Lead

The US Supreme Court is expected to wrap up its current term in the coming days, with several major cases still pending, including three involving President Donald Trump's expansive assertion of presidential powers, two election-related cases, and one concerning state restrictions on transgender athletes. The court, which has a 6-3 conservative majority, has seven disputes still to be resolved and has set Monday as its next day to issue rulings, according to the Jerusalem Post.

Coverage Comparison

The Guardian's live blog highlights the court's pending decisions on Trump's efforts to restrict birthright citizenship, fire heads of independent agencies, and remove a sitting Federal Reserve governor, as well as cases on transgender athletes and election laws. The Jerusalem Post provides a more procedural overview, noting the court's composition and the timeline for wrapping up its term.

Both sources agree that the term has been dominated by questions of presidential power, with the Guardian noting the court is "running behind" schedule with 20 cases still to rule on, while the Jerusalem Post specifies seven disputes remain.

Key Claims

The Supreme Court has seven disputes remaining, including three centered on Trump's assertion of presidential powers, as reported by the Jerusalem Post.
The court is expected to conclude its term in the coming days, with rulings scheduled for Monday.
Trump's cases involve his moves to fire a Federal Reserve Board governor and a Federal Trade Commission member, and his executive order limiting birthright citizenship, according to the Jerusalem Post.
The Guardian adds that the court is also weighing whether to uphold laws in roughly half the states that prohibit transgender girls and women from playing on public school and college sports.
Two election-related cases remain, concerning mail-in ballot grace periods and limits on political party spending, as reported by both sources.
The court gave Trump victories in two immigration-related cases on Thursday and backed him in multiple emergency rulings since he took office, the Jerusalem Post reported.
In February, the court rejected Trump's sweeping tariffs issued under a national emergencies law, a significant loss for the administration.

Additional Developments

The Guardian also reported that former President Joe Biden criticized Trump, saying he has diminished America's standing in the world "more than any president in history." Biden made the remarks at a Democratic Party gala in Maryland. The Guardian also noted escalating strikes between Iran and the US, which it says are undermining a fragile interim peace agreement, and that migrants on temporary protected status are being told to seek permanent residence or leave.

The Jerusalem Post did not cover these developments in the provided material.

What was claimed, and who backed it

Each row is one claim, attributed to the outlet whose wording states it most clearly. Confidence rates how directly the source text states the claim — explicit and unhedged rates high; hedged, pieced-together, or internally inconsistent statements rate lower. It does not measure whether the claim is true. Status counts the distinct outlets we found asserting it — so a single-source claim can still show high confidence, and a multi-source claim can show medium. Every one of those outlets is named beside the status, so you can check the count against the list. For claims extracted before we began storing that list, the row says so: it names the outlet the claim is quoted from and states that we have not recorded which outlets backed it. Outlets wrote at different times, so a figure that evolves — a casualty count, for example — can legitimately differ between rows; check the "as of" time next to each claim's source.
