Major Questions Doctrine new major trouble for executive branch of government: Unvarnished and unbiased, this is what the U.S. Supreme Court did in its West Virginia v. EPA decision last month: Chief Justice John G. Roberts, Jr. and his merry band of conservative cohorts ruled against an obsolete EPA plan, repealed by the Trump Administration and rejected by the Biden Administration, to create a new but largely undefined doctrine that federal judges across the country will use to stymie all manner of federal agency rulemaking.

Yes, this is a hot-as-hell summer, but every summer going forward will be like this or worse: Europe Is Having A Heat Wave And People Are Freaking Out Because We’re Not Built For This Kind Of Weather. “This emergency — these heat waves and future weather disasters — have come about because of a system where the richest among us, like Kylie Jenner, can consume on an unimaginable scale.”

More mountain glacier collapses feared as heat waves engulf the Northern Hemisphere: Researchers spot a vast new crack on a crumbling Italian glacier that killed 11 people earlier this month, as warming temperatures and snow droughts take a toll on alpine icefields. The Marmolada Glacier in the Alps of northern Italy may crumble even more before Europe’s brutally hot summer ends. Glaciologists are tracking a new crack, about 650 feet long and more than 100 feet wide, that has appeared in a different part of the glacier

‘Proud’ Gunmaker Figures Out How to Make Massacres Worse: The assault rifle was made for the military and is already being marketed to the public. SIG Sauer’s new MCX-SPEAR fires bullets with twice the kinetic energy of those from an AR-15. That means double the horrifying force that mangled the victims of the mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas. “It’ll shoot through almost all of the bulletproof vests that are worn by law enforcement in the county right now.”

Texas political blogger Jerry McHale, who has received campaign funds from U.S. Rep. Vicente Gonzalez, D-McAllen, has spewed racist attacks toward Gonzalez’s opponent, Republican Rep. Mayra Flores. Gonzalez’s campaign has distanced itself from the attacks, claiming it did not pay McHale to unleash the racist commentary.

# Law Enforcement
In San Bernardino, California, the family of a Black man shot dead by police is calling for charges to be filed against the officers involved. On Saturday, two officers jumped out of an unmarked police car and within seconds shot 23-year-old Robert Adams in the back as he tried to run for cover. Civil rights attorney Ben Crump, who is representing the family, shared security camera footage of the shooting, which he described as a “horrific execution.”

Most legal and constitutional experts agree: Given the facts that have come to light about former President Donald Trump’s role in the mob attack on the Capitol on January 6, 2021, and the efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election, it is now plausible that he will be charged with crimes, tried and convicted.Will Trump Do Time?
