Supreme Court limits outside access to DOGE records
The Supreme Court has reined in a lower-court order that allowed a watchdog group wide-ranging access to records of the Trump administration's Department of Government Efficiency. The high court's majority said a judge's directive allowing Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington to examine DOGE's recommendations for cost savings at executive branch agencies was 'not appropriately tailored.' In a two-page order Friday, the Supreme Court said such access was not a proper way to resolve an ongoing dispute about whether DOGE is a federal agency subject to the Freedom of Information Act or operates as a presidential advisory body that does not have to share its records with the public. 'Separation of powers concerns counsel judicial deference and restraint in the context of discovery regarding internal Executive Branch communications,' the court's majority wrote. All three of the court's liberal justices indicated they disagreed with the decision, but none provided an explanation of her views.

iPhone users complain of Mail app glitches after iOS 18.5 update: See workarounds
iPhone users complain of Mail app glitches after iOS 18.5 update: See workarounds Show Caption Hide Caption Apple may increase iPhone prices, reluctant to blame tariffs, says report Apple may raise prices on its iPhones, but is reluctant to publicly blame Trump's China tariffs as the company faces higher costs. Straight Arrow News Encountering crashes or freezing and blank screens when trying to open the Mail app on your iPhone? You're not alone. Apple users across the internet have complained of poor functionality with Mail and other apps, and the culprit appears to be the latest iOS 18.5 update, at least according to disgruntled customers. While Apple's support System Status page showed all services were online on the afternoon of Friday, June 6, users on Apple Support Communities threads, Reddit, and other social media platforms and forums continued to report issues with functionality. The crux of the complaints began around June 4, nearly a month after 18.5 was released on May 13. It is unclear why the issue would arise so long after the release, but it appears to impact iPhones of all ages and varieties, making the update the only common denominator. Some posts have indicated that the owners only recently downloaded 18.5, despite it being available for weeks. Some users complained about other hiccups since downloading iOS 18.5, including slow app loading, crashes, and misaligned visual assets. The posts appear to indicate that models older than the iPhone 16 are encountering the most issues. Apple did not respond to USA TODAY's request for comment or more information on June 6. The tech giant has not acknowledged the reported issue publicly on its website, in support community posts or on its official social media accounts as of late Friday afternoon. How to fix your Apple Mail app While Apple has not yet released an official fix to the issue, some users have discovered a few workarounds. One user said a local Apple support representative advised resetting network settings to temporarily relieve the issues. You can do so by following this path on your iPhone: Settings > General > Transfer or Reset [Device] > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Other users reported success using the suggested network reset method. Some others reported that changing autocorrect and keyboard settings temporarily improved Mail functionality, though this could be coincidental more than anything. If you'd like to try it anyway, follow these steps: Settings > General > Keyboard > then disable features including 'Auto-Correction' and 'Smart Punctuation." Others said that going into the App Store and manually starting an update of their Mail app fixed the issue, while some did the classic restart or delete and redownload. However, relief was reportedly short-lived for some of those who did initially see improvement after force restarting their phones or the app. It is unclear when Apple will issue an official fix or send out another software update, nonetheless, users seem to be making do with the workarounds shared online.

‘Over the finish line': Tuberville says passing spending bill bolster economic growth
ALABAMA (WHNT) — As the Big Beautiful Bill is under consideration in the Senate, an Alabama Senator says his top priority is to get the spending bill passed. U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville said Thursday the legislation is likely to undergo some significant changes while in the Senate, but he said his ultimate goal was to get the bill over the finish line. Alabama Agriculture Commissioner Rick Pate to run for lieutenant governor 'The number one priority in this bill is getting the jobs and tax cuts done,' Tuberville said. The spending bill has received criticism from conservatives over the past few days, including the former head of the Department of Governmental Efficiency. Elon Musk has called the bill an 'abomination,' posting on social media platform X about how the spending bill will significantly increase the national debt. 'The problem that Elon Musk looks at, I look at it different,' Tuberville told members of the press on Thursday. 'Number one, the way to grow this country is to get the tax cuts done and that tax cuts are in this bill and we need to make them permanent.' Tuberville said he and his colleagues have complained that Democrats spend too much money. He said he wants to cut back on how much can be cut from this bill. 'There's a lot of things the federal government, in this bill, is trying to send down to the states,' Tuberville said. 'We can't afford it in Alabama. We can't afford to pick up the tab for a federal government agency that was started years ago by the federal government. We don't need it in the state.' Tuberville said he is looking to the future to make changes. 'Remember, we will do another reconciliation after this,' Tuberville said. 'We have two more in the next year and a half, so whatever we don't get done in this bill, hopefully we can get done in the next.' The president has given Republicans in the Senate a tight deadline to pass the spending bill, asking them to have it on his desk by July 4th. The Tax Foundation estimates the bill passed by the House of Representatives will add more than $2 trillion to the national deficit over the next 10 years. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
