The Roberts court’s record on the First Amendment
SCOTUS Blog
KEYWORD SCORE: 38.81. campaign finance, cars, colorado, commission, employment, fares, land use, tabor
The Roberts court is often treated as especially protective of the First Amendment. It is true that the court has reshaped free speech law across such areas as campaign finance, student speech, government speech, and online platforms. It has also transformed religious doctrine through expanding the free exercise clause and the establishment clause, and in several religious-accommodation cases. But these two First Amendment stories are not the same. The court’s speech cases are often favorable towards speakers, but speech claimants do not win uniformly. Religion is more consistent.

What Youth Aging Out of Foster Care Need: Supportive Housing
Governing
KEYWORD SCORE: 36.80. affordable housing, development, homelessness, housing, low-income, petition, transit
Every year in the United States, around 20,000 youths turn 18 and age out of the foster care system, and 20 percent of them immediately become homeless. That makes foster care one of the single largest pipelines into homelessness. Why? Because youth leaving foster care are offered very little support when it comes to finding housing, let alone a job or other support they need to build a stable adult life. If we are committed to ending the crisis of homelessness, we need to prioritize resources to develop more housing designed for youth aging out of the foster care system so that these young ad

Population Growth Slowed Across Most States in 2025
Governing
KEYWORD SCORE: 32.66. budget, colorado, covid-19, housing, infrastructure, pandemic, sales tax, transit
In 2025, population growth rates fell in 48 states as international migration declined nationwide. The number of states with populations that grew more slowly than their long-term trends tripled to 30 from 10 in 2024. With populations aging and birth rates near record lows, states are increasingly dependent on migration—domestic and international—for growth. Although nearly every state’s population is still expanding, slower long-term growth poses fiscal risks to many states. Total population across the 50 states grew about half as fast from July 2024 to July 2025 as it did during the precedin

While enjoyable for most, these areas often experience excessive intoxication and violence, which can impact economic viability when patrons do not feel safe. In recent years, U.S. cities from Boston to Washington, D.C. have begun appointing “night mayors,” or “nighttime economy managers,” similar to those across Europe.

The U.S. Supreme Court (unlike some) does not divide its docket between civil and criminal cases. So I do. With about five weeks left in the current Supreme Court term, it’s time for a quick update on how the court is handling its criminal cases this term, and a brief description of “big” criminal cases that still await decision. As Justice Amy Coney Barrett recently remarked (though this is my description), the idea of “big cases” is more a phenomenon of publicity rather than legal significance, and Supreme Court observers should “read [the court’s opinions and commentary] very critically,” w
