A contentious hearing is underway in Washington, D. C., where lawyers for the Trump administration are facing off with a federal judge pushing for answers over whether she was deliberately misled by the government over why it removed hundreds of trees from a local public golf course. D. C. District Judge Ana Reyes has ordered testimony from Interior Department official Gregory Wischer and acting Director of the National Park Service Jessica Bowron over why the government moved abruptly on Columbus Day weekend to remove more than 500 trees from East Potomac golf course without giving her proper advance notice. Last week, Reyes erupted at attorneys for the government after the trees were removed despite her demanding the administration alert her in advance if it planned any significant alterations to the course given ongoing litigation. The golf course has been the subject of litigation brought by the D. C. Preservation League in response to President Donald Trump's efforts to turn it into a course that could host professional tournaments.

Big assertions, sharp exchanges, little clarity define DOJ election battle with California

First came the letter from acting Deputy Atty. Gen. Trent McCotter — just three weeks before the Nov. 3 election — demanding that Los Angeles County’s top election official launch a sweeping investigation into thousands of voters the Trump administration alleges are “likely noncitizens” and withhold their ballots in the meantime. The letter arrived with a thumb drive purporting to contain the list of voters in question, and a handwritten note providing the password. Dean Logan, head of the L. A. County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk’s office, said accessing the device would break security protocols, and he wouldn’t open it. Then came an Excel spreadsheet, listing some 20,000 voters by name, date of birth and address. It appeared to include voters from across California, not just L. A. County, and provided no information on the Trump administration’s methodology for questioning those voters. Logan’s office again pushed back. Dean Logan, head of the L. A. County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk’s office, attends the opening of a new ballot processing center in City of Industry in 2024.

Alaska Employment: Positive Job Growth While September Unemployment Rate Holds Flat - Alaska Business Magazine

DOLWD counted 347,000 total nonfarm jobs in September, down from a revised 355,600 in August but 300 more than in September 2025, for a growth rate of 0.1 percent. The increase in September is the first growth since April; jobs totals were flat in May and negative all summer. Growth came from the private sector while the government sector continued to shed jobs. Federal, state, and local employment, which includes public schools, rose in September to 77,900 from a revised 74,600 in August, but that compares to 79,800 a year earlier, a difference of 2.4 percent. Federal employment, which excludes uniformed military, was flat since August but down by 1,300 jobs since September 2025. State and local government employment both rose since August but were down by 400 and 200 jobs, respectively, compared to a year earlier.
