On July 23, the International Court of Justice issued an advisory opinion that many are regarding as a groundbreaking legal moment for the fight against climate change. But what was included in the actual opinion? What does this mean for the future of climate litigation? And most importantly, what will this mean for the future of climate action? To answer all these questions and more, we talk to Dr. Maria Antonia Tigre, the Director of Global Climate Change Litigation at the Sabin Center. She explains how this decision sets a new precedent in international law by recognizing the extensive legal obligations countries have in combating climate change. We explore how the opinion integrates customary international law, human rights, and environmental treaties, offering a robust framework for future climate cases. Dr. Maria Antonia Tigre also details the fascinating backstory of how a class project from the University of South Pacific in Vanuatu evolved into a global movement, culminating in this historic opinion. She shares insight into the legal community's reaction, the potential ripple effects on domestic and international cases, and the strengthened legal arguments that could emerge from this decision. We also explore the role science played in informing the court's decision, particularly the emphasis on the 1.5-degree threshold as a legal standard. Finally, we discuss the broader implications for fossil fuel regulation, climate reparations, and the responsibilities of both developed and developing nations. Dr. Maria Antonia Tigre is the Director of Global Climate Change Litigation at the Sabin Center. She manages the Sabin Center's Global Climate Change Litigation Database with the support of the Sabin Center's Peer Review Network of Climate Litigation. Maria Antonia is a leading expert in the field of climate change law and climate litigation, having published dozens of articles on the topic. She also co-heads the Sabin Center and GNHRE's project on Climate Litigation in the Global South.  Please consider becoming a paid subscriber to our newsletter/podcast, The Climate Weekly, to help support this show.

This Day in Legal History: First SCOTUS DecisionOn August 11, 1792, the United States Supreme Court issued its first reported decision in Georgia v. Brailsford. The case arose from the complex aftermath of the Revolutionary War, when questions about debts owed to British creditors came before the new federal judiciary. The State of Georgia had enacted laws seizing debts owed to British subjects, while the 1783 Treaty of Paris required those debts to be honored. The dispute involved a British creditor, Samuel Brailsford, seeking repayment from a Georgia resident. Georgia argued that its confiscation laws extinguished the debt, but the Court was faced with balancing state statutes against treaty obligations. In its decision, the Court reaffirmed that treaties made under the authority of the United States were binding on the states, even when they conflicted with local laws. This early opinion helped cement the principle of federal supremacy in foreign affairs and treaty enforcement. It also demonstrated the Court's willingness to decide politically sensitive disputes involving state sovereignty. The ruling, authored before the modern opinion-writing style developed, was short and straightforward, focusing narrowly on the facts and legal issue. It set an early precedent for judicial interpretation of the Constitution's Supremacy Clause. Georgia v. Brailsford thus marked the Court's entry into shaping the balance between state power and federal authority. The case also foreshadowed the judiciary's role in resolving conflicts between domestic law and international agreements. While not as well-known as later landmark cases, its legacy lies in establishing the Court as a neutral arbiter in disputes implicating both constitutional structure and international commitments.President Donald Trump is expected to nominate David Rosner, a Democrat currently serving on the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), as its next chair. The agency oversees decisions on natural gas export facilities and major power infrastructure, making it central to Trump's energy agenda. Rosner, appointed to FERC by President Joe Biden, previously worked for former Senator Joe Manchin, who was known for supporting coal and gas interests. White House officials say Rosner aligns with Trump's priorities, despite his party affiliation. FERC was a flashpoint during Trump's first term, when his appointees attempted—but failed—to push policies favoring fossil fuel power generation. Today, surging energy demand from data centers has renewed attention on expanding cheap power sources. In July, the country's largest electric grid saw record power auction revenues of $16.1 billion, highlighting the strain on supply. Rosner's promotion would follow the departure of Republican Mark Christie as chair, signaling a bipartisan leadership shift at the influential regulator.Trump to Tap Democrat to Lead US Agency Overseeing Gas, PowerA closely watched trial began today in San Francisco over President Trump's deployment of National Guard troops to assist immigration raids and manage protests in Los Angeles. California argues the move violates the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878, which limits the use of the military in civilian law enforcement. The dispute centers on Trump's June order sending 700 Marines and 4,000 National Guard members to the city after mass immigration raids sparked unrest. State officials, including Governor Gavin Newsom, claim about 2,000 Guard members are still aiding U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in raids and restricting civilian movement. The administration denies the troops engaged in law enforcement, saying they were protecting federal property and ICE personnel. The three-day, non-jury trial before U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer could set limits on Trump's authority to deploy the military in U.S. cities. California is also seeking to regain control of its National Guard from federal command. A ruling against the administration could have lasting implications for the president's power to use military forces domestically.Landmark trial kicks off over Trump's use of US military in policing role | ReutersU.S. law firms saw stronger-than-expected business in the second quarter of 2025, with overall demand rising 1.6% from the same period last year and billing rates climbing 7.4%, according to the Thomson Reuters Institute. Clients sought legal guidance on shifting tariffs, regulatory changes, and an unsteady economy, partly fueled by President Trump's trade policies. The growth was uneven—top 100 firms experienced a 0.6% drop in demand, while the next-largest 100 grew 2.6% and midsized firms rose 3.5%, suggesting clients may be opting for lower-cost or more specialized services. Practice area results also varied: litigation demand rose 2%, corporate work 1.3%, mergers and acquisitions 0.3%, while intellectual property fell 1.4%. The industry's Financial Index score hit 55, up four points from Q1, but the report warned of risks ahead as overhead costs climb, collections dip, and productivity lags 1.3% year-over-year. Unpaid bills and write-downs could create further financial pressure if trends persist. Law firms stayed busy in second quarter but uncertainty looms - report | ReutersThe U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has moved to terminate its labor contract with the union representing 8,000 of its employees, according to the union's president. The action is part of President Trump's broader push to limit collective bargaining rights across federal agencies. Trump's March executive order seeks to remove such rights at more than 30 agencies, including the EPA, and is being challenged in court by unions that argue it violates free speech and bargaining obligations. The EPA says it is acting in compliance with the order, which would make it easier for agencies to discipline or dismiss workers. The move comes as the EPA plans to reduce its workforce by at least 23% and close its scientific research office as part of broader federal downsizing. Unions, including the American Federation of Government Employees, are suing to stop the effort, but a recent federal appeals court decision allowed the administration to proceed with exempting some agencies from negotiating with unions. The union representing EPA employees has pledged a legal response.Trump's environment agency terminates contract with unionized employees | Reuters This is a public episode.

