The decision was issued by conservative Justice Brett Kavanaugh, who handles emergency cases rising from parts of the Midwest. Kavanaugh did not refer the case to the full court, a signal that he didn’t think the emergency appeal was significant enough to do so. He also did not explain his reasoning, and there were no dissents.

Germany fights Gaza genocide claims at the top UN court
Germany told the United Nations’ top court on Monday that a genocide case over weapons sales to Israel was improperly filed by Nicaragua and should be thrown out.
The Central American country accuses Berlin of violating the Genocide Convention and international humanitarian law by “facilitating” acts of genocide in Gaza by providing arms and other military support to Israel.
Are Those Texts Even Real? | Candace Owens x Ana Kasparian
(Auvust 24, 2026)
Barely talked about politics. Never mentioned Charlie Kirk. Never discussed LGBTQ issues. That‘s the sworn testimony of the person closest to Tyler Robinson — and then came a text message confession detailing everything. Candace Owens and Ana Kasparian go through the motive nobody ever heard him discuss, the discovery requests the defense never received, and the confession that still hasn‘t been authenticated.
Alleged Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson‘s roommate and lover received limited immunity: prosecutors
(June 17, 2026)
Lance Twiggs, the transgender roommate and romantic partner of Charlie Kirk’s alleged assassin Tyler Robinson, was given limited immunity for a recorded statement he gave to authorities in April, according to a new court filing.
Prosecutors said in a filing on Tuesday that Twiggs was given „use-immunity“ for a statement that he offered to authorities on April 20. Prosecutors want to use Twiggs‘ recorded statement and his communications with Robinson around the time of Kirk‘s killing at the July preliminary hearing.
Judge to rule Tuesday on whether Tyler Robinson stands trial in Kirk killing
The filing notes Robinson confessed to killing Kirk to several people, including his roommate and friends, with DNA testing, surveillance video and eyewitness testimony backing up the remaining elements of the charges.
Prosecutors also allege Robinson tried to obstruct the investigation by hiding the rifle in bushes, discarding clothing he wore during the shooting, and later trying to recover the weapon, and that he told his roommate, Lance Twiggs, to delete incriminating texts and avoid investigators.
Staat gegen Linke: Urteil vor dem Urteil
Der in Leipzig lebende Autor war seit November 2023 außerdem in der Bewachung etwa von Geflüchtetenunterkünften tätig. Wie aus dem Gerichtsbeschluss hervorgeht, ersuchte die Stadt Leipzig den sächsischen Verfassungsschutz noch im selben Monat um Kenntnisse zu Merten. Die hatte der Inlandsgeheimdienst freilich parat: Merten sei im Bundesvorstand der SDAJ für Bildungsaufgaben zuständig gewesen, sei zudem für die »linksextremistische« Tageszeitung junge Welt sowie für die Wochenzeitung Unsere Zeit tätig gewesen.
Nicaragua vs. Deutschland: Anhörung zu Genozid-Unterstützung beginnt im September am IGH
Vom 7. bis 10. September richten sich die Augen der Weltöffentlichkeit auf den Internationalen Gerichtshof, der im Fall „Nicaragua vs. Deutschland“ verhandelt – eine juristische Auseinandersetzung, die Deutschlands Waffenlieferungen und Unterstützung für Israel sowie die Aussetzung der UNRWA-Finanzierung in den Fokus der internationalen Verantwortung rückt. „Nicaragua gegen Deutschland“ könnte den Beginn markieren, um auch andere Staaten, die Israel während des Genozids in Gaza unterstützt haben, zur Rechenschaft zu ziehen.
NEW Footage: Is That REALLY Tyler Robinson?
Aug 21, 2026
The aspect ratio was altered. The proportions are visibly off. And the compilation came from the prosecution, not the court. Candace Owens shows footage from September 10th without edits, in slow motion, and asks the only question that matters — is that really Tyler Robinson?
Prosecutor‘s Distorted Surveillance Footage of „Tyler Robinson“ in Parking
(August 11, 2026)
This morning a friend sent me news reports of the underground parking garage surveillance footage of a young man that prosecutors claim is Tyler Robinson, arriving at Utah Valley University on the morning Charlie Kirk was shot.
