Supreme Court rules against Rastafarian who sued prison officials for cutting his dreadlocks

The Supreme Court on Tuesday ruled that a devout Rastafarian who attempted to sue prison officials for holding him down and cutting his dreadlocks could not proceed with his case, a decision that will make it harder for believers of other faiths to enforce federal religious protections in prison.The opinion, written by Justice Neil Gorsuch for a 6-3 court, marked a rare instance in which the conservative majority sided against a religious claim and underscored its hesitancy to let Americans sue to enforce their rights without explicit authority from Congress.“Mr. Landor would have us hold, f

Trump administration can expand fast-track deportation process, US appeals court rules

A federal appeals court cleared the way on Tuesday for the Trump administration to expand a fast-track deportation process that would allow for the expedited removal of migrants who are living far from the border.A panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit ruled 2-1 to overturn a decision by a judge who in August 2025 blocked the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's move to expand who qualifies for expedited removal.That expedited removal process has for nearly three decades been used to quickly return migrants apprehended at the border. But in January 2025, th

New York Mayor Mamdani endorsements test Democrats' appetite for far-left candidates

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani's push to remake the Democratic Party into a democratic socialist powerhouse faces a primary election test on Tuesday. But win or lose, it is unlikely to provide an effective blueprint for Democrats taking control of the U.S. Congress in November or the White House in 2028.The mayor, who shocked the political world with his 2025 election, is backing a slate of fellow democratic socialist candidates running in Tuesday's New York primaries as they take on establishment Democrats, including one senior Latino in the U.S. House of Representatives.This comes on th

US Supreme Court won't let Rastafarian man shaved bald in prison sue guards

The U.S. Supreme Court refused on Tuesday to let a Rastafarian man sue state prison officials in Louisiana after guards held him down and shaved him bald in violation of his religious beliefs in a case brought under a federal law protecting incarcerated people from religious discrimination.The court in a 6-3 ruling powered by its conservative justices upheld a lower court's decision to dismiss Damon Landor's lawsuit because it found the statute at issue did not permit him to sue the individual prison officials and guards for monetary damages. Landor's religion requires him to let his hair gro

From LA to Scottsdale: The Founder Behind AdDynamix Is Building the Bridge Between AI and Business Tools

An LA digital advertising veteran of 28 years has moved to Scottsdale and is building what he calls the missing piece between business software and the AI assistants people now use every day.

Because their tools don’t talk to ChatGPT or Claude. Their accountant still pulls
