The U.S. Supreme Court dominated the political day, delivering a pair of consequential rulings and setting up another major constitutional fight ahead. In a sharp setback for Donald Trump’s immigration agenda, the court upheld birthright citizenship, reaffirming that the 14th Amendment protects most children born on U.S. soil. In a separate 6–3 decision, the justices struck down federal limits on coordinated spending between political parties and candidates, a move likely to reshape fundraising and strategy before the midterms. The court also agreed to hear challenges to AR-15-style assault-weapon bans next term, putting gun policy back at the center of national politics. Adding to the swirl, NPR retracted an erroneous report that Justice Samuel Alito was retiring. Abroad, Indonesia’s jailing of former education minister and Gojek co-founder Nadiem Makarim in a major corruption case underscored how accountability battles are reverberating well beyond Washington.
