The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday refused to let the Postal Service enforce a rule aimed at mail-in ballots, dealing a setback to President Donald Trump’s effort to curb voting by mail before November’s midterm elections, which will decide control of Congress.

The US Supreme Court refused to authorize the Postal Service to enforce new mail-ballot restrictions for congressional midterm elections, rebuffing the Trump administration’s request for intervention after early voting began in several states.
The US Supreme Court rejected President Donald Trump’s effort to restrict mail-in voting before the November midterm elections. The justices said election officials lacked enough time to implement the rule, allowing states to continue sending mail ballots under their longstanding procedures.
Before the midterm elections, the Supreme Court turned down Donald Trump’s push to curb ballots submitted by mail.
The Supreme Court left in place a lower-court ruling that blocks the U.S. Postal Service from putting new restrictions on mail-in voting into effect.
The court refused to let President Donald Trump change the nationwide process through which voters receive mail ballots, rejecting the controversial plan.
The Supreme Court rejected Donald Trump’s request to lift a block on a rule concerning mail-in ballots. Justice Brett Kavanaugh said applying the Postal Service rule in the 2026 midterm elections would be “arbitrary and capricious.”
The U.S. Supreme Court has, for now, rejected President Donald Trump’s effort to restrict mail ballots ahead of the midterm elections.
The Supreme Court ruled that Trump cannot enforce a new regulation on mail-in ballots. As a result, a Postal Service measure that could prevent ballots from being sent to voters will not take effect for November’s midterm elections.

The Iran-backed Houthis have seized parts of Yemen’s Red Sea coastline and tightened control over islands there, giving them influence over a vital global shipping route.

Africa’s richest man, Aliko Dangote, launched an IPO on Monday for his $19 billion Nigerian oil refinery, seeking $1.6 billion from retail investors across the continent. The offering values Africa’s largest refinery at about $49 billion, attracting strong interest while raising concerns about its high valuation.
FFrance 24Original★★★☆☆2026-09-15 00:05
Nigerian billionaire Aliko Dangote has launched Africa’s biggest-ever share sale, listing 4.1 billion shares in his Lagos refinery. He called it a “people’s IPO” intended to give all Nigerians a chance to benefit from the plant’s wealth potential. Trading is expected to begin in November. Global oil prices also rose as Houthi attacks led Saudi Arabia to shut its East-West oil pipeline.
Nigeria’s Dangote refinery is opening up to public ownership and plans to raise $1.6 billion from retail investors across the continent. President Felix Tshisekedi has called on the National Service to clean Kinshasa’s streets, while the Youth Olympic flame begins touring Senegal ahead of the Games.
Nigerian billionaire Aliko Dangote has launched Africa’s largest share sale, offering the public about 3% of his refinery in an IPO that could raise up to $2.1bn. He says the sale will let ordinary Nigerians share in the plant’s success, while experts warn that prices could fall and urge buyers to avoid investing money they need soon.
Aliko Dangote plans to raise about $1.6 billion through an IPO of Dangote Industries to help fund a $14.3 billion expansion that would double the refinery’s capacity to 1.4 million barrels per day. The offer is pitched as a way for millions of Nigerians to own a stake, but affordability remains in question despite a 525-naira price per share and a 10-share minimum.
Aliko Dangote’s Nigerian refinery business has launched what is described as Africa’s biggest-ever IPO. If fully subscribed, Dangote could add $23bn to his $35bn fortune, while the refinery’s valuation is expected to reach about 65.22tn naira. The offering is aimed at institutional and retail investors, particularly young Nigerians.
Nigerian billionaire Aliko Dangote launched an initial public offering for his oil refinery on Monday, calling it Africa’s largest share sale to date. The IPO opens ownership of the plant to retail investors and raises funds for expansion.
Nigeria’s Dangote Group plans to sell 4.1 billion shares in its oil refinery, seeking to raise 2.15 trillion naira ($1.6 billion). The offering is expected to become Africa’s largest initial public offering to date.
Nigeria’s Dangote Group is offering the public a 3.3% stake in its 700,000-barrel-per-day oil refinery, in a transaction expected to be the largest of its kind in Africa.
Aliko Dangote, long Africa’s richest man, is poised for a $23 billion rise up the global wealth rankings as he launches an IPO for his refinery, in what would be the continent’s largest offering yet.

Macklemore has been removed from Ed Sheeran’s US tour following remarks supporting Palestine.
American rapper Macklemore said Monday that he was removed from Ed Sheeran’s US stadium tour after chanting “Free Palestine” at a September 4 concert in New Jersey. The move followed pressure from venue owners, including New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft, over his criticism of Israel’s actions in Gaza.
Macklemore says he was removed from Ed Sheeran’s US tour because of his pro-Palestinian position. He alleges billionaire Robert Kraft pressured Sheeran over his involvement, after Pink had also condemned the rapper’s “Free Palestine” remarks.
Macklemore says he was removed from Ed Sheeran’s Loop tour after making pro-Palestinian comments onstage earlier this month at New Jersey’s MetLife Stadium.
Gillette Stadium owner Robert Kraft said Macklemore was barred from performances there on September 25 and 26 because of his recent performances and what Kraft called a broader history of antisemitic rhetoric and imagery. Macklemore said his support for Palestine led to his removal from Ed Sheeran’s tour, and the promoter confirmed he would not perform on the remaining support dates. Al Jazeera has not independently verified his account, and Sheeran has not commented.
Macklemore says U.S. stadium owners pressured Ed Sheeran to remove him from the rest of the tour. Rolling Stone reported that several American venues said they would not host the concerts if the rapper, an outspoken Palestinian advocate, remained on the lineup.

Anthropic chief executive Dario Amodei has urged developers to slow down and increase monitoring, while people in Washington DC told the BBC how worried they are about the technology’s pace.
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei called for slower frontier AI development, proposing independent evaluators, coordination among companies, and government cooperation. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and other industry leaders backed the direction, while President Trump opposed a slowdown and said the US must keep leading China in AI.
