Due to the high inflation and cost of living in New...

Donald Trump may not receive the broad immunity he desires. However, it seems that the Supreme Court justices are not likely to quickly reject the former president’s claims. This increases the chances that Trump may not have to go to trial for his attempts to overturn the 2020 election until November. During the arguments on Thursday, the Justices emphasized the significant importance of the case they were considering. However, for Trump, the main consequence is that the important matters involved will probably result in a delay of his criminal case until after he either wins or loses his next election....

They are challenging a state law that prevents cities from banning flavored vapes and tobacco, or implementing stricter local regulations on tobacco than what the state allows. The plaintiffs requested the court to...

Teachers in Tennessee public schools may be allowed to carry concealed guns in the classroom. This comes after a school shooting in the state’s capital city sparked a heated discussion on how to prevent such violence.

Arizona doctors may be allowed to perform abortions on their patients in California, according to a proposal announced on Wednesday by Governor Gavin Newsom. This proposal aims to bypass a ban on almost all abortions in Arizona’s neighboring state. This would only apply to doctors who are licensed in Arizona and have a good standing, as well as their patients. It would only be in effect until the end of November. Arizona passed a law in 1864 that prohibits all abortions, except in cases where the woman’s life is at risk. This law will go into effect on June 8....

This week, actions in courts and state capitals across the U.S. have once again shown that the issue of overturning Roe v. Wade and the nationwide right to abortion is far from being resolved. The issue was brought before the U.S. Supreme Court again on Wednesday, marking the second time in a month. At the same time, lawmakers in Arizona are working to repeal a nearly complete ban on abortion before it can be enforced. In California, the governor suggested offering support to abortion providers and patients from Arizona if the ban goes into effect. In Tennessee, there are efforts...
