Business
— Oct 22, 2026

The dispute underscores the challenge of building U.S. magnet production as China dominates global supply and GM reassesses its electric-vehicle business; Energy Fuels has said the conflict could affect its planned acquisition of VAC.

Supreme Court to Hear Cases on Religious Preschools and Magnet Admissions
Supreme Court of the United States
— Oct 19, 2026
The Supreme Court agreed to hear a challenge to Montgomery County, Maryland’s lottery-based admissions policy for four selective magnet middle schools, with parents alleging it disadvantages Asian American students and violates the 14th Amendment. The case centers on what evidence is needed to bring such a discrimination claim; the county says its current lottery is race-neutral, and the court is not being asked to decide the broader constitutionality of race-conscious admissions.
