Court blocks HUD’s shift away from Housing First in homelessness funding

A Rhode Island federal judge ruled that HUD’s fiscal 2025 changes to the Continuum of Care program, which aimed to shift funding from permanent housing to temporary housing and services and move away from a Housing First approach, were arbitrary and capricious and violated the Administrative Procedure Act. The decision blocks the 2025 funding changes, though it did not grant a permanent injunction against the broader policy shift; litigation over 2026 funding remains possible. HUD argues the overhaul aims to fund outcomes and merit, while plaintiffs warn the changes will harm communities by creating funding gaps for permanent housing.

Court Rejects ED's Narrow 'Professional' Degree Rule for Student-Loan Caps

A federal judge in the District of Columbia voided the Education Department’s rule that narrowly defined 'professional' degrees for higher loan borrowing caps under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, saying Congress intended the statutory definition to govern and that ED’s extra eligibility criteria went beyond what law requires. The ED had limited higher loan eligibility to 11 programs (e.g., pharmacy, dentistry, law, medicine, etc.), excluding others from the higher caps. Howell stayed the rule pending further litigation; the ED is reviewing the ruling and has not indicated whether it will appeal. The decision creates uncertainty about which programs qualify as 'professional' and could impact funding for advanced healthcare and other fields.

Appeals court rejects emergency bid to keep Trump’s name on Kennedy Center

An appeals court in the District of Columbia denied Donald Trump’s emergency bid to keep his name on the Kennedy Center facade, ordering removal by 7pm local time. Workers erected scaffolding as protesters cheered for the name to come down, and Joyce Beatty—who sued to reverse the change—celebrated the ruling. The decision reinforces that only Congress can rename the Kennedy Center, though Trump and board members could pursue further legal action.

Court blocks Kennedy's bid to scale back childhood vaccine guidance

A federal judge temporarily blocked Health Secretary RFK Jr. from reducing the number of vaccines recommended for children and ruled that his overhaul of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices likely violated federal procedures, halting his January plan to end broad vaccine recommendations for diseases including flu, rotavirus, hepatitis A/B, meningitis and RSV. The move follows lawsuits from medical groups upset by the changes and puts ACIP appointments on hold and its upcoming meeting in jeopardy as the parties litigate.

Virginia court derails Democrats' midterm redistricting push

A Virginia circuit court blocked Democrats’ plan to redraw the state’s congressional map this year, ruling they bypassed proper procedures to approve a constitutional amendment and failed to meet notice and voting requirements in a special-session move; the ruling, if upheld on appeal, could prevent the mid-decade redistricting and potentially cost Democrats up to four seats in the 2026 midterms; Republicans hailed it as upholding the rule of law, while Democrats pledged to appeal and press ahead with map changes.
