Supreme Court rules for Catholic charity on unemployment tax
The Supreme Court unanimously ruled that a Wisconsin Catholic Charities Bureau is not required to pay unemployment taxes while other religious groups are exempt. Wisconsin argued the charity’s daily work isn’t religious teaching, but Becket Fund praised the decision as a major First Amendment victory. Critics say nonprofit religious status should not change tax treatment.

Trump suggests letting Ukraine and Russia fight for a while
In the Oval Office meeting with German Merz, President Trump said it might be better to let Ukraine and Russia fight for a while before pulling them apart and pursuing peace. He likened the conflict to two young children at odds and said he told Putin the analogy. Merz stressed unity on stopping the bloodshed and Germany's support for Ukraine while rejecting a dictated peace. Trump warned that sanctions could be imposed if the conflict persists.
