Trump dealt another defeat on travel ban as circuit court upholds Hawaii judge’s decision
President Donald Trump's administration suffered another legal defeat Monday as a three-judge panel from the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a ruling blocking enactment of the president's revised travel ban.
Monday’s unanimous ruling said the president violated U.S. immigration law by discriminating against people based on their nationality and by failing to demonstrate that their entry into the country would hurt American interests.
U.S. District Judge Derrick Watson in Hawaii had ruled that the true purpose of the temporary ban on travel from six mostly Muslim nations was to discriminate against Islam -- not to protect national security, thus violating the Constitution's prohibition on the government officially favoring or disfavoring any religion, he said.
And: The attorneys generals of Maryland and the District of Columbia have announced they've filed suit against President Donald Trump, alleging he violated the Constitution by retaining ties to a sprawling global business empire.

What the Obamacare overhaul could mean for Texas' terrible maternal mortality rate
A study last year ranked Texas' maternal mortality rate as the nation's worst. Because of that alarming fact, many doctors and health care advocates in Texas are watching the negotiations in Washington around replacing the Affordable Care Act, with some worried about what the changes could mean for Texas' maternal health crisis.
Experts say that maternal health care could be affected a number of ways under the American Health Care Act, which the House recently passed and sent to the Senate for consideration.
Of particular concern is Medicaid funding. Texas would see a drop of as much as $1.5 billion annually in future anticipated funds, according to one study. Currently, Medicaid pays for more than 50 percent of births in Texas.
Commentary: Cuts to Medicaid would badly damage health care in rural Texas.
The two-year clash over one Love Field gate: Where the Southwest-Delta fight stands
The two-year legal fight over a single gate at Dallas Love Field has taken a U-turn -- right back to where it started. After a federal appeals court late last week denied a motion by Southwest Airlines, the case is now headed back to the U.S. District Court of North Texas, where the lawsuit was originally filed in June 2015 by the city of Dallas, which owns Love Field.
The case revolves around who has the right to use Gate 15, which is currently shared by Southwest and Delta. Southwest paid to lease the gate and wants sole use of the gate. But Delta was operating five daily flights out of Gate 15 before Southwest was making full use of it, and wants to continue operating those flights.
The case could have national implications for how lease agreements are enforced at airports.

Morgan Butler brings food to customers at the new Plano location of Norma's Cafe. The restaurant on 15th Street is the fifth location of a brand that owner Ed Murph bought in 1986, when he took over the original location that opened in Oak Cliff in 1956. Murph, who has been slowly expanding the brand over the last 20 years, says there's a good chance a sixth location will open next summer.

Finally
The tombstone for The Edge — Dallas' first, last and only alternative rock radio station — reads: "June 30, 1989-Nov. 16, 2016." But in truth, it died long before then, around the time bands like 3 Doors Down, Nickleback and Creed creeped onto corporate-approved playlists and demolished the house George Gimarc and Wendy Naylor built on a foundation of the Ramones, Elvis Costello and the local acts they'd long championed.
When Gimarc relaunches the format on June 30 of this year — "and what symmetry," he says of that special date — the new online-only iteration will be go by a different moniker: Fuzz Box.
Fuzz Box will launch as an app at month's end via Vokal, the same Dallas-based company through which Gimarc resurrected classic-rock spinning The Zoo earlier this year.
