Lane Kiffin returns to Oxford as LSU's head coach amid a volatile, nostalgia-filled atmosphere surrounding his chaotic Ole Miss exit, including accusations of betrayal, lawsuits over player eligibility, and a fierce, long-running rivalry that colors this weekend's game and could shape the season.
More than 20 states and Washington, D.C., led by New York, sue the Trump administration to block a DHS rule that expands what counts as a public charge for visas and green cards, allowing officials to consider any means-tested benefits (including Medicaid, SNAP and school meals) with broader discretionary power. The rule, set to take effect soon, is argued by critics to chill immigrant families from seeking needed aid and could cost billions in federal funding; supporters say it restores authority to assess future welfare risk. The suit targets legal immigrants (undocumented entrants are largely ineligible for benefits) and comes amid a broader crackdown on immigration.
A coalition of 22 states and the District of Columbia filed lawsuits to block a Trump administration policy that would make it harder for immigrants to obtain green cards if they rely on public benefits, arguing the rule would push families to choose between essential aid and legal status, strain emergency services, and reduce participation in aid programs.
With the midterms looming, Democrats say they would use lawsuits, subpoenas, and a new legal task force to compel testimony and obtain records from the Trump administration on issues ranging from Iran policy and Epstein files to Trump business dealings and the White House ballroom. They envision multiple overlapping investigations across committees, prioritizing a strategic, non-impeachment path initially while leaving impeachment as a potential option. They also plan to tap private-sector information, pursue targeted legislation (including potential 25th Amendment reforms and anti-corruption measures), and tie oversight to voters’ affordability concerns as they prepare for a broader congressional fight if they gain the majority.
