The U.S. Supreme Court has allowed a Trump administration order permitting mail-in voting to take effect, following a request from the former president. The court also temporarily permitted construction to continue in the White House ballroom. In a related development, the court ruled that states may count mail-in ballots received after Election Day, a decision that expands the window for ballot processing in some states. In a significant legal setback for former President Donald Trump, the Supreme Court rejected his attempt to end birthright citizenship, which grants U.S. citizenship to anyone born on American soil. The ruling was met with cheers from supporters outside the court. Trump has frequently commented on Supreme Court decisions related to his policies, including one upholding state bans on transgender athletes participating in girls' sports—a ruling he praised. Justice Elena Kagan has urged increased funding for security at the Supreme Court, citing concerns about safety amid rising tensions. Meanwhile, Justice Amy Coney Barrett testified about a swatting incident and threatening packages during a hearing. The court also ruled that Trump cannot remove Lisa Cook, a Federal Reserve member, from her position. Some members of the "Make America Healthy Again" (MAHA) movement expressed frustration over a recent Supreme Court decision regarding the herbicide Roundup. In another major ruling, the Supreme Court struck down longstanding restrictions on campaign finance, a decision that could influence future election spending. Trump has since renewed his push for a broad elections reform bill, citing recent court decisions as support for his agenda. Separately, a new climate change lawsuit seeking damages from major oil companies is moving forward, with the Supreme Court set to consider the case.
