In 2024, the U.S. Supreme Court made significant rulings affecting various legal areas, including Title IX protections for transgender students, the powers of the administrative state, and online content regulation.

Times Of Israel: As Turkey moves in following Assad’s fall, Syria’s Kurds are on the defensive
Kurdish factions in northern Syria face increasing challenges as Turkish-backed groups gain momentum and the Syrian government shifts towards Ankara. The Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) are at risk of losing the political gains made during the Syrian conflict, particularly with the rise of Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) following the ousting of Bashar al-Assad.
Amidst this turmoil, U.S. support for the SDF remains uncertain with a change in administration on the horizon. Kurdish officials express a willingness to engage in dialogue with Turkey, but tensions persist as Ankara views Kurdish groups as security threats. The evolving dynamics could lead to significant shifts in control and governance in the region.
