Supreme Court case could grant Trump and Republicans power to trample Black voting rights for one-party rule, advocates warn

The U.S. Supreme Court on Wednesday heard oral arguments in a case that could effectively kill the Voting Rights Act of 1965 and allow the Republican Party to redraw voting maps without existing protections from racial discrimination for Black communities across the country. “They can literally create a permanent one-party rule system without the Voting Rights Act in place–and doing it at the expense of Black communities and Black voters,” Cliff Albright, co-founder of Black Voters Matter, told theGrio. The […]

Supreme Court takes up Republican attack on Voting Rights Act in case over Black representation

A Republican attack on a core provision of the Voting Rights Act that is designed to protect racial minorities comes to the Supreme Court this week, more than a decade after the justices knocked out another pillar of the 60-year-old law. In arguments Wednesday, lawyers for Louisiana and the Trump administration will try to persuade the justices to wipe away the state’s second majority Black congressional district and make it much harder, if not impossible, to take account of race in redistricting. “Race-based redistricting is fundamentally […]

Appeals court rejects Trump’s bid to unseat Federal Reserve governor Lisa Cook ahead of rate vote

An appeals court ruled Monday that Lisa Cook can remain a Federal Reserve governor, rebuffing President Donald Trump’s efforts to remove her just ahead of a key vote on interest rates. The Trump administration is expected to quickly turn to the Supreme Court in a last-ditch bid to unseat Cook. The Fed’s next two-day meeting to consider its next interest rate move begins Tuesday morning. And Cook’s lawsuit seeking to permanently block her firing must still make its way through the courts.

Trump says he’s sending National Guard to majority-Black Memphis, an apparent new strategy after court setback

President Donald Trump announced he is sending the National Guard to Memphis, a majority-Black city in Tennessee, a Republican-controlled state. “We’re going to Memphis,” Trump told Fox News on Friday, calling the city “deeply troubled.” The president said he had the support of both Republican Tennessee Governor Bill Lee and Memphis Mayor Paul Young, a Democrat. “We’re going to fix that, just like we fixed Washington,” said Trump, who declared a “crime emergency” in Washington, D.C. on Aug. 11 and […]

‘It’s an insult’: Gov. Wes Moore vows to take Trump to court for blocking FEMA aid to Maryland

Maryland Gov. Wes Moore has vowed to take President Donald Trump to court after the president denied the governor’s request for FEMA disaster assistance relief following devastating floods in May. “It’s an insult to Marylanders and the community still suffering in the aftermath of this storm,” Moore said in a video response to the Trump administration’s decision. Moore explained that despite meeting the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s “longstanding set of criteria,” the Trump administration said Maryland’s request was “not warranted.” […]

Florida congressional districts that eliminated a majority-Black seat upheld by state Supreme Court

Florida’s Supreme Court on Thursday upheld the state’s current congressional redistricting map, rejecting a challenge over the elimination of a majority-Black district in north Florida that was pushed by Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis. The court, dominated by DeSantis appointees, said in its ruling that restoration of the district that previously united Black communities from Jacksonville to west of Tallahassee, or across 200 miles (322 kilometers), would amount to impermissible racial gerrymandering. That, the majority ruled, violates the Constitution’s equal protection guarantees. […]

Supreme Court allows Trump to lay off nearly 1,400 Education Department employees

The Supreme Court is allowing President Donald Trump to put his plan to dismantle the Education Department back on track and go through with laying off nearly 1,400 employees. With the three liberal justices in dissent, the court on Monday paused an order from U.S. District Judge Myong Joun in Boston, who issued a preliminary injunction reversing the layoffs and calling into question the broader plan. The layoffs “will likely cripple the department,” Joun wrote. A federal appeals court refused to put […]

Supreme Court clears way for deportation to South Sudan of several immigrants with no ties there

The Supreme Court on Thursday cleared the way for the deportation of several immigrants who were put on a flight in May bound for South Sudan, a war-ravaged country where they have no ties. The decision comes after the court’s conservative majority found that immigration officials can quickly deport people to third countries. The majority halted an order that had allowed immigrants to challenge any removals to countries outside their homeland where they could be in danger. The court’s latest decision makes […]

Supreme Court makes it easier to claim ‘reverse discrimination’ in employment

A unanimous Supreme Court made it easier Thursday to bring lawsuits over so-called reverse discrimination, siding with an Ohio woman who claims she didn’t get a job and then was demoted because she is straight. The justices’ decision affects lawsuits in 20 states and the District of Columbia where, until now, courts had set a higher bar when members of a majority group, including those who are white and heterosexual, sue for discrimination under federal law. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wrote for the court […]
