Alaska Drops 11 Voter Cases Against American Samoans After Court Ruling
x/alaskan
— 6d
Alaska prosecutors are dropping voter misconduct charges against American Samoa–born residents after a three-judge Alaska Court of Appeals ruled that prosecutors must prove consciousness of wrongdoing and intent to violate the law in erroneous voter registration forms, a finding that invalidated the Tupe Smith case and prompted review of remaining charges. The move affects 11 Whittier residents previously charged, with authorities citing flaws in the grand jury process and a state trooper’s questioning as part of the reason to concede there is insufficient proof beyond a reasonable doubt.

Former AG Gives Adam Schiff A Lesson In The Law
x/adam-schiff
— Jul 20, 2026
Sen. Adam Schiff appears to be arguing that when a president publicly criticizes someone, any later investigation of that person automatically becomes politically suspect. That is a dangerous standard. Political hostility does not place anyone beyond the reach of the law, just as it should not be used as a substitute for evidence of wrongdoing. […]

Me@Work Privacy Scrutiny Reaches California
Business

American Airlines’ Me@Work performance tool grades flight attendants using a year’s worth of data, including passenger surveys and operational metrics, and is framed by the airline as an informational self-review system rather than punishment, but unions say it violates California privacy law and lacks data access, correction rights, and transparent scoring. While the company defends the system as a developmental dashboard to identify coaching needs, critics warn that many metrics are influenced by factors beyond individual control and could penalize staff for broader operational issues.
