US-Saudi Nuclear Pact Tied to Abraham Accords

The Trump administration is weighing a civil nuclear accord with Saudi Arabia that could permit limited domestic uranium enrichment and possibly reprocessing without the IAEA’s Additional Protocol, with the draft awaiting President Trump’s signature despite talks ending in October 2025. Delays are attributed to the war with Iran and concerns in Congress about bipartisan opposition, as experts warn the deal could heighten proliferation risk without stronger bilateral safeguards.

Federal court denies injunction on Tennessee redistrictingGOP

Federal court denies injunction on Tennessee redistricting

Federal courts repeatedly denied injunctions challenging Tennessee’s recently redrawn congressional maps, with judges finding insufficient evidence of racial motivation and that plaintiffs were unlikely to succeed on the merits, including rulings that the maps eliminate the state’s sole majority-Black district around Memphis. The cases reflect ongoing litigation tied to shifts in voting rights jurisprudence after the Supreme Court’s changes to the Voting Rights Act and concerns over partisan advantage and minority representation.
