US federal court

A US judge has ruled against President Trump's ban on certain media outlets from White House coverage, overturning the restriction. The decision restores access for the affected news organisations and touches on press freedom and the limits of presidential power over media access. The ruling is drawing wide attention as a significant check on the administration's handling of the press.

The US Supreme Court has cleared the way for states to use the federal SAVE database to verify the citizenship status of people registering to vote. The decision lets states check voter rolls against immigration records, a move supporters frame as election integrity and critics warn could disenfranchise eligible voters, fueling debate over voting access.
