In response to a Federal Court's new order, tHere may be a race to the courthouse, as Journalist and Epstein-Melania chronicler Michael Wolff decides whether to file first against Melania to expose her connections to Epstein in a new declaratory judgement suit, or asks the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals to grant him a deposition of Melania to try to prove she lives in New York and not with Trump in Florida. Either way, Melania's cover-up of aspects of her marriage and residency she'd rather keep hidden may finally be coming to an end.

Roughly two weeks ago, the New Orleans-based U.S. 5th Circuit Court of Appeals issued a ruling to ban the distribution of Mifepristone — one of two widely used drugs used for medication abortion — following telehealth appointments. The Supreme Court issued a temporary stay of the ruling before releasing a new decision to keep Mifepristone available while the case proceeds in lower courts. Rosemary Westwood, a New York Times fellow and former WWNO and WRKF public health reporter, joins us with the latest.East Baton Rouge city-parish employees are set to receive an across-the-board raise. Many will see at least a 3.5% increase in their paycheck starting in July. The goal is to bring parish employees above the poverty line as much as possible. Before this raise, the lowest-paid worker roughly made $10.54 per hour. Now, that rate sits at roughly $12.53 per hour. WRKF's Report for America Corps member Alex Cox tells us more.Since opening in 2018, Hotel Hope in New Orleans has served as a safe space for hundreds of mothers and children in need of shelter. The nonprofit provides food, clothing and case management services to assist families in need of support. It also helps them find permanent housing.

“The GBA's silence on Alexander Afenyo-Markin's attacks on a Circuit Court judge strengthens my long-held belief that it is aligned with the NPP. I anticipate they will make their stance public so it is clear how to deal with them going forward.” - Government Spokesperson, Felix Kwakye Ofosu
Medication abortions now comprise up to an estimated two-thirds of all abortions in the U.S., and about a quarter of the mifepristone-misoprostol combination are prescribed via telehealth. Medication abortions are safe and effective when used within the first 12 weeks of pregnancy. Forty percent of all abortions occur at 6 weeks or less, another 38% between 7 - 9 weeks, and 14% between 10 - 13 weeks, according to the Guttmacher Institute. Not having to visit a doctor in person to get the medication can make all the difference for access, particularly for those who are low-income or live in rural areas. Telehealth access to mifepristone was briefly paused after the state of Louisiana sued the FDA, saying its rules violated its total abortion ban. On May 1, the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals granted Louisiana's request for a stay, which meant doctors could not prescribe the drugs via telehealth. But the U.S. Supreme Court blocked that stay, restoring the FDA’s rules while the Louisiana lawsuit continues. Sara Kennedy the CEO of Planned Parenthood Columbia Willadrmette and an OBGYN, and Amy Handler is the CEO of Planned Parenthood of Southwestern Oregon. They join us to discuss the implications of this case—and the impact of the law signed this week by Gov. Tina Kotek to restore Planned Parenthood’s medicaid funding.
This week's roundtable discussion was recorded prior to the U.S. Supreme Court's last minute clearing of the execution of Edward Busby, at a moment when we were hopeful that the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals staying of his execution, based on finding that he is intellectually disabled, would be honored. Sadly, it was not. Capital punishment is a stain upon civilization, and we explain that position in today's talk.We also discuss the political power of Black NCAA athletes in the South - specifically, those attending colleges in the SEC - and how those young Americans might find themselves agents of needed change at a moment when the rights they have been granted through years of struggle are being curtailed.

California's trans agenda suffers another legal blow after attempt to undercut SCOTUS order fails A three-judge panel for the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled against California, saying its request should be handled by a lower court Conservatives celebrated Tuesday after a federal appeals court denied California's request to narrow a Supreme Court ruling on transgender policies, two weeks after the high court dealt the state a major blow in the same case. “California has now lost at the district court, lost at the Supreme Court, and been turned away by the Ninth Circuit,” Executive Vice President of the Thomas...

