Live from NPR News. In Washington, I'm Ryland Barton. The Supreme Court heard arguments today on the legality of President Trump's power to unilaterally impose tariffs on imports from dozens of other countries. The administration argues it has the authority to do so because of national security and that a ruling against Trump would upend the economy. Justice Neil Gorsuch, who is nominated by Trump, expressed skepticism that the president has the power to regulate trade without Congress weighing in.

Congress is a practical matter. Can't get this power back once it's handed it over to the president. It's a one way ratchet toward the gradual but continual accretion of power in the executive branch and away from the people's elected representatives.

Challengers say Trump is claiming nearly limitless authority and American small businesses are paying the price. The program that helps millions of Americans afford heat in the winter is on pause during the government shutdown. With cold weather setting in, families who receive the assistance are left to figure out how they'll pay their heating bills. North Country Public Radio's Emily Russell reports.

The low Income Home Energy Assistance program, known as LIHEAP, serves about 6 million households across the country. In New York, the application period was supposed to open earlier this week, but it's now in definition, definitely delayed due to the shutdown. Florence Wright and her husband live in Colton, New York, about 40 miles south of the Canadian border. They rely on the program to keep their home warm.

Florence Wright
Yeah, I mean, we burn fuel oil. What are we going to do if the heat don't go through? You know, one tank of fuel is half of our income a month.

The National Transportation Safety Board says the plane's voice and data recorders both sustained fire damage in the crash. NTSB member Todd Inman says investigators won't know the condition of their contents until they are sent to a laboratory in Washington for analysis. Inman also says, according to airport security footage, the left engine became detached from the plane while it was attempting to take off.

That correlates with the video that we've seen of it detaching from the airplane while it is in flight.

New York City Mayor Elect Zoran Mamdani has announced his transition team, including former city and federal officials, all women. He vowed that his administration would be both compassionate and capable. The 34 year old defeated former Governor Andrew Cuomo and Republican Curtis Sliwa yesterday.

Lung cancer is more survivable than ever, but federal funding cuts and racial disparities in care threaten such progress as the finding from the American Lung Association's annual report.

The past decade there have been over 70 new drugs introduced to treat lung cancer. That has led to enormous increases in the five year survival rate among those with the disease, from 18% eight years ago to 30% today. However, the report also says recent funding and staffing cuts to the National Institutes of Health, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, as well as cuts to Medicaid and health care coverage threaten this progress and racial inequalities persist. Black, Latino and Native American people are less likely to be diagnosed early, receive treatment and survive the disease. Yuki Noguchi, NPR News.

The closest supermoon of the year is tonight. It happens when a full moon is closer to Earth in its orbit, making it appear slightly bigger and brighter. The moon will look up to 14% bigger and 30% brighter than its faintest moon of the year. But the change can be tough to discern with the naked eye. It's the second of three supermoons this year and also the closest. The last supermoon of the year will be in December. I'm Ryland Barton. You're listening to NPR News from Washington.
