judge blocks #Trump #religious exemption to #BirthControl
A US judge on Wednesday struck down rules adopted during Trump's first term that exempt employers with religious or *moral* objections from providing workers with #HealthInsurance coverage for #contraception.
US District Judge Wendy Beetlestone in Philadelphia said the 2018 rules were not justified, rejecting the Trump admin's claims that they were necessary to protect the rights of religious employers.

A judge ruled Thurs that Trump’s former personal atty, Alina Habba, has been unlawfully serving as the the top federal prosecutor in #NJ.
“I conclude that she is not statutorily eligible to perform the functions & duties of the office of the United States Attorney & has therefore unlawfully held the role since July 24, 2025,” US Dist Judge Matthew Brann wrote.

#Trump demanded on Wednesday that a #FederalReserve governor, #LisaCook, “resign, now!!!,” citing unconfirmed allegations that she *may* have engaged in mortgage fraud. It is the latest sign that the admin is ramping up its campaign to remake the #independent #CentralBank. Trump has pressured the bank to lower #InterestRates, which it has kept steady out of concern that his policies could cause #inflation.
