From the long opinion in Moore v. Cecil, decided today by Judge Elizabeth Branch, joined by Judges Jill Pryor and Frank Hull:Because the defamatory meaning is implied as opposed to explicitly stated, it necessarily follows that the challenged statement could have multiple meanings—some defamatory and some not. Accordingly, because the challenged statement in a defamation-by-implication case has multiple meanings, the question that necessarily follows is whether showing known falsity or reckless disregard of the falsity of the implied defamatory statement is enough to show the necessary intent to defame for purposes of the actual malice standard. Although we have not…

Kevin Barry is a hero of the Irish independence movement. He was a member of the Irish Republican Army during the War of Independence (1919-1921) against the British occupiers of Ireland. He took part in an attack upon a British supply truck. A British soldier was killed, Barry was captured, and then he was hung, after torture, in 1920, when he was eighteen-years old. There is a famous song about him, sung by more people than can be named here, but including Paul Robeson. One of the verses spells out what always underlies colonial and imperial rule: murder. Just before…

Defending his supposed authority to punish a member of Congress for criticizing him, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth argues that retired military officers like Sen. Mark Kelly (D–Ariz.) are subject to speech restrictions because of their continuing connection to the armed forces. Hegseth relies mainly on the Supreme Court’s 1974 decision in Parker v. Levy, which involved an active-duty U.S. Army captain who urged soldiers to defy deployment orders during the Vietnam War. That precedent is clearly inapposite, the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE) argues in a brief urging the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit to…

Shoot and Kill. The U.S.-Iran conflict is evolving from a hot war of dueling air strikes to a nautical stalemate with lots of piracy and saber (cutlass?) rattling. The two-week ceasefire between the two countries that was supposed to expire Wednesday has since morphed into an indefinite pause in direct hostilities. Neither side is actively bombing the other at the moment. But face-to-face negotiations have not restarted either. The Reason Roundup Newsletter by Liz Wolfe Liz and Reason help you make sense of the day’s news every morning. In lieu of directly shooting at each other, the U.S. and Iran…

Look at the progressive Democrats’ “May Day Strong Coalition’s” call for a day of economic protest this May 1st: “This May Day, It’s Workers Over Billionaires. On May 1, 2026, workers, students, and families rally, march, and take action across the country to demand a nation that puts workers over billionaires, with many refusing business as usual through No School. No Work. No Shopping. That we tax the rich so our families, not their fortunes, come first… it’s up to us to organize and act together. Together we will flex our collective power in a tremendous day of action — rallying, marching,…

After seeing Michael, the new Michael Jackson biopic, I can only imagine what the pitch session must have been like: Let’s make a movie about Michael Jackson, the famously talented, weird, and controversial pop star—and under no circumstances will we say or even hint anything even slightly interesting about Michael Jackson. I am tempted to say this movie plays like a Wikipedia entry with a soundtrack, but even that gives it too much credit. Wikipedia pages on famous personages almost always have a section labeled “controversies.”  This brutally dull movie dodges even the smallest speed bumps in its subject’s life,…

Dimitri Lascaris spent 11 days in Iran last month and was the first Westerner to show there was no military base near the school the U.S. struck, killing 168 schoolchildren.  Here are four of his films from Iran. Dimitri Lascaris is a Canadian lawyer, journalist and filmmaker. He spent 11 days in Iran at the end of March while the country was under U.S. and Israeli bombardment.  He produced numerous films, four of which we present here.  The first is Dmitri’s visit to the school in Minab that the U.S. bombed on the opening day of the war, killing 175…
