MOHELA is the key plaintiff in the case, Nebraska v. Biden, because no federal judge has yet found any other plaintiff with standing to sue—that is, a plaintiff who can say they are harmed by the administration’s plan to forgive between $10,000 and $20,000 in student debt. Putting aside whether the HEROES Act grants the Education Department the authority to forgive debt after an emergency (there’s strong reason to believe it does), standing is fundamental to our system of jurisprudence. The working theory is that MOHELA, which collects monthly payments from student borrowers on behalf of the government and receives a servicing fee, would lose revenue if many of the loans they service were canceled. The first problem that arises is that MOHELA has admitted in a letter to Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO) that their executives “were not involved with the decision of the Missouri Attorney General’s Office to file for the preliminary injunction in federal court.” Indeed, MOHELA has no relationship with the AG’s office, which was only able to obtain documents from the servicer through state sunshine law requests. The Supreme Court would be allowing the plaintiffs to win their case thanks to an unwilling conspirator. Missouri has tried to paper over this by saying that if MOHELA lost revenue from debt cancellation, it might be unable to repay a $105 million obligation to the “Lewis and Clark Discovery Fund,” which funds in-state schools in the state. But in Supreme Court oral arguments, it was revealed that MOHELA hasn’t made a contribution to that fund in 15 years. MOHELA has also said in its own financial documents that it doesn’t plan to make any Lewis and Clark payments in the future.

Two southwest Oklahoma police officers who fatally shot an unarmed Black man have been ordered by an arbitrator to be reinstated, according to an attorney for the two officers. Ex-Lawton Officers Robert Hinkle and Nathan Ronan were fired following the December 2021 shooting death of 29-year-old Quadry Sanders while investigating reports of a man waving a gun inside a home. Both officers have been charged with manslaughter by prosecutors, who said Sanders was unarmed .Body camera footage released by the Lawton Police Department shows Sanders appeared from around a refrigerator, his hands visible and appearing to holding a ball cap.

Mexico fans are yet still again chanting an anti-gay slur at American soccer players on U.S. soil during the two teams’ CONCACAF match Thursday night. This has been a regular occurrence for fans of Mexico, chanting anti-gay slurs at Team USA players or anyone else their favorite team plays. It’s become a ridiculous joke. US Soccer has claimed that they are taking this seriously, though they have taken absolutely zero punitive actions to curb the chant. They had the opportunity to act on a friendly in April, but their inaction has emboldened Mexico fans for this match. US Soccer and others like CONCACAF seem to think they can curb the anti-gay chant with stadium announcements and veiled threats. They cannot.

Jurors will return to the federal courthouse this morning to resume deliberations over the guilt of the accused gunman in the Pittsburgh synagogue shooting where 11 worshippers were killed in the deadliest antisemitic attack in U.S. history. Jurors got the case yesterday afternoon and deliberated for nearly three hours before being sent home. If the jury finds Robert Bowers guilty, there will be a one week break before the sentencing phase begins. That's where prosecutors will argue the death penalty is warranted, while the defense argue that the gunman's life should be spared.

The criticism leveled at Judge Cannon arises chiefly from her decision to appoint a special master to review the documents seized during last year’s F.B.I. search. Her rulings were a major mistake, and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit soundly, and rightfully, rebuked her for those errors in two decisions. In finding that she had improperly appointed a special master, the three-judge panel of the 11th Circuit — two of whom were also Trump appointees — made it clear that “to create a special exception” for a former president “would defy our nation’s foundational principle that our law applies ‘to all, without regard to numbers, wealth or rank.’”
