Judge Blocks Loyalty Questions Across 70,000 Federal Jobs
x/donald-john-trump
— 21h
A federal judge blocked the Trump administration from requiring federal job applicants to answer loyalty questions about President Donald Trump, ruling the practice likely violated free-speech rights and the merit-based, nonpartisan civil service. The injunction affects more than 70,000 postings, with unions arguing the questions politicized hiring, while the administration contends the questions were voluntary and not about loyalty.

— Sep 4, 2026
Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass is refunding $9,700 in campaign contributions from Danny Bakewell Sr. and other leaders of the Brotherhood Crusade-Black United Fund after The Times questioned whether donors tied to a city-contracted anti-gang nonprofit violated ethics rules. The donations come as the mayor, who is in a runoff, faces scrutiny over a contract worth millions awarded to the nonprofit and the city’s campaign-finance restrictions on contractors and their principals.

Japan's August foreign exchange reserves dropped a record $79.6 billion to about $1.208 trillion as the government stepped in to defend the yen, with an August intervention tally of about 15.4 trillion yen. Officials largely funded the move by selling foreign securities, predominantly U.S. Treasuries, fueling market concerns about Treasury supply and prompting analysts to consider strategies for yen-driven volatility.
