- Just checking: The ruling by the court’s 6-3 conservative majority allows the administration to use an immigration database to prevent voting by non-citizens. The justices rejected for the third time Missouri’s Republican-drawn map of congressional districts.
- Can’t afford Trump: Senate Republicans are trying to improve their election prospects before November by voting on legislation to protect consumers from high electricity bills caused by data centers. Republicans are finding ways to break with Trump and address voter frustrations, including the high cost of gas and diesel, that have raised Democrats’ hopes before the midterms. And Republican attempts to portray Democrats as rabid leftist extremists are getting a mixed response from voters.

- Don’t be the bot: As artificial-intelligence tools become more sophisticated and more companies decide to do their legal work themselves, law firms need to offer something more. That, writes columnist Sara Randazzo, is human relationships.