The federal government may be swinging the hammer, but workers are building anyway. Jennifer Sherer, deputy director of the Economic Policy Institute's Economic Analysis and Research Network, joins the America's Work Force Union Podcast to discuss a moment of startling contrasts. Despite a hostile federal environment, approximately 463,000 workers joined unions in 2025. Sherer breaks down how states like Virginia are becoming the new front lines for worker power—banning captive-audience meetings, repealing "right to work" laws and protecting the right to strike when Washington fails to act. But grassroots growth is being met by a "legal ghost" in the courts. In our second segment, labor lawyer Andrew Strom joins us for a post-mortem on the Bobby Reed case. After 13 years of litigation and two victories before the NLRB, the D.C. Circuit Court used a 73-year-old legal doctrine to strip Reed—a 34-year utility veteran—of his federal protections. His "crime"? Testifying before the Texas State Senate about workplace fires without explicitly mentioning a labor dispute. Strom explains how this ruling turns civic participation into a minefield for private-sector workers and why the current Supreme Court makes a rescue unlikely. Featured Guests: Jennifer Sherer: Deputy Director, EARN (Economic Policy Institute) Andrew Strom: Labor Lawyer, Brooklyn Law School professor and OnLabor contributor Inside the Episode: The data behind the 463,000-worker union surge The "Jefferson Standard" and the death of worker free speech Bobby Reed and his 13-year fight for justice

On Monday, May 4, the Supreme Court issued a temporary stay on a lower court's order that mifepristone, a drug commonly used in early-term abortions, can only be prescribed and dispensed in person. The order pauses the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals's decision to prevent the drug from being accessed by mail. In a brief order, Justice Samuel Alito, who oversees appeals from the 5th Circuit, paused that court's order until May 11, restoring telehealth access to the drug and giving challengers until May 7 to respond.Ad-free podcasts are here!To listen to this podcast ad-free, and to enjoy our subscriber only premium content, go to ReadTangle.com to sign up!Do Americans see each other as immoral?Back in March, the headline was everywhere: “Americans Especially Likely To View Fellow Citizens as Morally Bad,” the title of a 25-country study from the Pew Research Center.

Calista Springer was a 16-year-old girl from Centreville, Michigan, who loved to draw, paint, and color — and who spent most of her short life being abused, starved, and chained to a bed by the people who were supposed to protect her. For over a decade, teachers, neighbors, and social workers filed at least 15 reports with Child Protective Services. Nothing was done. On February 27, 2008, a fire broke out in the Springer home. Calista could not escape. She was chained to her bunk bed by a dog choke chain. She died of carbon monoxide poisoning. She was 91 pounds.The Calista Springer case is one of the most heartbreaking examples of child abuse and CPS failure in Michigan history. Calista's stepmother, Marsha and father, Anthony Springer, were ultimately convicted of torture and first-degree child abuse — but only after years of documented abuse that investigators, caseworkers, and school officials failed to stop. The Springers had even pulled Calista out of public school under Michigan's permissive homeschool laws, removing her from the last adults who could have intervened. In 2010, both Marsha and Anthony were sentenced to up to 50 years in prison for torture.In this episode of Weird True Crime, Amber and Gina walk through the full story of Calista Springer — from her early childhood and diagnosis with Pervasive Developmental Disorder, to the years of reported child abuse that CPS ignored, to the fire that killed her and the criminal trial that followed. They also examine the civil lawsuit against the CPS workers who closed Calista's case, the role Michigan's homeschool laws played in hiding her abuse, and what her case changed — and didn't change — about how the state protects vulnerable children.If this episode moved you, please share it. The more people who know Calista's story, the harder it becomes to look away from the systems that failed her — and the children who are still waiting for someone to believe them. Follow Weird True Crime wherever you listen to podcasts, and leave us a review if you have a minute — it helps more people find the show.
Last Friday, the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals blocked a ruling from the FDA that allowed the medication abortion drug mifepristone to be sent to patients without an in-person visit to a healthcare provider.

