I’m interested in any political imagination for accountability. It has to be proactive & retroactive. It has to be spectacular. And, ideally, it would leave so many of them broke that it actually becomes a deterrent. Being poor is truly all they care about not because they don’t care about prison.

I figured it would be a Roberts majority and a great Jackson concurrence in the birthright citizenship case. Also suspected Kavanaugh would go for the statutory argument, based on oral argument. Gorsuch dissent was shocking but maybe nothing should shock me these days. Glad that at least it's over!

"The funniest possible outcome of the AI mandate era is about to be HR departments discovering that 'sincerely held religious belief' under Title VII has a much lower bar than they assumed, and Pope Leo handed every Catholic employee a written excuse" www.businessinsider.com/worker-got-r...

She won an exemption from using AI at her tech job. The Pope's remarks could fuel similar appeals.

Legal experts say employers must take AI-related religious objections seriously, as a 2023 ruling raised the bar for denying such accommodations.

Today, the AAUP Yale Chapter releases our report on The State of Academic Freedom at Yale. Uncertain that university leaders will protect academic freedom when tested, Yale faculty are managing risk alone and making changes that narrow what Yale teaches, researches, and communicates to the world.

BREAKING: Florida judge questions whether she has jurisdiction to hear Trump's case against the IRS, orders briefing on the question by May 20 and arguments to follow May 27. Judge Kathleen Williams: "[I]t is unclear to this Court whether the Parties are sufficiently adverse to each other ...."

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF FLORIDA CASE NO. 26-20609-CV-WILLIAMS PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP, et al., Plaintiffs, V. INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE, et al., Defendants. / ORDER THIS MATTER is before the Court on Plaintiffs' Consent Motion for a 90 Day Extension ("Motion") (DE 40). In the Motion, Plaintiffs ask the Court "to grant an extension for a period of ninety (90) days in all proceedings in this matter." (DE 40 at 1). The only scheduled event at issue is Defendants' response to the Complaint. For the reasons stated below, the Court will, sua sponte, stay Defendants' obligation to respond and set a briefing schedule to address the question of the Court's subject matter jurisdiction.In the instant case, Defendants have not yet filed any notices of appearance. Nonetheless, the Parties have advised the Court that they are engaging in discussions to resolve this matter. Moreover, although President Trump avers that he is bringing this lawsuit in his personal capacity, he is the sitting president and his named adversaries are entities whose decisions are subject to his direction.? Indeed, President Trump's own remarks about this matter acknowledge the unique dynamic of this litigation. 3 Accordingly, it is unclear to this Court whether the Parties are sufficiently adverse to each other so as to satisfy Article Ill's case or controversy requirement.III. CONCLUSION The Court hoped to evaluate this issue after Defendants responded to the Complaint. However, in light of Plaintiffs Motion, the Court will ask the Parties to address the question of subject matter jurisdiction before addressing the relief requested in the Motion. Accordingly, it is ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that, by May 20, 2026, the Parties shall each file a memorandum of law that addresses the issue of whether a case and controversy exists in this matter so as to establish the Court's jurisdiction. The Court SETS a hearing for 10:00 A.M. on May 27, 2026. The Parties should come prepared to discuss the issues identified above. DONE AND ORDERED in Chambers in Miami, Florida, on this 24th day of April, 2026. KATHLEEN M. WILLIAMS UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE

from @dropsitenews.com "Israel has killed at least 14 journalists, including Khalil, in Lebanon since Oct 2023... In Gaza, the Israeli military has killed over 260 Palestinian journalists since Oct 2023, making it the deadliest war for journalists ever recorded." open.substack.com/pub/dropsite...

Lebanese Journalist Amal Khalil Bombed and Left to Die by Israel

After Khalil was apparently targeted by Israel, a commentator asserting a connection with the military said journalists "affiliated with Hezbollah" are "destined for death."

Lebanese journalist Amal Khalil was killed today in a targeted Israeli strike. The IDF fired live rounds and stun grenades at the Red Cross ambulances trying to reach her. She is the 4th journalist killed by Israel while in the field since 2 March. Photo via X @HindRFoundation.

When I was in law school, a million years ago, we were trained to never rely on anything we hadn't read. Not a West headnote, not a Supreme Court syllabus, not something cited in somebody else's brief, and definitely not anything from a secondary source. 1/3

"Campus antisemitism is a genuine problem that has, since the Hamas attack of Oct. 7, 2023, been manipulated by the American right as part of a sustained effort to delegitimize universities. Jewish students are not the constituency this campaign is designed to serve." forward.com/opinion/8197...

Congress thinks my college is failing on antisemitism. My Jewish students disagree

A new House report on campus antisemitism seems to have involved minimal engagement with actual Jews at actual universities

“‘I have yet to meet anyone—from the highest levels in the administration to the [youngest] students that I know—that is OK with this. Students are deeply, deeply upset about this,’ Bell said. ‘I’ve had members of the Turning Point USA chapter here at Texas Tech express complete dissatisfaction.’”
