The shift stems from the Supreme Court’s 5-4 decision in, which in 2020 held that the reservation of the Muscogee nation, an Indian tribe, had not been legally dissolved by Congress. That gave the tribe jurisdiction over members who commit crimes there.

Man Dies After Setting Himself on Fire Outside Supreme CourtThe incident occurred just hours after four people were shot in the nation's capital 7 paragraphs about a shooting, 1 paragraph about the guy setting himself on fire. WTF? Disappointing.. I was ready to read the story on why this guy self-immolated. Example, his beliefs, why he did it, and maybe other stuff you would've included in the bio, but no.

Death sentence tossed in murders of dad, stepmom, stepsisterThe California Supreme Court has reversed the death sentence for a Los Angeles man who was twice convicted of murdering his father, stepmother and 8-year-old stepsister in 1982 Zelenskiy says…Zelenskiy says… you are voice of fasist Zelenskiy? Must know what say all sides... 'Tossed'. Tossed? Really? Seems a casually dismissive word to use in relation to multiple murder. I suggest your copy editor develops some sensitivity to the nuance of words. One tosses a ball, not a sentence.
