This Day in Legal History: SkidmoreOn December 4, 1944, the U.S. Supreme Court issued its decision in Skidmore v. Swift & Co., a case interpreting the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). The plaintiffs were firefighters employed by a private company who sought overtime pay for time spent waiting on the employer's premises, even when not actively fighting fires. The Court ruled that such “waiting time” could qualify as compensable work depending on the circumstances — a fact-intensive inquiry rather than a rigid rule. More significantly, the Court declined to treat the Department of Labor's interpretation of the FLSA as binding. Instead, Justice Jackson, writing for the Court, articulated what became known as “Skidmore deference,” explaining that agency interpretations are entitled to respect based on their “power to persuade,” not their authority.This approach emphasized judicial independence while still valuing agency expertise, setting a flexible standard for reviewing administrative interpretations. For decades, Skidmore shaped the way courts evaluated regulatory guidance, particularly where statutes were silent or ambiguous. That changed in 1984, when the Court decided Chevron U.S.A., Inc. v. NRDC, introducing a more deferential, two-step test that often required courts to uphold reasonable agency interpretations. Chevron effectively sidelined Skidmore, making agency interpretations more binding than persuasive.That more restrained approach to agency interpretation—Skidmore's “power to persuade”—quietly persisted in the background during the decades-long dominance of Chevron deference. But on June 28, 2024, in Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo, the Supreme Court formally overruled Chevron, declaring that courts must exercise independent judgment in interpreting statutes, even when those statutes are ambiguous. The Court emphasized that the Administrative Procedure Act assigns to the judiciary—not agencies—the duty to “decide all relevant questions of law” and interpret statutory provisions without default deference to agency views. In doing so, the Court explicitly endorsed the Skidmore model of respect rather than deference, reaffirming that agency interpretations may still inform judicial decisions, but only to the extent they are persuasive. So, 80 years after Skidmore was decided, its modest, judge-centered vision of statutory interpretation has once again become the law of the land.A group of former federal employees filed a proposed class action lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, alleging the Trump administration unlawfully removed them from their jobs due to their work in diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs. The plaintiffs claim the dismissals were politically motivated and violated their First Amendment rights as well as Title VII of the Civil Rights Act.According to the complaint, the reductions in force went beyond typical administrative turnover, instead constituting a deliberate effort to punish perceived political opponents. The plaintiffs argue they were targeted because they held, or were believed to have held, roles connected to DEI initiatives, which President Trump vocally opposed. The lawsuit points to executive orders that allegedly discriminated against women, people of color, and nonbinary individuals.Defendants named include the White House, Justice Department, CIA, Defense Department, Federal Reserve, Labor Department, and Treasury. The plaintiffs are seeking reinstatement, back pay, restoration of seniority, and attorneys' fees.Trump, Agencies Hit With Ex-Federal Workers' Political Bias SuitUnder President Trump's second administration, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is on track for its lowest number of earnings fraud and auditor liability enforcement actions since the Reagan era. So far in 2025, only 20 such cases have been filed—far below the historical average of 79 per year since Trump's first term began in 2017. The decline is attributed to leadership changes, a 43-day government shutdown, shifting agency priorities, and a shrinking SEC staff due to retirements and buyouts.SEC Chair Paul Atkins has emphasized targeting only the most harmful and deliberate frauds, deprioritizing minor or technical violations. Enforcement has also slowed due to procedural constraints, including legal challenges limiting the use of in-house judges and forcing more cases into federal court. Despite the drop in formal actions, former officials and commission watchers caution that investigations continue behind the scenes and could yield future penalties.The agency did finalize some notable settlements early in the year, including $19 million from American Electric Power and $8 million from GrubMarket. However, enforcement activity has since dropped steeply, marking the largest first-year decline following a presidential inauguration since the 1980s.SEC's Earnings Fraud, Auditor Liability Cases Plunge Under TrumpU.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced it will stop processing green cards and related immigration benefits for individuals from 19 countries named in a June Trump administration travel ban. This expanded restriction follows a separate decision by the State Department to suspend visa processing for Afghan nationals after a deadly shooting involving two National Guard members in Washington, D.C.The new USCIS policy affects several types of applications, including those for permanent residency, green card replacements, travel documents, and requests by permanent residents to maintain status while abroad. The halt applies regardless of when the applicant entered the U.S. The agency cited national security concerns as the reason for the changes and indicated all affected individuals may face renewed interviews or screenings.The travel ban currently includes countries such as Afghanistan, Iran, Somalia, Venezuela, and others, with reports suggesting the administration plans to expand the list to about 30 nations. The memo emphasized that individuals from these “high-risk countries of concern” who arrived in the U.S. after January 20, 2021, are subject to re-evaluation.Trump Travel Ban Limits Extend to Green Cards, Other Benefits This is a public episode.

