There’s a right way and there’s a wrong way to report on Trumpian extremism. Right way: www.nytimes.com/2026/10/08/u... Wrong way: wapo.st/4yElwyB
By Chris Cameron

Pentagon officials said on Thursday that the Army officer convicted in the 2009 Fort Hood shooting would be executed in public, a practice that ended in the United States nearly a century ago and is most commonly carried out in a handful of countries, including Iran, North Korea and Afghanistan.

The Pentagon said in a statement that the military execution, scheduled for Dec. 3, would also be broadcast via livestream. Such a broadcast has little precedent, and releasing video of executions is most often associated with extremist militant groups like the Islamic State.By Amy B Wang, Aoife Walsh and Maegan Vazquez

The Defense Department said in a statement Thursday that the firing squad execution of convicted Fort Hood shooter Nidal Malik Hasan will be live-streamed for the public to watch.

Earlier Thursday, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said he wanted the execution to be public.

I've been thinking and talking and writing about the death penalty for my whole adult life and the past week+ has been truly surreal and exhausting, not only because of the onslaught of horrors but because there seems to be so little historical memory of what this system is and always has been.

NEW: If Trump and Hegseth weren’t trying to kick trans people out of the military, a Navy board recently wrote of a trans women that it “without reservation would recommend retention based on a record of exemplary service," lawyers revealed today. www.lawdork.com/i/219495792/...
Absent ALNAV 011/26, the board without reservation would recommend retention based on a record of exemplary service.
• If separated from Naval Service, the board recommends waiving recoupment of debt associated with service education program costs based on LT Winchell's demonstrated exemplary service.

BREAKING: Judge Sorokin upholds magistrate judge's order requiring discovery to be produced by the Trump administration in Kseniia Petrova's vindictive prosecution claim, among other discovery and grand jury instructions. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
Because the government has identified no legal or factual error in Judge Dein's analysis
of Petrova's entitlement to discovery concerning vindictive prosecution— and because the record and the law plainly support her conclusion in the circumstances presented the government's third and final parry fails.
Accordingly, the government's appeal (Doc. No. 63), ably briefed by both parties, is
DENIED. The parties shall meet and confer and shall notify the Court by October 23, 2026, whether a further ruling is needed as to the scope and timing of the discovery to be produced
pursuant to Judge Dein's order, affirmed in full here. If so, those issues shall be raised before
Judge Dein at the final status conference, presently scheduled for November 30, 2026. See Doc.
No. 84.
SO ORDERED.

Also, no, I am not letting Sam Alito’s not-even-in-an-opinion rants — many of which are years-old speeches reiterating the same grievances he’s been making constantly to anyone who will listen — lead to the exact coverage now that he clearly so desperately craves.

It's also just simple institutional self-defense. Does the power of the purse still hold? Does Congress actually get to govern? And so on. They've got to use all of the levers available to them, and probably create some new ones that aren't yet.

It's about trying the entire Trump administration agenda in the court of public opinion. The corruption. The cruelty. The incompetence. The flagrant disregard for the law. Vought is the perfect avatar for all of that. Done well, it could be an opportunity to put Unitary Executive Theory on trial.

I've been covering the death penalty in depth for a dozen years now, and few nights have been as disturbing and dispiriting as tonight. This was a moral, ethical, and legal failure on several different fronts from many different actors. It wasn't *just* SCOTUS, though they sure were a key part.

After SCOTUS allowed Tennessee execution to go ahead, Tennessee botched the execution
SCOTUS, over the liberals’ dissent, cleared the way for Tennessee to kill Christa Pike. The alarming order from DC was followed by even more disturbing developments in Tennessee.

BREAKING: SCOTUS allows the Trump admin to restart third-country removals under a policy found by lower courts to violate federal law. The Democratic appointees dissent. The deportations will be OK'ed at least through the next several months, with SCOTUS agreeing to hear the case in December.
CERTIORARI GRANTED
DEPT. OF HOMELAND SEC., ET AL. V. D.V.D., ET AL.
The application for stay presented to Justice Jackson and
by her referred to the Court is granted. The February 25, 2026
order and judgment of the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts, case No. 1:25-cv-10676, are stayed.
The application is also treated as a petition for a writ of
certiorari, and the petition is granted. The parties are directed to brief and argue the following questions: (1) Whether
the district court had jurisdiction over Respondents' claims.
(2) Whether the district court had authority to enter classwide declaratory relief and APA vacatur under 8 U. S. C. §1252(f) (1).
(3) Whether the Government's Guidance on third-country removals
is unlawful under 8 U.S. C. §1231(b), the Due Process Clause, or FARRA/CAT and its implementing regulations. (4) Such other
questions that the Government determines are appropriate for the
proper disposition of the case. The Clerk is directed to
establish a briefing schedule that will allow the case to be argued in the December 2026 argument session. The stay shall
terminate upon the sending down of the judgment of this Court.
Justice Sotomayor, Justice Kagan, and Justice Jackson would deny the application for stay.
