Live from NPR news in Washington, I'm Ryland Barton.
The Supreme Court today cleared the way for President Trump to move ahead on his executive
“order restricting mail-in voting, but it's unclear how much he can do before the mid-term”
elections. Trump ordered the federal government in March to make lists of eligible voters and only deliver mail ballots to those on the list. New tariffs between the U.S. and Canada are expected to raise prices for both countries as the trade war heats up, so two had the insults and rhetoric to end Carpind Truck reports.
It is social media post-Trump referred to Ford as the "less charismatic, intelligent and overall unimpressive brother of the late Great Rob Ford." He was the former mayor of Toronto who admitted to smoking crack cocaine while in office and was caught in a series of drinking scandals. Premier Doug Ford was quick to reply.
"I don't respond to a dictator like President Trump. I'm not going to take any advice off a guy that's the king of bankruptcies." Ford went on to say Trump is actually taxing his own people through tariffs on Canada. Ford says he will throw everything he can at the Trump White House, even consider putting
“an export tariff on electricity to the U.S.”
For NPR News, I'm Dan Carpind Truck in Toronto. President Trump's latest financial disclosures show that he invested tens of thousands of dollars in Elon Musk's SpaceX, as NPR's Bobby Allen reports ethics experts say it's unusual for President to be a shareholder of a company that's a major government contractor. President Trump invested up to $50,000 in Musk's SpaceX, according to financial disclosures
recently made public. The stock purchase was made shortly after Musk's satellite and rocket company had its initial public offering in June, and it was one of more than 1,000 other stock trades the President made that month. Usually, U.S. presidents placed their stock holdings in a blind trust that's independently
managed or sell the stocks to eliminate conflicts of interest. A White House spokesman said Trump stocks are managed by a third-party financial institution, a new report from a committee of Democrats in Washington estimates Trump's oil and gas
holdings may have gained more than $15 million amid the war in Iran.

“Texas Republican Governor Greg Abbott is asking a federal judge to reject Minnesota's”
effort to force the extradition of an ice officer being held in Texas. The Texas Newsrooms Lucy of Vaskas reports. Abbott says Texas is still investigating whether ice officer Christian Castro can legally be considered a fugitive. Castro faces assault charges in Minnesota for allegedly shooting and injuring a man during
an immigration operation earlier this year. Abbott says Castro did not flee Minnesota, but instead returned to Texas on orders from ice. Minnesota sued Abbott last week to force Castro's extradition and is asking a federal judge to keep Castro jailed beyond a 90-day limit that expires this week, both signs are
due in federal court on Tuesday. On Friday, federal reserve chair Kevin Warsh will give a speech as pressure rises on him to hike interest rates to get inflation under control. This is NPR News. The Department of Agriculture says concerns about the new world screw worm a parasite
have lessened enough to reopen an Arizona border crossing to cattle from Mexico. The Trump administration has been trying to reduce near record high beef prices. Economists doubt the move will mean much to the prices shoppers see they say the biggest problem is that the U.S. cattle heard as the smallest and it's been in 75 years. Nevada is challenging the Trump administration's new rules cutting the state's access to
the Colorado River from member station KNPR Paul Boger reports. Under new regulations filed last week, the lower basin states Arizona, California, and Nevada
have to cut their share by one and a quarter million acre feet over the next two years.
Northern Basin states do not. The lawsuit claims the reduction unfairly slashes Nevada's legal right to 1.8% of the river water. John Ensminger oversees the Southern Nevada water authority. The current plan, put out by the federal government, puts the entire burden of adapting
to climate change adapting to having less water on only three of the seven states. So it's just completely unworkable. The complaint also alleges that federal officials failed to fully analyze how the cuts would affect Nevada's economy. From PR News, I'm Paul Boger in Reno.
