The Supreme Court has ruled 6-3 that children born in the United States remain citizens under the 14th Amendment, rejecting President Trump’s executive order that sought to deny citizenship to babies born to parents on temporary or irregular legal status. Chief Justice John Roberts has invoked long-standing precedent, including United States v. Wong Kim Ark, and said the administration offered insufficient evidence to overturn that history.
Representatives say New Jersey Rep. Tom Kean has been absent for weeks due to a personal medical issue, with no timeline for return. Officials expect him back “in the next couple of weeks,” while the White House and party aides emphasize transparency and continuity ahead of the upcoming reelection primary.
Graham Platner has won the Democratic nomination for the U.S. Senate in Maine despite weeks of damaging reporting about sexually explicit messages, a chest tattoo linked to Nazi imagery and accounts from former partners describing volatile behavior. Platner has held to the campaign, high-profile Democrats have continued to back him, and he will face Republican Sen. Susan Collins in November.
The Supreme Court has upheld Mississippi’s policy to count mail-in ballots postmarked by Election Day but received up to five days later. The ruling preserves state flexibility on ballot receipt timing and shields thousands of ballots, including those from military voters, from being discarded. Justices Barrett writes for the majority; Alito dissents.
