Supreme Court Could Hit Mail-In Voting
AdvertisementBut the Mississippi Republican and Libertarian Parties sued, claiming that counting votes that arrive after Election Day violates federal law. Trump vehemently opposes mail-in voting, though he and many of his GOP allies utilize it to cast their votes. Mail-in voting is popular among both Democrats and Republicans. AdvertisementIf Mississippi prevails, then the tradition of mail-in voting — which has been around since the Civil War — continues as it has in the past, with states setting their own rules and processes for mail-in voting. Mail-in voting is a useful tool for people with disabilities, service members, people who can’t get off work or can’t find child care, she notes.

Analysis: Trump faces legacy-defining dilemmas in Iran
The question is no longer whether President Donald Trump has lost control of the narrative of his new war in Iran. Trump meanwhile is fuming that he can’t simply order Europeans to send ships to open the Strait. That means raising the economic price for the rest of the world — and therefore the political heat on Trump. Washington has been betting for days on when Trump would declare victory and bring the troops home. After starting a new war, Trump doesn’t control how long it will last, where it will spread, how much it will cost and how badly it will complicate the lives of inflation-weary Americans.

United Farm Workers could face lawsuits over Chavez sex abuse claims, attorneys say
Daniella Marcial, right, first year accounting major, studies as maintenance workers (who declined to be named) cover up a mural honoring Cesar Chavez in the Cesar Chavez Cove at the Cesar Chavez Business and Computer Center at Santa Ana College in Santa Ana Thursday. The explosive sex abuse allegations against farm labor leader Cesar Chavez could deliver not just a reputational blow to the union he founded, but a financial one as well. John Manly, a prominent sex abuse attorney, said “liability could be automatic” for the storied labor union that Chavez ran for decades. School districts have spent nearly a half-billion to settle sex abuse claims. Cesar Chavez, then leader of United Farm Workers Union, speaks at a United Auto Workers convention, thanking them for financial support, in Los Angeles, June 10, 1974.

It is the second round of layoffs at CBS News since David Ellison took control of Paramount last summer. And it represents the end of an era, since CBS News Radio has a 99-year history delivering up-to-the-minute headlines over the airwaves. “CBS News Radio served as the foundation for everything we have built since 1927,” CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss and president Tom Cibrowski acknowledged in a memo to staff Friday morning. The radio unit closure and the wider layoffs come at a moment of intense change for CBS News, with more in store in the coming months. Further changes at CBS News are expected in the coming months, especially as talent contracts expire.

Mississippi reporter seeks tips on ICE detentions at Adams County jail
Mukta Joshi, an investigative reporter for Mississippi Today, is seeking tips about U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detentions at the Adams County Correctional Center in Natchez as she begins a yearlong fellowship at The New York Times, Joshi said. Joshi said the Adams County facility houses more than 2,000 ICE detainees and that the federal government limits access to ICE detention centers. Joshi also noted the jail is owned and operated by CoreCivic, a private company, and said it is not subject to public records laws. Over the coming months, Joshi said she will publish reporting on the facility each Friday morning on the Mississippi Today website, on social media and in the outlet’s Friday newsletter. Joshi said she has spent nearly two years reporting on police misconduct and the power of sheriffs in Mississippi and will focus her fellowship reporting on ICE detentions, a topic she said has drawn national attention though has received less local coverage.
