The plaintiffs just withdrew the case, though their counsel reports that they plan to refile in the next two weeks with additional allegations. For now, I thought I’d post about the March opinion in the case by Judge Fernando L. Aenlle-Rocha, in Doe Jewish USC Faculty Member 2004 v. USC, which dismissed an earlier version […]
Andrew Cuomo has conceded defeat to 33-year-old progressive upstart Zohran Mamdani in New York City’s Democratic mayoral primary. With registered Democrats making up over two-thirds of the city’s electorate, Mamdani is in pole position to be the Big Apple’s next mayor, which could spell trouble for New Yorkers struggling with the city’s nation-leading cost of […]
Zohran Mamdani’s upset victory in the New York Democratic Mayoral Primary on Tuesday puts the self-proclaimed socialist one step closer to enacting his far-ranging left-wing agenda. At the top of the candidate’s list, as Reason‘s Liz Wolfe covered this morning, is his call to freeze rents on New York’s roughly one million rent-stabilized housing units. […]

Our most recent article, for instance, was submitted to us April 8. We require submissions that are exclusive to […]
From our motion for a preliminary injunction, filed today by my lawyers, Susan L. Kay, Jennifer Safstrom, and Ryan Riedmueller of the Vanderbilt Law School Stanton Foundation First Amendment Clinic: American citizens enjoy a First Amendment right of access to judicial records that state and local governments may not restrict unless the restriction withstands constitutional scrutiny.

Any moment now I am expecting John Cleese (a veteran of Monty Python) to jump out of the bushes and announce the creation of the Ministry of Silly Wars, with Donald Trump as the deranged leader. For you youngsters out there, Monty Python’s skit, The Ministry of Silly Walks, helped make the members of MP legends. I had to reference Monty […]
Interest rates may have fallen this year, if not for the uncertainty and higher costs created by President Donald Trump’s tariff schemes. Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell told a House committee on Tuesday that the central bank likely would have “continued cutting” interest rates during the first half of 2025, but decided to hold rates […]
