US supreme court to issue decisions as term enters final stretch with blockbuster rulings outstanding – live

Joe Biden’s 2024 campaign has launched a new website landing page in attempts to underscore the threat of Donald Trump’s Project 2025.

The launch comes in response to Trump’s blueprint of policy proposals that could dismantle and disrupt the US government while replacing career staff with political loyalists.

“Project 2025 is the plan by Donald Trump’s Maga Republican allies to give Trump more power over your daily life, gut democratic checks and balances, and consolidate power in the Oval Office if he wins.

Trump’s campaign advisors and close allies wrote it – and are doing everything they can to elect him so he can execute their playbook immediately,” the page reads.

It goes on to break down the various ways Trump “is planning to reach into your daily life and how his extreme Maga allies are planning to consolidate power.”

The website’s new landing page launch comes ahead of the first presidential debate tonight between Trump and Biden where the current president is expected to highlight the various threats surrounding Project 2025.

Here is a look at some of the major decisions the supreme court has issued so far this term:

On Wednesday, the court struck down a lower court ruling, in turn allowing the federal government to request the removal of misinformation from social media platforms.

Earlier this month, the court upheld access to the common abortion pill mifepristone, marking a major victory for reproductive rights activists since the court overturned Roe v Wade two years ago.

The court, in a 8-1 ruling - with conservative justice Clarence Thomas dissenting - also upheld a federal ban that prevents domestic violence abusers from possessing guns.

In a setback for gun control activists, the court struck down a federal ban on “bump stock” accessories for guns, which allow semiautomatic firearms to fire as quickly as machine guns.

Good morning,

The supreme court is set to issue another set of opinions today at 10am which may include major decisions on Donald Trump’s presidential immunity case and whether states are allowed to carry out emergency abortions.

So far, the conservative-majority court this term has upheld access to the common abortion pill mifepristone, upheld a federal ban that prevents domestic abusers from possessing guns, struck down a federal ban on “bump stock” accessories for guns, as well as a struck down a lower court ruling to allow the federal government to request misinformation removal from social media.

The decisions for major cases that have yet to be released include Trump’s immunity petition from the federal charges he faces over the 2020 presidential election interference, as well as whether hospitals in states with abortion bans are required to perform emergency abortions – a case fought between the Joe Biden administration and the state of Idaho. According to a report from Bloomberg, the court’s alleged opinion on the Idaho abortion case – which would allow for emergency abortions in the state – was briefly posted on the court’s website on Wednesday.
