CERTIORARI -- SUMMARY DISPOSITION 24-1099 SMITH, KYLE, ET AL. V. SCOTT, ROCHELLE, ET AL. The petition for a writ of certiorari is granted. The judgment is vacated, and the case is remanded to the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit for further consideration in light of Zorn v. Linton, 607 U. S. ___ (2026) (per curiam). Justice Sotomayor, Justice Kagan, and Justice Jackson would deny the petition for a writ of certiorari.

By a 6–3 vote, and with no opinion, the Supreme Court throws out a lower court decision denying qualified immunity who killed an unarmed, mentally ill man by using "bodyweight force" to restrain him. All three liberals dissent. www.supremecourt.gov/orders/court...

Once again, it all should have ended immediately in 2017, when he started openly monetizing his hotels at Mar-a-Lago & around the corner from the White House. We have yawned, as a country, at unprecedented corruption right in front of us.

Faculty Defect From Texas Publics, Citing Censorship Fed up with the state’s censoring of Plato, Joan of Arc and Romeo and Juliet, humanities professors are leaving Texas public institutions in pursuit of academic freedom.

'Texas A&M philosophy professor Martin Peterson is leaving the university after administrators told him in January that he couldn’t teach Plato’s Symposium in his philosophy class; they said the ancient Greek philosopher’s work violated the system’s restrictions on gender and sexuality content.' 1/3

Trump’s Memphis Crime Task Force Arrested Over 800 Immigrants, Records Show. Only 2% of the Arrests Were for Violent Crimes. Businesses closed. Churches emptied. Parents afraid to take kids to school. Advocates say what was supposed to be a crime-fighting effort is keeping a community in fear.

NEW: A ProPublica and MLK50 analysis shows that just 17 of more than 800 immigration arrests made by Trump’s crime-fighting task force in and around Memphis were for violent crimes.

82% of the immigration arrests followed a traffic stop.

The supposed defenders of national sovereignty and opponents of internationalism have incinerated the longstanding principle that members of one country's government shouldn't show up to campaign and tell people how to vote in another country's elections.

Donald Trump is completely unhinged. His statement threatening to eradicate an entire civilization shocks the conscience and requires a decisive congressional response. The House must come back into session immediately and vote to end this reckless war of choice in the Middle East before Donald Trump plunges our country into World War III. For years, Republicans have enabled and excused Donald Trump’s deeply dangerous and extreme behavior. Enough is enough. Our brave men and women in uniform have been put into harm’s way in the Middle East. Over a dozen have already been killed and hundreds injured. Gas prices are skyrocketing, the cost of living in America is out of control and billions of taxpayer dollars are being wasted on a reckless war of choice. It’s time for House Republicans to put patriotic duty over party loyalty and join Democrats in stopping this madness.

After Trump wrote, in reference to Iran, “A whole civilization will die tonight,” the entirety of the House Democratic leadership issued this joint statement:

Iran closes all diplomatic and indirect channels of communication with the U.S., suspending the exchange of messages, following Trump’s threat to kill Iran's "whole civilization." -Reuters

THE POPE: “I hope Trump is looking for an off-ramp. I hope he's looking for a way to decrease the amount of violence, the bombing, which would be a significant contribution to removing the hatred that's increasing constantly.” (H/T @headquartersnews.bsky.social )

“The layoffs are directly tied to Oracle’s aggressive and debt-heavy expansion into AI infrastructure. According to analysis from TD Cowen, the job cuts are expected to free up between $8b and $10b in cash flow — money the company urgently needs to fund a massive buildout of AI data centers.”

A reminder that REPUBLICANS insist on keeping DHS shutdown

While food disappears from store shelves and prices increase, Trump addresses struggling farmers next to a gold-plated tractor.

Screenshot of a tweet by Headquarters claiming Florida election records show Donald, Melania, and Barron Trump voted by mail in a special election, despite Trump criticizing mail voting.

Rules for you, but not me and my crew.

A tool that helps thousands of communities decide when to evacuate residents during hurricanes will expire tomorrow.

Why? Because of Kristi Noem’s DHS policy to personally approve expenses over $100K, which is still in place.

But she had time to spend $220 million on ads. Priorities.

@thecoalition.bsky.social is suing to stop a new US policy that threatens to deny or revoke visas for researchers who study disinfo and online harms.

The White House Intervened on Behalf of Accused Sex Trafficker Andrew Tate During a Federal Investigation Federal authorities were chided for seizing electronic devices from Tate and his brother, and told to return them, records and interviews show. Experts said the intervention was highly inappropriate.

The Tate brothers, who have been accused of sexual misconduct in three countries, had their devices seized by law enforcement when they arrived in the U.S.

Days later, a White House official told DHS to return them.

Trump easing Russian oil sanctions is ‘bad for peace’, says Zelensky

The biggest winner of the war in Iran? Vladimir Putin.

Even as Russia gives Iran intel to target US forces, Trump is relaxing sanctions against Russian oil, putting more money in Putin's pocket.

This war is a gift to our adversaries.

I've long been sounding the alarm on Section 702 of FISA, and secret, legal loopholes the government uses to spy on Americans. The program is up for reauthorization in April and I'll be fighting like hell to make sure the current program doesn’t get rubber stamped.

Proof of Devilry, Book 4: The Secret War Between Jared Kushner and Jeffrey Epstein Led to Epstein’s Death—and the Second Iran War The key to unlocking the Trump-Epstein Scandal’s secrets—including, now, the Second Iran War—is to understand the Scandal as a proxy war between two men set on gaining control of U.S. foreign policy.

Table of Contents for the entire work (PROOF OF DEVILRY, ~1,000 pages) and new Book 4 content added.

Book 5 is coming soon—and will tell the story of what happened in Minab in a way no one else is.

Also, a level of detail never before seen on how Epstein intersected with the 2016 Trump campaign.
