Small businesses won a major legal victory when the Supreme Court struck down President Trump's IEEPA tariffs, but getting the money back has become its own fight. The government collected about $166 billion from more than 330,000 importers, and while refunds are now flowing, companies say the damage from cash-flow strain, to price hikes, to inventory cuts may not be fully reversible.

University of Chicago Law School Dean & Professor Adam Chilton said increasingly capable AI is already transforming legal practice by handling research, document review and other tasks traditionally assigned to junior lawyers, forcing schools to reconsider which distinctly human skills graduates must provide. Joining Bloomberg This Weekend Chilton explains to hosts David Gura and Christina Ruffini that Chicago's new strategy limits technology in core first-year classes to strengthen listening, reasoning and spontaneous analysis while expanding AI training in legal writing, clinics and other courses so students learn to work both independently and effectively with the tools used by law firms.

President Trump wants to build a "Golden Fleet" for the US Navy as China expands its own naval power, but turning that ambition into ships will take more than money.