Prosecutors claim the young man in this footage then left this garage around 11 a.m., then returned a short time later wearing pants, a black top and Converse shoes.
Charlie Kirk was targeted for his politics, prosecutors say bullet engraving shows
(August 19, 2026)
Prosecutors in Charlie Kirk‘s killing pointed Tuesday to an engraved bullet, arguing that the inscription „Hey Facist! CATCH!“ demonstrates that Kirk was targeted for how the defendant perceived his politics.
Whether defendant Tyler Robinson acted out of political animus could be key for prosecutors seeking the death penalty — or for his attorneys in taking that punishment off the table.
Today In Dystopia: “We Have Cameras Everywhere In That Town”
Reason shared a police body cam video of a cop confidently handing a court summons to a woman for package theft, telling her and her husband that it was “100 percent” certain she was guilty because Flock surveillance had her on camera committing the crime.
“We have cameras everywhere in that town; you can’t get a breath of fresh air in or out without us knowing,” the officer asserts on camera, saying “It is her, it is 100 percent, it is locked in, there is zero doubt; I wouldn’t have come here unless I was 100 percent sure.”
If that wasn’t Orwellian enough for you, Reason reports that the woman was only able to exonerate herself by providing police with “her cellphone tracking data, camera footage from her truck, and video placing her elsewhere at the time of the theft.” In other words, she was only saved from wrongful conviction based on faulty mass surveillance by providing correct information from other forms of mass surveillance.
Bei Polizeieinsatz erschossen: Tatverdächtiger des CSD-Anschlags ist tot
Eine Bestätigung der Behörden gibt es bislang nicht. Die Bundesanwaltschaft bestätigte lediglich, dass eine Person tot ist. Ob es sich dabei um Abdul B. handelt, wollte die Behörde nicht sagen. Die Nachrichtenagentur dpa bestätigte unter Berufung auf die Senatsinnenverwaltung, dass der Tatverdächtiger getötet wurde.
Trump’s DOJ says it will withdraw subpoenas targeting NY Times reporters
The Justice Department opened a leak investigation and took aggressive steps to identify the officials who spoke with The Times. Some officials were asked to turn over their cell phones at the White House, sources familiar with the matter told CNN.
Some of the subpoenas — which are court orders compelling a person to testify — were delivered by FBI agents at the reporters’ homes.
The Times publicized the legal threat right away and aggressively fought back, calling the subpoenas a “bad faith effort to harass and intimidate” the news media.
The Justice Department said it was not targeting the reporters; it was pursuing the leakers of classified information.
Trump Administration Vows to Dismantle the International Criminal Court
(July 14, 2026)
The ICC was established by a 2002 treaty to investigate and prosecute war crimes, genocide, and crimes against humanity when a member of the treaty is unable or unwilling to prosecute the crimes on its own. The U.S. signed but never ratified the Rome Statute, and the ICC has never opened an investigation into alleged crimes committed on U.S. territory.
The court has, however, taken actions against President Donald Trump’s ally, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. It has also opened investigations into American actions overseas, including alleged war crimes committed by U.S. personnel in Afghanistan. Some human rights organizations and legal experts have also argued that U.S. strikes on vessels in the Caribbean and Pacific and the U.S. abduction of former Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro could fall within the ICC’s jurisdiction, as Venezuela is a party to the Rome Statute. The ICC has not opened a formal investigation into the U.S. conduct.