Following a 5th Circuit Court ruling seeking to prevent telemedicine prescriptions of the abortion pill mifepristone and a subsequent Supreme Court order for a one-week administrative stay on that decision, Arizona state senator Analise Ortiz joined ForbesWomen editor Maggie McGrath to talk about what the legal back and forth means for her constituents. "Arizona voters overwhelmingly approved a proposition to enshrine abortion access into the state constitution," Senator Ortiz said. "Now, with all of this happening in the Fifth Circuit, it now puts things into further chaos and confusion for Arizonans when the voters have already spoken on this issue."

It's Monday, May 4th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Christians in Afghanistan have to remain invisible to survive Being known as a Christian in Taliban-controlled Afghanistan brings lethal danger. In this country of 44 million people, Muslims comprise more than 99.7% of the population, reports International Christian Concern. Not long after the Taliban retook control of Afghanistan in August 2021, they declared that no Christians were remaining in the country. Though the Taliban claimed no Christians remained, Christians still exist—surviving only by remaining invisible. The Taliban reportedly searched door to door and through smartphones, hunting for any signs of Christian conversion. This reality highlights the core argument: Afghan Christians must stay hidden to survive. The situation also became highly precarious for other religious minorities, including Sikhs, Hindus, and the country's last Jewish resident. According to Open Doors, Afghanistan is the 11th most dangerous country for Christians worldwide. In John 15:19, Jesus said to His disciples, “If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you.” Trump withdraws 5,000 troops from Germany The United States will withdraw 5,000 troops from Germany in the next six to 12 months, the Pentagon said Friday, fulfilling President Donald Trump's threat as he clashes with the German leader over the U.S. war with Iran, reports the Associated Press. Trump had threatened to withdraw some troops from the NATO ally earlier this week after German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said the U.S. was being “humiliated” by the Iranian leadership and criticized Washington's lack of strategy in the war. Germany hosts several U.S. military facilities, including the headquarters of its European and Africa commands, Ramstein Air Base and a medical center in Landstuhl, where casualties from the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq were treated. U.S. nuclear missiles are also stationed in the country. The number of troops leaving Germany would be 14% of the 36,000 American service members stationed there. News of the troop withdrawal drew swift pushback from Democrats in Congress as well as a hawkish Washington think tank. They said the move will benefit Russian President Vladimir Putin and weaken U.S. security interests. Bradley Bowman, a scholar at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, said the U.S. military's presence in Germany and elsewhere in Europe “not only strengthens deterrence against additional Kremlin aggression but also facilitates the projection of American military power into the Mediterranean, the Middle East, and Africa.” Federal appeals court blocks mail-order abortion pills Ready for some great pro-life news? On May 1st, a federal court issued a ruling that temporarily blocked the ability to send the Abortion Kill Pill by mail. Of American mothers who abort, 63% choose to use abortion drugs. If ultimately upheld, this decision could save tens of thousands of babies from abortions, reports LifeNews.com. A panel of the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans temporarily blocked a Biden administration rule allowing the abortion drug, mifepristone, to be dispensed through the mail. Marjorie Dannenfelser, the president of Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America, called the ruling “a huge victory for victims and survivors of Biden's reckless mail-order abortion drug regime. We are so grateful for the tenacity of [Louisiana] Attorney General Liz Murrill, abortion drug coercion survivor Rosalie Markezich, and all our allies demanding action. “Women and children suffer and state sovereignty is violated every day the Food and Drug Administration allows abortion drugs to flood the mail – harms that are no mere accident, but predictable outcomes of the FDA's unscientific removal of safeguards like in-person doctor visits.” Republican State candidate found dead An investigation is underway into the death of a Republican state Senate candidate in Oklahoma who was found dead in his pickup truck on April 30th in a wildlife refuge, reports The Western Journal. Barry Christian, a candidate for state Senate District 38, had disappeared on April 28th, according to KOCO-TV. The Beckham County Sheriff's Office said a hunter reported to authorities that he had seen the wreck of a pickup truck that appeared to have crashed off a high ridge. 149th anniversary of God's locust miracle in Minnesota And finally, from 1873 to 1877, grasshoppers, also known as locusts, destroyed hundreds of thousands of acres of crops in Minnesota, leaving eggs in the soil for the next season. On April 26, 1877, Minnesota Republican Governor John Pillsbury declared a statewide day of prayer and fasting to combat a devastating four-year Rocky Mountain locust plague, which was threatening widespread starvation. Schools and businesses closed, with many residents taking the day seriously, asking God for deliverance. Shortly after the day of prayer, an unseasonable cold snap and snow arrived, freezing and killing millions of hatching larvae grasshopper nymphs. It was divine intervention. God answered their prayers. Prayer At The Heart invites 1 million Christians to pray for an unbeliever Speaking of the power of prayer, Prayer At The Heart, a group founded in 2021, to pray for America, launched 50 days of prayer, inviting one million Christians to pray for the salvations of a friend or loved one through May 24th. Franklin Graham said, “The Billy Graham Evangelistic Association desires to express its appreciation and support for the efforts of Prayer At The Heart to see one million people come to Christ by Pentecost Sunday, 2026. This could be the beginning of the spiritual awakening our nation so desperately needs, a renewal found only in Jesus Christ.” Get access to a free 68-page, 50-day prayer guide through a special link in our transcript today at www.TheWorldview.com.

