THE COURT FINISHES THE JOB
In 2013, the Supreme Court disabled the Voting Rights Act’s preclearance requirement and promised Section 2 would remain as a backstop. On April 29, 2026, a 6-3 majority finished the demolition. Louisiana v.

THE ABORTION CASE THAT IS NOT ABOUT ABORTION
A unanimous Supreme Court ruled April 29 that a New Jersey anti-abortion nonprofit can challenge a state subpoena for its donor list in federal court without waiting for state enforcement.

Why Some People Keep Making The Same Bad Decisions
New research confirms what many people feel but can’t explain: your environment is making decisions for you. Everyday sights and sounds shape choices in ways most people never consciously register. Some individuals are far more vulnerable to this influence than others. The science explains why — and why it matters beyond the individual. In December… Continue reading Why Some People Keep Making The Same Bad Decisions
The Brain Switch Scientists Keep Ignoring
Scientists discovered that stress leaves a molecular fingerprint on the brain long after the experience ends. They also found the brain has natural systems to fight back. Neither finding is getting the attention it deserves.

Las Vegas Race Riots
Stan Armstrong remembers the day a Rancho High School coach grabbed him by the shirt, threw him into an equipment room, and locked the door. Outside, police helicopters circled overhead. Students shouted. Officers screamed. Armstrong, trapped inside, could hear everything. When the noise stopped, the coach returned, walked Armstrong onto a school bus, and sent… Continue reading Las Vegas Race Riots
