EXCERPT:

The U.S. Supreme Court unanimously sided with the Trump administration on Tuesday in a dispute involving its policy regulating immigration judges’ “work-related speech.”

In its per curiam opinion, the high court vacated and remanded a decision by the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals that centered around the government’s rules governing the executive’s immigration courts. The specific policy in question — which was enacted in October 2021 under the Biden administration — required immigration judges “to obtain supervisory approval for public speeches relating to their official duties” and was designed “to ensure that employee speech which may be seen as bearing the ‘imprimatur’ of the Office is consistent with its official positions,” according to SCOTUS.

The owner of the Future Leaders Early Learning Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota, was charged with defrauding Minnesota’s Child Care Assistance Program on Wednesday. Fahima Egeh Mahamud is accused of filing bogus claims to receive $4.6 million in government grants to serve thousands of meals to low-income children, but the meals allegedly were never served.

Mahamud’s daycare center was one of the places featured in Nick Shirley’s viral video earlier this year, highlighting rampant fraud in Minnesota daycares. According to reports, Mahamud registered Future Leaders Early Learning Center in a federal child nutrition program through the Minnesota nonprofit organization Feeding Our Future. As part of the scheme, she allegedly claimed that her daycare center collected required co-payments from impoverished families to receive the federal government subsidies to provide meals to children, none of which actually happened, according to prosecutors.

“One of the requirements of participation, by both child care providers and recipients, was the collection and payment of co-payments,” read official court documents. “The co-payment was paid to the family’s child care provider biweekly. The co-payment amount was based on family and annual income after allowable de

Trump DOJ Sues Colorado, Denver Over Gun Bans– www.standingforfreedom.com

EXCERPT:

On May 5 and 6, the Trump Department of Justice (DOJ) filed two related Second Amendment lawsuits in Colorado: one challenging Denver’s ban on so-called “assault weapons,” including AR-15-style semiautomatic rifles, and another challenging Colorado’s statewide ban on magazines capable of holding more than 15 rounds. In both cases, DOJ argues that state and local officials are criminalizing arms commonly owned by law-abiding Americans in violation of the Second Amendment and Supreme Court precedent.

Colorado law generally prohibits selling, transferring, or possessing a “large-capacity magazine,” defined as a magazine capable of accepting more than 15 rounds, with an exception for magazines owned before July 1, 2013, and continuously possessed since then. Denver’s ordinance separately bans possession of so-called “assault weapons,” including many AR-15-style semiautomatic rifles.

The DOJ argues that the laws rely on deceptive language and fearmongering to try to justify an end-run around the Constitution. “The Magazine Ban uses politically charged rhetoric to describe the arms it bans,” the complaint states. “The Magazine Ban’s characterization of these magazines as ‘large capacity’ is a misnomer, because magazines capable of holding more than 15 rounds are, in fact, standard capacity magazines for many popular firearms, including the AR-15 rifle, the most popular rifle in America.”

A new free speech law named after slain Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk is “dehumanizing,” according to the Secular Student Alliance.

The bill, which will go into effect on July 1, seeks to protect free speech on campus and punish unruly disruptions of speakers. Republican Governor Bill Lee signed the law on May 5.

“What this law actually does is protect invited speakers – no matter how extreme or dehumanizing their views – while making it riskier for students to push back,” the Secular Student Alliance stated in a news release sent to The College Fix prior to the signing of the bill.

EXCERPT:

It’s no surprise Republicans feel desperate to burnish Donald Trump’s reputation. His approval ratings are in the toilet, his unwanted and unnecessary war and tariffs are causing inflation and gas prices to soar, and while using his p***y-grabbing hands to pocket billions of taxpayer dollars and documents for himself, he has taken away health insurance and food benefits from Americans.

That’s not counting Dozy Don’s obvious mental decline.

Republicans in Congress could do a lot to rein in Trump’s wrongdoings and actually serve struggling Americans. Instead, Rep. Darrell Issa has introduced a resolution, cosponsored by more than 20 other Republicans, to rewrite history and expunge Trump’s two impeachments. Not only that, as Alternet reported, “it appears he wants to allege ‘misconduct’ on the part of those who were part of the process of impeaching him.”

The US Department of Justice filed a lawsuit Wednesday against the Washington D.C. Bar, escalating the Trump administration’s fight against what it describes as politically motivated disciplinary actions targeting conservative government lawyers.

The lawsuit challenges the D.C. Bar’s recommendation to disbar Jeffrey Clark, a former Justice Department official in President Donald Trump’s first administration. Clark had been accused of violating legal ethics rules over actions connected to efforts to challenge the 2020 presidential election results.

According to the complaint, the administration argues that state and local bar authorities are improperly interfering with executive branch functions by pursuing disciplinary action against federal attorneys over legal advice and internal deliberations.

Scientists reversed biological age in older adults with a 4-week diet change– www.sciencedaily.com

Older adults who cut back on dietary fat or reduced the amount of animal-based protein they consumed showed signs of becoming biologically younger, according to new research from the University of Sydney.

The study, published in Aging Cell, found that adults between the ages of 65 and 75 experienced reductions in their estimated ‘biological age’ after following specific diets for just four weeks. Researchers say the findings suggest dietary changes later in life may quickly improve markers linked to aging and overall health.

The research was led by Dr. Caitlin Andrews from the University of Sydney’s School of Life and Environmental Sciences. While the results are promising, the scientists emphasized that the study provides only an early indication rather than definitive proof that diet can reverse aging. They say larger and longer studies are needed to determine whether these biological changes lower disease risk over time and whether the same effects occur in other age groups.

Illinois’ Racial Gerrymandering Law Is ‘Unconstitutional’– thefederalist.com

EXCERPT:

A key Illinois election law unlawfully requires the prioritization of race in drawing legislative districts, a new lawsuit alleges. The suit was brought in light of the U.S. Supreme Court’s recent Louisiana v. Callais decision stripping states’ ability to use race in the redistricting process.

“States may not use race to allocate power,” said Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF) President and General Counsel J. Christian Adams, whose group spearheaded the legal challenge.

Announced on Monday, the lawsuit brought by PILF on behalf of Illinois resident Jeanne Ives contests that the state “has districting criteria that violates the United States Constitution explicitly by elevating race as a primary purpose in legislative line drawing.” Ives more specifically takes to task the Illinois Voting Rights Act (ILVRA), which she argues “mandates the creation of racial districts in violation of [her] civil rights protected by the Fifteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution and Section 2(a) of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 (‘Voting Rights Act’).”

Chinese researchers have made a significant advancement in circular resource recovery by creating a new way to turn nitrate-laden wastewater into valuable ammonia for fertilisers. They used artificial intelligence to find a super-effective dual-atom catalyst, which led them to a process that tackles two major global issues: water pollution and the heavy energy use of traditional industrial ammonia production. Their findings, published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society, show that this method achieves almost three times the conversion efficiency of earlier technologies. By converting runoff from farms and factories, this approach provides an eco-friendly solution to lessen environmental ‘dead zones’ and cuts down on the agricultural sector’s dependence on energy-heavy chemical methods.
