The Supreme Court on Monday rejected the Trump administration’s emergency request to reinstate new U.S. Postal Service requirements for handling mail-in ballots, leaving a lower court’s nationwide injunction in place ahead of the 2026 midterm elections. The brief order found the government was “unlikely to succeed on the merits” and had not demonstrated that legal […]

New York City Council Speaker Julie Menin introduced a bill Thursday that would make it easier to revoke city-issued press credentials, targeting a group of Luigi Mangione supporters who obtained official passes and used them to access courthouse proceedings despite having no legitimate journalistic purpose. The bill, sponsored by Councilmember Chris Banks and co-sponsored by […]

New York Governor Kathy Hochul pardoned a convicted felon in late August, and in doing so, wiped a major immigration case off the Supreme Court’s docket before the justices could hear a single word of oral argument. The case, Genalo v. Black, was the Trump administration’s best vehicle for challenging a Second Circuit ruling that […]

The U.K. House of Commons voted 286 to 270 on Friday to reject the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill, ending a two-year parliamentary fight over whether England and Wales should allow doctors to help terminally ill patients end their lives. The 16-vote margin marked a sharp reversal from the previous year, when an […]

A federal judge in Delaware ruled Thursday that the state’s ban on making and possessing so-called “ghost guns” violates the Second Amendment, handing gun-rights plaintiffs a clean win and adding another entry to a growing list of court decisions dismantling state firearms restrictions. The U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware issued its opinion […]

Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier filed a lawsuit against Netflix this week, accusing the streaming giant of secretly tracking children’s online behavior and selling the data to advertisers, all while publicly promising it would never do so.

McKenna West, the Alaska cardiac nurse who defied a California couple’s demand to terminate a pregnancy after a fetal heart defect was detected, has filed an emergency application with the U.S. Supreme Court, her last legal option to stay involved in decisions about a baby she carried, delivered, and was then barred from holding. West’s […]

Justice Brett Kavanaugh on Tuesday denied Missouri’s emergency bid to reinstate its revised Republican-drawn congressional map, leaving the state’s 2022 district lines in place for the November 2026 general election. The denial came without comment, and without referral to the full Court. The order ends, at least for now, a fast-moving legal fight over a […]

A South Carolina judge on Tuesday granted Alex Murdaugh’s request to move his double-murder retrial out of Colleton County, ruling the case will be heard in Sumter County after finding the original jurisdiction’s jury pool was too tainted by years of saturation coverage to deliver a fair verdict. Circuit Judge Debra McCaslin issued a written […]

U.S. District Judge Trevor McFadden refused to block the Pentagon’s firing of three Stars and Stripes journalists, ruling Friday that the staffers failed to show they were likely to win their First Amendment claims. The decision leaves publisher Max Lederer, editor-in-chief Erik Slavin, and reporter Lara Korte without immediate legal relief as their broader lawsuit […]
