💡 Why it matters

This could disrupt GOP voting restrictions and chill Trump's crackdown on AI companies, with potential ripple effects on midterm turnout and tech regulation.

A federal judge on Thursday issued a 14-day hold on Trump's executive order limiting mail-in voting, just a week before ballots are due for the midterms. Another federal judge separately ruled unlawful the administration's blacklisting of AI company Anthropic.
