Executive Power, Immigration, Press Access, Elections & Academic Funding

A federal judge ruled DOJ's state-voter-roll collection policy unlawful and beyond federal authority, while the Supreme Court rejected Trump's attempted mail-voting limits. GAO's general counsel and seven states have challenged the administration's $810 million rescission effort; a judge also halted taxpayer-funded advertisements featuring Trump, adding a new dispute over executive spending and political messaging. FEMA workforce reductions, migrant-child removal efforts, press restrictions, pro forma sessions, DOJ election-monitor allegations, and the SpaceX debt-purchase controversy continue to sharpen separation-of-powers and due-process conflicts.
