It’s been five years since Alex Jones lost InfoWars to the Sandy Hook families. As the verdict came down, he asked: “Do these people actually believe they’re getting any money?” He hasn't paid them a penny. Well, The Onion is going pay them anyway. The new InfoWars begins July 2nd at 8 p.m. ET.

The Onion says it won’t wait for the courts, will launch Infowars to pay Sandy Hook families
The Onion’s staff is tired of waiting for the courts to settle its pending takeover of Alex Jones’ brand, so the new Infowars will launch next month.

Some very good news out of a Texas federal court: Alex Jones doesn't have standing to appeal a Bankruptcy court order that placed InfoWars' assets in state receivership, meaning they can be licensed or sold to us. More to come, obviously, but we're almost there.
In sum, no appellant has standing to appeal.
III. Conclusion
The court concludes that no appellant has standing to appeal the October 2025 order that
“[t]he automatic stay imposed under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code in the Jones
Bankruptcy Case does not apply to FSS or any of FSS’s asset.” (Docket Entry No. 2-30 at 2). The
court lacks jurisdiction over this appeal. The appeal is dismissed.
The motion for leave to file a corrected reply, (Docket Entry No. 37), is granted. The
motion to strike, (Docket Entry No. 38), is denied as moot.
The October 2025 order remains operative. Jones and/or Free Speech Systems may move
to stay the October 2025 order pending appeal to the Fifth Circuit by Friday, May 22, 2026.
SIGNED on May 15, 2026, at Houston, Texas.

Note: Virginia supreme court justices are "re-elected" by state lawmakers, meaning the legislature chooses whether to reappoint them or replace them. Two of the four justices in the majority today against the new congressional map will be "up" by early 2028.
