General License 135 waives Treasury's own sanctions rules through April 7, 2027. The Ending Importation of Russian Oil Act has one termination path, and it takes at least 135 days.
The Antitrust Division wants the networks' pool records under the Sherman Act. Judge Timothy Kelly rules Tuesday on whether the CNN ban itself can stand.
Army Regulation 190-55 lists who may witness a military execution and keeps the firing squad's identities confidential. It says nothing about the broadcast the Pentagon has announced, and Vice President Vance says he is unsure it will happen.
A disclosure form shows a $1 million to $5 million SpaceX note bought August 18, two days before the National Space Transportation Policy. The statute that bars officials from acting on their own finances excludes the president, so the only rule in play was a reporting deadline.
The DNC and Common Cause separately sued the Trump administration this week over an ad campaign funded through a border security budget. The federal propaganda test behind both suits has ruled against a Republican agency and a Democratic one before, and the White House's defense doesn't address it.
In Department of the Air Force v. Prutehi Guahan, the justices considered October 7 whether a Guam advocacy group's lawsuit over open-air munitions disposal on a beach above the island's main aquifer can proceed without the environmental review federal law normally requires first.
Sen. Cory Booker introduced all three Sept. 30 with no cosponsors, aimed at a carrier rename the Navy has only discussed internally and never formally announced.
AB 1633 creates the nation's first tax on private immigration detention operators, four years after a federal appeals court blocked California's attempt to ban them outright. The rate was cut in half during negotiations, from 50 percent to 25.
Oral argument begins October 5 in Suncor v. Boulder County, the first case of the Supreme Court's new term. Justice Alito recused over oil stock holdings in September, and the preemption standard at issue is one Clarence Thomas wrote five months earlier in an unrelated contractor case.
The justices open the new term with a case on whether states can ban AR-15-style rifles by name, a question they ducked by one vote in 2025, alongside a separate case on whether Arizona can demand more proof of citizenship than federal law requires to register voters.
A Federal Post Card Application option that let citizens who never lived in the U.S. register overseas through family ties disappeared in late August, cleared by OMB in days under emergency authority. The Democratic National Committee sued October 1, arguing the Pentagon manufactured the emergency to dodge the normal public-comment process before the midterms.
The Stop Insider Trading Act needed 60 votes and got 53. Both parties say they want a ban. The fight was over a voter ID rider, who counts as a covered official, and whether a bill that exempts current holdings and the presidency actually stops anything.
A September 29 opinion from the Government Accountability Office found the White House's pocket rescission of 11 appropriation accounts violates the Impoundment Control Act. Fiscal year 2026 ends the next day, so the money expires unspent regardless of who is right.
A district judge has kept the Bureau of Prisons' policy blocked since June, ruling it was reverse engineered from an executive order. The Justice Department's September 28 emergency filing asks the Supreme Court to let the ban on hormone therapy and surgery for transgender federal inmates take effect while the underlying case continues.
A 2026 spending law bars federal money for propaganda not authorized by Congress. The White House says three Trump ads are legal because none tells viewers how to vote; a bipartisan group of lawmakers says that is not the test.
The administration's September 26 notice withholds $810 million already appropriated for HHS, Education, HUD and Justice Department programs, most of it serving refugees and immigrants. Filed five days before the fiscal year closes, it uses the same tactic the Government Accountability Office has called illegal since 2018.
A September 25 order lets DHS resume screening state voter rolls through an expanded citizenship check ahead of the midterms. In the one state where that check has already been tested against real voter files, all 185 people DHS said it was confident about turned out to be citizens.
A federal judge found the White House violated due process when it stripped three outlets' credentials on September 20. The order took effect within hours, but CNN and MS NOW reporters were still turned away from a state dinner for China's Xi Jinping, and the last time a court ruled this way, an appeals panel undid it two months later.
Missouri's Supreme Court ordered the state's 2022 congressional map restored on September 3. An appeals court put the newer, Republican-drawn map back three weeks later, and Missouri now wants the U.S. Supreme Court to rule that state courts cannot step in that close to an election at all.
Utah Republican John Curtis is asking the Senate Judiciary Committee to subpoena Donald Trump Jr. and Hunter Biden over gifts from foreign figures, after ProPublica reported a Putin-linked oligarch bankrolled part of Trump Jr.'s Bahamas wedding. Hours after the letter became public, the committee's chairman said he had not read it.
