Keeping it real. For all intents and purposes, Lainey Wilson has become one of the faces of country music this decade. Though she might not have the raw numbers of her contemporaries, Zach Bryan and Morgan Wallen, the “Heart Like a Truck” singer has captured the hearts and minds of millions of fans over the past five years and has subsequently become one of the leading artists at award shows, on the charts and on social media. In addition to winning her second-straight ACM Entertainer of the Year award back in May, which made her one of just seven artists/groups in history to capture consecutive EOTY wins, Wilson has also scored herself a Grammy Award for Best Country Album (Bell Bottom Country) along with multple other industry awards. Of course, this is not even mentioning her off-the-stage endeavors, which include her acting career on both Taylor Sheridan’s Yellowstone and her upcoming role in the Colleen Hoover film, Reminders of Him, or her multiple brand deals with the likes of Coors Light, Stanley 1913, Wrangler, Tractor Supply Company and many more. All that is to say, Wilson is undeniably one of most talented and universally beloved stars in country music today. However, despite all the chart success, love from fans and countless number of industry awards, Wilson admits she still deals with imposter syndrome from time to time. In a recent interview with Sirius XM’s Cody Alan, the “4X4XU” singer would note that she never expected to deal with imposter syndrome given the fact that she’s been working in the industry for a long time – 14 years to be exact. Wilson, a devout Christian, would also note that she feels that the waves of self-doubt is ultimately a temptation from the Devil attempting to sabatoge her confidence. “I’ve dealt with imposter syndrome. I didn’t expect to, just ’cause I’ve been here 14 years. And I don’t know, I always thought, ‘When I get it, ’cause I’mma get it, I’m not gonna feel like I don’t deserve it.’ Or I’m not gonna feel like somebody else deserves it over me. The Devil has a way of coming in and taking his little stick and stirring things up, so I’ve absolutely dealt with that.” With that being said, however, the Louisiana native would tell Alan that she’s actively working on putting those doubts about her career to rest. For Wilson, it’s all about reminding herself who she is and focusing on all the little idiosyncrasies that make her so unique. Leaning on her faith once again, Wilson would point to the classic Christian teaching of God not putting people where He doesn’t want them as a reminder to put her doubts to rest and keep pursuing her goals. “But when I take all those voices away, you know, all the ones from the enemy, even the enemies online or whatever it is and get down to it, I remind myself of who I am. Who I truly am. And I’m not just Lainey the artist. I’m not just the songwriter. I’m more than that. When I get to the root of all that, I think that’s when I can really step away from that imposter syndrome and be like, ‘Alright, you’re here for a reason. The Lord don’t put you places He don’t want ya.'” Ultimately, it’s always incredibly refreshing to hear artists be so candid about topics such as self-doubt and imposter syndrome simply due to the fact that we all deal with it from time to time. It truly serves as a great reminder that it doesn’t matter if you’re a 2x ACM Entertainer of the Year or an everyday office worker, struggles with self-doubt and self-image is a problem we all face, and Wilson captures this sentiment beautifully here.

President Donald Trump's use of sweeping tariffs faced sharp questioning at the Supreme Court on Wednesday, in a case with major implications for the president's agenda and the global economy. A majority of justices, including several conservatives, expressed doubts about the White House's justification of the import duties, which the president has said are necessary to restore America's manufacturing base and fix its trade imbalance. The measures are being challenged by a number of small businesses and a group of states, which contend that the president has overstepped his authority in imposing the levies, which are in effect a tax.

Justice Amy Coney Barrett had pointed questions Wednesday about the law Donald Trump invoked to impose global tariffs, joining several other justices on the right and left in voicing skepticism about the president’s ability to use a tool he has deemed critical to carrying out his economic agenda. Solicitor General John Sauer repeatedly argued during the lengthy 2½-hour oral arguments that the emergency law Trump used to enact the tariffs for nearly every U.S. trading partner contained language about regulating imports, which Sauer said included using tariffs. The relevant statute permits the president to "regulate … nullify [and] void … importation," but it does not use the word "tariff." Barrett pressed Sauer on this point.

Trump Solicitor General John Sauer got cut off as his answer to Justice Amy Coney Barrett wandered, with Justice Sonya Sotomayor stepping in to tell him to just answer the question in a tense moment at the Supreme Court on Wednesday. The Supreme Court heard oral arguments on Wednesday in a case challenging Trump’s authority to impose sweeping tariffs based on the invocation of emergency powers. The arguments were carried live by CNN’s The Situation Room, during which Justice Barrett interrupted Sauer to ask a question that apparently sent him off on a tangent that Sotomayor found unresponsive:

The deadlock in Washington continued Wednesday, after the government hurtled to shut down at midnight, as senators once again rejected competing stopgap funding bills as they returned to work on Capitol Hill. Lawmakers failed to pass a GOP-drafted short-term extension in a 55-45 vote, with three Democratic senators voting “yes”, and breaking ranks with their party to join Republicans. This version would keep the government funded until 21 November. Only one Republican, senator Rand Paul of Kentucky, voted “no”.
