Supreme Court halts order for Alabama to use House map with two primarily black districts
The order comes after the high court struck down maps last week that added a second majority black district in Louisiana, ruling the map was unconstitutional because it contained race-based districts.

New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 158
How does society work? That seems like an important question for people who live in societies and are thus tasked, whether they like it or not, with keeping the thing going. The answer is pretty surprising, actually, and it all boils down to how we incentivize people to work in ways that benefit other people even when they don’t know or care about those other people. Drawing off Friedrich Hayek’s arguments about the “extended society,” in this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay endeavors to explain what actually makes societies work and why centrally planned and totalitarian systems do a poor job of running them. You won’t want to miss this one.

A senator’s ramped-up calls for accountability hardly inspired confidence with the clock set to run out on the statute of limitations for The Science™.
Since the days of the White House Coronavirus Task Force, Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul (R) has positioned himself as a leading voice of opposition against then-National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) Director Dr. Anthony Fauci.
As Monday marks the end of the statute of limitations to indict the jab-pushing, retired bureaucrat for allegedly perjuring himself to Congress, the senator’s promises to bring accountability rang hollow for many.
Paul himself posted last week, “5 days from now, on May 11th, the statute of limitations expires on the possibility of indicting Anthony Fauci for denying under oath that he funded gain-of-function research involving bat coronaviruses in Wuhan, the origin city of the pandemic.”

A popular socialist refrain in America demands the “rich pay their fair share,” but what exactly does that mean?
“Fair” is an ambiguous term that leaves too much room for interpretation, serving as a metric that allows the goalposts to be moved until the user is satisfied with the outcome. What is “fair” to one person may seem unfair to another, given its subjective nature, so it’s only right to look at more objective metrics.
To this end, Ted Jenkin penned an op-ed for Fox News revealing what top earners actually pay, according to the data.
“According to data from the Internal Revenue Service and the Tax Foundation, the top 1% of earners already pay roughly 40% or more of all federal income taxes. The top 10%? Closer to 70%. Meanwhile, nearly half of Americans pay little to no federal income tax each year,” he wrote. “So, when someone says the wealthy don’t pay enough, what they’re really saying is: It’s fair that lots of people pay zero and that they want the rich to pay even more than that share.”
But federal income tax isn’t the only way that earners pay, Jenkin noted.
“Live in high-tax states like California or New York, and you can add another 10%–14% on top of that federal number. Suddenly, you’re pushing toward a combined rate that rivals some European countries,” he pointed out.

A member of the Seditious Six allegedly stuck his foot in his mouth anew, this time “blabbing on TV” about details concerning a classified Pentagon briefing.
In recent months, Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly (D) has found himself fighting off the consequences for his participation in a video advising U.S. military service members to disobey orders they believe to be illegal at a time when leftists categorize much of President Donald Trump’s orders as such.
Now the former astronaut, widely considered a likely hopeful ahead of the 2028 Democratic presidential primary, faced renewed ire from Secretary of War Pete Hegseth over comments made on CBS News’ “Face the Nation” as the cabinet official asked, “Did he violate his oath…again?”
Sharing a post from the program’s host, Margaret Brennan, Hegseth wrote Sunday, “‘Captain’ Mark Kelly strikes again. Now he’s blabbing on TV (falsely & dumbly) about a *CLASSIFIED* Pentagon briefing he received. Did he violate his oath…again? @DeptofWar legal counsel will review.”
