See Terms Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Ryland Barton. President Trump says the U.S. supreme Court's ruling against his sweeping tariffs is deeply disappointing. NPR's Franco Ordonez reports on the president's first response to his biggest legal def since returning to office.

President Trump
Foreign countries that have been ripping us off for years are ecstatic. They're so happy and they're dancing in the streets. But they won't be dancing for long, that I can assure you.

The ruling threatens to upend one of Trump's favorite tools for his economic agenda. And in response, he says he'll go an even stronger direction, though it may take a little longer. He says he'll sign an executive order to continue certain tariffs under different laws, including adding a 10% global tariff. But after 150 days, that would need approval from Congress, which might be difficult with an election approaching. Franco Ordonez, NPR News.

The number of student loan borrowers considered delinquent on their payments has nearly tripled since 2019. NPR's Janaki Mehta has more on a study showing those students have seen a big hit to their credit scores.

The new report, which comes from the Century foundation and Protect Borrowers, says student loan delinquency has spiked to a record 25% of borrowers and those considered delinquent, meaning students who've been late on their payments have seen their credit scores go down by an average of 57 points. The report blames the Trump administration's policies for blocking borrowers from, quote, accessing the income driven repayment plans they're legally entitled to, that and the increasing cost of living in this country. In response, the Trump administration told NPR it has been, quote, reporting full inaccurate data on student loan repayment instead of extending so called flexibilities related to a pandemic that ended five years ago.

U.S. stocks rose today after the Supreme Court struck down President Trump's tariffs. As NPR's Maria Aspen reports, the Dow closed up nearly half a percent.

Wall street took the latest tariff whiplash in stride. Stocks rose after the Supreme Court ruled that President Trump overstepped his authority as he imposed new taxes on almost all U.S. imports. Companies like Coca Cola and Ford have been particularly hurt by the tariffs, and their investors rejoiced. The decision is a dramatic blow to the cornerstone of Trump's economic policy, and the president quickly struck back. He's vowing to use a different authority to add a new 10% global tariff to imports. Investors largely shrugged in response. Some had already expected the president to find workarounds if the Supreme Court struck down his tariffs. Maria Aspen, NPR News, New York.

This is NPR News from Washington. A federal judge has denied the Trump administration's request to delay a deadline to restore an exhibit on the history of slavery at a house George Washington lived in in Philadelphia, the city suing the federal government over the abrupt removal of the exhibit last month. The Interior Department says it plan a new exhibit on slavery, but the judge says the agency has to work with the city on any exhibit. Many animals change their coloration as they develop, including clownfish. Researchers now have a better idea of what might be triggering the change. Ari Daniel reports.

Adult tomato clownfish are reddish orange and sport a single white head stripe, but juveniles have two to three. New lab work shows the loss of these stripes is accelerated when young fish settle on an anemone for the first time, joining the pecking order of older tomato clownfish already there.

That's when they first have to interact with others of their own kind to form a functioning group.

Laurie Mitchell is a marine biologist at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology. He believes that when young fish first arrive at an anemone, multiple stripes signal they're not a threat. Shortly thereafter, once they're integrated, that function is fulfilled and the stripes fade. For NPR News, I'm Ari Daniel.
