SCOTUS halts redraw of New York district found to have discriminated against minority voters Sotomayor accused the majority of overstepping and interfering in an ongoing state court process before New York’s highest court had even ruled.

BREAKING: In a setback for voting rights, the U.S. Supreme Court has halted New York’s order to redraw its 11th Congressional District β€” a district a state court found diluted minority voting power.

The current map will remain as appeals continue.

So really... it was Russia who killed the Supreme Leader of Iran. Responsibility always flows to the top.

'This issue concerns us' β€” Zelensky warns Middle East war could strain Ukraine air defense supplies Zelensky said Ukraine has seen no signs of a PAC-3 interceptor shortage so far, but warned that a prolonged Middle East war and intense fighting could strain air defense supplies.

As the U.S. and Israel launched coordinated strikes against Iran, Tehran retaliated by targeting Israel and U.S. military bases. The war has raised concerns in Ukraine about potential impacts on its air defense, which relies heavily on the US-made Patriot system.
