Stone v. Graham hasn’t been overruled, so there is definitely more than “nothing left”, but precedent never stopped CA5 from doing whatever it wants.

RFK Jr. just said HHS is "cleaning up the risk pool" (i.e., people who are unhealthy) to bring down healthcare costs.

If anyone can explain how it is the court denied cert. in this case after recently deciding the merits-adjacent Mirabelli case on the shadow docket in favor of challengers, I'm all ears...

25-581 25-5343 CERTIORARI GRANTED ST. MARY CATHOLIC PARISH, ET AL. V. ROY, LISA, ET AL. The petition for a writ of certiorari is granted limited to Questions 1 and 2 presented by the petition. BEAIRD, KENDRICK J. V. UNITED STATES The motion of petitioner for leave to proceed in forma 2 pauperis is granted. The petition for a writ of certiorari is granted limited to the following question: Whether Stinson v. United States, 508 U. S. 36 (1993), still correctly states the rule for the deference that courts must give the commentary to the Sentencing Guidelines.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court takes up two new cases for next term, including a case over Colorado’s exclusion of Catholic preschools from public funding.

The case specifically raises a question the court has circled around for years: Whether 1990’s Employment Division v. Smith should be overruled.

If you kill your wife, you don't get to be a husband anymore Some lessons from the media coverage of Dr. Cerina Fairfax and Vice Mayor Nancy Metayer's murders.

My latest.

I’ve been watching the media coverage of the murders of Dr. Cerina Fairfax and Vice Mayor Nancy Metayer.

One way media can fight back against male violence:

If you kill your wife, you don’t get to be called a “husband” any more.

You’re her killer.

A federal judge in Illinois today ruled that the Trump administration improperly coerced Facebook and Apple to remove ICE-tracking apps in violation of the First Amendment. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Here’s Trump bragging about making the U.S. a country that no one wants to come to and many want to leave.

The Return of Family Detention Under the Trump Administration, thousands of immigrant children have been detained, and many have suffered from medical neglect.

A toddler nearly died at an ICE detention facility in Dilley, Texas. After more than a week in intensive care, she was sent back. Sarah Stillman reports. newyorkermag.visitlink.me/Qcj4e-

Every day, I write the same story: Russian strikes claiming lives. One person here, five there, a child, a grandparent... These tragedies have become so routine that the world is growing numb.

Graphic with the text: 44th ANNIVERSARY OF THE CANADIAN CHARTER OF RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS.

44 years ago today, the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms was signed into law. It laid the foundation for a stronger, more just Canada.

It is up to us all to protect the values of freedom and equality enshrined in the Charter — to keep building a better Canada, for all.

A small cohort of ("prominent"?) law professors are trying to portray John Eastman as some kind of innocent victim of viewpoint discrimination, and his disbarment as some kind of assault on the First Amendment.

That's complete and utter bollocks. As usual, @gabrielmalor.bsky.social brings receipts:

I'm so sorry to hear of the passing of Marc Galanter. A foundational law and society scholar whom my students at all levels read every semester. Condolences to all who knew him.

"A federal judge ruled in late March that the detention center must give free access to, as the AP summarized the order, 'timely, confidential, unmonitored, unrecorded outgoing legal calls.' Days later, guards cut off the phones entirely....After the phones were cut off, 'the beatings began.'"👇

Record number of Rohingya refugees died at sea last year, UNHCR says Nearly 900 Rohingya refugees were reported missing or dead in the Andaman Sea and Bay of Bengal in 2025, ​making it the deadliest year on record for the route, the United ‌Nations refugee agency said on Friday.

“A Texas mother whose son, a Navy sailor, is also aboard the Tripoli, said she panicked after hearing he was hungry on the ship. Her family has now spent at least $2,000 on care packages, but none have reached her son. The mother asked to remain anonymous out of fear her son would face retaliation.”

Minneapolis woman detained after she was pulled from car by federal agents in viral video files excessive force claim Aliya Rahman suffered “brutal assault and unjust and inhumane detention,” her attorneys say. Federal agents say she was impeding actions, though she was never charged.

A Minneapolis woman was pulled from her vehicle and carried through the street by federal agents.

She’s filed a tort claim against the government, alleging the officers used excessive force and violated her constitutional rights.

Read that again. This Louisiana bill forces homeless people to choose between jail and "treatment"—and if they can't pay for the latter, they will be forced to perform unpaid labor.

The historical precedents are clear: convict leasing, Black Codes, debtor's prison.

Trump: "We have a very good relationship with Iran right now"

This is the first pro-immigrant bill to pass Congress this legislative session with bipartisan support.

Our leaders must continue to reject this administration's anti-immigrant agenda.

I agree there should be no impunity, but that applies up the chain.

Attempts to intimidate him appear to have failed.

Thomson Reuters Shareholders Demand Investigation into ICE Contracts The shareholders explicitly cited multiple 404 Media investigations, including one that showed Thomson Reuters' CLEAR is integrated with a tool ICE uses to find neighborhoods to target.

Congresswoman Files Articles Of Impeachment Against Pete Hegseth

BREAKING on MS NOW:

Tulsi Gabbard just referred the whistleblower whose complaint led to the first impeachment of Trump — and the Inspector General who deemed the complaint "credible" — for possible criminal prosecution by the Trump Justice Department.

“Popesplain” is my new favourite word. This is a really interesting thread.

I don't actually think it's trolling. Leo is doing very normal pope things during modern conflicts; he's just doing it with an american accent.

I said this before and I will say it again: if you have a disputed status, do not fly at all, the Mobile Fortify database used by ICE and CPB, is built on the pre-existing TSA database. And if I were the Democrats: I would refuse to appropriate DHS through regular order until 2028.

ICE has reported the 16th detained death of 2026. Alejandro Cabrera Clemente, 49, from Mexico, died on April 11 at Winn Correctional Center in Louisiana. Here's what we know and what ICE isn't telling you. 🧵

JUST IN: John Eastman, the conservative attorney who helped devise President Trump's last ditch strategy to overturn the 2020 presidential election, has officially been disbarred, per the California Supreme Court:

For @lawfaremedia.org, @juliarosekraut.bsky.social and I dive deep on the past, present, and future of ideological exclusion and deportation to suppress dissent in the wake of the arrest and detention of Mahmoud Khalil, Rümeysa Öztürk, Mohsen Mahdawi, and others.
