Second Amendment vs. the courts: The Trump Justice Department is backing gun-rights lawsuits, including two new Colorado cases challenging limits on 15-round magazines and Denver’s “assault weapon” ban—arguing they fail the Supreme Court’s 2022 test because they restrict arms “in common use” without a matching “historical tradition.” USVI logistics hit: In San Juan, a docking restriction tied to Water Spirit Freight Services has raised cargo disruption concerns for USVI shippers and residents, with VIPA saying the issue is specific to Puerto Rico’s port operations. Epstein island fallout: A U.S. Virgin Islands buyer of Little St. James/Great St. James is still dealing with the public’s attention after purchasing the islands for $60M, with fresh accounts of visitors and voyeurism. Opioid settlement money moves: Delaware says its $7.4B Purdue Pharma/Sackler settlement is now legally effective, continuing the multistate payout process. Territorial cost pressure: Fuel and shipping costs remain under strain as the US-Iran impasse drags on.
