The Department of Justice has issued an opinion to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (“EEOC”) that its guidelines about disparate-impact liability under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act are unconstitutional. The Office of Legal Counsel found that EEOC’s guidelines pressured employers to engage in racial discrimination. "Despite trying to promote equality, EEOC's disparate impact liability interpretation under Title VII actually fosters the very discrimination its guidelines seek to address," said Acting Attorney General @DAGToddBlanche. "This opinion will now allow businesses to hire based on performance, restoring equal opportunities in the American workplace." 🔗: justice.gov/opa/pr/justice-d…

Apparently you still find out what the law requires by polling district judges. It’s “we are Church” but for the judiciary. politico.com/news/2026/06/13…

I take Cialis, but not for sex. It’s actually a longevity medicine. Cialis (Tadalafil) is great for the same reason it gives you fantastic erections… it improves blood flow. Studies show that Tadalafil… 34% reduced all-cause mortality 27% reduced major heart disease 34% reduced stroke 32% reduced dementia It has also shown benefit in insulin sensitivity, metabolic health, and reduction of body fat. Women have blood vessels too, so theoretically they'd get the same longevity upside. The research is thinner, but early signals are promising. It’s sad that when men and women could benefit from it can miss out because it’s taboo. My protocol is 5mg daily and I've been on it for about two years. *Observational research shows associations, not causation. Outcomes may be influenced by underlying differences in study populations.

I have not yet read the full trial transcript. But so far, I do know this. Karmelo Anthony was entitled to a jury of his peers. He did not get that. On that ground alone, he is entitled to a new trial. Minorities are not interchangeable. The prosecutor’s reported proffered reasons for striking all black jurors —that they were teachers—appears to be pretext. Anthony needs a new lawyer on appeal and in a new trial. His trial lawyer allowed in opinion evidence that should have been struck. He also seemed unable to appreciate and counter the impact of racial overtones in that case. Those overtones are clear even on Twitter commentary as folks seek to paint Metcalf as having no culpability in what happened and Karmelo as a complete monster. The facts on how the matter escalated are more complicated than that. He and they had no such authority. They are also apparent in the statements that seek to deputize Metcalf and other kids with authority to remove Anthony. They had none and initiated the conflict. That does not mean they should have been killed but it means they have explaining to do. The lawyer for Anthony apparently did not require that explaining. It is fair to ask how the Anthony’s ended up selecting that lawyer. The trial judge must be disqualified in any new trial if he actually gave an interview about the case before the appeal was considered. He has negatively affected the appeal rights of the defendant. He should know better. He should also be disqualified if he has any relationship with the Metcalf side. In a criminal trial, the prosecution has the burden of proof beyond a reasonable doubt. The defendant does not have to prove he is not guilty. Those rules apply to everyone. They apply to Anthony.

Not this time; this report was a lie from a third party. The clerks on whose behalf it was supposedly made are all angry about it! Two of them had complaints, but worked them out informally with the judge (their account makes her look very good--her response was a *model* one).
