How climate litigation could silence us all
As the Supreme Court prepares to hear Suncor v. Boulder, a once-local climate lawsuit is packed with threats to the First Amendment lurking just below the waterline. At stake is not simply whether federal law preempts state tort claims arising from climate change, but whether state and local governments may use those claims to punish disfavored speakers for what they said about fossil fuels, climate policy, and their own place in the national economy.

While media attention is often high during the actual summit, the most consequential work of diplomacy is happening right now and in the months leading up to September.

Tobacco policy should reflect the world as it is
If reports are correct that Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Marty Makary resigned under pressure from the White House to approve flavored nicotine vaping products, the episode says a great deal about the state of American tobacco policy. Cigarettes remain legal, ubiquitous, and extraordinarily deadly. Yet smoke-free alternatives that may help adults move away from combustible tobacco continue to trigger political panic out of proportion to the actual public health trade-offs involved.

Will Marco Rubio help this Afghan warrior rescue his family?
In May, Afghan Special Mission Wing pilot and U.S. asylee Wahidullah Wahdat learned that his wife was killed in a gunfight outside a money exchange in Kabul. The tragedy has now left Wahdat’s children, all under the age of 13, without parents inside Afghanistan. News of his wife’s death and Wahdat’s ties to the former Afghan military have run rampant on social media. American benefactors from the Afghan American Development Group are attempting to keep Wahdat’s children safe. Without action from the State Department, however, the children have no chance of being reunited with their father.
