The Department of Education's failure to properly process discharge applications from vulnerable and sick borrowers is reprehensible. We are simply asking the Department to review their applications on the merits, as is their right.

The proposal is the North Carolina GOP's latest attack on the state bar, a government agency that regulates lawyers. If this proposal becomes law, the same Republicans who have targeted Democratic justices with bogus ethics charges will control the committee that decides when lawyers violate ethics rules.

A subpoena is simply a command to a witness to provide relevant information, if they have any. As we sit here right now, former attorney general Pam Bondi has the exact same information that she had a week ago when she was still the sitting AG.

Federal Judge Michael Liburdi's decision to back the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission came after a week of arguments regarding the legality of prediction markets. A lawyer for the CFTC stated that a state criminal case would be a flawed approach to resolving contentious issues surrounding these markets.

"The current administration has signaled that it is very pro-business and wants to make it as easy as possible for these new fintech business models such as prediction markets and crypto to operate."

"What's most problematic is that the extraordinary has become ordinary. It's just a matter of course now that when you issue an opinion that some people don't like, you're going to get threats, you're going to get death threats, and that is obviously problematic on many levels."

After all, you get lifetime job security, great pay and benefits, thousands of dollars in gifts, entry into an elite club of fellow justices - oh, and the ability to shape the country as we know it.

The case centers on reimbursement requests submitted by local governments under federal migrant support grants. Those requests were filed before Homeland Security formally terminated the grants, and the law requires agencies to process reimbursements within a statutory 30-day window. Instead of paying up or offering a lawful explanation for denying the requests, the administration froze the funds and then argued that it no longer had to meet the reimbursement deadline because the grants were now in "closeout."

A federal judge granted a preliminary injunction Monday, Feb. 9, allowing federal immigration officials to continue wearing masks during California operations, but upheld a law requiring law enforcement to display badges identifying themselves and their agency. U.S. District Judge Christine A. Snyder in Los Angeles granted the Trump administration's request for a temporary order halting enforcement of SB 627, the No Secret Police Act, which Gov. Gavin Newsom signed into law in September amid ongoing waves of federal immigration enforcements across California.

A student-led coalition has gathered more than 2,600 signatures from law students, legal academics, and law student organizations across 109 law schools calling on Congress to pass the Federal Officer Accountability Act. As the Department of Homeland Security disappears suspected migrants without due process, arbitrarily harasses citizens, and point blank kills innocent people on camera, a shocked public has learned what lawyers have talked about for years: the government has stacked the immunity deck to functionally shield law enforcement from accountability.
