🚨BREAKING: The Supreme Court just set the stage for another historic term.

Nine cases. All political dynamite:

— Trans males in girls’ sports
— Donor privacy
— Redistricting by race
— Election Day ballot deadlines
— And more!

Here’s what’s coming—and why it matters 🧵

2/ 🔥 Two blockbuster cases will decide if states can ban biological males from competing in girls’ and women’s sports.

Idaho, West Virginia, and Donald Trump say yes. Federal courts said no.

This fall, SCOTUS could finally draw the line between reality and gender ideology.

3/ 🎯 Colorado banned therapists from counseling minors who want to fight unwanted same-sex attraction or gender confusion.

But affirming it? Totally fine.

The Court will now decide: Can the government ban certain views in private conversations?

4/ 🗳️ Louisiana redrew its Congressional map to create two black-majority districts. Non-black voters sued for racial discrimination.

The Court refused to rule in June—but it’s coming back.

The future of race, redistricting—and the House majority—may hang in the balance.

5/ 💰Can a political party coordinate more spending with its own candidates?

Right now, the FEC limits how much party committees can help their own nominees.

Trump’s team wants that wall torn down. It’s free speech. The Court may finally agree.

6/ 📮 A Republican congressman is challenging Illinois’s law allowing ballots to be counted if they are received up to 14 days after Election Day. !!!

If he wins, late ballot counting could be banned nationwide—and Election Day could finally mean Election Day again.

7/ 🔒 New Jersey’s Democrat AG demanded donor lists from a pro-life pregnancy center.

Because THAT'S not a recipe for targeting your opposition's donors. Sheesh.

The Court will decide if donors can be harassed by govt officials just for giving to the "wrong" cause.

8/ 📢 A Mississippi preacher was arrested for preaching near a concert, then barred from suing the city.

The question: If you’re convicted under a possibly unconstitutional law, can you challenge it—or is your First Amendment gone forever?

9/ 🇺🇸 A wounded Army veteran sued a defense contractor for negligence after a suicide bombing.

But the courts say he can’t sue—not even in state court.

The Court must decide: Do military contractors share the government's sovereign immunity?

10/ ⚖️ Alabama tried to execute a man with multiple IQ scores above 70.

A federal court said that wasn’t enough to prove he wasn’t “intellectually disabled.”

SCOTUS will now decide whether IQ tests should protect guilty people who just happen to be stupid.

11/ This is the most politically charged SCOTUS term in a generation.

From sports to speech to elections, the Court will set the tone for 2026—and 2028.
