Justice Clarence Thomas' latest dissent mocked and criticized by legal experts
The Supreme Court rejected Florida's attempt to sue California and Washington for issuing commercial truck driver's licenses to undocumented immigrants. The lawsuit followed a fatal 2024 crash in Florida involving an undocumented immigrant. While the majority declined to hear the case without comment, Justice Clarence Thomas wrote a dissent joined by Justice Samuel Alito arguing the Court should have accepted it. Thomas's argued Florida had grounds to declare war on California if they weren't part of the same country, which sparked widespread ridicule from legal experts. "Thomas's premise here is flagrant nonsense; that California approving CDLs for people with temporary work authorization but not full legal status is the same as "sending dangerous people into another [state]," wrote Aaron Reichlin-Melnick, senior fellow at the American Immigration Council. "'Mongolia declared war on Uganda today, after Uganda allowed non-citizens to obtain licenses to drive on Ugandan streets,' would be the equivalent, which of course makes no sense at all," argued law professor Joe Dunman of the University of Louisville, drawing a satirical comparison.Georgetown professor Steve Vladeck noted the dissent may actually undermine arguments for mandatory Court review of state-versus-state disputes. Legal scholars questioned the reasoning's logic and coherence.Watch the video below. Your browser does not support the video tag.

GOP lawmaker delivers a brutal snub of her Trump-backed ex-husband: report
Even though a Texas GOP candidate has the president's support, he doesn't have an official endorsement from his wife, according to a new report. Texas state Sen. Angela Paxton, a Republican, shared her list of endorsements on Tuesday, and her husband, Republican Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, noticeably did not make the cut, according to reporting by The Hill. Trump backed Ken Paxton for the GOP primary, favoring him over Sen. John Cornyn just a week before the election. GOP lawmakers have shaken their heads and rebuffed the endorsement, which caught them off guard. According to The Hill, Angela Paxton "remained neutral" in the Texas GOP Senate primary and didn't endorse Cornyn either. However, she did announce her support for Mayes Middleton, a state senator who's running to replace her husband as the Texas AG. Meanwhile, The Hill noted that the Paxtons' marriage is "estranged," as Angela Paxton filed for divorce from Ken last year, citing "biblical grounds." “I believe marriage is a sacred covenant and I have earnestly pursued reconciliation,” Angela Paxton wrote on X. “But in light of recent discoveries, I do not believe that it honors God or is loving to myself, my children, or Ken to remain in the marriage.”

Major red flag at Trump medical visit suggests it was far from routine: onlooker
President Donald Trump emerged from his surprise medical visit to Walter Reed Medical Center Tuesday bragging of "perfect" health — but onlookers weren't so sure.Top of the concerns was the length of time the president spent at the medical facility — a duration some said did not suggest a routine visit.Trump posted an optimistic message on his Truth Social platform following his appointment, the third in a year."Just finished my 6-month physical at Walter Reed Military Medical Center. Everything checked out PERFECTLY. Thank you to the great Doctors and Staff! Heading back to the White House," Trump wrote. But that didn't stop political and media experts from questioning the president's health status."At this point I’m convinced Trump approaches presidential health updates the same way he approaches golf scores, election maps, and crowd sizes: not merely healthy… the healthiest anyone has ever been in the history of health," Brian Allen, podcast host and a political commentator with more than 301,000 followers, wrote on X."Trump says he has completed his 'physical' at his 3rd hospital visit in 13 months and 'everything checked out PERFECTLY.' If you believe this, I’ve got a bridge to sell you," Democratic influencer Harry Sisson, who has more than 390,000 followers, wrote on X."Here is Trump’s schedule today, including a visit to Walter Reed for most of the day. Color me skeptical - a routine physical doesn’t last more than half the day. This should be a top story, imagine if it were Biden!" Author and activist Amy Siskind, who has more than 440,000 followers, wrote on X."President Trump just arrived back at the White House after having a visit to Walter Reed Medical Center. I wonder what they will find this time, and what excuses Trump and his doctors will make," Ed Krassenstein, liberal commentator with more than 1 million followers, wrote on X.Here is Trump’s schedule today, including a visit to Walter Reed for most of the day.