Mayoral hopeful Andrew Cuomo is proposing free subway and bus service for low-income New Yorkers. Meanwhile, a 100-year-old historic home near Staten Island's New Dorp station is on the market for only the second time in its history. A new report from State Comptroller Tom DiNapoli warns of severe doctor shortages in rural New York counties, with some lacking pediatricians, OBGYNs, and mental health providers.

On this BONUS EPISODE of CASCADE OF HISTORY, Feliks Banel speaks with Katherine Caffrey, City Manager of Des Moines, Washington, for an update on the Masonic Home of Washington and background on the recent history, including the owner's seeking of a demolition permit. The Masonic Home - which has also more recently been known as "Landmark on the Sound" - is a sprawling hotel-like complex built in the 1920s south of Seattle as a retirement home for Freemasons; that is, members of that fraternal organization. After many years of sitting empty on a prominent piece of land near Puget Sound along Marine View Drive South, it's likely that a demolition permit will be approved by the City of Des Moines later this week. The land and buildings are owned by a private developer called Zenith whose plans for the site have not been revealed.

On this BONUS EPISODE of CASCADE OF HISTORY - the second episode today devoted to the Masonic Home of Washington in Des Moines, WA - Feliks Banel speaks with Todd Scott, preservation architect for King County, for history and context; and with Lloyd Lytle, a member of the citizens' group working to prevent the facility's demolition. The Masonic Home - which is also known as "Landmark on the Sound" - is a sprawling hotel-like complex built in the 1920s south of Seattle as a retirement home for Freemasons in a park-like setting. After many years of sitting empty on a prominent piece of land near Puget Sound along Marine View Drive South, a demolition permit will likely be issued by the City of Des Moines, WA on Friday, August 8, 2025.

Josh Sigurdson reports on the Trump Administration's DOJ continuing the appeal via the EPA on the landmark fluoride ruling. In September of 2024, Judge Edward Chen ruled that fluoride poses "an unreasonable risk of reduced IQ in children" at 0.7 milligrams per literally. This was considered enough to take a practical legal response whether it be warnings or an outright ban on hydrofluosilicic acid, the bi-product of aluminum and phosphate smelting, considered officially as "toxic waste." The Biden administration cracked down and attempted to appeal the decision, pushing for fluoride to continue to poison unknowing people when they drink tap water or shower. Now, the Trump Administration is continuing the appeal process as the solicitor general who had previously claimed Trump had the "right" to assassinate political rivals and currently reports to Pam Bondi and the White House pushes for the fluoride restrictions to be thrown out. Derrick Broze who has been part of the Fluoride Action Network for many years has advocated for the removal of fluoride from tap water for some time. We interviewed him back in February of 2024 about one of the major lawsuits taking place. In this video, we read over one of his articles at The Last American Vagabond. The MAHA movement has thus far pushed MMR Measles vaccines, new Moderna mRNA vaccines for children ages 6 months to 11 years, the fast tracking of dangerous saRNA vaccines, wearable devices to track your every move and the approval of a measure to keep thr EPA from labeling pesticides. As we unfortunately predicted, the MAHA movement has been a limited hangout operation to keep people on their hands, waiting for the very criminals who have been poisoning the populace for decades to bring health justice. Currently, fluoride tablets for babies are exploding in popularity. We need to take personal action of we want to see this situation change. Stay tuned for more from WAM!

