  • Judge Dismisses DOJ Lawsuit Over Chicago’s Sanctuary Protections for Immigrants

    Wall Street Journal via MSN ^ | July 25, 2025 | Ginger Adams Otis
    A federal judge has dismissed the Trump administration’s lawsuit against Illinois and Chicago over sanctuary policies that the government has said interfere with federal immigration enforcement. In a ruling released Friday, U.S. District Judge Lindsay Jenkins said the government lacked standing to override local laws that limit cooperation and information-sharing between law enforcement. Jenkins said the government doesn’t have the legal authority “to commandeer states under the guise of intergovernmental immunity.” The Justice Department didn’t respond to a request for comment.

    A federal judge approved a settlement this week between the Davidson County Board of Education and the parents of a student who was suspended for using the term “illegal alien” in class. Leah and Chad McGhee’s 16-year-old son was suspended for three days last year after making what school officials called a “racially insensitive remark.” The parents filed a lawsuit against the Board of Education shortly after the incident. Now, court documents show the parties have reached a settlement. The school board has agreed to issue a public apology for the “mischaracterization of racial bias” of the student’s comments and...

    President Donald Trump crowed over the settlement in his lawsuit against “60 Minutes,” CBS, and Paramount on Tuesday — which stemmed from a selectively edited interview of former Vice President Kamala Harris — calling it a “BIG AND IMPORTANT WIN!” Trump first shared the news in a post on his Truth Social platform, where he also took aim at ABC News and anchor George Stephanopoulos over their recent payout in a similar lawsuit. “BREAKING NEWS! We have just achieved a BIG AND IMPORTANT WIN in our Historic Lawsuit against 60 Minutes, CBS, and Paramount,” Trump posted. “Just like ABC and...

    former President Barack Obama judge has reportedly been assigned to President Donald Trump's $10 billion defamation lawsuit against Rupert Murdoch and The Wall Street Journal. U.S. District Judge Darrin Gayles in the Southern District of Florida was nominated by Obama in February 2014, and became the first openly gay Black federal judge. Gayles was also assigned a Trump $500 million lawsuit against embattled former attorney Michael Cohen in 2023, but Trump was forced to temporarily pause that case due to court-date conflicts in the Democrat prosecutor-led cases he faced before the 2024 presidential election. Gayles has filed dissent against voter...

  • Can Cities Rewrite Climate Policy—And Their Budgets—Through the Courts?

    Mountain States Legal Foundation ^ | July 15, 2025 | Staff
    In two high-profile lawsuits, the cities of Baltimore and Annapolis are suing some of the world’s largest energy companies. Their claim? That global climate change has caused local harms and that energy companies should be held financially responsible under Maryland tort law. But there’s a deeper issue here. These lawsuits aren’t about creating new laws or regulations through the normal democratic process. Instead, they try to use the courts to force energy producers to pay billions of dollars by claiming they’re legally liable under state tort law—a legal system designed for personal and property harm, not global climate issues. The...

    A federal judge on Friday dismissed President Trump’s lawsuit against far-left author Bob Woodward over his audiobook. In 2023, President Trump sued Bob Woodward for $49 million for releasing recordings of interviews he gave to him in 2019 and 2020. Toxic RINO Lindsey Graham reportedly brokered the meeting with Trump and Bob Woodward. Bob Woodward, a far-left author and Washington Post editor, released “The Trump Tapes” audiobook with more than 8 hours of his interviews with President Trump. Woodward is a Deep State hack and has been an FBI asset since the 1970s. Trump said he never agreed to the...

    President Donald Trump on Friday officially sued the Wall Street Journal, its owner Rupert Murdoch and some of its staff for publishing its story on the president and Jeffrey Epstein, fulfilling a promise he made Thursday night. Trump made the promise in an angry social media post, where he claimed the story was "fake" and that the birthday card the outlet claimed he had sent to Epstein for his 50th birthday did not even sound like him. The text of the libel lawsuit, which was filed in federal court for the Southern District of Florida, was not immediately available, per...

    We already knew that Donald Trump was acquainted with Jeffrey Epstein. The two were both young New York City multi-millionaires back in the day and ran with some of the big dogs in a big town. There are photos of Epstein with Trump and his then-girlfriend, Melania. So one wonders why it would be BLOCKBUSTER news on the pages of the Wall Street Journal that Trump received an invitation to Epstein's 50th birthday before anyone with a badge and gun knew the financier was a sick pervert. No, really, that's the big news from the Journal that has been leaking...

    Late Thursday afternoon, the Wall Street Journal published an "exclusive" involving President Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein. That "scoop," as our Joe Cunningham notes, amounts to a "bawdy" birthday card purportedly sent by Trump to Epstein for his 50th birthday...in 2003. Setting aside the time, context, and rather ridiculous nature of the described communication, WSJ noted that Trump flat-out denied having authored the note. "This is not me," he said in response to the story. "This is a fake thing. It's a fake Wall Street Journal story. I never wrote a picture in my life. I don't draw pictures of...

Trump that the supposed letter they printed by President Trump to Epstein was a FAKE and, if they print it, they will be sued. Mr. Murdoch stated that he would take care of it but,...

Mr. Murdoch stated that he would take care of it but, obviously, did not have the power to do so.

    Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) has always tiptoed close to the line when it comes to allegations of defamation against President Trump, but this time she might have finally crossed it. Critics of AOC are calling on President Donald Trump to sue the “Squad” Democrat after she called him a “rapist” in a blustery social media post over the weekend in reference to a civil judgment in the case brought by E. Jean Carroll. “Wow who would have thought that electing a rapist would have complicated the release of the Epstein Files?” Ocasio-Cortez posted to X on Friday. The 2023 case...

The Center for Constitutional Rights issued a press release on Thursday announcing that he filed a lawsuit “detailing the harm he has suffered as a result of his politically motivated arrest and detention.” Khalil is seeking $20 million in damages. He told a reporter that if he wins the lawsuit, he would use the money to help other foreign students who have been detained in a similar fashion.

    Trump’s lawsuit alleged CBS edited Harris’s response to the Israel question "to make her look better" and that the action amounted to "election interference." The lawsuit said CBS deceptively aired the edited, more polished version on "60 Minutes" and a different, rambling one on "Face the Nation." Trump's lawsuit framed this as not just political bias, but as a form of commercial deception under Texas’s Deceptive Trade Practices‑Consumer Protection Act, arguing that CBS's editing gave Harris an unfair advantage. "With this record settlement, President Donald J. Trump delivers another win for the American people as he, once again, holds the...

Trump will receive $16 million upfront. This will cover legal fees, costs of the case, and contributions to his library or charitable causes, to be determined at Trump’s discretion. There is an expectation that there will be another allocation in the mid-eight figures set aside for advertisements, public service announcements, or other similar transmissions, in support of conservative causes by the network, Fox News Digital has learned.

    Environmental groups Friday filed a federal lawsuit seeking to halt construction and operation of a detention center for undocumented immigrants that has been dubbed “Alligator Alcatraz,” saying it threatens ecologically sensitive areas and species in the surrounding Everglades and Big Cypress National Preserve. The lawsuit, filed by the group Friends of the Everglades and the Center for Biological Diversity, alleges that federal and state agencies have violated laws that, in part, require evaluating potential environmental impacts before such a project can move forward. “The hasty transformation of the site into a mass detention facility, which includes the installation of housing...
