Supreme Court work goes on with 16 cases to decide, including birthright citizenship
SUMMARY: The Supreme Court is in the homestretch of a term that has lately been dominated by the Trump administration’s emergency appeals of lower court orders seeking to slow President Donald Trump’s efforts to remake the federal government. But the justices also have 16 cases to resolve that were argued between December and mid-May. One of the argued cases was an emergency appeal: the administration’s bid to be allowed to enforce Trump’s executive order denying birthright citizenship to U.S.-born children of parents who are in the country illegally. The court typically aims to finish its work by the end of June.

In Virginia and New Jersey governor's races, Democrats reprise a 2018 roadmap for opposing Trump 2.0
SUMMARY: Democrats have spent the early months of Donald Trump's second presidency trying to find the right messages and messengers to counter an aggressive administration. In the only two governor's races of 2025, they have models that have worked before. Former Rep. Abigail Spanberger in Virginia and Rep. Mikie Sherrill in Virginia were both part of Democrats' 2018 House class that flipped control of the chamber from Republicans. They did it with notable numbers of women, veterans and business people. Spanberger is a former CIA case worker. Sherrill is a former Naval helicopter pilot and prosecutor. Both lean into their biographies and a get-things-done approach on Capitol Hill. Democrats hope their campaigns provide a fresh roadmap for the 2026 midterms.

Nippon Steel finalizes $15B takeover of US Steel after sealing national security agreement
SUMMARY: Nippon Steel and U.S. Steel say they've finalized their “historic partnership,” a year-and-a-half after the Japanese company first proposed its deal to buy the iconic American steelmaker for nearly $15 billion. The bid by Nippon Steel was buffeted by national security concerns and presidential politics, delaying the transaction for more than a year after U.S. Steel shareholders approved it. It also forced Nippon Steel to expand the deal, including giving the federal government a say in some matters. The combined company will become the world’s fourth-largest steelmaker, and bring what analysts say is Nippon Steel’s top-notch technology to U.S. Steel. In exchange, Nippon Steel gets access to a robust U.S. steel market.

Michigan, environmental groups challenge federal order to keep power plant open
SUMMARY: Environmental groups and Michigan’s attorney general have filed separate challenges against a federal order that is keeping a coal-fired power plant open this summer. Critics say there is no energy emergency that would justify keeping Consumers Energy’s Campbell plant alive. Consumers Energy had planned to close the power station by May 31 as part of a transition to cleaner energy. But the Trump administration intervened, saying the plant must remain open because of possible electricity shortages in the central U.S.

Giants' Nabers should be ready for training camp after sitting out spring practices with toe issue
SUMMARY: New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers should be available to practice for the start of training camp next month after sitting out during the spring with a toe issue.

Pacers guard T.J. McConnell could play key role on whether NBA Finals go to Game 7
SUMMARY: The Indiana Pacers may need their smallest player, T.J. McConnell, to thrive in the biggest role imaginable Thursday night against Oklahoma City. With the Pacers season teetering on the brink and star guard Tyrese Haliburton recovering from a strained right calf, McConnell almost certainly will log extra minutes in Game 6 of the NBA Finals and could be starting in perhaps the most important game in franchise history. But McConnell has thrived in this role throughout his nine-year pro career, and he's not about to back down from this challenge.

Nick Castellanos returns to Phillies lineup after benching and makes game-sealing catch vs Marlins
SUMMARY: Nick Castellanos returned to the Philadelphia Phillies lineup for their game against the Miami Marlins on Wednesday after being benched the day before for “an inappropriate comment” the outfielder made when he was pulled for a defensive replacement on Monday. Castellanos played right field and singled in four at-bats against the Marlins before Johan Rojas replaced him in the bottom of the eighth with Philadelphia up 3-1. Thomson said the plan was only for Castellanos to be benched Tuesday and that he wouldn't take the outfielder out on Wednesday in a similar situation.
