## Resource

A federal appeals court just blocked Trump’s controversial voter list order, which would have restricted mail-in ballots to only those on a federal list — a move slammed by 23 states as politically motivated and election-chaos inducing. Meanwhile, the administration admitted it canceled $7 billion in clean energy grants, targeting 16 states that backed Kamala Harris — a reversal from earlier claims. Critics blast the moves as weaponizing government to punish political views and kill jobs. In a rare bright spot, Middle East tensions show signs of easing as U.S. and Iran resume talks, while Wall Street rallies and oil prices fall. Trump heads to Michigan to defend his economic policies and tariffs, visiting GM amid early voting in a key primary battleground.
