The U.S. Supreme Court ruled 7-2 that Monsanto is not responsible under state laws for not warning consumers about cancer risks on its weedkiller Roundup’s label. The court said federal law controls pesticide labeling and requires using the EPA-approved label, which does not include a cancer warning.
Key Facts
The case is Monsanto Co. v. Durnell.
The ruling says federal pesticide laws prevent state lawsuits about missing cancer warnings on Roundup.
The EPA requires Monsanto to use a label approved by the agency, which does not mention cancer.
Seven justices, including Justice Kavanaugh and Chief Justice Roberts, voted in favor of Monsanto.
Two justices, Ketanji Brown Jackson and Neil Gorsuch, disagreed with the decision.
Bayer owns Monsanto since 2018 and proposed a $7.25 billion settlement for current and future Roundup claims.
The settlement would involve payments over up to 21 years if approved by a Missouri court.
Thousands of users allege Roundup caused non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, a type of blood cancer.

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled 6-3 to strike down a Hawaii law that required people to get permission before carrying guns into stores and hotels. This means people can carry guns on private property open to the public unless the owners specifically ban them.
Key Facts
The Supreme Court decision supports Second Amendment rights, which protect gun ownership.
The 2023 Hawaii law required people to get permission before bringing guns into certain private businesses, sometimes called the “vampire rule.”
The Court ruled that private business owners can still ban guns if they choose to.
The case was supported by President Donald Trump’s Republican administration.
This ruling follows a 2022 Supreme Court decision expanding gun rights in public places.
Hawaii still has other gun restrictions for places like parks, beaches, and bars, but those were not part of this case.
The suit was filed by a gun rights group and three residents from Maui.
This case is one of several recent Supreme Court cases about gun ownership and restrictions.

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled 7-2 in favor of Bayer, the maker of Roundup weedkiller, blocking thousands of lawsuits that claimed the product caused cancer without proper warning. The Court said federal rules that found little cancer risk override state laws, stopping many cases from moving forward.
Key Facts
The Supreme Court decision prevents many lawsuits against Bayer over Roundup’s cancer risks.
Bayer bought Monsanto, the original maker of Roundup, in 2018.
The ruling is linked to a case from Missouri where a man with cancer won $1.25 million in damages.
The World Health Organization called glyphosate, Roundup’s key ingredient, “probably carcinogenic” in 2015, but the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) disagrees and says cancer is unlikely if used properly.
Bayer set aside $16 billion for lawsuits and recently offered a $7.25 billion settlement.
About 200,000 claims related to Roundup have been filed, mostly by home users.
Bayer stopped selling Roundup with glyphosate for home use in the U.S. but may stop selling it for farming if lawsuits continue.
The ruling aligns with President Donald Trump’s administration’s stance but conflicts with advocates seeking restrictions on pesticides.

The U.S. Supreme Court allowed the Trump administration to potentially restart a U.S.-Mexico border policy that limited how many people could request asylum each day. This policy, called "metering," was previously used during the Obama and Trump administrations but was ended under President Biden.
Key Facts
The Supreme Court voted 6-3 to overturn a lower court blocking of the metering policy.
Metering limits the number of asylum seekers allowed to apply daily at U.S. border crossings.
The policy was first used during President Obama’s time and expanded during President Trump’s first term.
Critics say metering caused unsafe conditions for migrants waiting in shelters near the border.
The Trump administration called the policy necessary to manage high numbers of asylum seekers.
The policy ended in 2020 during the coronavirus pandemic and was formally canceled by President Biden in 2021.
Federal law requires people arriving in the U.S. to be screened for asylum eligibility.
The Justice Department says people who are stopped before entering are not yet "arrived" and do not have to be allowed to apply.

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled 6-3 against a Hawaii law that required gun owners to get permission before carrying concealed firearms on private property open to the public. The Court said this law violated the Second Amendment right to carry guns for self-defense, blocking the law and putting similar restrictions in other states at risk.
Key Facts
The Supreme Court decision was 6-3 along ideological lines.
Hawaii's law required licensed gun owners to get property owners' permission before carrying concealed guns in places like stores and restaurants.
The Court found this law placed an unconstitutional burden on the right to carry firearms for self-defense.
This ruling affects similar laws in states such as New York, California, and New Jersey.
The case, Wolford v. Lopez, tested the limits of state power to regulate carrying guns after the 2022 Bruen decision.
The Trump administration supported the challengers, arguing the law violated the Second Amendment.
Justices debated whether the issue was mainly about gun rights or property rights.
No U.S. state outright bans concealed carry but some restrict it heavily in public.

