With so much going on in our world, we sometimes miss important issues. Please feel free to share any headlines or new developments we may have missed providing they come from reliable and credible sources.  In other words, please do not post any missed headlines form far right ‘news’ sources or regurgitate their Russian propaganda unless you’re trying to point out that the far-right extremist in our country and elsewhere actually believe their own BS or Russian disinformation.   The same applies to what is currently happening in Israel. We also ask that you provide a link to your source so folks can read it if they want. Please do not make any claims that you cannot factually validate or verify.

SCOTUS:

Supreme Court won’t review school transgender bathroom policies

The Supreme Court let stand a lower court ruling allowing transgender students in Indiana to access school restrooms and locker rooms consistent with their gender identity Tuesday.

The justices in a brief order denied a request from a central Indiana school district to hear the case, which centers around a now-teenage transgender boy, identified in court documents as A.C., who was barred from using the boys restrooms at his former middle school.

The refusal to take up the case, which had no noted dissents, leaves unresolved a split among the nation’s federal appeals courts as to whether school districts are barred from enacting policies prohibiting transgender students from using bathrooms that align with their gender identity.

Court Declines to Review Ruling That Gave Trump Twitter Data to Jack Smith

Another win for Jack Smith

The full DC Circuit Court of Appeals declined to review the ruling by a three judge appeal panel and the district court ordering Twitter (now X) to turn over Trump’s Twitter data to Special Counsel Jack Smith’s team. Jack Smith has had these records in his possession for several months now.

Despite the full DC Circuit Court of Appeals rejecting further review of the prior orders, several conservative judges from the DC Circuit Court of Appeals were critical of the district court for turning over the records without balancing potential executive privilege assertions. 

In August 2023, it was revealed that Jack Smith obtained a search warrant for Donald Trump’s defunct Twitter account in January 2023, but an initial failure to comply led to the company being held in contempt and fined $350,000.