Thank you to our sponsor, Uniswap! Class action lawsuits targeting crypto firms are on the rise. While observers often brush off the cases as opportunistic, they may be more of an existential threat than many think. In this episode of DEX in the City, hosts Jessi Brooks of Ribbit Capital, Katherine Kirkpatrick Bos of StarkWare, and Vy Le of Veda unpack what class action suits are and why they may be more of a threat to crypto than enforcement actions. Katherine breaks down the derivative case against Coinbase while Jessi explains why Binance has “bad facts” in the Hamas case. Meanwhile, Vy explains why the tussle over prediction markets like Kalshi by state gambling regulators could make it to the Supreme Court. Plus, China's crypto crackdown and the CME's outage.

Are you watching the freight market shift beneath the holiday noise and prepared for the regulatory shakeups shaping 2026? Listen to the real trends driving today's trucking industry, from holiday-masked rate movements and tightening December capacity to diesel prices putting pressure on operating costs. Let's also talk about why the FMCSA's overhaul of ELD approvals and the removal of nearly 3,000 fraudulent CDL schools are raising the bar for safety, compliance, and long-term carrier competitiveness, the impact of rising tariffs, new port fees, and legal uncertainty on heavy equipment shippers, and how weather disruptions and elevated tender rejections are signaling potential rate increases heading into early 2026!   Resources / References https://www.ttnews.com/articles/dot-cdl-mills-crackdown https://www.joc.com/article/tariff-costs-data-center-demand-create-mixed-outlook-for-roro-shippers-in-2026-6127099 https://www.freightwaves.com/news/inside-dots-new-eld-approval-overhaul-what-changed-and-why-it-matters  

The Mark Cox Morning Show covered a mix of national politics, finance, and human interest stories across its four hours. The show opened with local weather and commutes, viral pop culture moments, and discussions on the Trump administration, border security, and cultural licensing controversies. Attention then shifted to national defense and U.S. actions against narco-terrorist drug operations, highlighting Pete Hegseth's support for lethal action against drug traffickers, the sinking of drug boats, and the political and media responses to these operations, including debates over War Powers Act requirements. The program also tackled TSA enforcement and Real ID compliance, noting potential fees and logistical challenges for travelers. Later segments featured interviews with Jimmy Failla, who analyzed the Democratic Party's reactions to national security issues, political elections, and broader cultural trends, followed by Taylor Riggs breaking down the stock market, Federal Reserve policy, and the Dell family's $6.25 billion investment in children's accounts, emphasizing financial literacy, compound interest, and long-term wealth-building for young Americans. The show concluded with a heartwarming story of 88-year-old Army veteran Ed Bombas, whose GoFundMe raised over $1 million to secure his retirement after losing his pension, highlighting community generosity and the impact of collective action.

