Dragnet Decision
The Supreme Court heard arguments Monday in Chatrie v. United States, a Fourth Amendment case challenging "geofence warrants" that let police obtain Google location data from every phone near a crime scene. Justices appeared likely to require warrants for such searches.
The case stems from a 2019 Virginia bank robbery where authorities pulled location data covering a 17.5-acre area over two hours. Google initially returned 19 users before investigators narrowed in on Okello Chatrie, who was sentenced to nearly 12 years.
A ruling is expected by July. Geofence requests now make up over a quarter of US law enforcement data demands, though Google moved location history to user devices in 2023, limiting the company's ability to respond. How these have been used before.
Weedkiller Watershed
The Supreme Court heard arguments Monday in a case that could shut down thousands of lawsuits against Bayer over its Roundup weedkiller, with justices appearing divided over whether federal pesticide law blocks state-level cancer warning claims.
Bayer inherited the litigation through its $63 billion Monsanto purchase in 2018 and has paid over $11 billion settling roughly 100,000 cases. A proposed $7.25 billion settlement announced in February would resolve current and future non-Hodgkin lymphoma claims tied to glyphosate exposure.
A ruling is expected by July. The case has galvanized Make America Healthy Again activists, hundreds of whom rallied outside the court, testing the movement's clout after the Trump administration sided with Bayer despite earlier promises to curb pesticide use. Does Roundup cause cancer?
Royal Reception
King Charles III and Queen Camilla landed in Washington yesterday for a four-day state visit marking the 250th anniversary of American independence. President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump hosted the royals for private tea at the White House.
The couple later attended a garden party at the British ambassador's residence, an event first held for King George VI in 1939. Roughly 600 guests mingled, including House Speaker Mike Johnson, former Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Senator Ted Cruz, and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent (Photos).
Today brings the formal ceremonial welcome, a bilateral meeting, and a state dinner. Charles will address a joint session of Congress, only the second British monarch to do so after Queen Elizabeth II in 1991. The trip continues in New York and Virginia.

Unknown number calling? It’s not random…
The BBC caught scam call center workers on hidden cameras as they laughed at the people they were tricking.
One worker bragged about making a quarter of a million dollars from victims in the US and UK. Another admitted to targeting seniors on purpose, forcing one woman to give up her last $100 on Christmas Day.
And here’s the disturbing truth: scammers don’t pick phone numbers at random. They buy your personal data from data brokers—your phone number, your email, even details about your lifestyle. That’s how they know exactly who to target.
Once your data is out there, it’s not just spam calls. It’s phishing, impersonation, and even identity theft.
They delete your personal info from everywhere on the web
They monitor and follow up automatically
They keep erasing your data as new risks appear.
You can’t stop scammers from existing. But you can make sure they don’t have your information to work with.

Close grip flat bench
Standing supinated dumbbell curl (one arm at a time)
Bent-over rows
Hanging leg raises
Lateral raises
Notably absent: direct calf work. His fix? Take the stairs. Full video.
How to Meet Your Spouse in 2026
Half of men aged 18 to 24 have never approached a woman in person. Sounds grim, but here's the reframe: the "walk up to a stranger at the bar" model was a brief blip in history. For most of human existence, relationships started through community, family, church, or proximity. You already knew her.
The fix is leaning back into that. Women can cultivate small signals of receptiveness (a longer glance, a smile) since men's signal-reading is famously bad. Men can stop expecting cold approaches to feel natural and instead show up consistently in real-life spaces (gyms, classes, communities) where mutual recognition can grow. Less Hollywood, more village.
