More women are filing lawsuits against the West Virginia State Police. Wheeling West Virginia Attorney Teresa Toriseva sent a notice of legal action to Interim WVSP Superintendent Colonel Jack Chambers and West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey on April 21 saying 42 women, including 10 minors, plan to file lawsuits against the West Virginia State Police. The minors attended Junior Trooper Academy. According to a letter sent by Cpl. Joseph Comer, a member of the WV State Police, to state lawmakers, Governor Jim Justice, and the office of the Attorney General on February 16, a hidden camera or cameras were placed and operated inside the female locker room at the State Police Academy. Toriseva says her clients and other female Junior Trooper program attendees accessed and used the female locker room at the Academy during the time the anonymous letter states the cameras were in use. Toriseva also says the taping of the females in the Academy did not end until 2020, the same time the Junior Trooper Program was discontinued in 2020.

Boris Johnson is standing down immediately as a Conservative MP after an investigation into the Partygate scandal found he misled parliament and recommended a lengthy suspension from the House of Commons. The former prime minister angrily accused the investigation of trying to drive him out. He hinted that he may try to make a return to politics, saying he was “very sad to be leaving parliament – at least for now”. The recommendation from the investigation by the privileges committee of MPs that Johnson be suspended for more than 10 days could have led to a recall petition and byelection in his constituency. But Johnson took the decision to step back of his own accord.

This is part of Opinionpalooza, Slate’s coverage of the major decisions from the Supreme Court this June. We’re working to change the way the media covers the Supreme Court. Sign up for the pop-up newsletter to receive our latest updates, and support our work when you join Slate Plus. There is a story we’ve been telling about Chief Justice John Roberts and his role at the Supreme Court in which he is both a centrist/moderate and also an institutionalist. The reality is far from this narrative, but the clarifying distance between the two is seen clearly in Roberts’ genuinely surprising decision on Thursday forcefully upholding what remains of the Voting Rights Act following his previous demolition jobs on the same. Both of the story versions of Roberts are descriptively correct except for a couple of big things. First, he is not actually a centrist/moderate, but in fact one of the most conservative jurists of the past century on a court in which several of the most conservative jurists since the dawn of human time now outflank him on the far right. This renders him a median, but not “moderate” voter, who is often on the losing side, and thus he often gets the “centrist” label. On the institutionalist front he has also been taking a shellacking because a genuine institutionalist, faced with staggering ethical lapses and dark-money investments in judicial outcomes in his midst, would have at least feinted at doing something to right the ship of institutional credibility and legitimacy. He did not. Roberts has instead taken the position that anyone who criticizes the court simply hates the court, and also wants to hurt its members; a position taken elsewhere by dark money judicial shoppers and cynical justices who hate being criticized. But if Roberts is neither a real moderate nor a real institutionalist, what he has consistently refused to be is a chump. And the Roberts who wrote the gobsmacking majority opinion in Allen v. Milligan, the term’s landmark voting rights case, is anything but a chump. For those of us who have noted that Roberts spent much of his early legal career fighting the Voting Rights Act, and spent much of his time on the court doing everything in his power to make race-conscious remedies look racist, Thursday’s paean to the vitality and centrality of the VRA in modern American life could make your eyeballs explode.

James G. Watt, who battled environmentalists during a rancorous term as interior secretary under President Ronald Reagan and offended even some allies with the uninhibited rhetoric that ultimately drove him to resign, died May 27 in Arizona. He was 85. During two years and nine months in office, he was a champion of private business, including oil, coal and other industries seeking what he deemed the necessary development of public lands, and a scourge of environmentalists, who regarded his nomination as a catastrophe for their cause. William Turnage, the director of the Wilderness Society, declared Mr. Watt the “worst thing that ever happened to America.” Another environmental activist remarked that making him interior secretary — the steward of hundreds of millions of acres of federal land and the country’s national parks — was “like hiring a fox to guard the chickens.” Mr. Watt, for his part, accused environmentalists of having “poisoned the press” against him even before he took office. Their conflict with Mr. Watt, and his with them, was one of long standing. After serving in the Interior Department during the Nixon and Ford administrations, Mr. Watt helped found the Mountain States Legal Foundation, a nonprofit law firm where he served as president and chief legal officer. The foundation, based in Colorado, was funded by business executives including Joseph Coors Sr., a scion of the Coors brewing family and an influential backer of conservative causes. In Mr. Watt’s description, the organization was established “to fight in the courts those bureaucrats and no-growth advocates who challenge individual liberties and economic freedoms.” Among other efforts, he and his colleagues pushed to open public lands to energy exploration and sought to limit the authority of the Environmental Protection Agency.

One woman denied a chemotherapy drug compares the situation to "triage on the battlefield". The low cost of generic front-line cancer drugs has actually played a role in recurrent chemotherapy drug shortages, experts say. While the medications are cheap to manufacture, pharmaceutical companies are not incentivised to do so because they don't bring in large profits, said Dr Karen Knudsen, CEO of the American Cancer Society. The drug shortage issue has also worsened as US life expectancy has increased, meaning more people are becoming ill with cancer.
