The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday lifted a federal judge&#8217;s injunction that had blocked the Donald Trump administration from continuing its downsizing of the Department of Education, clearing the path for mass layoffs affecting nearly 1,400 workers and the potential transfer of key functions to other agencies.
What Happened: The court&#8217;s brief, unsigned order represented another victory for Trump&#8217;s broader government efficiency initiative. The three liberal justices dissented from the majority decision, <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/jul/14/supreme-court-trump-education-department">reported</a> The Guardian.
U.S. District Judge Myong Joun in Boston had previously ruled on May 22 that the mass firings would &#8220;likely cripple the department&#8221; and ordered affected workers reinstated. The Boston-based First U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals rejected the administration&#8217;s appeal on June 4.
The Education Department, created by Congress in 1979, oversees a $1.6 trillion student loan portfolio affecting over 40 million borrowers. The agency also administers federal funding for disadvantaged districts and students with disabilities, while enforcing civil rights laws in schools.

Why It Matters: Education Secretary Linda McMahon announced in March that workforce reductions would slash department staff to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/03/44271318/us-department-of-education-to-slash-nearly-2000-jobs-as-trump-moves-closer-to-shutting-it-down">approximately 2,183 from 4,133 when Trump took office</a>. The layoffs align with the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) initiative overseen by Tesla Inc. CEO Elon Musk.
Trump signed an executive order in March directing the department to close to the &#8220;maximum extent&#8221; allowed by law. The administration plans to transfer the student loan portfolio to the Small Business Administration and special education services to the Department of Health and Human Services.
A coalition of 21 Democratic attorneys general, school districts and unions challenged the shutdown efforts, arguing they would impair core departmental functions. The plaintiffs warned that mass firings could delay federal aid disbursement for low-income schools and students with special needs.
Federal law prohibits the department from controlling curriculum, instruction and staffing decisions, which remain under state and local authority. These governments provide more than 85% of public school funding, according to the The Guardian.
While complete elimination would require <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/03/44271318/us-department-of-education-to-slash-nearly-2000-jobs-as-trump-moves-closer-to-shutting-it-down">congressional approval and 60 Senate votes</a>, the Trump administration can implement significant operational changes through executive action. The legal challenge continues in lower courts as the administration moves forward with its restructuring plans.

The company's first official outlet in the country would be located in India's financial capital, Mumbai.

However, steep import duties levied by the Indian government had posed challenges for Tesla.
However, the government&#8217;s slashing of duties from 110% to 15% on luxury EV imports proved to be a major boost for the company's India ambitions. In the build-up to its entry, Tesla also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/04/44833951/elon-musk-led-teslas-model-y-spotted-testing-in-mumbai-ahead-of-india-debut">tested a Model Y</a> in Mumbai.

Elon Musk's Tesla To Sell Model Y From $70,000 In India, Launches First Showroom In Mumbai

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) accused President Donald Trump and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem on Monday of crippling the Federal Emergency Management Agency by firing key staff before this month's catastrophic Texas floods, saying the cuts slowed life‑saving aid.
What Happened: Schumer's X post came after Hill Country floodwaters killed at least 120 people and left 170 missing when the Guadalupe River jumped 37 feet on July 4. He said the White House "weakened America's disaster‑response ecosystem" and demanded a full investigation.
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"> 
<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">After I demanded an investigation into what role the Trump staff cuts played in the response to the horrible tragedy in Texas, Trump threw a fit. Now we know why: Trump and Noem fired key personnel at FEMA, weakening America&#39;s disaster response ecosystem.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
Critics point to a June 11 memo in which Noem ordered every FEMA contract or grant over $100,000 to cross her desk, a rule officials say held Urban Search and Rescue crews for up to 72 hours. Reuters reported the spending cap also <a href="https://www.reuters.com/sustainability/climate-energy/noem-defends-fema-response-texas-floods-amid-scrutiny-2025-07-13/">stalled</a> fuel deliveries, debris teams and satellite phones.
A separate <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/07/11/climate/fema-missed-calls-texas-floods.html">report</a> by The New York Times revealed FEMA had just laid off call‑center workers, leaving thousands of pleas unanswered. Noem, speaking in Kerrville, <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/meet-the-press/video/sec-kristi-noem-says-she-won-t-resign-after-backlash-over-texas-flood-response-full-interview-243137093529">denied</a> delaying help and said, &#8220;Those claims are absolutely false&#8221;.
Benzinga reached out to the White House for comment on Senator Chuck Schumer&#8217;s social media post.

On X, Rep. Ruben Gallego (D‑Ariz.), called the episode "government failure at its worst," noting the 120 dead and pledging to press Homeland Security's inspector general. House Democrats have already asked for that probe, citing agency staffing that has shrunk since 2023 and a Disaster Relief Fund nearing insolvency.

