Lawyers representing women affected by state pension age changes are preparing to formally challenge the government's repeated refusal to offer compensation. The move comes after women impacted by the way changes to the state pension age were communicated were told for a second time in January that they would not receive financial redress.
Leon, a George W. Bush appointee, accused the administration of offering "shifting" arguments for why the $400 million project is not subject to congressional oversight. DoJ lawyers have argued that the project is covered by a federal law that allows the president "to undertake 'alteration' and 'improvement' of the White House, 'as the President may determine.'"
It's a case of the regulator not doing its job properly. These colleges don't appear consistent with the OfS requirements on academic freedom and freedom of expression, so they shouldn't have been registered in the first place. The lack of transparency is striking. If institutions are built around enforcing a confessional worldview rather than academic freedom, then they shouldn't be registered by the OfS or receiving public funds.
Officials have said those policies, which include allowing students to compete in the sport that aligns with their gender-not their sex at birth-and to use the corresponding bathrooms and locker rooms, violate Title IX because they deny cisgender female athletes equal opportunities. Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 bars sex-based discrimination and harassment, and advocates for trans students say the administration is weaponizing the 53-year-old law to advance its agenda.
Nintendo of America is suing the US government, including the Department of Treasury, Department of Homeland Security and US Customs & Border Protection, over its tariff policy. The video game giant already raised prices on the Nintendo Switch in August 2025 in response to "market conditions" but has so far left the price of the newer Switch 2 console unchanged.
Sopra Steria claims the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP), which leads the shared services program for multiple departments, failed to spot that Capita's bid for the contract was "abnormally low" relative to Sopra Steria's tender for the same work. It also alleges that after the UK outsourcer was named preferred bidder for the contract, the DWP conducted further renegotiations around Capita's tender.
I guarantee you that if I took a gun and I filed off the serial number of the gun and sent it to those states where that's illegal, they would want to prosecute me for that. Anybody can go online, they can obtain these pills, there is no human interaction at all. Some doctors somewhere is facilitating the distribution of these pills, it would be no different if they were sending fentanyl.
Local election administrators have warned that councils face "an uphill struggle" to be ready in time for the May local elections after the government reversed its plan to delay some votes. Local Government Secretary Steve Reed had initially approved delays in 30 council elections in England until 2027. But the government abandoned plans to postpone ballots after advice was given that the move could be unlawful.
Sir Keir Starmer has abandoned plans to postpone elections across 30 councils this May after being warned it would be illegal, in yet another humiliating U-turn for the government. Local government secretary Steve Reed had previously approved proposals to delay the polls for more than 4.5 million people to help deliver a major reorganisation of local authorities. But on Monday, the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) spokesperson said it was abandoning the plan in the face of new legal advice a climbdown that has been claimed as a victory for Reform UK, which had launched legal action against the government to challenge the proposed delay.
The co-founder of Palestine Action has won a legal challenge to the home secretary's decision to ban the group under anti-terrorism laws. Huda Ammori. Photograph: Abdullah Bailey/Alamy The proscription of Palestine Action, which categorised it alongside the likes of Islamic State, was the first of a direct action protest group and attracted widespread condemnation as well as a civil disobedience campaign defying the ban, during which more than 2,000 people have been arrested.
BAY RIDGE - THE STATE'S INDEPENDENT Redistricting Commission is not set to meet a judge's Friday deadline to deliver a new map for U.S. Rep. Nicole Malliotakis' 11th Congressional District, staff members for the group told The City earlier this week. The commission has paused its work as Malliotakis and other Republicans have launched an effort to overturn the decision.
Patrick Matthews and Emma Fernandez have run the cafes at Parliament Hill Lido, Queen's Park and Highgate Wood for several years, but were told just before Christmas they had been unsuccessful in a retendering process. The corporation, the governing body that runs London's Square Mile, has responsibility for managing green spaces such as Hampstead Heath, which it runs as a registered charity.
They specifically highlight "vibrations and shocks" the "extremely fragile" embroidered cloth will face on its road journey to London, The Telegraph reported. Experts say potholes on roads in both countries could generate enough vibrations to rip apart the 1,000-year-old fabric.
The demolition was hardly the most egregious action that Trump has taken as president, but it captured popular and media attention because it was such a clear metaphor: Trump had secretively demolished part of a building that belongs to the people of the United States, treating it as his own. That metaphor may become more potent yet. Recent events suggest that the gaping hole where the East Wing once was may lie there exposed, undeveloped, and contested for quite some time.
On January 22, artist Gabrielle Goliath and curator Ingrid Masondo filed a founding affidavit in the High Court of South Africa in Pretoria, stating their intention to challenge South African Minister of Sport, Arts and Culture Gayton McKenzie's unilateral decision to terminate the video and performance series, Elegy, at its national pavilion at the 2026 Venice Biennale. McKenzie had attempted to characterize Goliath's piece, which would have centered Palestinians enduring genocide in Gaza, as "highly divisive" and not aligned with South Africa's interests - even though the country famously brought a legal case against Israel at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in The Hague over allegations of genocide in Gaza.
After President Donald Trump announced this week that he plans to withhold funding from cities and states that have "sanctuary" immigration policies beginning next month, Attorney General Rob Bonta and Bay Area cities are promising to take legal action should payments stop. Trump made the threat on Tuesday amid escalating immigration crackdowns in Democrat-led cities, where three people have been shot by federal officials this month.
The site in question is the subject of a legal challenge raised by tech justice non-profit Foxglove in collaboration with environmental charity Global Action Plan, who claimed the government was wrong to grant planning permission for the project without conducting an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) first. The project, known as the West London Technology Park (WLTP) development, is being overseen by developer Greystoke, which wants to transform the former landfill site (located within an area of green belt land) into a hyperscale datacentre.
The British government has conceded it should not have approved a campus near London's M25 orbital motorway and that the decision should be quashed, following a legal challenge by campaign group Foxglove. The non-profit filed its challenge last year after the Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government overturned Buckinghamshire Council's rejection of the Woodlands Park site near Iver. The local authority had blocked the project on grounds it would significantly alter the area's character and appearance.
The Trump administration has since poured billions of dollars into immigration enforcement, and in March, Trump issued an executive order requiring the Department of Homeland Security to ensure that states have "access to appropriate systems for verifying the citizenship or immigration status of individuals registering to vote or who are already registered." In May, DHS began encouraging states to check their voter rolls against immigration data with the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) program, run by US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). SAVE now has access to data from across the federal government, not just on immigrants but on citizens as well.
