The pro-democracy newspaper Apple Daily was living proof of the freedoms Hong Kong once enjoyed. Now it is shutting down after police froze its accounts, raided its offices and arrested its top editors. ⁦@austinramzy⁩ ⁦@nytmay⁩ https://t.co/dJW2sUG7IJ — PolitiTweet.org

"Courts must be more skeptical of a school’s efforts to regulate off-campus speech, for doing so may mean the student cannot engage in that kind of speech at all," justices rule in cheerleader case. ⁦@adamliptak⁩ https://t.co/wADAc9lzG9 — PolitiTweet.org

Forty years ago, an anthrax bacteria emerged from a military lab in the Soviet Union and killed dozens of people. But leading US scientists endorsed Moscow's false cover story, showing how dictatorships can hide the truth. ⁦@antontroian⁩ https://t.co/JmBz13u7M3 — PolitiTweet.org

The new middle of the right-leaning court is no longer Roberts but Kavanaugh, who has voted with the majority in divided cases this term 87% of the time, more than any justice. In his total tenure, Kavanaugh has been in the majority 85%, the highest of any justice since 1953. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Baker @peterbakernyt

So far, a Supreme Court with six GOP appointees has not delivered results quite as expected: In divided cases this term, 64% of decisions have been labeled liberal, the highest since 1968. But that may change: 15 cases remain undecided. ⁦@adamliptak⁩ https://t.co/LcnfCMez3g — PolitiTweet.org
