Supreme Court lets Texas use disputed voting map— for now

The U.S. Supreme Court has temporarily cleared the way for Texas to use its newly redrawn congressional map in the 2026 midterm elections. Civil rights groups say the map was engineered to dilute the voting power of voters of color. The order came late Friday (Nov. 21) from Justice Samuel Alito, who handles emergency matters arising from the region. His administrative stay blocks a lower-court ruling and gives the full court time to decide whether Texas can keep the map […]

The decision does not deny the legal merits of the case, but continues to place a pause on full payments of SNAP benefits for roughly 42 million Americans for another two days. While the Senate has passed a bill that would reopen the government, the […]

When prison officials in Louisiana cut the dreadlocks of a prisoner in their care, they may have violated his religious rights — or at least that’s what the Supreme Court is gearing up to determine. On Monday, Nov. 10, the nation’s highest court will hear arguments in the case of “Landor v. Louisiana Department of Corrections and Public Safety,” which will decide whether a devout Rastafarian can sue state prison officials for monetary damages after they forcibly shaved his hair […]

Why Ketanji Brown Jackson’s Supreme Court decision on SNAP benefits is a temporary move

On Friday (Nov. 7), Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson ordered a temporary pause to the full release of Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits by the Trump Administration, a decision that was immediately critiqued and criticized on social media, given that 42 million Americans rely on SNAP benefits and payments had become a hot-button issue in the ongoing government shutdown. However, the move only pauses some payments until the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit reconvenes and […]

Supreme Court issues emergency order to block full SNAP food aid payments

BOSTON (AP) — The Supreme Court on Friday granted the Trump administration’s emergency appeal to temporarily block a court order to fully fund SNAP food aid payments amid the government shutdown.

Troop deployment remains […]

Meet Janai Nelson, the attorney who just argued her first Supreme Court case to protect Black voting rights

On Wednesday, the U.S. Supreme Court heard oral arguments for a consequential voting rights case that could either solidify or dismantle the heart of the Voting Rights Act of 1965–which has protected Black voters from racial discrimination in the electoral process for six decades. Janai Nelson, a longtime civil rights attorney, was the woman who argued on behalf of Black voters and what is left of the VRA in Louisiana v. Callais. It was Nelson’s first case before the Supreme […]
