Recent examples of court cases between states are California v. Texas (2021) challenging the Affordable Care Act after the mandate was reduced to $0 and Pennsylvania v. Texas (2020, dismissed by SCOTUS for lack of standing) challenging the election results.
The federal government can also sue a state or vice versa such as the four cases since 2016 named United States v. Texas.
