Against Her Better Judges (Andrew McCabe and Allison Gill; Jack: A Special Counsel podcast, Episode #82)
It has come to light that two “more experienced” judges urged Cannon to recuse herself from the Mar-a-Lago documents case. One of them was Chief Judge Altonaga. Nevertheless, Cannon stayed on the case and has turned it into a complete mess.

Mock Trial: Murthy v. Missouri - Free Speech, Government and Misinformation on Social Media Platforms (John Donvan; Open to Debate podcast)
The Supreme Court is taking up a case that could affect how you read about issues during a crucial election year. Government officials concerned about misinformation related to topics such as COVID and election integrity had requested that social media platforms take down some posts. Several plaintiffs then filed a lawsuit alleging that by doing so, the government was suppressing speech and certain viewpoints.
Now, there’s a question of whether such government actions amount to coercion or are legitimate exercises of power. Those who argue coercion believe that government requests limit free speech, claim “misinformation” is subjective, and worry that increased content moderation could lead to authoritarian control over public discourse online.
Those who argue legitimate cooperation say that platforms often voluntarily comply with these requests as part of their anti-misinformation policies, making it a collaborative effort for public benefit. They also note that in cases where misinformation threatens public health or safety, such as false information about vaccines, government intervention is justified to protect the public.
Now in this mock trial, we take this question on the free speech, government, and misinformation on social media platforms.

Trump spreads violent rhetoric by suggesting migrants should fight for sport - The Washington Post
In his speech, the former president continued to claim that undocumented immigrants are violent criminals coming from "prisons and mental institutions." He also recounted the murder of Georgia nursing student Laken Riley in February, who police believe was killed by Jose Ibarra — a man who immigration authorities say crossed the U.S. border illegally in 2022. Ibarra has been in custody since the day after Riley's body was discovered and pleaded not guilty in May.
Trump reiterated his promise to "begin the largest deportation operation in American history," should he return to the White House. He also warned that undocumented immigrants are "just getting comfortable," but that "they're going to start hitting us very hard."…
"Fitting that convicted felon Donald Trump spent his time at a religious conference threatening to round up Latinos, bragging about ripping away Americans' freedoms, and promising to be even more extreme if he regains power," Sarafina Chitika, a Biden campaign spokesperson, said in a statement.
In Trump we trust: religious right on crusade to make their man president
With Trump running ahead of Biden in many swing state polls, religious right voters scent a historic opportunity to impose a radical agenda that could ban abortion nationwide, curb LGBTQ+ rights and blur the separation of church and state. At Friday's conference, speaker after speaker framed it as righteous crusade and the only way to resist a tide of liberal secularism sweeping America…

Trump’s Second Term: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (HBO)
John Oliver discusses Donald Trump’s plans for a second term, why it could be much worse than his first term, and what Trump has in common with a hamster.
This Biden immigration idea has Trump advisers like Stephen Miller freaking out
The most extreme voices on the right are freaking out over Biden's concrete steps to ensure American families can stay together. That's not just because they disagree with them as policy but also because they know that relief for immigrants who have been in the U.S. for years — if not decades — is popular across the broader electorate. That's one reason why people like Miller resort to spreading untruths about immigration in America.
Surprising no one, Miller immediately blasted Biden's order with a flood of misinformation echoing the "great replacement" theory, a far-right conspiracy theory that nefarious forces are seeking to undermine white Americans. Miller falsely described the humanitarian crisis at our southern border as an "invasion." He also slammed pathways to citizenship for those who qualify as turning "family networks" into "full-voting citizens." This inflammatory rhetoric might fuel outrage algorithms in far-right echo chambers, but it does not help the country address the problems with our broken immigration system.
ACLU sues Louisiana over requiring the display of Ten Commandments in public schools
"The first amendment promises that we all get to decide for ourselves what religious beliefs, if any, to hold and practice, without pressure from the government. Politicians have no business imposing their preferred religious doctrine on students and families in public schools," the statement said.
"Louisiana's communities and public schools are religiously diverse, yet HB 71 would require school officials to promote specific religious beliefs to which people of many faiths, and those of no faith, do not subscribe."…
Deluge of ‘pink slime’ websites threaten to drown out truth with fake news in US election
According to a recent report from NewsGuard, a company that aims to counter misinformation by studying and rating news websites, the websites are so prolific that "the odds are now better than 50-50 that if you see a news website purporting to cover local news, it's fake."
NewsGuard estimates that there are a staggering 1,265 such fake local news websites in the US – 4% more than the websites of 1,213 daily newspapers left operating in the country...
Judge Cannon asks about Attorney General Garland’s oversight of Trump trials - The Washington Post

