A coalition of Catholic religious orders and healthcare providers is suing New York to block an assisted suicide law they say forces nuns to counsel dying patients about ending their lives, and the Department of Justice just signaled it's paying attention. The lawsuit, filed by the religious liberty law firm Becket on behalf of more than a dozen Catholic plaintiffs, targets New York's Medical Aid in Dying Act before it takes effect on August 5, 2026. The plaintiffs include four religious orders, the Carmelite Sisters for the Aged and Infirm, the Dominican Sisters of Hawthorne, the Missionary Sisters of St. Benedict, the Little Sisters of the Poor, along with the Diocese of Rockville Centre, Bishop John Barres, and Catholic Health, which…Open

The full text of the first ransom note sent to the family of 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie after her abduction from her Tucson home has been publicly disclosed for the first time, and the FBI has since concluded none of the ransom demands were genuine. Arizona journalist Briana Whitney, reporting for the Crime Junkie podcast, read the note word for word during a special episode marking six months since Guthrie, the mother of NBC "Today" show host Savannah Guthrie, vanished from her $1 million Tucson, Arizona, home in the early hours of February 1, 2026. The note, sent to the family days after the abduction, opened with a line addressed directly to Savannah Guthrie and closed with a death threat tied to a hard deadline. The case has drawn…Open

New tariffs of 10% to 12.5% took effect on imports from 60 countries overnight, replacing emergency duties the Supreme Court invalidated five months ago, and projections say the levies could generate nearly $1 trillion over the next decade. U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer announced the duties on July 23, capping a months-long investigation into whether trading partners had failed to ban or enforce bans on goods produced with forced labor. The tariffs, imposed under Section 301 of the 1974 Trade Act, went live at 12:01 a.m. July 24, the same moment a temporary 10% global tariff expired. The timing was deliberate: the administration built a legal bridge from one tariff regime to the next without leaving a single day uncovered. The…Open
A small-town Utah mayor who used her legal authority to let residents light fireworks over the Fourth of July weekend, while wildfires burned hundreds of thousands of acres across the state, says she was doxxed, threatened, and called "the most horrible, disgusting person" by strangers statewide.

Governor […] The post Utah mayor allows Fourth of July fireworks despite statewide ban, then faces threats and doxxing appeared first on American Almanac .
A small-town Utah mayor who used her legal authority to let residents light fireworks over the Fourth of July weekend, while wildfires burned hundreds of thousands of acres across the state, says she was doxxed, threatened, and called "the most horrible, disgusting person" by strangers statewide. Clinton Mayor Marie Dougherty made a straightforward call. Governor Spencer Cox had issued an executive order imposing a temporary statewide fireworks ban ahead of Independence Day, citing extreme drought and wildfire conditions. But the order included a provision allowing local leaders to designate safe areas within their jurisdictions. Dougherty consulted her fire chief, reviewed local conditions, and concluded that most of Clinton, a suburban…Open
A former convict in Baltimore turned his frustration with Maryland's squatter-friendly laws into a thriving removal business, boarding up doors, deploying smoke bombs, and charging property owners $2,000 a job to do what police won't.

A former convict in Baltimore turned his frustration with Maryland's squatter-friendly laws into a thriving removal business, boarding up doors, deploying smoke bombs, and charging property owners $2,000 a job to do what police won't. Sanchez Deandre Lewis, who goes by "Mikey," runs a crew he calls "the Wolf Pack" under the banner of his company, Squatter King Removal. His methods are blunt: board up windows and entrances, pull doors off hinges, remove locks, and apply relentless pressure until unauthorized occupants leave voluntarily. He also keeps smoke bombs and bear spray on hand as what he calls defensive measures. The Daily Mail profiled Lewis and his operation, detailing tactics that have drawn a growing social media following and…Open

Harvard University filed court documents this week pointing to a self-described "counter-Zionist" professor, a student journal tied to Palestinian liberation and erotic poetry, and a Jewish ecology course taught by a rabbi who has accused Israel of genocide, all as evidence the school is making progress against antisemitism on campus. The filings landed in two federal cases at once: an appellate fight before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit and a parallel district court case in Massachusetts, where the Trump administration is challenging Harvard over billions of dollars in federal research funding. Harvard's own legal team, ten outside lawyers led by former Bush administration solicitor general Paul Clement, told the First…Open
