Trump administration’s crackdown on pro-Palestinian campus activists faces federal trial

July 6, 2025

A federal bench trial is set to begin over a lawsuit that challenges Trump administration efforts of arresting and deporting faculty and students who participated in pro-Palestinian demonstrations. The lawsuit, filed by several university associations against President Donald Trump and members of his administration, would be one of the first to go to trial. Plaintiffs want U.S. District Judge William Young in Massachusetts to rule that the policy violates the First Amendment and the Administrative Procedure Act. Since Trump took office, the U.S. government has used its immigration enforcement powers to crack down on international students and scholars at several American universities.

Deep-blue Arizona congressional district is up for grabs. Who will fill Raúl Grijalva’s shoes?

July 6, 2025

Five Democrats and three Republicans are running in a July 15 primary election in southern Arizona to succeed the late Democratic Rep. Raúl Grijalva.

Gabrielle Giffords’ life when she was shot in 2011 outside a Tucson grocery store. Raúl Grijalva was a champion of environment, Native American and immigrant causes. He died in mid-March at age 77. The district is a Democratic stronghold and stretches across most of the state’s border with Mexico.

Álvarez’s goal was confirmed by the VAR, and Mexico held on from there to defend its title from 2023 while improving to 6-2 in Gold Cup finals against the U.S.

Van Gisbergen wins in Chicago once again, completing a NASCAR weekend sweep

July 6, 2025

Shane van Gisbergen has completed a sweep on the Chicago Street Course, winning the NASCAR Cup Series race on the tricky downtown circuit. It was van Gisbergen’s second victory of the season and his third career Cup win. The Trackhouse Racing driver also won in Chicago in 2023, becoming the first driver to take his Cup Series debut since Johnny Rutherford in the second qualifying race at Daytona in 1963. Ty Gibbs was second, and Tyler Reddick finished third. Denny Hamlin and Kyle Busch rounded out the top five. It was a dominant weekend for van Gisbergen, a three-time champion in Australia’s Supercars. The 36-year-old New Zealand native won Saturday’s Xfinity Series race from the pole.

Brian Campbell wins John Deere Classic for 2nd playoff victory this year

July 6, 2025

It’s win or bust for Brian Campbell on the PGA Tour. Campbell won for the second time this season and both have been in playoffs. He shot a 67 in the final round of the John Deere Classic and beat Emiliano Grillo on the first extra hole when the Argentine went over the green and made bogey. Most peculiar about Campbell’s year is he hasn’t finished inside the top 30 except for those two wins. David Lipsky had a chance to join the playoff when he made eagle on the 17th. But he took bogey on the last hole.

Trump and GOP target ballots arriving after Election Day that delay counts and feed conspiracy fears

July 6, 2025

President Donald Trump and other Republicans have long criticized states that take weeks to count their ballots after Election Day. This year has seen a flurry of activity to address it. He’s issued an executive order on elections, the Supreme Court is reviewing a case from Illinois and several Republican-controlled states have passed bills about mailed ballots. In Democratic-controlled California, frustration with ballot counts that go on for weeks has prompted legislation to address it and restore public confidence. Trump has repeatedly questioned the legitimacy of ballots received after Election Day even though there’s no evidence of widespread fraud.
