Law students should be taking State Constitutional Law. If your law school doesn’t offer it, ask for it.

BIG news: The proposed border wall through Big Bend National Park is off following months of bipartisan backlash.

Colorado lawmakers race to counter “right to natural gas” ballot measure

Again: 1. We don’t know what is going into the private accounts in Quatar. Again 2: We don’t know where any of the money of the money from the university settlements or the law firm settlement is going. Again 2: We don’t know who has given the 400 million dollars to the ballroom.

Can we admit it was a Nazi salute now

NEW: ProPublica identified at least 79 children who’ve been left screaming, unable to breathe, or otherwise hurt by tear gas and pepper spray during Trump’s historic immigration crackdown.

Incredible. ICE wrongfully arrests a US citizen plaintiff for the THIRD time. And I bet that the government is making Lyons standing arguments, too.

Good morning! I need to get up earlier. I arrived at the beach at 5:30 and the sun was already up! Here are your 3 minutes of peace & calm. #OceanDevotion

Everything is awful. Here's a baby goat with a tiny bouquet of flowers picked right out of the lawn at The Beer Garden

“Seattle’s pedestrian protection program got off to a flying start when Mrs. Helen Rose bit the traffic officer who gave her a ticket for jaywalking.” From Traffic Institute Review v.1 no.1, 1944.

Keep thinking about this quote in Politico earlier this week: “He will not be missed by a single career person,” said an FDA staffer granted anonymity to discuss Makary’s tenure. “And we will only regret it when they manage to find someone worse.”

Alex Jones says Trump UFO files a 'psyop to screw with everybody’s brains'

Republicans are stealing political power from Black people to rig the midterms. It's legal, as were many of the worst injustices in history. If Trump banned all Democrats from the polls, the media would call it rigged. But where's the line? How rigged does it have to be before they say it's rigged?

Lawfare has obtained and posted the transcripts of the Grand Jury testimony that was provided in the Fulton County RICO lawsuit against Trump and his allies, regarding the attempts to overturn the 2020 election in Georgia. h/t @susangreenhalgh.bsky.social www.lawfaremedia.org/projects-ser...

Insider trading on prediction markets is a mess. We have to stop it.

US House Democrats will hold public hearing on Epstein files controversy, with testimony from Epstein survivors, on Tuesday in Palm Beach, Florida

I was one of the judges for this award. Julie K. Brown certainly deserves it. Congratulations, Julie.

The Versailles White House.

Just in at #SCOTUS: Alabama is asking the justices for emergency relief by next Thursday to allow the state to re-draw its congressional maps in light of Callais (and notwithstanding the Supreme Court's 2023 decision affirming the district court injunctions from which Alabama is now seeking relief).

NEW: Next week @immcouncil.org uncil.org is releasing a new framework for immigration enforcement; what civil enforcement of immigration laws might look like in a post-Trump era. Join me, @daralind.bsky.social , @naynagupta.bsky.social and @michlapointe.bsky.social as we discuss this framework.

ICE flights. Thursday, May 7, 2026. (Apologies for not posting this last night.)

“Counterterrorism” now officially means targeting trans people.

Alito mistakes a mediator for a confounder in Callais. Kavanaugh makes a weird sampling argument in Vasquez Perdomo. Hmmm....I'm beginning to see a pattern.

An ICE Air flight (GXA6122) is currently en route to Belize after carrying out a deportation in Guatemala. The flight, which originated in Alexandria, LA, is likely carrying the 1st group of third country nationals to be sent to Belize under the Asylum Cooperative Agreement.

I’ve spent nearly a year covering the Epstein survivors’ fight for transparency without stopping. The deeper I dug, the clearer it became: the public still fundamentally misunderstands the Epstein network. 🧵

This Omni ICE flight has now made its second deportation stop, to Laos. Migrant passengers onboard have likely been shackled for at least 66 hours. There is probably one more stop, to Vietnam.

Overnight this Omni ICE flight landed in Guam, where it sat for 7+ hours, before continuing west. It is about to make its first deportation stop, in Cambodia. Migrants passengers onboard have likely been shackled for at least 63 hours.

Given all that has happened with the warehouse initiative this spring, it's fascinating to revisit this ICE statement from early March, where they admitted the purpose of these facilities and alluded to rigorous due diligence. We also stopped seeing these economic impact figures soon after, too.

A few years ago Kathy Hochul appointed a judge to the New York Court of Appeals who was unacceptably conservative (particularly on labor issues) and leftist progressives created a giant push against him that resulted in him failing a floor vote in the Senate. Caring about state courts is crucial.

OK, give some love to Law Dork. This has been your “Update from across the pond from the top deck of a double-decker London bus” news report. www.lawdork.com

Do you not think the Alliance Defending Freedom, which overturned Roe v Wade and is gunning for gay marriage and for banning mifepristone, is Christian Nationalism?

Michigan Democratic party chair on Trump Admin. releasing UFO files “If any aliens had flown over Epstein Island, you could be damn sure Trump would keep their secret. Whether aliens are out there or not, I’m more concerned about the American people here on Earth struggling to pay for food, rent"

NEW: Democrats nationwide are condemning the Virginia Supreme Court after it threw out a special election in which voters approved a congressional map meant to counter GOP gerrymandering. The decision comes as Republicans rush to gerrymander before the midterms without input from voters.

“Findings ... confirm that Commissioner Molnar committed serious, repeated violations of agency policies and state law. Additionally, his obstruction and retaliation resulted in organizational harm." By @keilaszpaller.bsky.social: dailymontanan.com/2026/05/07/p... #mtnews #mtpol #montana

The National Trust for Historic Preservation has submitted its response to the weird Truth Social as court filing Stan Woodward filed after the WHCD attack. They note 4 lies in it and that it was signed by DOJ's top lawyers. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

The University promised “to pursue all rights and claims for necessary relief” if a small Michigan community won’t pump water into a data center.

New reporting reveals RFK Jr. is exploring banning certain SSRIs, potentially barring drugs like Zoloft, Prozac and Lexapro. Decades of research shows SSRIs are safe and effective.

Democrats’ fight is not over. We will win back the House in November and deliver an agenda that families deserve. My statement on today’s VA Supreme Court decision.

“One employee is a survivor of gastrointestinal cancer who sometimes loses control of her bowels. Another is undergoing breast cancer treatment that leaves her vulnerable to infections. They all work for CDC, which told them they must commute to the office each day regardless medical conditions.”

There is no clearer case for the necessity of Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 than how quickly southern states moved to eliminate Black-majority districts and dilute Black power after SCOTUS eroded Section 2. SCOTUS’s reasoning was immediately disproven by reality.

Reporter: How much more is my summer vacation going to cost? I don't have great news for you. For a family, it's going to be about $4,000 this year. That's a lot of money. It's so much money that almost half of people said, 'Forget the whole thing. I'm just going to stay at home.'

@support.bsky.team You have suspended one of our reporters accounts (@mattdcohen.bsky.social) likely based off false reports — with a "review" still pending. As a verified news organization, our reporters rely on this platform to promote their work. Resolution of this matter is urgent. Thank you.

When news execs pressure their staff to use AI, they're telling them to be sloppy. AI is corner-cutting. There's a good way to use AI, and that's *hardly ever*. For broad research maybe, but never to generate something that you're cutting and pasting into a news report.
