Journalists, Federal Workers, and Unions File Lawsuit to Challenge Closure of U.S. Agency for Global Media (AFSCME)

# data[].attributes.body
the USAGM is challenging a lawsuit to prevent from being disbanded saying that it is a violation of the 1st amendment. The reason for this lawsuit is because "the agency has failed to fulfill its legally required functions and violated both the freedom of journalists and separation of powers when it ordered staff not to report to work, suspended contractors, turned off service, and locked the agency’s doors." USAGM says that disbanding their agency will limit the ability to have factual information.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.0C2m2kC0
The connection to the 1st amendment is that the amendment says that the government cannot limit the freedom of press.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.selk-HbU
They would most likely decide in favor of USAGM because forcefuly closing the agency limits the freedom the press and therefore is unconstitutional. Having an agency to maintain the freedom of press and limit false information is very important to keep the public properly informed

Drake's Label Files to Dismiss Amended Suit Over Kendrick Lamar's 'Not Like Us': His New Allegations Are Astonishing 

# data[].attributes.body
Drake filed his initial suit against UMG in January over Kendrick Lamar‘s “Not Like Us,” claiming that the label intentionally engaged in defamation by promoting the song. In March, UMG filed a motion to dismiss. Last month, Drake’s legal counsel refiled an amended complaint to focus on events since the initial filing, claiming that UMG knowingly negotiated and promoted “Not Like Us” via Lamar’s Super Bowl performance and consented to the track being played at the 2025 Grammy Awards.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.selk-HbU
The Supreme court would favor Drake because Kendrick has the right to say what he wants, and his song had no threats or harassment against Drake.

Drake filed his initial suit against Universal Music Group in January over Kendrick Lamar's "Not Like Us", where he claimed that the label purposely engaged in defamation by promoting the song. "Not Like Us" was performed at the Super Bowl under Kendrick Lamar, where it is claimed that UMG knowingly negotiated and promoted the song, as well as consenting to the track being played at the 2025 Grammy Awards.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.0C2m2kC0
It's stated that Drake filed an amended complaint due to the song containing false accusations and facts about him and his character. This connects to Freedom of speech, where there is creative expression used in the music industry, such as provocative taunts against other artists that are highly common.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.selk-HbU
The Supreme Court would dismiss this case due to the commonality of taunts being used against other artists in creative expression, as well as because Drake himself has engaged himself in the same exact form of creative expression.

Trump's crackdown on students with visas and green cards sets up first amendment showdown - CBS

Hundreds of primarily student visas were canceled for students who led or participated in pro-Palestinian protests. People of the Trump administration believe that there is "no right to a student visa" and that if the students choose to be social activists, then they can take the visas away. The Trump administration also claims that they haven't changed the law regarding this issue, they have just handled it differently and at a much stricter degree.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.0C2m2kC0
This article connects because the first amendment clearly states that we have a right to protest. The people that chose to participate in the pro-Palestinian protests had views that opposed the Trump administration which resulted in stripping them of their visas and in some cases, being deported.

The Supreme court would likely rule in favor of the students and say that this limits their first amendment rights. They should not and cannot be punished for expressing their views.

But the Justice Department has tried to get ahead of things and say that Donald Trump's case is much different than the rioters', that he was trying to obstruct the proceedings of Congress in many ways, including with that fake electoral scheme and with many actions that didn't just occur on January 6th.

Ryan Walters is encouraging more education on religion in the government, suggesting that it should be implemented in "one of the most contentious places of all: public schools". Walters suggests that he wants students to have religious freedom in their schools and to allow them to express their beliefs in schools because he believes that this ability has been slowly taken away over time in schools.

Andrew Warren, a Democratic prosecutor in Florida, is asking the state Supreme Court to reinstate him after being suspended by Governor Ron DeSantis, whom he accuses of political bias. A federal judge ruled DeSantis violated Warren’s First Amendment rights, although the lawsuit was dismissed on technical grounds. Warren argues his suspension lacked legitimate justification and is also seeking support from a federal appeals court

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.0C2m2kC0
Andrew Warren's case connects to the First Amendment as he claims his suspension by Governor DeSantis was politically motivated, targeting his beliefs and public statements on issues like abortion and transgender rights. The federal judge's ruling supports Warren's opinion that DeSantis’ actions violated his rights to free speech and expression as a government official.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.selk-HbU
The Florida Supreme Court will evaluate if Governor DeSantis had the legal grounds to suspend Warren and whether it violated his First Amendment rights. They may consider the federal judge's findings regarding the lack of justification for DeSantis' actions.

# data[].attributes.body
Last year, Texas enacted a new law that would allow public schools to invite volunteer chaplains to counsel students during school hours. In April, Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida signed a similar law. Several other state legislatures, including Missouri, Kansas, and Oklahoma, have considered proposing chaplaincy programs. As Supreme Court case law demonstrates, school chaplaincy programs are permitted under the Constitution as long as students are not coerced into participating. Far from violating their rights, chaplaincy programs give students more opportunities to freely exercise their faith.

A federal judge has ordered a 7-year-old Florida student to testify in a lawsuit challenging a school district's removal of books with objectionable content. The judge denied a protective order from the child's parent, but agreed to limit the questioning to 90 minutes. The lawsuit targets the Escambia County School Board's policies, which are crafted by Republican lawmakers and Gov. Ron DeSantis' administration, and how parents can raise objections about potentially inappropriate books.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.0C2m2kC0
Freedom of Speech and Access to Ideas: One of the core principles of the First Amendment is the protection of individuals’ rights to express themselves and access information. The lawsuit challenges the removal of books deemed "objectionable" by the school district, which can be seen as a form of censorship.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.selk-HbU
The Supreme Court has long recognized that schools have the authority to regulate curricula and materials to some extent, but that authority must be balanced against students. However schools can limit speech if it disrupts the educational environment. So I say they will protect his limit rights.
