argued that the executive branch lacks the authority to unilaterally withhold already-appropriated funds, under the Impoundment Control Act (ICA), as well as the Administrative Procedure Act.The Supreme Court previously ruled 5-4.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has authorized COVID-19 vaccines for the fall but only for high-risk groups.Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy announced the FDAs most recent actions on Wednesday in a post on X."I promised 4 things," Kennedy wrote. "1. to end covid vaccine mandates; 2. to keep vaccines available to people who want them, especially the vulnerable; 3. to demand placebo-controlled trials from companies; 4. to end the emergency."LARGEST MEASLES OUTBREAK IN US IS OFFICIALLY OVER, HEALTH OFFICIALS SAY"In a series of FDA actions today we accomplished all four goals."In the post, RFK stated that the FDA has issued "marketing authorization" for high-risk groups for the following vaccines: Moderna (6 months and older), Pfizer (5 years and older) and Novavax (12 and up)."These vaccines are available for all patients who choose them after consulting with their doctors," RFK wrote.High-risk groups include older adults over 65 and those who are more likely to develop severe COVID illness.MEDICAL GROUP GOES AGAINST CDC, RECOMMENDS COVID SHOTS FOR YOUNG KIDSOn its website, the CDC lists conditions that may increase the risk of severe COVID, including asthma, cancer, heart conditions, cerebrovascular disease, diabetes, dementia, mood disorders, obesity, Parkinsons, and chronic disease of the lungs, liver or kidneys, among many others.RFK also announced that the emergency use authorizations for COVID vaccines have been rescinded."The American people demanded science, safety, and common sense," RFK went on. "This framework delivers all three."Before this change, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention had recommended the vaccine for all Americans 6 months and older.In May 2025, Kennedy announced that COVID-19 vaccines would be removed from the CDCs routine immunization schedule for healthy children andpregnant women.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR HEALTH NEWSLETTERInstead of a universal recommendation, the CDCs updated guidance calls for "shared clinical decision-making," in which parents and doctors discuss the benefits and risks of vaccination for each individual case.However, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) still includes it in its annual immunization schedule, as Fox News Digital previously reported.For more Health articles, visitwww.foxnews.com/health"It should be a conversation between the pediatrician, patient and parent, and should depend on the childs health as well as the current state of COVID," Dr. Marc Siegel, Fox News senior medical analyst, previously told Fox News Digital.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice has officially been suspended six games for violating the NFLs personal conduct policy.The suspension stems from his two third-degree felony charges from a March 2024 crash on a Dallas highway. Rice was charged with collision involving serious bodily injury and racing on a highway causing bodily injury, which he pleaded guilty to last month.Rice is set to miss the teams first six games of the year, starting with their season kickoff in Brazil against the Los Angeles Chargers.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMRice is not expected to appeal his suspension, which comes from the league after its own investigation into his criminal charges. As part of Rices plea agreement, he received five-year deferred probation and 30 days in jail as a condition of the probation.Rices jail time is said to be flexible, according to the Dallas County District Attorney's Office.There was an arbitration hearing scheduled for Sept. 30 at the leagues headquarters in New York in front of federal Judge Sue L.

"You have to learn from things like that. All I can focus on is what I can control right now and thats me doing what I do."Rice was the driver of a Lamborghini Urus that was going 119 mph on the North Central Expressway in Dallas when he made "multiple aggressive maneuvers around traffic" before crashing into other vehicles, according to prosecutors.