The US Supreme Court ruled 7-2 in favor of the former Monsanto company, blocking many lawsuits that claimed Roundup’s main chemical causes cancer. The court decided that federal law overseeing pesticides prevents state lawsuits about failing to warn users when the EPA has not required such warnings.
Key Facts
The case is Monsanto v Durnell and centers on whether federal pesticide law stops state claims about warning labels.
The court referenced the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (Fifra) for its decision.
Justice Brett Kavanaugh wrote the majority opinion; Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson dissented.
Glyphosate, the main chemical in Roundup, was labeled a probable cancer risk by the World Health Organization in 2015.
Bayer, which owns Monsanto, faces over 100,000 lawsuits claiming glyphosate caused cancer but argues the EPA’s approval means no warning was needed.
The EPA says glyphosate is unlikely to cause cancer and has not required cancer warnings on labels.
The ruling also affects similar lawsuits against Syngenta, accused of causing Parkinson’s disease with a different pesticide.
Environmental groups disagree with the decision, saying it protects companies instead of people and the environment.

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that Hawaii's law requiring people with concealed-carry permits to get permission before bringing guns onto private property open to the public is unconstitutional. This decision supports gun owners' Second Amendment rights and does not change rules about guns in sensitive places like schools or government buildings.
Key Facts
The Supreme Court struck down Hawaii's "vampire rule," which required gun owners to ask for permission to carry firearms on private property open to the public.
The ruling follows a 2022 Supreme Court decision recognizing the right to carry firearms outside the home.
Hawaii's law made it a crime to carry a gun without permission, punishable by up to one year in prison.
The case was brought by three Maui residents and the Hawaii Firearms Coalition, claiming the law violated the Second Amendment.
A lower court first ruled against Hawaii's law, but the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals upheld it before the Supreme Court took the case.
The Trump administration supported the gun owners, calling the law "blatantly unconstitutional."
The decision does not affect Hawaii's restrictions on guns in bars, beaches, parks, schools, or government buildings.
Four other states have similar laws restricting gun carry on private property, but courts have blocked them in New York, California, and Maryland.

The US Supreme Court ruled that Hawaii’s law banning guns in many public places and on private property without owner permission violates the Second Amendment. This decision follows a 2022 ruling that requires gun laws to align with historical firearm regulations.
Key Facts
Hawaii’s 2023 law banned carrying guns on private property without the owner’s consent and in designated “sensitive places” like beaches and bars.
Three Maui residents and the Hawaii Firearms Coalition challenged the law, citing Second Amendment rights.
The Supreme Court used a 2022 decision (Bruen v. New York) that says gun laws must match the nation’s historical rules on firearms.
The plaintiffs said Hawaii’s list of sensitive places was too broad, covering nearly all public gathering spots.
Recent cases show the court sometimes upholds gun restrictions, like a federal law barring gun ownership by people with domestic violence restraining orders.
Another recent ruling removed the ban on bump stocks, gun accessories that enable rapid fire, originally banned after the 2017 Las Vegas shooting.
The bump stock ruling focused on whether a federal agency went beyond its authority, not directly on the Second Amendment issue.

The Supreme Court decided in a 6-3 vote that the U.S. government can legally stop asylum seekers from entering at border ports before they reach U.S. soil. This ruling supports a previous immigration policy that the Trump administration used and may want to bring back.
Key Facts
The Supreme Court made the decision on Thursday with a 6-3 vote.
The ruling allows the government to turn away asylum seekers before they reach official U.S. border entry points.
The policy in question is called “metering,” which limits how many asylum seekers can enter at once.
"Metering" started during President Obama’s administration.
The policy was later ended but could be reinstated under President Trump’s administration.
The vote followed ideological lines, meaning justices voted largely based on their political or legal views.
The decision affects how the U.S. handles people seeking protection from violence or danger in other countries.
