On June 30, 2026, the Supreme Court ruled that President Trump cannot fundamentally alter the process by which people become American citizens, affirming the guarantees of the 14th Amendment and delivering a setback to Trump's efforts to reshape immigration policies.
In other rulings, the Court sided with Idaho and West Virginia in upholding bans on transgender athletes in schools and agreed with Vice President Vance that federal limits on coordinated political spending violate First Amendment rights, favoring Republicans in a campaign finance case.
Meanwhile, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) announced an early recess for the House after conservative hardliners blocked a procedural rule that would have allowed debate and final votes on several pieces of legislation, including the annual defense authorization bill (NDAA). The procedural rule was rejected by a 198-224 vote, with 14 Republicans joining Democrats in opposition.
Additionally, far-left candidates are seeking further electoral gains following recent victories by democratic socialists in Colorado primaries.