As per a <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/07/14/abbott-trump-fema-texas-floods-disaster-response/">report</a> by The Washington Post, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, once a FEMA critic, now seeks full federal reimbursement for rescue costs.
Why It Matters: During a late‑January 2025 briefing in Asheville, North Carolina, President Donald Trump announced he would abolish the Federal Emergency Management Agency. He labeled FEMA a "<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/01/43203763/trump-wants-to-get-rid-of-federal-emergency-agency-its-not-good-he-says-while-visiting-disasters-in-california-north-carolina">big disappointment</a>" and insisted states should handle disasters without "wasting time" on federal aid.
The administration had <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/44972378/trump-administration-denies-federal-disaster-aid-to-tornado-stricken-arkansas-pushing-responsibility-to-states">already faced criticism</a> after March tornadoes killed more than 40 people across Arkansas and nearby states. On April 11, it rejected Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders' request for a major disaster declaration, citing executive orders that push recovery costs onto state and local governments.

Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) could use Samsung Electronics Co. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SSNLF#OTC">SSNLF</a>) Display's crease-free screen technology for its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46008877/apples-foldable-iphone-may-arrive-in-2026-with-premium-pricing-sleek-design-in-focus">upcoming foldable iPhone</a>.
What Happened: In a post shared on Tuesday, Ming-Chi Kuo, an analyst at TF Securities, said Apple will adopt Samsung Display's (SDC) crease-free solution "to ensure stable mass production" of its first foldable iPhone, rather than relying on an in-house design.
The decision is set to benefit Samsung-aligned suppliers, particularly Fine M-Tec, which will supply display metal plates—internal hinge components critical to reducing screen creases during folding.
Crease-free durability is a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/07/33346172/galaxy-z-flip-5-heres-what-samsung-needs-to-stay-on-top-of-the-flip-phone-race">key challenge in foldable</a> phones.

"Fine M-Tec is expected to begin shipping display metal plates in 1Q26," Kuo said, with projected volumes reaching 13–15 million units in 2026.
The plates, priced at $30–$35 each, use laser drilling to enhance stress distribution and crease resistance—far more advanced than traditional etching, according to Kuo.
Fine M-Tec, already a top supplier for Samsung's foldables, is poised to capture over 80% of Apple's metal plate orders.

Why It's Important: Previously, Kuo said that he expects Apple's first foldable iPhone to be <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/25/03/44165398/apples-foldable-ai-iphone-could-cost-over-2000-20-million-units-shipped-by-2027-analyst">priced between $2,000 and $2,500</a>.

Earlier this month, it was reported that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46246152/iphone-sales-bounce-back-in-china-but-huawei-and-xiaomi-intensify-pressure">China's smartphone market</a> is projected to rebound strongly in the second quarter of 2025, led by Huawei Technologies and Apple.
Huawei is on track for the highest growth and may reclaim the top spot. Apple's sales rose in May thanks to early discounts on the iPhone 16 lineup, helping it secure the top position during the 618 shopping festival, with three iPhone models ranking among the best sellers.
In the second quarter, Apple's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45152493/apple-reports-strong-q2-earnings-revenue-beat-eps-beat-installed-base-hits-all-time-high-across-all-segments-100-billion-buyback-and-more">iPhone revenue reached</a> $46.84 billion, up from $45.96 billion during the same period last year.
Price Action: AAPL shares dipped 0.029% in after-hours trading, following a 1.20% decline during the regular session, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro data</a>.
Benzinga's Edge Stock Rankings indicate that AAPL maintains an upward trend in the short term but shows a downward trend over the medium and long term.

Japan&#8217;s 10-year government bond yield soared above 1.59% on Tuesday, reaching its highest level since 2008, as markets price in potential fiscal stimulus ahead of the July 20 Upper House election. The surge comes despite the Ministry of Finance reducing super-long bond issuances, signaling strong upward pressure on shorter-term rates.
What Happened: Lawrence McDonald, founder of the Bear Traps Report, highlighted the yield surge and warned that Japan&#8217;s role as the &#8220;planet Earth&#8217;s bond yield anchor for decades&#8221; is ending. 
&#8220;When central bankers distort the true cost of capital over longer and longer periods of time, there&#8217;s a price to pay for this charade; it&#8217;s not free,&#8221; McDonald wrote last week on X.
The yield spike reflects growing expectations of expanded fiscal spending, including potential consumption tax cuts, as Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba&#8216;s Liberal Democratic Party faces political pressure. LDP support plunged to 24% in an NHK poll, its lowest since returning to power in 2012, <a href="https://japantoday.com/category/politics/japan-ruling-party-support-plunges-ahead-of-national-election-in-nhk-poll">reported</a> Japan Today.

