Scientific American wants to keep politics out of science so it is now entering politics? Seems a bit like vegans holding a a pig roast to fight the consumption of meat...scientificamerican.com/article/scient…
...For the record, I have long opposed all media endorsements which contravene values of neutrality and objectivity. That is even more important for academic and scientific journals. Scientific American is a wonderful mix of journalism and science. It should not add politics.
..I agree with many of the objections over the ignoring of science on issues ranging from climate change to public health. However, we are seeing an attack on objectivity in journalism by leading academics. jonathanturley.org/2020/09/14/sta… The result is a loss of trust in the media...
...Scientific American is a trusted source for scientific news for readers of every political viewpoint. It can publish facts that discredit politicians like Trump without joining a political cause as a publication.

Gov. Tim Walz is continuing to express outrage this week over SNAP cuts in Minnesota. It is worth noting that the $430,000 he spent on prepping for his recent testimony would have paid for roughly 86,000 such meals for Minnesotan citizens instead of law firms and advisers...
...I criticized politicians like Boston Mayor Michelle Wu for spending similar amounts to prep for hearings. Officials should be able to answer questions on their record without spending lavishly on close-ups, like pampered, publicly funded Norma Desmonds. jonathanturley.org/2025/03/05/all…
...By the way, the figure is based on one estimate of SNAP meals costing roughly $5 a day for Minnesota residents. If accurate, that is actually three meals or a total of 258,000 individual meals...

The Supreme Court just delivered a major victory for the Trump Administration in lifting an injunction on layoffs as part of his downsizing of government. I was previously critical of Judge Illston’s order... jonathanturley.org/2025/06/03/rif…
...I previously criticized the judge for a decision that was, in my view, "well outside of the navigational beacons for the courts under the separation of powers." The Court has now reversed not only her decision but the Ninth Circuit...
...The Ninth Circuit declared that "The executive order at issue here far exceeds the president's supervisory powers under the Constitution" in what it described as "an unprecedented attempted restructuring of the federal government and its operations." However, the Court will allow the layoffs to continue, at least for now, as the case works it way through the legal system...

...We have our second case. It is another major one: Kennedy v. Braidwood Management. supremecourt.gov/opinions/24pdf…
It is 6-3 in upholding the constitutionality of the board that issued rules for the covering of preventative case. This avoids a massive potential disruption on covered health care services.
...Justice Thomas dissents with Alito and Gorsuch. Roberts, Kavanaugh, and Barrett join with the liberal justices...

Five-minute warning. Once again, we have ten cases in the pipeline. We will be watching for any retirement announcements. Justices Thomas and Alito are the most obvious. Thomas may want to extend his time as one of the longest sitting justices, so the best money may be on Alito.
...Both Thomas and Alito would likely want to retire when they can be replaced with a like-minded nominee...
...Alito could well have the Mahmoud case out of Maryland on parental rights and LGBTQ material in public schools...

President Trump just announced that the United States has attacked the nuclear sites in Iran, including Fordow. As discussed in today's column, Trump has history on his side in taking this action without congressional approval... thehill.com/opinion/white-…
...Since Iran has threatened to attack the United States in response to such an operation, it could trigger a series of cascading decisions. For example, under Article Five of the NATO treaty, an attack on one member is an attack on all...
...That is just one of the issues that could arise in a more prolonged conflict if Iran carries out its threat of retaliating against U.S. assets.
