George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley predicted Monday that even “liberal justices” on the Supreme Court might support ending so-called “nationwide” injunctions. A divided three-judge panel from the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit upheld an injunction issued on March 15 by United States District Judge James Boasberg of the District of Columbia ordering the Trump administration to turn two planes carrying members of the Venezuelan prison gang Tren de Aragua (TdA) to El Salvador around. Turley said that too many judges elected to “yield” to temptation, leading to “exasperation” among the high court’s...

It remains an open question whether far-left Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) will face justice for her unprovoked attack on an intrepid journalist who confronted her in the hallway even as interim United States Attorney for the District of Columbia has weighed in.

…They pushed forward, writing and recording an emotion-packed seventh album that returned the group to its hard-blues roots. This focus on urgency ran counter to the sense of experimentalism that drove their more recent albums, but there didn't seem to be any other way. … "Nobody else really came up with song ideas," the guitarist said in Light & Shade: Conversations With Jimmy Page. "It was really up to me to come up with all the riffs, which is probably why [the songs were] guitar-heavy. But I don't blame anybody. We were all kind of down." … The results arrived...

Goldberg said, “Why would they just have one conversation on Signal? They were obviously feeling like this is a good place to to talk. It’s not. It’s an it’s an open access commercial app.” Host Jake Tapper said, “The Israelis are upset about this story because some of the classified information apparently came from them.

The US Secret Service is accused of failing to respond to an insider threat at the agency – and retaliated against the whistleblower who reported the threat during the Biden Administration.

According to RealClearPolitics reporter Susan Crabtree, the Secret Service hired an applicant who failed the terrorism section of the polygraph test.

Müller glia (green) and their progeny (red) regenerate nerve cells and photoreceptors in a mouse retina. Credit: Ksenia Gnedeva/USC ============================================================================== A USC research team discovered that a single genetic signal may be preventing both hearing and vision cells from repairing themselves. By turning off this signal in mice, they triggered cell growth in parts of the ear and eye — a step toward possible future therapies for hearing and vision loss. A new mouse study from the USC Stem Cell lab of Ksenia Gnedeva, PhD, suggests that the same genes may control the regeneration of sensory cells in both the...

Explanation: If you watch long enough, a comet will appear. Before then, you will see our Solar System from inside the orbit of Mercury as recorded by NASA's Parker Solar Probe looping around the Sun.