Between 1997 and 2011, opioid dispensing in the United States more than tripled, fueling what would become the deadliest drug epidemic in American history. This surge in the supply of opioids was concentrated among a small subset of doctors: roughly 1 percent of the doctors who prescribed opioids accounted for almost 50 percent of all domestic opioid doses prescribed. In a paper in the American Economic Journal: Economic Policy, author Adam Soliman examined what happened when federal authorities cracked down on "rogue" doctors who overprescribed opioids.  He found that removing a single doctor from the opioid supply chain reduced county-level dispensing by 10 percent, with no negating increases in neighboring areas. Yet these interventions came with a trade-off—while overall drug mortality declined, heroin overdoses increased by 50 percent, likely as a result of existing users seeking alternatives.  Soliman recently spoke with Tyler Smith about how he untangled these complex enforcement effects and what his findings mean for combating drug epidemics that begin in the legal pharmaceutical market.

Lebanon's Failure to Disarm Hezbollah Amid Regeneration — John Batchelor, Bill Roggio, David Daoud — Roggio documents that the Lebanese government continues to systematically refuse enforcement of Hezbollahdisarmament provisions negotiated in the ceasefire agreement one year prior, instead employing rhetorical frameworks of "dialogue and consensus." Daoud reports that the Trump administration is growing impatient with this intransigence, explicitly setting deadlines for Lebanese compliance and action. Batchelor emphasizes that Hezbollah is regenerating with unprecedented speed, focusing on easily manufactured assets including drone swarms, rendering the Lebanesestrategic concept of "containment" operationally meaningless and strategically ineffective in limiting Hezbollahcapabilities. 1902 CARACAS

CannCon and Zak Paine return after the holiday break with a packed episode, opening on the heartbreaking Stockton shooting that left four young people dead before diving into the Treasury Department's new crackdown on illegal remittances sent by migrants working unlawfully in the U.S. They break down how this FinCEN move threatens cartel cash flow, destabilizes sanctuary-state politics, and directly challenges a decades-old system exposed by a newly surfaced 1983 CIA memo. The hosts then turn to Oregon, where the state's attorney general and governor are threatening to arrest federal agents enforcing immigration law, a constitutional confrontation they say is coming to a head. From there, they explore Operation Allies Welcome failures, Afghan nationals flagged for terror ties, and the deeper implications behind the recent D.C. National Guard attack. The show also highlights Trump's escalating posture toward transnational cartels and Venezuela, media attempts to undermine anti-cartel strikes, and how the intelligence community is reacting. A fast-moving, sharp breakdown of immigration, national security, and political warfare.

In 2012, NYPD officer Gilberto Valle's wife made a horrifying discovery: thousands of online chats where her husband discussed kidnapping, torturing, cooking, and eating women...including her.Valle was a member of Dark Fetish Net, a website for extreme sexual fantasies, where he shared detailed plans about cannibalizing real people he knew. The FBI arrested Valle and charged him with conspiracy to commit kidnapping. The evidence was disturbing: graphic conversations about cooking women alive, over 100 unauthorized police database searches on potential victims, Google searches for "how to make chloroform," and real-world meetings with his targets. But here's the twist: Valle never kidnapped anyone. Never attempted to. Never took any concrete steps beyond online conversations and Google searches. Valle claimed it was all fantasy role-play. Prosecutors argued it was a genuine conspiracy. After a twelve-day trial featuring gruesome evidence and disturbing testimony, the jury convicted him. Valle faced life in federal prison...This case exploded into a national debate about thoughtcrime, free speech, and the limits of conspiracy law. Can you be imprisoned for disturbing fantasies? Where's the line between fantasy and criminal intent? Should online role-play be prosecutable as conspiracy?Join Robin as she breaks it down. ---------------------------------------------------------------Keywords: Gilberto Valle, Cannibal Cop, NYPD, conspiracy to kidnap, Dark Fetish Net, true crime podcast, criminal conspiracy, First Amendment, free speech, constitutional law, federal crime, wrongful conviction, jury verdict, acquittal, Judge Paul Gardephe, thoughtcrime, police corruption, database abuse, New York crime, federal prison, legal podcast, court case analysis, civil liberties, true crime 2024, criminal justice, sexual fetish, cannibalism, vorarephilia, internet crime, cyber crime, FBI investigation, federal trial, appeals court, Second Circuit, true threats, protected speech, actus reus, overt act, criminal intent, fantasy defenseBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/we-saw-the-devil-a-true-crime-podcast--4433638/support.Website: http://www.wesawthedevil.comPatreon: http://www.patreon.com/wesawthedevilDiscord: https://discord.gg/X2qYXdB4Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/WeSawtheDevilInstagram: http://www.instagram.com/wesawthedevilpodcast.

