 The Supreme Court is unlikely to embrace the broadest version of Mr. Trump’s argument: that all of this was official conduct that cannot be the subject of a criminal prosecution. But the case is complicated enough that the justices may not issue a definitive ruling. WorkU.S. Secretly Shipped New Long-Range Missiles to Ukraine
 In a major policy shift, President Biden secretly approved the decision to send more than 100 of the longer-range missiles in mid-February, the senior U.S. official said, as well as more of the cluster munition variant.

WorkHomeless Georgians Could Face Hurdles to Voting Under New Legislation
 The full impact of the change is unclear.

In late March, the justices considered the availability of the abortion pill mifepristone. WorkDuring a Chaotic Day, Columbia?s President Fights for Her Job

 But NPR’s troubles extend far beyond concerns about its journalism. Internal documents reviewed by The Times and interviews with more than two dozen current and former public radio executives show how profoundly the nonprofit is struggling to succeed in the fast-changing media industry.

 “First and foremost, we want the effect to be for Columbia, because that’s what we have power over,” said Ray Guerrero, a graduate student at Columbia’s School of Public Health who is an organizer with Columbia University Apartheid Divest, a student-led movement. “But we hope this expands, so these companies understand what the ramifications are.” WorkMeta Says It Plans to Spend Billions More on A.I.
 “Meta’s earnings should serve as a stark warning for companies reporting this earnings season,” said Thomas Monteiro, a senior analyst at Investing.com.
