Justice Clarence Thomas renews push to overturn New York Times v. Sullivan, the 62-year-old ruling protecting press freedom

Justice Clarence Thomas once again called on the Supreme Court to reconsider its 1964 ruling in New York Times Co. v. Sullivan, the decision that established the "actual malice" standard and fundamentally reshaped American defamation law. The dissent came Monday when the Court declined to hear Dershowitz v. Cable News Network, a $300 million defamation case brought by retired Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz stemming from CNN's coverage of Trump's first Senate impeachment trial. Justices Thomas and Gorsuch both dissented, but no other member of the Court has shown interest in revisiting Sullivan, and overturning the precedent would require at least five votes. Thomas has been making this argument since at least 2019, and analysts note the repeated cert denials suggest a majority is simply not interested in reopening the question.

Ms Rachel, an American educator who makes content for children, posted a video holding a copy of the latest UN report on Gaza titled "The essence of children has been destroyed".

In the video, Ms Rachel denounces leaders who did not intervene to protect the children of Gaza during the genocide inflicted by Israel. She asked, addressing them: "You didn't want to lose your reputation, or power, or money? How can you sleep at night?"

The UN report, which is the product of the Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory, describes the "deliberate targeting and killing of Palestinian children, including post-ceasefire since the October 2025 Gaza peace plan."

Months after his release from Israeli prison, Mohammad Abou Moussa says the day of his detention was one of the hardest he's been through.

"The day of detention when I was forced to strip naked, take off all of my clothes in front of everyone, especially my family and my kids ... The picture of their father as their source of security was shattered that day when they were looking at me".

Abou Moussa was arrested only a few months after his youngest son, Yousset, was killed in an Israeli strike on their home.

And while he was lucky enough to have been released, at least 14 Palestinian doctors remain in Israeli detention without charge for over a year. Among them is Dr Hussam Abu Safiya, director of Gaza's Kamal Adwan Hospital, whose appeal for release was rejected by the Supreme Court last week.
