White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt is making news as much as she’s trying to manage it.
She has only herself to blame.
In recent weeks, the Generation Z-aged secretary established a pattern of sharing obviously false information, like her recent claim that tariffs (which are literally taxes on imports) are tax cuts. Even after getting called out for the error, Leavitt was indignant that a reporter had questioned her knowledge of tariffs.
On Wednesday, Leavitt answered questions about the president’s call for the impeachment of U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia Judge James Boasberg after he temporarily ordered the administration to stop deporting migrants under the Alien Enemies Act of 1798.
Trump’s push to remove judges who disagree with him drew a pointed rebuke from Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts, though the president decided the criticism was not intended for him.

“That is an egregious abuse of the bench,” Trump’s mouthpiece fume. “This judge cannot, does not have that authority. It is the opinion of this of this White House and of this administration. That’s why we’re fighting this in court.”