Photo: Apache Stronghold supporters converge at Oak Flat campground on February 22, 2025. (Gabriel Pietrorazio) A group opposed to a massive Arizona copper mining project filed a petition last week before the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. They are hoping the court will reconsider the recent Oak Flat land swap between the U.S. Forest Service and Resolution Copper. KJZZ's Gabriel Pietrorazio has details. A split, three-judge panel from the very same appeals court allowed the controversial transfer to proceed after tossing out a slew of lawsuits – while also lifting an injunction back in March. But plaintiffs now argue they still have a case to be made. Judge Johnnie Rawlinson agrees. In her dissenting opinion from April, she wrote that before the court stamps its seal on a decision that will “completely annihilate sacred Native lands, we must be certain that every i was dotted and every t was crossed. And that simply is not the case.” An FNX original children's series is earning national recognition. “Navajo Highways”, created by Pete Sands and filmed in Moab, Utah, has been nominated for two Emmy Awards by the Pacific Southwest Chapter of the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences. The nominations, announced recently, honor the show's educational content and set design.

Montgomery Blair Sibley is a former American lawyer who had his Florida Bar license suspended in 2008, and is best known for defending Deborah Palfrey, the "DC Madam", in 2007-2008.[1][2]Blair wrote a book about Palfrey, and his defense of her, entitled Why Just Her: The Judicial Lynching of the D.C. Madam, Deborah Jeane Palfrey.[2] Henry Vinson, author of Confessions of a D.C. Madam, wrote that Sibley "had to contend with the feds judicial chicanery and sleight of hand."[3]In 2008, The Florida Bar suspended Sibley's right to practice law in that state for three years.[4] Sibley was later determined to be a vexatious litigator.[5]In 2012, Sibley unsuccessfully sued President Barack Obama, alleging that he was not a natural-born citizen.[6][7]2016 Presidential ElectionIn 2016, Sibley, who claims to have Palfrey's phone records, unsuccessfully attempted to have her records unsealed.[8] Sibley claims the information they contain would be highly relevant to voters in the upcoming 2016 presidential election.[6][7]In February 2016, Sibley sued then-Chief Judge Richard W. Roberts, and his clerk, for failing to file his motion to lift the restraining order (gag order) that prevents Sibley from releasing her records.[9][10]Sibley then requested that the U.S. Supreme Court release him from the lower court's restraining order, stating: “To be clear, if Sibley is not allowed to file his Motion to Modify the Restraining Order and thereafter does not promptly receive a fair and impartial hearing on that Motion, he will justifiably consider the Restraining Order void as a result of being denied such a hearing by the District Court, the D.C. Circuit Court and now this Court.”[11][12]Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

