Supreme Court Strikes Down Limits On Party Spending In Federal Elections

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court has erased limits on how much political parties can spend in coordination with candidates for Congress and president, striking down a federal election law that's more than 50 years old. Prodded by a Republican-led Ohio lawsuit, the court’s conservative justices Tuesday were again in the majority of the latest decision that upended congressionally enacted limits on raising and spending money to influence elections. The court’s 2010 Citizens United decision opened the door to unlimited independent spending in federal elections. The party spending limits stem from a desire to prevent large donors from skirting caps on individual contributions to a candidate. Democrats wanted the court to uphold the law.

Witkoff & Kushner Hold Iran Talks In Qatar

It’s been 123 days since the U.S. and Israel launched the Iran war, and the world again awaits another round of some sort of talks as President Donald Trump and Iranian officials disagree over what and even how they’ll communicate. Trump’s special Mideast envoy Steve Witkoff and son-in-law Jared Kushner plan meetings with Qatari mediators. And on this final day of a Supreme Court term centering on Trump’s executive power claims, the justices rejected Trump's campaign against birthright citizenship. "The Framers of the Fourteenth Amendment extended that promise to ‘every free-born person in this land,’” Chief Justice John Roberts wrote.

Supreme Court Ruling Renders American Citizenship Meaningless

Patriots vs. Communists

The political divide is framed as patriots versus full-blown communists, not traditional parties, with radical left elements gaining electoral ground even as the nation approaches its 250th anniversary.

Supreme Court Upholds Birthright Citizenship

The U.S. Supreme Court has upheld birthright citizenship, rejecting President Donald Trump's effort to limit who automatically receives U.S. citizenship at birth. The ruling leaves in place the long-standing interpretation of the 14th Amendment, which guarantees citizenship to nearly everyone born on U.S. soil regardless of their parents' immigration status. The decision is one of the court's most closely watched rulings this term and represents a significant setback for the Trump administration's effort to change birthright citizenship through executive action. The ruling preserves existing citizenship policies while leaving broader immigration debates to Congress and future legal challenges.

Supreme Court Upholds State Bans on Transgender Athletes In Girls' Sports

The U.S. Supreme Court has upheld state laws that bar transgender girls and women from competing on female school and college sports teams, ruling that the policies do not violate the Constitution or the federal anti-discrimination law known as Title IX. In a decision involving laws from Idaho and West Virginia, the court's conservative majority concluded that the restrictions are legally permissible. The ruling marks another significant decision involving transgender rights from the Supreme Court. More than two dozen Republican-led states have enacted similar laws, and the decision is expected to strengthen those policies. However, legal challenges to transgender athlete policies in states such as California and Connecticut remain unresolved and will continue through the courts.

Kirk Family To Attend Murder Case Hearing

The family of Charlie Kirk is expected to attend a key preliminary hearing next week in Utah for the man accused of killing him. The weeklong hearing will give prosecutors their first opportunity to publicly present evidence they say links 23-year-old Tyler Robinson to the fatal shooting. Planned evidence includes forensic testing, surveillance video, witness statements, autopsy findings and alleged messages in which Robinson admitted to the crime. Kirk's widow, Erika Kirk, along with his parents, Robert and Kathryn Kirk, are expected to be in the courtroom throughout the proceedings. It will be the family's first time facing the accused gunman in court. Robinson is charged with aggravated murder in the September 2025 killing of Kirk and has not yet entered a plea. Prosecutors have announced they will seek the death penalty if he is convicted.

Dangerous Heat Wave Spreads East

A dangerous heat wave is spreading from the Midwest into the eastern United States, bringing high humidity and triple-digit heat index values to millions of people. Communities are opening cooling centers and urging residents to stay hydrated and limit time outdoors. Some summer camps and outdoor activities have been canceled or delayed because of the extreme conditions. Forecasters say the heat and humidity are expected to last through much of the week, with some of the worst conditions likely in the Ohio Valley, Mid-Atlantic and Northeast.

Virginia Approves Recreational Marijuana Sales

Virginia is set to launch recreational marijuana sales next year after lawmakers approved the creation of a regulated retail cannabis market. Under the new law, adults 21 and older will be able to purchase marijuana from licensed dispensaries beginning July 1, 2027. State officials say up to 350 cannabis stores could eventually open across Virginia. The move comes five years after Virginia became the first Southern state to legalize marijuana possession. While more states continue expanding access to cannabis, marijuana remains illegal under federal law.

Supreme Court Rejects Trump Bid To Fire Fed Governor Lisa Cook

The U.S. Supreme Court has refused to allow President Donald Trump to remove Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook from her position, preserving the independence of the nation's central bank. The decision leaves Cook in office and signals that members of the Federal Reserve Board remain protected from being dismissed by the president without legal cause. The ruling is viewed as significant for Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh, reinforcing the central bank's independence as it continues to make decisions on interest rates and monetary policy. The case is one of several major decisions the Supreme Court issued as it wraps up its current term.

Trump Doubles Down On 'SAVE America Act' After Supreme Court's Elections Ruling
