United States federal courts

The Trump administration has asked the US Supreme Court to allow restrictions on gender-affirming health care for transgender inmates in federal prisons. The request asks the justices to permit the government to limit such care while litigation over the policy continues, adding to a series of legal battles over transgender rights that have reached the nation's highest court.

A federal court has ruled that prediction-market platform Kalshi must comply with Tennessee's gambling laws in relation to its sports event contracts. The decision means Kalshi cannot treat its sports offerings as federally regulated financial products exempt from state gambling regulation in Tennessee. It adds to ongoing legal battles between prediction-market operators and state regulators across the United States over whether sports contracts amount to gambling.