What began as a straightforward national-security and event-space upgrade has become the latest flashpoint in the separation-of-powers fight. The preliminary injunction issued by Judge Leon claims a single individual who has an aesthetic objection to the new ballroom that has not even yet been built is sufficient for the unelected, black-robed, tyrannical, inferior, Article III Judicial branch to obstruct the core and plenary powers of the democratically elected Article II Executive branch. This case perfectly illustrates the federal judiciary overreaching its legitimate constitutional bounds. Instead of deferring to the executive on matters of White House security and operations, the court is demanding Congress or the court itself micromanage the president's own residence. The D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals did issue a temporary stay until April 17, but only on the most superficial grounds, failing to recognize the inherent Constitutional inadequacy of the lawsuit itself. This only underscores how shaky the district court's reasoning is—yet the underlying message remains: activist judges believe they, not the elected president, get the final say on executive-branch real estate, as on everything else.Join me as I translate the actual court filings into plain English, expose the thin legal arguments behind the injunction, and show exactly how this power grab threatens every future president's ability to manage the White House. If you want to understand why the judiciary's meddling here is constitutionally dangerous—and what it means for the balance of power—watch until the end.Join me LIVE at 11 AM ET as I break it all down!Episode #1288.

On Wednesday's Mark Levin Show, in the spirit of George Wallace, Democrats in Virginia disenfranchised millions of voters through a misleading referendum on representation, which passed in a Democrat-majority state where most Democrats voted against Republicans having any seats. But the Tazewell Circuit Court just ruled the referendum unconstitutional on two grounds: the ballot language was utterly misleading and the legislature's vote to place it on the ballot violated state law. The judge issued an injunction blocking certification and denied a stay, with a final order forthcoming and immediate appeal expected to the Virginia Supreme Court. Ken Cuccinelli calls in and explains the Circuit Court's decision. There are four significant state constitutional violations, any one of which could invalidate the referendum or the resulting map, as challengers only need to prove one flaw while defenders must win on all four. Also, the Southern Poverty Law Center has targeted and maligned traditional conservatives for decades. After the civil rights era, it struggled to find enough discrimination under federal and state law to attract donors, so it created such discrimination on a grand scale. According to an indictment with receipts, the organization funneled more than $3 million in donor funds to extremist groups. It set up accounts with fake names to launder the money and conceal its involvement. Later, Dana Perino calls in to discuss her new novel - Purple State. She also weighed in on the Southern Poverty Law Center which she called the greatest extortion scam in a long time by creating and inflating hate in order to claim credit for fighting it. Perino also emphasized that Israel's post-October 7 actions and recent intelligence gains have put the Iranian regime on the ropes, and Trump would ultimately finish the job.

While the Supreme Court upholds that a terminally ill patient can not try any experimental drugs, the Circuit Courts have said that healthy people can be mandated to use an experimental drug and can't sue for any bad side effects. California is looking at passing a law to punish anyone who wants to investigate fraud and report it as a citizen journalist.

