  • Good morning.

  • President Trump notches a victory in his ongoing ballroom battle.

  • What you need to know about mail-in ballots ahead of the midterm elections.

  • Mail voting is just as secure as voting in person.

  • It’s been used for over a century in the US.

  • There’s rarely any major issues with it.

  • And a conviction in the murder of Tupac Shakur, 30 years later.

  • It’s Tuesday, September 1st.

  • I’m Gideon Resnick.

  • This is Apple News Today.

  • President Trump can continue with his construction of the White House ballroom after a Supreme Court ruling yesterday.

  • In a 5-4 decision, the court effectively brushed aside the views of two lower courts

  • that the president was probably violating the law.

  • Justin Jouvenal is a Supreme Court reporter for the Washington Post.

  • He explained why the National Trust for Historic Preservation sued and ultimately lost.

  • They did not have what’s known as standing,

  • which in legal terms means you have to have suffered a real-world injury

  • before you can bring a lawsuit challenging something.

  • A trust board member had said that she would suffer professional and personal injuries if construction continued.

  • The court didn’t agree, saying that, quote, "mere offense is not enough to constitute injury."
