Maryland court halts Dems’ bid to redraw congressional maps ahead of 2028

A Maryland circuit court blocked a Democratic measure to redraw congressional districts in mid-decade and place it on the November ballot, ruling that lawmakers missed deadlines, used misleading wording, and violated the single-issue requirement; the decision enjoins the elections board from including Ballot Question 3 and pauses for an appeal, underscoring a broader national clash over mid-decade redistricting amid Trump-era activism.

Federal court strikes down Texas drag-show ban, upholding free speech

A federal judge struck down Texas Senate Bill 12, a 2023 law restricting drag shows, ruling it unconstitutional under the First Amendment and blocking enforcement by Attorney General Ken Paxton. Judge David Hittner said the law was overly broad and vague, potentially criminalizing ordinary performances, and advised critics who are offended to simply not attend. The law carried fines for venues and up to a year in jail for performers and had endured years of litigation.

Federal court halts Ohio's citizenship-document hurdle for DMV voter registration

A federal judge blocked Ohio from requiring documentary proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote at Bureau of Motor Vehicles offices, saying the state’s rules exceed the National Voter Registration Act’s minimum information and that registering at the DMV when approved for a license also violates the NVRA; Ohio plans to appeal, a decision seen as helping Democrats ahead of the midterms.

Judge Rules 75-Country Immigrant Visa Ban Illegal and Beyond Authority

Judge Rules 75-Country Immigrant Visa Ban Illegal and Beyond Authority

A Manhattan federal judge struck down the Trump administration’s 75-country immigrant visa ban as contrary to law and outside the State Department’s authority, ruling officers were ordered to deny visas from those countries even when applicants could support themselves. The policy halted permanent-residence visas for family- or job-based immigration from about 40% of nations and did not affect nonimmigrant visas. The court found the ban violated the 1965 law barring nationality discrimination and exceeded the secretary of state’s discretion; the administration can appeal, and both sides have until Sept. 11 to propose remedies for remaining issues. Plaintiffs included U.S. citizens and visa applicants blocked by the policy.

NCAA Faces Courtroom Fallout as NIL Reshapes College Sports

An opinion piece argues the NCAA’s pattern of outdated decisions and resistance to NIL reforms has led to repeated legal losses, forcing schools to share media rights, allow NIL earnings, and even re-evaluate eligibility, with courts increasingly upending traditional rules and signaling ongoing upheaval as college programs must compete with the NFL for players.

Kennedy Center Moves to Rebrand Trump Name Across Facade, Endowment, and Plaza

Kennedy Center Moves to Rebrand Trump Name Across Facade, Endowment, and Plaza

The Kennedy Center board, chaired by Donald Trump, moved to restore Trump’s name to three areas of the complex—on the front facade beneath the official name, with added inscriptions for an endowed fund, and designating the grounds as “President Donald J. Trump Plaza”—after a federal court ruling and ongoing legal battles that previously forced removal of the branding. Rep. Joyce Beatty sued, arguing Congress must approve such memorials, and a judge ruled last May that only Congress could authorize name changes; the center argues the new designations comply with that decision and points to renovations funded by Congress. The center has paused further action until Sept. 8 as Beatty’s lawyers seek a court ruling, while the center pursues an appeal and a separate two-year renovation/closure plan that remains under debate.

Kennedy Center Board Votes to Add Trump's Name Despite Court Order

The Kennedy Center board voted to append “Restored and Renovated By President Donald J. Trump” to the center’s formal name, two months after a federal judge ordered removal and said any renaming requires congressional approval. Critics, including Congresswoman Joyce Beatty, view the move as an attempt to skirt the court ruling, while the board also approved a two-year renovation closure that had been blocked by the court.

Trump's Name Added to Kennedy Center as Board Votes for 2-Year Closure

The Kennedy Center's Trump-aligned board voted to add Donald Trump’s name to the building’s facade and proceed with a two-year closure for renovations, despite a federal judge’s ruling that earlier name changes were illegal and an order blocking the closure. Rep. Joyce Beatty criticized the move as an attempt to circumvent the court decision, while center leadership argues that repairs and modernization are needed. The decision is likely to face further legal challenges as the dispute continues.

Kennedy Center to add Trump's name, push ahead with two-year renovation amid legal clash

The Kennedy Center board voted to add President Donald Trump’s name to the building’s façade and move forward with a two-year closure for major renovations, despite a federal judge’s ruling that the earlier lettering was added illegally and blocked the closure. Rep. Joyce Beatty, a trustee, said the move appears to circumvent the court’s order as the center faces aging infrastructure and ongoing political contention.
