"North Carolina’s Supreme Court... had outlawed partisan #gerrymandering in the swing state. Over Newby’s vehement dissent...
In January — once two newly elected #Republican justices were sworn in, giving the party a 5-2 majority — #GOP lawmakers quickly filed a petition...
Newby then wrote a majority opinion declaring that  #partisan gerrymandering was legal"

U.S. President Donald Trump ordered the U.S. military to immediately restart the process for testing nuclear weapons after a halt of 33 years, a move that seemed to be a message to rival nuclear powers China and Russia. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/10/31/world/nuclear-testing-explainer/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #us #nuclearweapons #donaldtrump #china #russia #northkorea

 #Trump admin makes *misleading* case in high-stakes  #asylum hearing
  #HomelandSecurity asked a judge to  #deport a man to  #Afghanistan, where he expects the  #Taliban to kill him. What happens next could affect thousands.
To make its case, the #DHS did not accuse him of any crime or disloyalty or act of terrorism. Instead, attorneys argued that Afghanistan — a country #US forces rescued him from in 2021 — is safe for his return.
Both institutions, however, have fundamentally transformed since H left them, WaPo has found. The nonprofit’s #US headquarters closed years before the country collapsed, & its former office in #Afghanistan is now under strict #Taliban supervision. The university, meanwhile, no longer provides in-person classes, & its campus was seized by the regime, which installed its own school.

The stakes of the case, which will soon resume in a Virginia courtroom, extend to tens of thousands of #asylum seekers from #Afghanistan whom Trump’s admin may seek to purge. If AG #PamBondi or an #immigration appellate board dominated by #Trump appointees ultimately sides with #DHS, legal experts say the case could set a precedent with sweeping consequences for #Afghans the #US rescued & promised to support.

The man, whom WaPo is identifying as “H” because of concern for his safety, has sought  #asylum because he so publicly supported the  #UnitedStates’ cause in  #Afghanistan. Before fleeing, he worked for a US-based nonprofit & attended an American university in Kabul.
 To undermine his claim, government attorneys argued that the  #Taliban have allowed those institutions to continue to operate—clear signs, they claimed, that his past would not endanger him if he was deported.

A 19th-century showdown between China and the West began, much as today’s did, with mounting Western anger over a huge Chinese trade surplus. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/10/30/asia-pacific/politics/19th-century-opium-war-xi-trump/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #asiapacific #politics #china #uk #opium #drugs #xijinping #us #donaldtrump #trade #tariffs
