Kelly's key conclusion: "The Court concludes only that on the record before it, it is likely that the process provided to Plaintiffs was an empty exercise to approve an outcome that was decided before it even began, thereby contravening their due process rights."

It looks like the DOJ monitored members of Congress’s searches of the unredacted Epstein files.

![Cases involving advocacy groups and intangible injuries are particularly prone to “manufacture[d]” theories of Article III standing. Hippocratic Med., 602 U.S. at 395. The Supreme Court has cautioned us to guard the courthouse gates against procedural injuries masquerading as direct harm. TransUnion, 594 U.S. at 440. Permitting standing for these plaintiffs would ignore this instruction. The district court, then, correctly dismissed this case for lack of standing. The Alliance, Heuer, and Brown have not suffered an intangible injury based on a violation of HAVA’s procedural requirements.

The Trump administration is preparing to rescind the EPA’s 2009 “endangerment finding,” the legal basis for regulating greenhouse gas emissions under the Clean Air Act.
The move would significantly roll back federal climate rules and is expected to face legal challenges.

One of every thousand American residents has been taken into custody by ICE in the last year.
A stunning detail the ICE chief shared in this hearing that was supposed to be a brag, except it isn't: ICE has arrested 379,000 people between Jan. 2025-Jan. 2026 -- but only 8,700 were suspected gang members or known suspected terrorists.