1. Purpose of the Book The book aims to: Tell Clarence Thomas’s personal life story, especially his rise from extreme poverty. Explain his judicial philosophy and jurisprudence in plain, accessible language. It is based on approximately 9.5 hours of exclusive, one‑on‑one interviews between Ted Cruz and Justice Thomas. Cruz emphasizes that the book is written for non‑lawyers, including students and general readers. 2. Clarence Thomas’s Background and Life Journey Grew up in severe poverty in Pin Point, Georgia, raised primarily by his grandfather. Initially spoke a Gullah/Geechee dialect, not English. Experienced racism, hardship, family conflict, and personal struggles, including anger and a period of heavy drinking. Attended seminary with the intention of becoming a Catholic priest, later leaving due to disillusionment. Educated at Holy Cross College and Yale Law School. Underwent a major ideological transformation, moving from left‑wing Black Power activism to conservative principles over many years. 3. Professional Rise and Historic Achievements Faced career obstacles due to perceptions surrounding affirmative action. Worked under Republican Senator John Danforth, which became a turning point. Served in: The Reagan administration The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) The D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals Appointed in 1991 as the second Black Justice on the U.S. Supreme Court. On track to become the longest‑serving Supreme Court justice in U.S. history (by 2028). 4. Judicial Philosophy (“Going Further”) Thomas’s jurisprudence emphasizes: Originalism and the original meaning of the Constitution The belief that rights come from God/nature, not government A color‑blind Constitution Judicial restraint: judges should interpret and apply law, not create policy His opinions are intentionally plain‑spoken and accessible, reflecting his background and respect for ordinary citizens. The title Going Further reflects his tendency to push legal reasoning to its foundational principles rather than incremental change. 5. Confirmation Hearings and Public Attacks The book examines the 1991 confirmation hearings, including: Allegations by Anita Hill Intense political and media attacks Cruz draws parallels between Thomas’s hearings and later Supreme Court confirmations (e.g., Brett Kavanaugh). Thomas is portrayed as enduring racialized hostility and vilification because of his conservative views. 6. Legacy and Moral Example Clarence Thomas is presented as: A model of personal resilience, discipline, and principle Someone who maintained convictions despite decades of criticism Cruz argues Thomas would be widely celebrated if he were liberal, but instead has been marginalized. The book frames Thomas as a role model for principled living, not just for lawyers but for all Americans. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

Now this doesn't mean we can all run out and get our gear to start making whiskey, some states (like Georgia) have bans in place on top of the federal ban. The reason it was overturned is interesting, too.

The Justice Department has moved the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals to drop the Oath Keepers and Proud Boys seditious conspiracy cases, the last remaining criminal matters arising from the Jan. 6 insurrection. Lawfare's editor in chief, Benjamin Wittes, sits down with four contributors who had intimate involvement with the cases to discuss the decision: Senior Editor Roger Parloff, who covered both trials; Senior Editor Michael Feinberg, who investigated both the Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers; Public Service Fellow Troy Edwards, who prosecuted the Oath Keepers case; and James Pearce of Washington Litigation Group, who worked on the prosecution as well.

On Wednesday's Mark Levin Show, House Democrats have filed articles of impeachment against Secretary of War Pete Hegseth. These are baseless lies against him and it's all political theater designed to create controversy and stir up the Democratic base for the November midterms. It doesn't help when we have figures like Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Steve Bannon, Nick Fuentes, Candace Owens, and others who are damaging the Republican Party and conservative movement by trashing it, wanting it and Trump to fail, which could help hand Democrats the House or Senate. Later, Rep Elise Stefanik calls in to discuss her new book - Poisoned Ivies: The Inside Account of the Academic and Moral Rot at America's Elite Universities. Also, the current sacrifices for the Iran war are minimal compared to past battles. This is a fight to prevent primitive terrorists from launching nuclear missiles at the country and to protect Western young people from slaughter, shooting, rape, and brutality. Despite this, gasoline prices are now lower than under Biden, while inflation has dropped significantly. Presidents can only do so much and often cause more damage than good, yet President Trump has taken many actions to help average Americans. Finally, Julie Kelly calls in and explains that Judge James Boasberg suffered another setback as the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals issued a second writ of mandamus, definitively ending his 13-month contempt investigation against the Trump administration. Learn more about your ad choices.

On this, our 317th Evolutionary Lens livestream, we discuss radiation and its impact on (rodent) health, and the 9th circuit's decision to let men use women's spas. First: research published in 2018 finds that low levels of non-ionizing radiation—like that emitted by cell phones and air pods—are actually associated with life extension in mice and rats. Don't get too excited—these are the same rodents whose breeding protocols have broken them in some counter-intuitive ways, including that low doses of toxins or radiation can actually slow down the cancer that will otherwise kill them. Then: Olympus Spa, a traditional Korean nude spa for women in the Seattle area, was told by the state of Washington, now upheld by the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, that they must let men in, so long as those men think they're women. Judge VanDyke's dissent correctly summarizes the issue as one of “swinging dicks.”*****Our sponsors:CrowdHealth: Pay for healthcare with crowdfunding instead of insurance. It's way better.
