Why Garland Appointing a Special Counsel Likely Benefits Donald Trump:     At first glance, the move may seem like bad news for the former president. But actually, it is the best that Trump could have hoped for—and is in fact possibly the pay off he was looking for.  “Based on recent developments, including the former president’s announcement that he is a candidate for president in the next election, and the sitting president’s stated intention to be a candidate as well, I have concluded that it is in the public interest to appoint a special counsel,” Garland said.

Oklahoma’s “Child Abuse” Law Doesn’t Protect Children, It Criminalizes Mothers: Instead of protecting children, an Oklahoma law incarcerates mothers for being victims of violence or poverty.

How cancer cells can become immortal, new research finds a mutated gene that helps melanoma defeat the normal limits on repeated replication. One enzyme plays a key role in how tumor cells replicate and divide indefinitely. Identifying the genes that give these cells their immortality could provide new drug targets to treat cancer. A defining characteristic of cancer cells is their immortality. Usually, normal cells are limited in the number of times they can divide before they stop growing. Cancer cells, however, can overcome this limitation to form tumors and bypass “mortality” by continuing to replicate.

The Story of Baby O: Rebecca Nagle on the Supreme Court Case That Could Gut Native Sovereignty: Baby O’s case is at the center of a lawsuit to bring down the Indian Child Welfare Act. But far from proving ICWA should be overturned, it shows why the law is necessary. Octavia’s paternal grandmother was a citizen of the Ysleta del Sur Pueblo, a federally recognized tribe in El Paso, Tex. This meant Octavia was eligible for citizenship in the tribe and that her case would likely fall under a 1978 federal law known as the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA), which was created to prevent family separation in Native communities. Among other things, the law gave Octavia’s tribe the right to intervene in her case and required social workers to prioritize placing Octavia with extended family or another member of her tribe.

31 Kids Found Working Graveyard Shifts on Meat Plant ‘Kill Floors,’ Feds Say: In a complaint filed Wednesday that reads straight out the Great Depression, the feds requested a temporary injunction on a massive sanitation company that’s accused of employing children as young as 13 in “dangerous” overnight shifts at food processing plants. At least two of the child workers suffered caustic chemical burns and other injuries while working on the “kill floor”—where cattle are butchered—at a plant operated by JBS Foods in Grand Island, Nebraska, the complaint said.

How Donald Trump Sabotaged the Republican Midterms: After three straight national tallies in which either he or his party or both were hammered by the national electorate, it’s time for even his stans to accept the truth: Toxic Trump is the political equivalent of a can of Raid. Liberal fundraisers actually put money behind Trump-endorsed candidates in GOP primaries all over the place to help them prevail so that Democrats could face them in the general election. It was transparently cynical and an abuse of our political process. But it worked like gangbusters.

Some U.S. cities want to change how police respond to 911 calls: Sparked by the murder of George Floyd in June 2020 by Minneapolis Police officers, some cities are working to find ways to have less civilian interaction with their police departments. David Muhammad, executive director of The National Institute for Criminal Justice Reform, has been at the forefront of this reassessment and to review their emergency calls. He estimates that between 40% to 60% of 911 calls don’t require a police response. “We don’t need an armed officer to respond to a noise complaint call,” Muhammad told The Center Square.
Muhammad said that, generally, police agree with that.