Why It Matters: Global bond markets are experiencing synchronized stress. UK long bond yields broke through 2022 &#8220;panic&#8221; highs, while French 30-year yields hit 4.21%, the highest since 2011. McDonald highlighted this pattern, asking &#8220;Japan, UK, and now France &#8211; what do bonds know?&#8221;
The bond selloff coincides with broader market concerns about commercial real estate debt. McDonald noted that much of the $5 trillion in U.S. commercial and multifamily mortgage debt sold between 2013-2021 at 2-3% coupons is now trading at 40-60 cents on the dollar.
Meanwhile, U.S. 10-year Treasury yields held above 4.43% as investors await inflation data that could influence Federal Reserve policy. President Donald Trump&#8216;s 25% potential tariffs on Japan, imposed after Tokyo&#8217;s unsuccessful attempts to negotiate, add additional pressure on Japanese assets.
The Nikkei 225 traded at 39,453.90, down 0.015%, while the yen weakened to 0.0068 against the dollar.

Japan's 10-Year Yield Hits 1.59%, Highest Since 2008 — Lawrence McDonald Warns Global Bond 'Anchor' Is Breaking Amid Stimulus, Tariff Jitters

Elon Musk's artificial intelligence company xAI has announced it is introducing its AI model Grok for government uses, as the Pentagon recently awarded the company multi-million-dollar defense contracts.
What Happened: "Announcing Grok for Government &#8211; a suite of products that make our frontier models available to United States Government customers," the company said in a social media post on X on Monday.
The company also announced "two new partnerships" with the U.S. government, including a defense contract awarded by the Pentagon as well as xAI products "being available to purchase via the General Services Administration (GSA) schedule," which allows federal agencies/departments to buy approved products.

Elon Musk's xAI Launches 'Grok For Government' After Winning $200 Million Pentagon Contract

Billionaire investor Chamath Palihapitiya has raised concerns about the potential threat to the United States&#8217; AI dominance due to a lack of electricity to power data centers.
What Happened: On Monday, Palihapitiya took to X and shared a graph while expressing his concerns about the U.S. potentially losing its AI edge to China due to a lack of electricity to power data centers.
He pointed out that as AI becomes more reliant on computational power, it also becomes increasingly dependent on electricity to power the data centers housing the computations.
&#8220;The U.S. is still ahead in model sophistication and quality, but we are way behind on electricity generation, which could catch up with us,&#8221; he said.
Palihapitiya stressed the importance of prioritizing and incentivizing every aspect of the energy ecosystem—including generation, storage, transmission, and distribution—to tackle the growing challenge.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
Why It Matters: The warning from Palihapitiya comes at a time when the energy consumption of AI data centers has been a growing concern. In April 2024, ARM Holdings plc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARM#NASDAQ">ARM</a>) CEO Rene Haas said that AI data centers could consume <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/24/04/38163078/ai-could-consume-25-of-us-power-by-2030-the-more-information-they-gather-the-more-power-it-takes-war">a quarter of the U.S. power</a> by 2030, without improved energy efficiency. 
Morgan Stanley (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MS#NYSE">MS</a>) in March 2024 projected that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/commodities/25/06/45728009/tomorrows-energy-crisis-mits-alarming-analysis-of-ai-power-consumption">power demand driven by generative AI</a> will grow at an average annual rate of 70% through 2027, primarily due to the expansion of AI-reliant data centers.
Meanwhile, in April this year, Former Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) CEO Eric Schmidt warned that China's rapid increase in AI investment could <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/04/44892275/eric-schmidt-warns-china-is-going-to-win-ai-race-unless-washington-fights-with-funding-and-instills-american-values-at-the-core">allow it to surpass the U.S.</a> unless Washington significantly steps up its efforts.
He also urged President Donald Trump to go beyond simply reversing previous administration policies and take stronger action.

