From @WSJopinion: Trump owes the Supreme Court an apology—to the Justices he smeared and the institution itself. He doubtless won’t offer one, but his rant in response to his tariff defeat at the Court was arguably the worst moment of his Presidency.

The answer to the person who has saved more lives around the world in our lifetime is probably Pres George W Bush. His PEPFAR program which, starting in 2003, brought HIV treatment to Africa and over 50 countries, has saved more than 25 million lives. He won’t get a Nobel Peace Prize, but PEPFAR is more than worthy of one.

The last time I checked, the University of Alabama had a President. So why does Congress need to step in? Instead, why doesn’t President Mohler strap on a backbone and just tell the AD they’d gone too far this time and they need to unwind the Bediako fiasco?

Problem solved.

BREAKING:

The Department of Justice is reportedly investigating elected officials for criticizing the administration’s immigration enforcement operations. If this is the basis for the investigation, it is blatantly unconstitutional and intolerable in a free society. The right to condemn government action without fear of government punishment is the foundation of the First Amendment.

This would not be the first time the administration has used boundless, imaginary definitions of “obstruction” or “incitement” that have no basis in the law and run headlong into constitutional limits. The few exceptions to the First Amendment are defined by narrow, exacting standards for a reason: to prevent the government from wielding its power to squash dissent.

If criticism of government policy can be rebranded as a crime, then constitutional protections become meaningless and the government becomes unaccountable. That is precisely the danger the First Amendment is meant to prevent, and it is a line no administration may cross.

[FIRE @TheFIREorg]

The Pentagon’s actions are clear retaliation for something Sen. Kelly is entirely within his rights to say. America’s servicemembers already take an oath to uphold the Constitution, which includes not following illegal orders. The argument that the video’s message is sedition, or otherwise unprotected by the First Amendment, is flatly wrong.

The ACC has the in-depth HQ Review thing that explains how and why a call is being made on the broadcast, while the SEC and everyone else trots out a rules expert roughly as accurate as a coin flip

[Jeff Luethke @JLuethke]

Will the SEC continue to just ruin games. @SEC @SECOfficiating cannot help but screw up a football game. They are an incompetent embarrassment to the athletes that perform. They deserve better. It’s every single week!!!
Ask Auburn!!!

[Christopher J. Scalia @cjscalia]

“You should be in no doubt that, patriotic conservative that I am, I detest the burning of the nation’s flag—and if I were king I would make it a crime. But as I understand the First Amendment, it guarantees the right to express contempt for the government, the Congress, the Supreme Court, even the nation and the nation’s flag.” - Justice Antonin Scalia

@howardlutnick Thank you sir. If there’s anyone I trust to get involved in the affairs of a private corporation, it’s definitely the federal government

New study from Denmark 🇩🇰 of over 1.5 MILLION people who received an mRNA Covid vaccine

NO increased risk of 29 different adverse events

Filter out the noise. Look at real data.

mRNA vaccines are incredibly safe.

This isn't even true. Of the 712 confirmed measles cases this year, RFK's CDC concedes that only 2% had the complete 2-dose MMR vaccine. And simply relying on the vaccine absolutely worked when we hit the 95% herd immunity minimum. We didn't have a measles death in 10 years!

[Free To Choose @FreeToChooseNet]

Tariffs aren't new—neither is the misguided notion of "reciprocal" ones. Milton Friedman cut through this fallacy with clarity: When other nations restrict trade, they harm their own citizens. When we respond with our own tariffs, we merely punish our citizens, too. After all, you don't fix holes in the bottom of the boat by shooting more holes in it. Free trade benefits America regardless of what other countries do. Refusing to buy something at the best price available is simply bad business.

[Dilan Esper @dilanesper]

I will again remind conservatives that the proposal to require that litigation seeking to strike down federal laws or executive orders be litigated before 3 judge courts to avoid a single judge dictating national policy was widely circulated by academics during the Biden years.

Alberto Osuna arrived at Tennessee with hopes of playing one final season—but an NCAA eligibility battle has left his future in limbo.

Dean Curley hitting a bases-clearing double to give Tennessee a 4-0 lead over Florida in the seventh inning and ripping open his jersey to show his #FreeBerto undershirt is one of the best teammate moments I've ever seen.
