Supreme Court to decide on Trump’s birthright citizenship order
The U.S. Supreme Court has agreed to hear arguments on the constitutionality of President Trump’s executive order restricting birthright citizenship for children born in the United States to parents who are in the country illegally or temporarily. The case, which could have sweeping implications for the interpretation of the 14th Amendment, follows a lower court's rejection of Trump’s order and comes as part of a broader review of several Trump administration policies. Both USA Today and The Guardian note that the justices will likely issue a definitive ruling by early summer, with the case already drawing significant national attention due to its potential impact on American citizenship norms. CNBC and The Hill add that this is part of a series of high-profile cases the Court is considering this term, including presidential powers and agency independence.

Federal judge orders release of Epstein grand jury materials under new law

According to The Guardian, USA Today, and the Wall Street Journal, this ruling overrides traditional grand jury secrecy, requiring the Department of Justice to make unclassified records and investigative materials public by December 19. The move is widely viewed as a landmark in transparency for high-profile criminal investigations.

Social Stability and Public Health: Vaccine Guidance and Security Strategy
CDC panel withdraws universal newborn hepatitis B vaccine recommendation
A key panel at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) voted to end the longstanding policy recommending all newborns in the U.S. receive a hepatitis B vaccine at birth.

Kennedy Jr., will instead recommend vaccination only for babies whose mothers test positive or have not been tested. This marks a significant shift in public health policy, raising concerns among many healthcare professionals about potential increases in preventable infections.
