Fox News: 800,000 noncitizens could soon be voting in New York City's elections
New York's top court will hear arguments on a city law permitting noncitizens to vote in local elections.

This case arises amid rising tensions over the city's handling of migrants and the opening of a large male-only shelter in the Bronx, which has sparked community concerns.
Fox News: 'Constitutional crisis': The Impoundment Control Act takes center stage amid Russell Vought's confirmation
A power struggle over government spending is escalating in Washington, D.C., with Senate Democrats labeling it a "constitutional crisis." The conflict centers around President Trump's nominee for the Office of Management and Budget, Russell Vought, and his stance on the Impoundment Control Act, which restricts the executive branch's ability to withhold appropriated funds without congressional approval.
Despite legal experts asserting that the Impoundment Control Act is constitutional, Vought and Trump argue otherwise, raising concerns among Democrats about potential overreach. Following a controversial OMB memo freezing federal grants, opposition to Vought's nomination intensified, with critics warning that his leadership could undermine congressional authority over federal spending.
