The Supreme Court says this is a free speech issue, that money is speech.

Well, the Supreme Court has handed President Trump and future presidents a lot of power to fire people in the federal government and reshape agencies we thought were independent.

But Trump lost big in a few of the cases that mattered most to him in the birthright case and with his tariffs.

Longtime appellate lawyer Cannon Shanmugam put it this way in a talk sponsored by the Conservative Federalist Society yesterday.

And we're going to find out whether that pattern holds when the court returns for a new term in October.

Thank you.

So Melak Kiros is a 29-year-old democratic socialist.

She's a lawyer who got fired for a post she wrote that criticized Israel over its actions in Gaza.

And she hasn't apologized for that, you know, making several comments defending pro-Palestinian activists.

So after that experience, she decided to challenge Democratic Congresswoman Diana DeGette, who's been her representative for her entire life.

Now, Denver is a deep blue district, and she's expected to have a smooth glide path to Congress.

But I will add, she's also really fired up voters here in the city who were looking for change, especially generational change.

This is what she had to say at her victory party.

We will not wait!

I think those are air horns, actually.

OK, thank you.

But she was, you know, and she's also criticized the current leaders of the Democratic Party, like Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries.

Look, I think there are definitely younger voters in Denver who want to see their congressperson take more progressive stances, Medicare for all, ending aid to Israel.

They just want more of a fighter, someone who will bring fresh ideas to Congress.

But a lot of voters I spoke with also just thought it was well past time for DeGette to pass the baton.
