Major cases still loom at SCOTUS |
As we head into the long weekend, let's check in with the U.S. Supreme Court, which will wrap up its current term in just over a month. Yesterday the court released a ruling in its highest-profile religious rights case of the term, but there's still a lot more to come. |
- We are still awaiting rulings in cases involving birthright citizenship, gender-affirming medical care for transgender minors, online pornography, preventive healthcare, Planned Parenthood funding, voting rights and more. Read the full list of cases to watch here.
- Two other major religious rights cases remain. Read more about them here.
- And if you're itching for some weekend reading, we've collected stories about this term's oral arguments and decisions here.
- This term has been punctuated by clashes between President Trump and Chief Justice John Roberts over the role of the judiciary.
- Late Thursday, the court let Trump keep two Democratic members of federal labor boards away from their posts while they continue to challenge their firings. The ruling contained a line that eased, for now, worries that the cases could open the door for Trump to fire Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell at will. Read more about that here.
- The court has also acted in other cases challenging Trump's executive orders and actions, including in cases involving deportations, the transgender military ban, firings of federal workers and more. Learn more about where those cases stand here.

- At the U.S. Supreme Court, watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics must respond by 12 p.m. ET to the Trump administration's effort to set aside a D.C. judge's order requiring Elon Musk's DOGE team to answer questions and disclose documents about its operations.
- Classmates.com operator PeopleConnect will urge the 9th Circuit to reverse a judge's decision to certify a class of California residents who say their rights were violated by the company's use of their names and photos obtained from school yearbooks without their consent.
