Shadow Blade Zero attracted significant attention, with a large number of players queuing to try it out.

U.S. Supreme Court gives Trump green light to dismantle Education Department

The U.S. Supreme Court rejected an injunction issued by a federal district judge on the 14th, giving the green light to the Trump administration's plan to dismantle the Department of Education. Among the nine justices of the Supreme Court, three liberal justices opposed the rejection of the injunction. Among them, Justice Sonia Sotomayor wrote in her dissenting legal opinion: "When the executive branch publicly announces its intention to violate the law and puts it into practice, the responsibility of the judiciary is to stop, not accelerate, such illegal behavior." On May 22 this year, a federal district judge in Boston, Massachusetts, issued an injunction requiring the Trump administration to stop implementing plans to lay off about 1,300 people in the Department of Education and not to transfer the functions of the Department of Education to other departments. On June 4, the Federal First Circuit Court of Appeals in Boston rejected the Trump administration's request to suspend the injunction. The Trump administration filed an emergency appeal to the Supreme Court, saying that federal district judges "have no right to interfere with administrative decisions."