State Department Launches Campaign to Dismantle International Criminal Court’s Threat to American Sovereignty
(July 13, 2026)
Actions under consideration include:
– Diplomatic calls from the Secretary of State, Deputy Secretary, ambassadors, and other members of senior leadership to foreign nations highlighting the abuses of the ICC and the risks posed to Americans and other nations urging them to withdraw from the ICC
– Nations that partner with American law enforcement and the U.S. military or that enjoy the benefits of the U.S. security umbrella are called upon to reject the ICC’s purported authority to prosecute American officials and servicemen
– Increased scrutiny of nations that refuse to reject the ICC’s false authority while relying on U.S. assistance
– Diplomatic calls urging other nations that, like America, that are not party to the Rome Statute to leverage their diplomatic networks to take similar actions alongside us
– Visa revocations and travel bans for ICC personnel
– Increased sanctions against the ICC and affiliated organizations
DER MOLOCH (II): Direktive, Direktive über alles? Das Urteil aus Karlsruhe
(March 3, 2010)
Aus Brüssel heraus vollzieht sich die epochale Transformation von Staatsgebilden eines Kontinents zu einer sich selbst begründenden Plutokratie, in einer wunderbaren Welt der Supranationalisten. Über einen Baustein in diesem epischen, imperialen Konstrukt, entschied gestern nun das Bundesverfassungsgericht in Karlsruhe. Es entschied, dass die „Vorratsdatenspeicherung“, die flächendeckende, anlasslose Telekommunikationsüberwachung der Bevölkerung, vereinbar sei mit dem Grundgesetz. So umging das oberste Gremium der Republik einen offiziellen Staatsstreich: die Aufhebung des Grundgesetzes als Verfassung und dessen Unterordnung unter „europäisches Recht“, mithin die Erklärung der Bundesrepublik als Bundesstaat der „Europäischen Union“.
Supreme Court rejects Trump‘s attempt to fire Fed‘s Lisa Cook as legal battle continues
Chief Justice John Roberts wrote the opinion for the majority, joined by Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, Brett Kavanaugh and Ketanji Brown Jackson.
To accept the government‘s arguments that Mr. Trump can fire Cook „would in effect transform the Federal Reserve‘s for-cause protection into at-will employment — an interpretive leap out of step with the statute Congress enacted and our Nation‘s tradition of central banking protected from political interference,“ the chief justice wrote.
The court‘s decision is narrow and declines to define what constitutes „cause“ under the federal law that created the Fed. It said such a definition must reflect the central bank‘s „unique historical status and role.“
Supreme Court rules states can accept mail ballots after Election Day
Justice Amy Coney Barrett said it doesn’t conflict with federal law, which sets “the Tuesday next after the 1st Monday in November” as the “day for the election.”
“The election-day statutes say nothing about ballot receipt, and we cannot add to the words Congress chose,” Barrett wrote.
She and Chief Justice John Roberts joined the court’s three liberal justices in the majority. The court’s four other conservative justices dissented.
Supreme Court rejects Trump‘s appeal of 2022 E. Jean Carroll defamation case
The Supreme Court has denied President Donald Trump‘s appeal of the $5 million jury finding in the 2022 defamation case brought against him by the writer E. Jean Carroll.
The denial means the judgment against Trump stands and that he will have to pay it.
Supreme Court won‘t hear Trump‘s appeal of E. Jean Carroll sexual abuse case
The writer E. Jean Carroll triumphed over President Trump on Monday when the Supreme Court refused to consider overturning a jury‘s verdict that he was liable for sexually abusing and defaming her.
The unanimous federal jury found that a preponderance of evidence supported Carroll‘s claim that Mr. Trump sexually abused her during a mid-1990s encounter in a New York City department store. Mr. Trump did not attend the 2023 civil trial, and his attorneys called no witnesses before the jury awarded Carroll $5 million.
What a UK court’s backing of the Palestine Action ‘terror’ ban means
How has Palestine Action responded to the ruling?
In a statement read by a representative following the ruling, Palestine Action’s Ammori said the group will challenge the judgement in the UK’s Supreme Court.
“We will fight this all the way. We will seek permission to appeal to the Supreme Court and, if need be, take this to the European Court of Human Rights,” Ammori said.
The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR), established by the Council of Europe, allows individuals to hold member states accountable for rights violations through a dedicated court. When the ECHR finds a violation, its judgements are legally binding on the state concerned under the European Convention on Human Rights.
“We will not stop fighting to overturn one of the most extreme attacks on free speech and the right to protest in modern British history,” Ammori added.
“This unprecedented abuse of power has devastated the lives of thousands of people while silencing dissent over Israel’s slaughter of the Palestinian people during the genocide, when that dissent could not be more urgent.”
Palestine Action ban is lawful, Court of Appeal rules
(today)
The government‘s proscription of Palestine Action as a terror organisation is lawful, the Court of Appeal has ruled.
In one of the most significant rulings on national security in recent years, five of the most senior judges in the country overturned an earlier decision from the High Court that the ban had breached the right to protest and had been incorrectly taken by ministers.
