The president has reworked his tariffs repeatedly — sometimes because they have been declared illegal — with more updates still to come.

The Supreme Court has ruled that, under the Voting Rights Act, Congressional districts can no longer be drawn along racial lines, but can be shaped by partisan aims. The result: A dash to re-draw voting districts in several states. What does this portend for democracy?

In 1965, President Johnson signed the Voting Rights Act, a momentous piece of civil rights legislation that broke down barriers facing Black voters. Last month, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that voting districts can no longer be drawn along racial lines, but could be shaped by partisan aims. The result: a dash to re-draw voting districts in several states. "Sunday Morning" national correspondent Robert Costa talks with key voices about what the Court's ruling portends for democracy.

Are America’s college students doing to themselves what the Chinese Communist state does to its citizens? An Ivy League professor—an old-fashioned liberal who actually cares about free speech—recently warned me about what’s happening in classrooms like his. He encourages class discussion of the great books he teaches in class—but students are afraid to speak, not because they’re afraid of the professor but because they fear each other. Communist regimes have tried to s

Catherine West says she is ready to challenge Keir Starmer but minister Bridget Phillipson backs the PM and warns against infighting.

Russian President Vladimir Putin told reporters on Saturday he believes the war he started in Ukraine more than four years ago is coming to an end. Russian and Ukraine are in the middle of a three-day ceasefire brokered by President Donald Trump.

Is this it? If Catherine West does not withdraw her threat to trigger a leadership election on Monday, by informing the NEC of her intentions and emailing every Labour MP to seek their support for a challenge to Keir Starmer, then events will gain a momentum of their own thanks to the relentless logic of the Labour party rule book.