The CHIPS and Science Act is one of the landmark pieces of legislation relaunching American industrial policy. The legislation led to the creation of NSF's first new directorate in 30 years and the formation of regional innovation hubs, expanding training and workforce development opportunities nationwide. The legislation also authorized specific federal investments for STEM education and workforce development that can support the full workforce stack.   In this AAAS STPF Sci on the Fly podcast episode, current AAAS-ASGCT Congressional Policy Fellow Adriana Bankston speaks with key individuals who crafted the legislation and have worked on implementation in multiple sectors: STPF alum Dahlia Sokolov (Congress), Kei Koizumi (formerly OSTP), Travis York (AAAS) and Michael Holland (U Pitt). This podcast episode covers the legislation's journey from development to implementation, including stakeholder engagement and the role of public-private partnerships, framing the legislation in current times and what we can expect in the future.  This podcast does not necessarily reflect the views of AAAS, its Council, Board of Directors, officers, or members.

In this episode, we trace the origins of the cyberpunk classic, starting with Masamune Shirow's original manga and following the career of visionary director Mamoru Oshii up through his groundbreaking work on GHOST IN THE SHELL. We dig into the film's production process—from its innovative animation techniques to the challenges of bringing such a complex story to the screen—and look at how it was marketed ahead of release. Along the way, we explore how anime began to make waves beyond Japan's borders, and how landmark films like AKIRA helped pave the way for a global audience hungry for ambitious, adult animation.

Random Vegas July 2nd is a popular date to open a casino, just before the 4th of July weekend crowd comes in. In Vegas history, 5 properties have opened on July 2nd.  They are the Stardust which opened in 1958, International, best known as the Hilton but currently known as Westgate, opened in 1969, Plaza opened in 1971, Holiday Casino, known today as Harrah's, opened in 1972 and Sundance, known today as the D, opened in 1980. (Vegas_Visual) TwitPic of the week She may have been a dud in reality but the Landmark was still a looker, shared by@las_when. Incorrectly said to be inspired by the Jetson's cartoon home, the Landmark project was designed several years before the start of that show. Some say it was inspired by the space needle in Seattle but in truth, the two were designed around the same time so any similarities are most likely coincidental. The Landmark is another one of those properties that lives on idyllically in people's minds, a Vegas legend. News Best Lobby Bars View and Drinks Bottled Blonde

In this episode, Tara and Lee break down an unprecedented move by Donald Trump and Linda McMahon that compelled the University of Pennsylvania to ban biological males from women's sports, restore records and titles to female athletes, and issue personal apologies to those impacted by transgender competitor Leah Thomas. Tara reflects on the broader cultural significance of this reversal, calling it a rare rollback in the culture wars—something she says we've never seen before. They also discuss how Elon Musk's takeover of X has helped create a real debate about these issues, shifting public opinion and diminishing support for transgender participation in women's sports. Finally, they touch on new allegations of FBI misconduct in covering up Chinese election interference.

We're back with Part 2 of our conversation with Jane Borden, author of Cults Like Us, where we pick up right where we left off – with the Puritans, of course. Because what's more American than a doomsday cult in denial? In this half, we explore how their legacy of moral perfectionism, isolationism, and a rigid “us vs. them” worldview continues to shape American institutions, politics, and even pop psychology. Jane takes us through the cult wars of the '80s and '90s, the rise of deprogrammers and cult apologists, and the influence of Large Group Awareness Trainings (aka LGATs) like EST and Landmark on today's self-help landscape. We also dive into the concept of normative dissonance, how political architects like Newt Gingrich exploited division for power, and why bridging social gaps might be the antidote to modern-day culty chaos. Along the way, Jane reminds us why humor can be a powerful tool for understanding even the darkest parts of our culture. If you missed Part 1, hit pause and go back. We promise it's worth it!
