The United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit issued a ruling this week that should have been unnecessary to obtain in the first place. In a 2-1 decision handed down Tuesday, the court restored the Trump administration's authority to apply expedited removal to undocumented immigrants anywhere in the country, not merely near the border, reversing a lower-court injunction that had blocked the policy for months. The ruling is a legal victory, and it is the right outcome, but the fact that the federal government had to fight its way through multiple layers of litigation simply to enforce a statute that Congress passed in 1996 tells you a great deal about how far the judiciary has drifted from its proper role.

The crowd at 99 Scott Studio in East Williamsburg did not cheer the candidate's name when the race was called Tuesday night. They chanted something else entirely. "Free Palestine. Free Palestine." Over and over, filling a cavernous Brooklyn venue as Claire Valdez, the newly nominated Democratic candidate for New York's 7th Congressional District, took the stage to declare that her movement was "durable" and "growing" and would not stop "until working people run the table."

Nearly 200,000 Americans flooded the National Mall this weekend. Justin Gaethje bloodied a Georgian champion and ripped the lightweight belt away in front of the most powerful address on earth. Twelve jets screamed overhead. The Zac Brown Band played the anthem. The crowd went absolutely insane. And to no one's surprise... the left is furious.

Starting this fall, Swedish law will ban mobile phones from schools for the entire academic year. This isn't a pilot program. It isn't a suggestion. The country that gave the world Spotify and Ericsson looked at its classrooms, looked at its children, and admitted the obvious: the screens aren't working. Swedish parliament's own education committee chair put it plainly: reading and writing ability has declined significantly, especially among younger students. The solution? Books. Traditional learning. Less screen time.
