I'm convinced that the dividing line between people either loving or hating The Life Of a Showgirl is whether they're "okay" with her dating Travis Kelce.

SCOTUS looked likely to strike down Colorado's ban on conversion therapy as the justices question medical experts the harms of conversion therapy

"There been times when the medical consensus has been politicized," Alito said.

Colorado’s conversion therapy ban on the ropes at Supreme Court

The justices approved Tennessee's hormone therapy ban earlier this year, but Colorado appears to be hitting First Amendment roadblocks with its law against conversion therapy.

As if conversion therapy weren't contentious enough of an issue for the day, Alito asked this hypothetical:

“There's a rule that says you may not bring any dangerous animals in the park, including pit bulls. Doesn't that definitively provide that you can't bring a pit bull into the park?”

SCOTUS kicked off its 2025 term by reviewing technical cases that seemed to draw near unanimity across the bench, marking a stark contrast from the sharp ideological divides over contentious emergency docket disputes this summer.

Justices begin 2025 term after blockbuster summer of emergency rulings

In two relatively low-stakes appeals on criminal procedure and federal jurisdiction, the high court appeared to find more common ground compared to the rifts between the justices on emergency appeals.

NEW: Gavin Newsom says that Trump has ordered 300 previously federalized CA National Guard troops into Oregon to end-run Judge Immergut's ruling blocking the federalization of the Oregon National Guard. www.gov.ca.gov/2025/10/05/g...

In response to a federal court order that blocked his attempt to federalize the Oregon National Guard, President Trump is deploying 300 California National Guard personnel into Oregon. They are on their way there now. This is a breathtaking abuse of the law and power. The Trump Administration is unapologetically attacking the rule of law itself and putting into action their dangerous words — ignoring court orders and treating judges, even those appointed by the President himself, as political opponents.
This isn't about public safety, it's about power. The commander-in-chief is using the U.S. military as a political weapon against American citizens. We will take this fight to court, but the public cannot stay silent in the face of such reckless and authoritarian conduct by the President of the United States.
Governor Gavin Newsom