Longevity Health Surges 60% After Hours On Merger With THPlasma

President Donald Trump&#8217;s latest threat of a 100% tariff on Russia if no peace deal is reached in Ukraine within 50 days is drawing sharp criticism, and even mockery from leading economist Justin Wolfers.
What Happened: On Monday, in a post on X, Wolfers criticized Trump&#8217;s proposed move to bring an end to the war between Russia and Ukraine, by threatening &#8220;secondary tariffs&#8221; of 100% against Russia, if a resolution isn&#8217;t reached within the next 50 days.
Wolfers mocked the move, highlighting the fact that Russia was already under sanctions by the U.S., drastically limiting trade between the two nations, so any tariff figure would be irrelevant for Moscow at this point.
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/macro-economic-events/25/07/46388874/eu-prepares-24-5b-in-tariffs-as-trump-threatens-30-import-tax-on-mexico-europe">EU Prepares $24.5B In Tariffs As Trump Threatens 30% Import Tax On Mexico, Europe</a>
&#8220;A 100% tariff on almost nothing will do almost nothing,&#8221; Wolfers says, sharing a chart featuring the drop in trade between the United States and Russia in recent years. 
Wolfers attributes this to Trump&#8217;s need to look tough on Russia without actually having to do anything. &#8220;How to sound tough but do nothing: Impose tariffs on a country where we already impose sanctions,&#8221; he says.
Speaking to the media on Monday, Trump said, &#8220;we&#8217;ve spent $350 billion approximately on this war with Russia and Ukraine,&#8221; before emphasizing that it wasn&#8217;t his war, but former President Joe Biden&#8217;s.
Trump added that he wants to see it end, and that he was &#8220;disappointed in President Putin&#8221; because he thought they had a deal two months ago, &#8220;but it doesn&#8217;t seem to get there.&#8221;

</figure>
Why It Matters: According to data from the U.S. Census Bureau, trade with Russia dropped following the sanctions imposed in 2022, in response to the latter&#8217;s invasion of Ukraine.
Imports from Russia stood at $29.6 billion in 2021, before dropping to $14.4 billion in 2022, and all the way down to $3 billion in 2024. Currently, U.S. imports from the nation largely consist of critical goods such as low-enriched uranium, platinum group metals, nitrogenous and potassic fertilizers.
Last month, Russian President Vladimir Putin <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46014413/putin-lauds-trumps-significant-support-on-ukraine-talks-as-russia-warns-us-to-stay-out-of-iran">appreciated Trump</a> for his efforts to help resolve the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Kremlin spokesperson, Dmitry Peskov, said, &#8220;President&nbsp;Putin sincerely appreciates Trump&#8217;s readiness&nbsp;to help find a solution&nbsp;to this ongoing crisis, as&nbsp;well as the efforts that&nbsp;he and his team are&nbsp;making. Such support is very&nbsp;significant.&#8221;
This week, Trump announced <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/07/46384536/trump-says-us-will-supply-ukraine-with-patriot-missiles-putin-really-surprised-a-lot-of-people-he-talks-nice-and-bombs-everybody-in-the-evening">plans to supply Ukraine</a> with Patriot missiles, following Putin&#8217;s resistance to ceasefire negotiations between Ukraine and Russia.

Trump's '100% Tariff' Threat On 'Almost Nothing' Trade With Russia A Prescription For 'How To Sound Tough But Do Nothing,' Says Economist

Economist and market commentator Peter Schiff critiqued Monday what he perceived as Bitcoin&#8217;s (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) shift from decentralized adoption to centralized buying by treasury companies.
What Happened:&nbsp;In an X post, Schiff expressed his views on the current state of Bitcoin demand. 
&#8220;Bitcoin demand has shifted to Bitcoin treasury companies and speculators looking to front-run that buying,&#8221; Schiff argued. &#8220;This is a Ponzi built on a pyramid.&#8221;
Schiff also aimed at Bitcoin supporters who frequently espouse the asset&#8217;s decentralized origins, saying, &#8220;It's not about broadening Bitcoin adoption — it's about wild centralized speculation that undermines Bitcoin's foundational principles.&#8221;

The Michael Saylor-founded <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/cryptocurrency/25/07/46401183/strategy-adds-472-million-in-bitcoin-ups-total-holdings-to-over-600000-btc">firm added another 4,225 BTC to its already dominant treasury</a>, bringing the total hoard above 600 BTC, currently worth $70.45 billion.
Notably, publicly-listed companies held a total of 859, 819 BTC, <a href="https://bitcointreasuries.net/">according</a> to BItcoin Treasuries, which is only 4.32% of the total BTC in circulation as of this writing.
Additionally, large investors or whales, held just about 1.25% of Bitcoin&#8217;s circulating supply, <a href="https://app.intotheblock.com/">according</a> to IntoTheBlock.
Price Action:&nbsp; At the time of writing, BTC was exchanging hands at $117,274.97, down 3.04% in the last 24 hours, according to&nbsp;<a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?_gl=1&#x2A;380nj0&#x2A;_ga&#x2A;MTEyOTAyOTcxMy4xNzEzMzY0NTYy&#x2A;_ga_V7ZK73W7N0&#x2A;MTcxNDk4MzIzMi42LjEuMTcxNDk4OTE0Ni4wLjAuMA.." target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.&nbsp;
