A limited-government advocate in Texas persuaded five small towns to incorporate as “liberty cities,” which feature lean governments, little to no taxation and scant regulation. At least two of them struggle to provide basic services. https://www.propublica.org/article/art-martinez-de-vara-dallas-hero-lawsuit?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=mastodon-post #News #Texas #Dallas #Police #Law #Government #USPolitics

The decision centers on #tariffs imposed under an “emergency” powers #law, including the sweeping “reciprocal” #tariffs he levied on nearly every other country on earth. It’s the first major piece of Trump’s broad agenda to come squarely before the nation’s highest court, which he helped shape with the appointments of 3 conservative jurists in his first term. #law #economy #geopolitics #Trump #SCOTUS #affordability #inflation #CostOfLiving

#Trump has been very vocal about the case, calling it one of the most important in #US #history & saying a ruling against him would be an economic body blow to the country. But #legal opposition crossed the political spectrum, including #libertarian & pro-#business groups that are typically aligned with the #GOP. Polling has found tariffs are NOT broadly popular with the public, amid wider voter concern about #affordability. #law #economy #geopolitics #SCOTUS #inflation #CostOfLiving

Critics claim large solar farms are a public health threat. Despite little reputable evidence for this, their fears have helped undercut efforts across the U.S. to broaden energy sources, slowing installations even as customer costs are rising. https://www.propublica.org/article/michigan-solar-farms-health-concerns-st-clair-county?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=mastodon-post #News #Solar #Energy #Health #Michigan #Local #Law #PublicHealth

In Trump tantrum of the hour news… #Trump Threatens to Fire Powell if He Does Not Resign From #Fed Although #JeromePowell’s term as the #FederalReserve chair officially ends on May 15, he can stay on as a governor until 2028 & said he would not leave until a criminal investigation was over. #law #economy #independence #RevengePolitics #AbuseOfPower #authoritarianism #USpol https://www.nytimes.com/2026/04/15/business/trump-powell-fed-fire.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share

…Both the #law & past precedent establish that #JeromePowell can serve on a temporary basis until Trump’s pick to replace him, Kevin M. Warsh, is confirmed by the #Senate…. The process to confirm Warsh has been complicated by #DOJ’s investigation into Powell & his handling of renovations at the Fed’s headquarters. #Trump claimed in a Fox Business interview that aired Wednesday that the investigation was not just about the $2.5B project but also about Powell’s “incompetence.” #economy

The secretive network offers a glimpse into just how central one of the world’s richest men, who has a net worth of more than $650 billion, has made #Texas to his operations & ambitions. More than 50 of his at least 90 companies there are subsidiaries or other entities affiliated with his #business #empire, such as the rocket company #SpaceX & the electric vehicle maker #Tesla, as well as his nonprofit #Musk Foundation. #law #fraud #elite #impunity #money #power

#DrKing articulated a philosophy that would guide the entire Civil Rights Movement: #Justice and #love are not opposites but partners. He told the assembled crowd, “It is not enough for us to talk about love … There is another side called justice. And justice is really love in calculation.” #law #vote #election2026 #2026election #NoKings

tl;dr: Invasion of privacy by camera. Porch to porch is very close on my street. It's very unnerving that my neighbor across the street has one of those motion detecting cameras on its porch and every time there is significant movement at my desk, it detects me and the spotlight, which is a joke, comes on and it records me for so long. Lort knows what data it is sending to lort knows where. I know a lot of them have AI detection built in. I shouldn't have to completely black out my windows to have some basic #privacy in my home, at my desk. Even when I close the blinds it detects shadows. There should be a law or regulation that mandates and gives a right to a neighbor to enforce a neighbor with a camera to setup blind zones. #law Just think if a next door neighbor in those close subdivisions that share a fence sets up a backyard camera on its roof eaves. You have zero privacy behind your 6 to 8 foot fence.

Senior Judge Paul Friedman of the US District Court for the DC said Thursday that the #Trump admin’s decision to remove credentialed #reporters from the #Pentagon in response to his ruling striking down a prior #press policy “flouts the Court’s explicit directives & disregards the constitutional principles at the heart” of his March order. #Hegseth #law #Constitution #FirstAmendment #FreePress #FreeSpeech #journalism #FourthEstate