But five Court of Appeal judges concluded in a hearing on Monday that the ban had been „justified and proportionate“.
Pro-Palestine activists sentenced as terrorists over damage at Israeli arms factory in UK
(June 12, 2026)
A report relied on by the prosecution at Friday’s sentencing hearing said the raid on the factory had caused £1.2m of damage, including to 41 military assets. The report referred to £395,056 of damage to six units in an unnamed drone system as well as damage to other unmanned aerial vehicles.
Mr Justice Johnson told the four they had participated in a “carefully planned and highly sophisticated attack”, adding: “The fact that you were trying to shut down a company that you thought was acting unlawfully does not reduce the seriousness of the offence.”
McIver Speaks out Against Unlawful Abuse Against Protestors and Detainees at Delaney
(May 28, 2026)
“I’m hearing from advocates and families on the ground reports of ICE pepper spraying and beating detainees inside Delaney Hall. I have seen the horrific conditions and spoken to those inside about the disgusting food, lack of medical care, and violent and unsanitary conditions as recently as this week. With demoted former USCBP Commander Greg Bovino’s announcement that he is coming to Newark today and his threats online to tear gas our community, I have even more concern that he will only escalate the chaos at Delaney,” said McIver. “More ICE violence has never made a situation safer. The only solution to stop the abuse at Delaney Hall and quell this terror nationwide is to shut down the facility and abolish ICE. We will keep standing up to this administration’s terror campaign and we will keep fighting for justice.”
On Monday, McIver made her fourth visit to Delaney Hall. The chaos created by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) during McIver’s first visit to Delaney Hall, led to the Trump administration bringing baseless charges against her for conducting oversight. Her second visit came on the heels of the death of Jean Wilson Brutus in ICE custody. Her third visit was following the release of the S.O.S. letter signed by 300 detainees.
Rep. LaMonica McIver charged with assault after Newark mayor’s arrest outside ICE facility
(May 19, 2025)
In a clip released by the Department of Homeland Security, McIver can be seen on the facility side of a chain-link fence before crossing through the gate and joining a crowd shouting „surround the mayor.“ Video shows McIver pressing forward in the crowd, with her elbows making contact with a federal officer.
Homeland Security said the charge followed a „thorough review“ of the footage and an investigation by Homeland Security Investigations.
Court blocks Alabama congressional map, saying state intentionally discriminated by race
The panel of three judges instead ordered Alabama to continue using a court-selected map that includes two majority-Black districts. Those congressional district lines were used in the 2024 elections.
In their decision, the judges found that the redistricting plan adopted by Alabama‘s GOP-led legislature in 2023, which state officials sought to reimplement for this year‘s House contests, intentionally discriminated on the basis of race, in violation of the Constitution‘s 14th Amendment.
Vor Zwischenwahlen in den USA: Doppel-Niederlage für Trump im Streit um Wahlkreiszuschnitte
US-Präsident Trump hat im Streit um Wahlkreiszuschnitte, die seine Republikaner begünstigen, Niederlagen erlitten. In South Carolina blockierten demokratische und republikanische Senatoren eine neue Wahlkreisaufteilung. In Alabama stoppte ein Gericht eine Neuordnung.
US removes sanctions on UN Palestinian rights expert after judge cites free speech
The Trump administration imposed the sanctions after accusing Albanese of “biased and malicious activities” and “lawfare,” including recommending that the International Criminal Court issue arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former defence minister, Yoav Gallant.
“It is undisputed that her recommendations have no binding effect on the ICC’s actions – they are nothing more than her opinion,” Leon said in his decision.
US federal judge blocks sanctions against UN expert on Palestine
(May 15, 2026)
Judge Leon made preliminary findings that President Donald Trump’s administration likely violated Albanese’s right to free speech by imposing sanctions against her. In his 26-page decision, he discussed the applicability of the First Amendment to Albanese, including an extensive discussion of the significance of free expression. He wrote:
Albanese has done nothing more than speak! It is undisputed that her recommendations have no binding effect on the ICC’s actions–they are nothing more than her opinion… Finally, protecting the freedom of speech is “always” in the public interest… Indeed, the “proudest boast” of our First Amendment is that it protects the freedom to express even “the thought that we hate.” Enough said.