JEFF KASS - Columbine: A True Crime Story - People think of school shootings as random, unpredictable events, but Jeff Kass says there are patterns to the violence and, more importantly, ways to prevent it. Kass was one of the first reporters on the scene at Columbine on April, 20, 1999, and his definitive book, COLUMBINE: A True Crime Story, is the result of ten years of research. In the face of determined opposition, Kass uncovered important details about Columbine and what led to it. He has translated those insights to school shootings and other shootings across the world: who's likely to commit them, where they tend to happen, and what circumstances often precede them. As students from elementary school through college return to class, Kass can talk to your audience about several school violence issues. Jeff Kass has been a reporter for the Rocky Mountain News and Los Angeles Times, and a regular contributor to U.S. News & World Report, the Boston Globe, the Christian Science Monitor, and Newsday. He has appeared on CNN, Court TV, MSNBC, NBC, Fox News, and radio. He also blogs and writes op-eds on Columbine and other mass shootings. - www.jeffkassauthor.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-x-zone-radio-tv-show--1078348/support.Please note that all XZBN radio and/or television shows are Copyright © REL-MAR McConnell Meda Company, Niagara, Ontario, Canada – www.rel-mar.com.

In this episode of the Business of Aesthetics Podcast, host Don Adeesha is joined by Sara Shikhman and Samara Bell of Langea Law to discuss the seismic shift in the regulatory landscape as we approach 2026. With the FDA moving from a reactive stance to proactive enforcement, the attorneys explain why compliance can no longer be an afterthought, specifically highlighting the new federal scrutiny on RF microneedling devices and compounded GLP-1 medications. Sara and Samara break down the dangerous misconception that popular treatments like RF microneedling are merely "cosmetic add-ons". They clarify that these are medical procedures requiring strict medical oversight and scope of practice, warning that the recent wave of FDA warning letters is a direct result of thousands of patient complaints regarding burns and scarring. They urge practice owners to abandon "one-size-fits-all" consent forms and manufacturer-provided protocols, advocating instead for procedure-specific legal documentation to protect against liability. From a business perspective, the conversation frames compliance as a critical driver of valuation. Samara warns that in the world of mergers and acquisitions, buyers are increasingly walking away from "fixer-upper" practices with poor legal structures or unlicensed activity. The duo provides actionable advice on fortifying supply chains for biologics and hiring the correct talent, arguing that the cost difference between hiring an RN versus an esthetician is a small price to pay to avoid catastrophic legal exposure and ensure a "turnkey" exit.

Panhandling Enforcement and Derelict Boats

A Kentucky lawmaker plans to introduce legislation that would compel local police and sheriff departments to assist U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the Kentucky Parole Board orders Ronald Exantus to serve out prison sentence, and the state's largest public school district proposes closing and consolidating certain schools to help with its budget deficit. 