Mueller III, have been rejected in court — a decision that Cannon referred to on Friday…

"In a fundraising email sent Tuesday, AFA Action CEO Walker Wildmon revealed that the group is also seeking to apply its religious worldview test to judges for the lower courts, which he calls ‘a crucial, much-needed expansion of CJR’s scope.’ Walker makes the group’s Christian nationalist agenda for the courts quite clear, writing that ‘if America is ever going to return to its Christ-centered, constitutional roots, it’s up to us.’ In return for a ‘generous gift,’ the group will send donors a copy of the widely debunked Christian nationalist pseudo-historian David Barton’s ‘God in the Constitution.’ Wildmon’s email also brags about the group’s involvement in Project 2025, the Heritage Foundation-led project to engineer a far-right takeover of the executive branch if Donald Trump or another Republican is elected president this fall."

Our historical investigation found 1,250 formerly enslaved Black Americans who were given land – only to see it returned to their enslavers.
Union General William T. Sherman’s Special Field Orders, No. 15 – better known as 40 acres and a mule – implied a better life in the waning days of the Civil War. Hutchinson is among the formerly enslaved people who received land through the field orders, which are often thought of as a promise that was never kept. But 40 acres and a mule was more than that.

Biden now leads in Michigan and Wisconsin
Biden now leads Trump in Michigan, where he was recently trailing by nearly 4 points, as well as in Wisconsin, where Biden regained a narrow lead. Wisconsin may be the best example of how Trump's post-conviction weakness could doom his presidential hopes: in 2016, Trump won the state by less than 1 percent. If disgusted Republicans and alienated independents continue to keep their distance, there's no mathematical way for Trump to bring the Badger State back into his column.

The data on race and murder that Elon Musk gave a ‘!’ deserved a ‘?’ - The Washington Post
In 2015, Donald Trump shared an image suggesting that 4 in 5 White murder victims were killed by Black offenders, which is also false. At the time, the most recent available data showed that the vast majority of White murder victims were killed by White people, just as most Black murder victims are killed by Black people. Victims tend to be killed by people they know, and most people know mostly people who share their racial identity.
Setting aside the specific numbers offered by eyeslasho for a moment, there's a very good reason the number of people killed might have more than doubled since 1950 — the U.S. population also more than doubled over that period…

The Racist Hoax That Changed Boston (Reveal podcast)
After a pregnant woman’s murder, Boston police rounded up countless Black men in search of her killer. But they were chasing a lie.
In 1989, Chuck Stuart called 911 on his car phone to report a shooting.
He said he and his wife were leaving a birthing class at a Boston hospital when a man forced him to drive into the mixed-race Mission Hill neighborhood and shot them both. Stuart’s wife, Carol, was seven months pregnant. She would die that night, hours after her son was delivered by cesarean section, and days later, her son would die, too.
Stuart said he saw the man who did it: a Black man in a tracksuit.
Within hours, the killing had the city in a panic, and Boston police were tearing through Mission Hill looking for a suspect.
For a whole generation of Black men in Mission Hill who were subjected to frisks and strip searches, this investigation shaped their relationship with police. And it changed the way Boston viewed itself when the story took a dramatic turn and the true killer was revealed.
This week on Reveal, in partnership with the “Murder in Boston” podcast and associate editor and columnist Adrian Walker of The Boston Globe, we bring you the untold story of the Stuart murder: one that exposed truths about race and crime that few White people in power wanted to confront.
