  "summary": "Vietnam War veterans are seeking an emergency court order to block the administration from breaking ground on President Trump's proposed triumphal arch in the Washington D.C. area. The veterans, along with an architectural historian, filed a temporary restraining order request.\n\nA separate court ruling on Friday extended a ban on the US Postal Service implementing a new rule that would tighten mail-in voting requirements. The ruling, issued by US District Judge Indira Talwani, stated that only laws passed by Congress can supersede states' authority over elections.\n\nThe US Postal Service's new rule was deemed unconstitutional by Talwani, who wrote that it clashes with Congress's statutory scheme. The administration has filed a notice of appeal, and the USPS has defended its handling of the issue.",
