Alaska Drops 11 Voter Cases Against American Samoans After Court Ruling
x/alaskan
— Sep 12, 2026
Alaska prosecutors are dropping voter misconduct charges against American Samoa–born residents after a three-judge Alaska Court of Appeals ruled that prosecutors must prove consciousness of wrongdoing and intent to violate the law in erroneous voter registration forms, a finding that invalidated the Tupe Smith case and prompted review of remaining charges. The move affects 11 Whittier residents previously charged, with authorities citing flaws in the grand jury process and a state trooper’s questioning as part of the reason to concede there is insufficient proof beyond a reasonable doubt.

Former AG Gives Adam Schiff A Lesson In The Law

Sen. Adam Schiff appears to be arguing that when a president publicly criticizes someone, any later investigation of that person automatically becomes politically suspect.

Me@Work Privacy Scrutiny Reaches California
Business
— Jul 23, 2026
American Airlines’ Me@Work performance tool grades flight attendants using a year’s worth of data, including passenger surveys and operational metrics, and is framed by the airline as an informational self-review system rather than punishment, but unions say it violates California privacy law and lacks data access, correction rights, and transparent scoring. While the company defends the system as a developmental dashboard to identify coaching needs, critics warn that many metrics are influenced by factors beyond individual control and could penalize staff for broader operational issues.