In this episode of Ruled by Reason, AAI President Randy Stutz talks with antitrust thought leader Michael Kades about the latest developments at the intersection of federal, state and private antitrust enforcement. The conversation begins with a discussion of the strengths and weaknesses of federal, state and private enforcers in the current enforcement climate (5:11). It then moves to the promise of "public entity litigation," in which private counsel represent federal, state or local government entities in bringing enforcement actions they lack the resources to bring on their own (8:45). Stutz and Kades then discuss strategic complexities and possible "force multipliers" when private counsel represent a governmental agency (11:31), including with respect to bringing cases where the agency's main priority is to develop antitrust doctrine or to shift risk when high-reward cases require large upfront resource commitments (13:33). They also discuss federal claims under Section 4A of the Clayton Act, which allows the government to recover treble damages in its capacity as an injured purchaser, and why such claims may be under-utilized (16:10).    The conversation then shifts to merger enforcement, with a focus on the role of states and private plaintiffs (20:22).  Among other things, Kades identifies categories of mergers where states may have an added advantage in merger enforcement (25:14).  He also discusses how policy preferences and subject-matter emphases at the federal level can spur state and private enforcers to fill gaps in federal attention, though he cautions against trying to deduce policy preferences and attention levels solely from counting statistics (29:48). The conversation concludes with a discussion of allegations that federal enforcement has become "politicized" during the Biden and Trump administrations, and the role of the states in diffusing certain criticisms (33:13).

Why do governments rely on coercion and punishment when voluntary cooperation often produces better, more sustainable outcomes?Episode SummaryOn this episode, I'm joined once again by Professor Yuval Feldman, who returns to explore the core question behind his latest book: Can The Public Be Trusted? Instead of asking how much we trust our governments, Yuval flips the script, asking how much governments trust us, and whether that trust is deserved. Together, we dive into the concept of voluntary compliance, where people follow rules not because they're forced to, but because they believe in doing the right thing. We unpack the complexity of this idea through real-world examples, from tax compliance to environmental policy to COVID-19 interventions. Yuval explains why people who think they're ethical can actually be the hardest to regulate, and how misplaced trust can lead to serious regulatory blind spots. We also explore the psychological tension between intrinsic motivation and external enforcement, and why regulators often default to command-and-control, even when trust might offer a better solution. As ever, Yuval makes nuanced, sophisticated ideas feel accessible and immediately relevant. You'll hear about the role of culture, the limits of nudging, why economists might (sometimes!) actually be right about human behaviour and how AI might help policymakers make better decisions. Guest BioProfessor Yuval Feldman is a legal scholar and behavioural scientist at Bar-Ilan University in Israel.

Anu Talus was elected Chair of the European Data Protection Board in May of 2023. The EDPB, which was established in 2018, ensures that the EU General Data Protection Regulation and Data Protection Law Enforcement Directive are consistently applied in the EU. It also provides general GDPR guidance, adopts findings to ensure the GDPR is implemented consistently across member nations, advises the European Commission on data protection matters, and encourages DPAs to work together.    In other words, leading the EDPB is no small task, especially in an increasingly complex digital marketplace during the dawn of the AI Era. While here in Brussels, IAPP Editorial Director Jedidiah Bracy sat down with Chair Talus during an especially significant week in EU data protection on the eve of the release of the EU's Digital Omnibus package, which proposes to amend parts of the GDPR and other EU digital regulations.    In this wide-ranging conversation, Bracy and Talus discuss the EDPB's priorities and work in these transformative times.

In this week's episode, host Daniel Raimi talks with Neha Khanna and Ruohao Zhang about how government shutdowns prevent active air-pollution monitoring—and end up leading to more air pollution from coal-fired power plants while monitoring is on hiatus. Professor Khanna from Binghamton University and Assistant Professor Zhang from Pennsylvania State University published a related study, with another coauthor, examining the impact of the 2018–2019 government shutdown on pollution emissions from federally regulated coal-fired power plants. The authors found that the hiatus on pollution monitoring by federal employees, who were furloughed during the shutdown, led to an increase in the types of pollutants that required manual regulation at power plants. In this podcast episode, Khanna and Zhang reflect on how these findings may likewise inform how pollution rates may have changed during the government shutdown that ended just last week.
