An excerpt from yesterday’s decision in U.S. v. California, by Judge Mark Bennett, joined by Judges Jacqueline Nguyen and Daniel Collins: [T]he United States seeks an injunction pending appeal that enjoins … enforc[ement of] § 10 of the [California] No Vigilantes Act … against federal agencies and officers. Section 10 requires any non-uniformed “federal law enforcement officer” operating in California, with narrow exceptions, to “visibly display identification” while performing federal law enforcement duties. Officers who violate the law may be criminally prosecuted by the State…. We conclude that § 10 of the No Vigilantes Act attempts to directly regulate the…

In one of the scariest moments in modern history, we’re doing our best at ScheerPost to pierce the fog of lies that conceal it but we need some help to pay our writers and staff. Please consider a tax-deductible donation. Joshua Scheer The Associated Press has surfaced yet another episode in the ongoing normalization of federal power being turned inward—this time aimed not at activists, whistleblowers, or dissidents, but at a reporter doing her job. According to the AP’s account, The New York Times learned that the FBI opened an inquiry into whether Times reporter Elizabeth Williamson had violated…

President Donald Trump wrote on Truth Social that the US Navy had full control over the Strait of Hormuz. However, Tehran continues to restrict traffic through the Strait.  “We have total control over the Strait of Hormuz. No ship can enter or leave without the approval of the United States Navy,” the President wrote on Thursday. “It is ‘Sealed up Tight,’ until such time as Iran is able to make a DEAL!!! Thank you for your attention to this matter.” The Strait of Hormuz is the only route in or out of the Persian Gulf, and was considered an international…

Screenshot from WUSA9 in 2021. Jack Evans’ bid for DC Council chairman has ended with a whimper. Unable to collect enough signatures to get on the ballot, Evans dropped out of the race last week, he told WUSA9. This is a stunning rebuke for a man who served a record 29 years on the DC Council as the Ward 2 representative, including an incredible two decades atop the powerful finance and revenue committee. As finance chairman, Evans prioritized government spending on multibillion-dollar stadiums, while shunning efforts to stabilize DC’s vulnerable residents, which helped fuel the city’s unprecedented gentrification — just as…

President Donald Trump is reportedly set to add an airline to the stable of private companies he’s demanded the government take a piece of. “The Trump administration is in advanced discussions with budget carrier Spirit Airlines about a bailout,” CBS News reports. “The financing package could include a loan of up to $500 million, in exchange for warrants that would allow the federal government to take a potentially substantial ownership stake in the beleaguered airline.” A source told NBC News the government could end up owning as much as 90 percent of the company.

Photograph by Nathaniel St. Clair The Trump administration has been working fervently to silence political dissent. The State Department has revoked the visas of students who have criticized Israel or “celebrated” the murder of Charlie Kirk. On April 10, the Department of Justice fired two judges who had previously dismissed deportation cases against pro-Palestinian students. In its second term, the Trump administration has dismissed more than 100 immigration judges for similar reasons. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the FBI are reportedly keeping several “secret and obscure watchlists” to track “protestors (both anti-ICE and pro-Palestinian), ‘Antifa,’ and others who are promiscuously labeled ‘domestic terrorists,’” according…
