“The Supreme Court rejected a long-shot effort Monday to overturn its ruling guaranteeing same-sex marriage nationwide. Former Kentucky county clerk Kim Davis directly asked the justices to overrule the 2015 landmark decision after a jury awarded damages to a couple whom Davis refused to issue a marriage license. … In a brief order, the justices declined to take up Davis’s appeal, alongside dozens of other petitions up for consideration at the justices’ weekly closed-door conference. There were no noted dissents.” (11/10/25)

“Even with the robust protections offered to us by the First Amendment and the decades of decisions made by our federal and Supreme courts, defending free speech is still difficult business. Infringements on our rights often take advantage of loopholes and gaps in our legal frameworks, leading to actions — particularly from those in power — that violate our expressive rights and chill free speech. That’s why FIRE has long championed a variety of proposals to help safeguard free expression from government attacks and abuse, including federal legislation. But what would that legislation look like?” (11/10/25)

“Russia’s Lukoil PJSC declared force majeure on oil shipments from its giant West Qurna 2 field in Iraq, according to a person with knowledge of the matter. The move is a sign that sanctions against Russia’s No. 2 oil producer are beginning to impact its international operations. The US announced penalties against the firm last month as part of President Donald Trump’s efforts to ramp up pressure on Moscow to end its war in Ukraine. Declaring force majeure gives Lukoil the right to skip contractual obligations, but it doesn’t automatically mean shipments from West Qurna 2 will halt. The company owns 75% of the field, which was pumping more than 480,000 barrels a day back in April, according to Interfax.” (11/10/25)

“Ghislaine Maxwell, the Jeffrey Epstein confidante and convicted child sex trafficker, is being waited on ‘hand and foot’ by the staff at her minimum security prison camp while she prepares a request that President Donald Trump commute her sentence, according to whistleblower revelations made public Monday by House Democrats. ‘The deference and servility to Ms. Maxwell have reached such preposterous levels that one of the top officials at the facility has complained that he is ‘sick of having to be Maxwell’s bitch,” according to a letter to Trump from Rep. Jamie Raskin of Maryland, the ranking Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee. … Raskin’s letter said Maxwell has received customized meals personally delivered to her cell, after-hours time in a private exercise area and access to a service puppy. Raskin said Maxwell was also afforded private meetings with visitors arranged by the warden, complete with snacks.” (11/10/25)

“They shuffle onto the podium, eyes glassy with rehearsed humility, and insist they’ve spent their lives *serving* you. Joe Biden, Dick Cheney, Nancy Pelosi, three names, one grift. Fifty years, sixty years, seventy years of ‘public service.’ If that phrase still leaves a taste in your mouth that isn’t bile, you haven’t been paying attention. A servant clocks in, does the work, and clocks out. A servant doesn’t die in office or get wheeled out feet-first after half a century of sucking the marrow from the national bone. These people are not servants. They are leeches, bloated, pale, and latched to the artery of the state.” (11/10/25)

“It’s no coincidence that multimillionaire Michelle Obama is on a self-pity jag as she promotes her latest expensive coffee table memoir as her husband’s Democratic Party succumbs to its socialist fringe. You see it everywhere. Democratic Marie Antoinettes moaning about their plight and the ingratitude of the serfs as the revolution devours their dominion. For the former first lady, a week of softball interviews for her new $50 tome, ‘The Look’, has been dominated by bizarre complaints about her time in the White House with President Barack Obama. She is rewriting history to claim bitterly that, as the first black first couple, ‘we didn’t get the grace that I think some other families have gotten.’ Whom does she think she’s kidding? Martians?” (11/09/25)

“President Donald Trump demanded air traffic controllers return to work today as government-directed flight cuts and air traffic staffing absences continue to wreak havoc with U.S. air travel. Trump added that he will reward those who did not take any time off during the 41-day federal government shutdown, but it is not clear how many controllers could qualify. Trump said he would welcome the resignation of those who took time off. ‘All Air Traffic Controllers must get back to work, NOW!!! Anyone who doesn’t will be substantially ‘docked,’’ …The shutdown has led to shortages of air traffic controllers who, like other federal employees, have not been paid for weeks. Officials said it is unclear under the controllers’ union contract how they could be docked or what the source of the $10,000 bonus Trump proposed.” (11/10/25)
