Justice Jackson takes an interesting stand today. SCOTUS often waives the filing fees for indigent parties—but refuses to do so after they file multiple "frivolous" petitions. Jackson says that's unfair and dissents from the practice moving forward. www.supremecourt.gov/orders/court...

Dokoupil's both-sidesing of Jan6 is especially unfortunately given that @macfarlanenews.bsky.social has been relentless on the Jan6 beat.

We need hard truths and tough reporting, not 'both-sides-equal' trash
The CBS anchor again embarrasses the network’s legacy. Plus: some examples of journalists who are doing it right

Some 600 immigrant kids were sent to federal custody by ICE in 2025.
A 17-year-old was detained at a traffic stop because officers couldn’t make contact with his dad, who is deaf.
Another kid ended up in a shelter after making a wrong turn.
