Texas votes in high-stakes primaries in test of appetite for change under Trump Nominees for key Senate seat to be set while voters choose in congressional contests reshaped by GOP gerrymander Lauren Gambino in Austin Tue 3 Mar 2026 08.00 EST Texas votes in high-stakes primaries in test of appetite for change under Trump excerpt: "In the Senate race, Republicans are measuring the potency of Trump’s Make America Great Again movement against old-guard conservatism. Democrats, meanwhile, face a choice between two progressive “powerhouses” with different theories of how to fight – and how to win – in the Trump era. The fiercely competitive races have left Democrats unusually hopeful about their chances in a state that hasn’t elected a Democrat statewide since 1994, while Republicans fret they could lose a seat once viewed as safely red."
G.W. Bush wanted to make himself look like Gen. MacArthur at the end of WWII. It was a forerunner to the short-sighted behavior of Trump a couple decades later. G.W. Bush wasn't quite as silly as Trump. Bush didn't do a hand dance on the aircraft carrier while YMCA by the Village People played.
https://www.npr.org/2026/03/03/g-s1-112272/melania-trump-presides-un excerpt: "While the first lady spoke of a need to protect children and their access to education and technology in conflict, her husband's administration has cut funding for a number of U.N. agencies and other international organizations that address these issues.

Office of the Special Representative of the Secretary General for Children in Armed Conflict, which provides detailed reporting on the impact that conflicts have on children around the world. This information can help trigger action to prevent rape and violence against women and children. President Trump withdrew U.S. support in January. The U.S. has also dramatically cut funding for the U.N. children's agency, UNICEF, and has withdrawn from the U.N. Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, UNESCO."

Supreme Court blocks California restrictions on schools notifying parents about students' transgender status excerpt: "Kagan took issue with the court embracing the parental rights claim, saying it was at odds with the court's 2022 ruling that overturned the right to abortion. The 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling that legalized abortion had relied upon a similar 14th Amendment substantive due process claim, which is based on the theory that the Constitution protects fundamental rights even if they are not specifically spelled out in the text. The new ruling "cannot but induce a strong sense of whiplash," Kagan wrote. Kagan also referred back to the Supreme Court's ruling last year that upheld state bans on gender transition treatments for transgender kids. In that case, she noted, the court chose not to take up a separate parental rights question brought by parents who want their children to receive gender-affirming care. In that case, the court "would not even hear the parents out on their substantive due process claim," she wrote."
A victory for the Trump camp. Both the parents and teachers claimed the same type of right. But the six conservatives on the Supreme Court sided with the parents. Supreme Court blocks California restrictions on schools notifying parents about students' transgender status excerpt: "WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Monday barred California from enforcing state rules that restrict when schools can notify parents about students who come out as transgender and requires teachers to use children's preferred pronouns. The court, on a 6-3 vote on ideological lines, allowed a federal judge’s ruling in favor of parents who oppose the policy on religious grounds to go into effect. The San Francisco-based 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals had put the judge’s decision on hold pending further litigation."

The court also said they have valid parental rights claims under the Constitution's 14th Amendment. The court did not grant a similar request made by teachers who object to the policy. "We conclude that the parents who seek religious exemptions are likely to succeed on the merits of their Free Exercise Clause claim," the court said in an unsigned opinion."

Ozturk finished her Ph.D. from Trufts in February 2026. Detention of Rümeysa Öztürk - Wikipedia excerpt: "On December 9, 2025, judge Casper ruled that Öztürk may resume her research and teaching duties at Tufts, as she is likely to succeed in her legal claims.[32] On January 22, 2026, court records relating to Öztürk's case were unsealed by a federal judge in Boston. The files included Öztürk's Canary Mission profile and the Op-ed she co-authored for the Tufts Daily with no other evidence implicating Öztürk in any law violation, indicating the decision to revoke her visa was heavily based on her co-authorship of the article.[33] In early February 2026, it was released by Öztürk's lawyers that federal Judge Roopal Patel had ruled in January 2026 that there were no grounds to deport her. Judge Patel also blocked any further proceedings against her, although the federal government can appeal the decision to the Board of Immigration Appeals.[34] On February 18, 2026, Öztürk reflected on her experience, trauma, and oppression in a story for The Guardian.[35] Öztürk received her PhD from Tufts in February 2026.[36] "
