At Law Dork, I wrote about Justice Barrett's disingenuous Fox News shadow docket response:

Barrett turns to Fox News, rather than the docket, to explain her silence in key rulings

Justice Barrett wrote nothing in the racial profiling shadow docket ruling, but had something to say on Fox News Sunday. And, for paid subscribers: Closing my tabs.

Has anyone ever been told their "cardiac age" after their routine six month annual physical before? Is that a thing that actually happens somewhere other than in the Walter Reed platinum suite?

1. In 2022, Jeff Bezos promised to give away the majority of his wealth during his lifetime.

It is not going well.

Since making the pledge, his net worth has almost doubled to $240 billion.

Meanwhile, he has given less than $5 billion to charity.

Jeff Bezos Can’t Give Away His Money

Maybe he should ask his ex-wife.
