— Sep 18, 2026
A 22-year-old Nebraska volunteer firefighter and state EMT, Andrew Coates, was rejected by the Fremont Fire Department because his high school diploma came from homeschooling, which Nebraska treats as unaccredited. The city had initially required a high school diploma and later specified accreditation; Coates drew public support, appealed to the Civil Service Commission—which cannot overturn city policy—and he hopes another department will hire him recognizing his qualifications.

— Sep 12, 2026
A federal judge blocked the Trump administration from requiring federal job applicants to answer loyalty questions about President Donald Trump, ruling the practice likely violated free-speech rights and the merit-based, nonpartisan civil service. The injunction affects more than 70,000 postings, with unions arguing the questions politicized hiring, while the administration contends the questions were voluntary and not about loyalty.

Coalition sues Trump over foreign student visa rule
Politics
— Aug 22, 2026
A coalition of unions and education groups filed multiple lawsuits to block Trump administration policies: challenges to changes in federal worker performance evaluations as exceeding authority and violating civil service law; opposition to a rule reducing graduate student loan limits for certain professions; and lawsuits against visa-duration rules for international students, exchange visitors, and foreign journalists that purportedly disrupt education and immigration processes. A separate suit also seeks to overturn the four-year cap on foreign student visas, arguing it would hinder colleges and international enrollment as the rules take effect.
