Court papers say ex-Virginia election official on trial 'altered election results' in 2020 election
Former Prince William County general registrar Michele White was indicted by a grand jury on two felony counts alleging corrupt conduct as an election official and making a false statement, and one misdemeanor charge of willful neglect of duty by an election officer last year. She has filed for a "Bill of Particulars" which requires prosecutors to provide more detail about her alleged wrongdoing.

X's lawsuit against Media Matters may come down to intent, proof of damages, legal experts say
The company has asked the court to order the deletion of the original Media Matters article, that they pay X the cost of litigation, and to award X actual and consequential damages. That last part may be Musk's highest hurdle.
Last week, X owner Elon Musk made good on his promise to go "thermonuclear" on Media Matters for America (MMFA) after the self-described watchdog group published an article asserting that the company was positioning ads for major companies next to pro-Nazi and otherwise hateful content.
Earlier this month, Media Matters for America published an article titled "As Musk endorses antisemitic conspiracy theory, X has been placing ads for Apple, Bravo, IBM, Oracle, and Xfinity next to pro-Nazi content." Included in the piece were screenshots of ads for X's major advertisers, including Apple, Comcast, Oracle, and IBM, next to explicitly pro-Nazi or otherwise offensive material.
X subsequently filed suit, alleging that MMFA deliberately manipulated its algorithms to bypass existing safeguards for advertisers to prevent such pairings and instead intentionally created the false impression that such occurrences were pervasive on the platform. MMFA omitted its manicured search methodology from the article.

Idaho asks Supreme Court to stop federal government from using ER as 'enclave' for abortions
Idaho is asking the Supreme Court to intervene and allow the state to enforce its pro-life law despite the Biden Administration's efforts to block it by allowing abortions in emergency rooms, according to court documents.
The Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act is meant to ensure that all patients who request emergency room treatment are examined, but Idaho argued in its court filing Monday that the law turns "protection for the uninsured into a federal super-statute on the issue of abortion, one that strips Idaho of its sovereign interest in protecting innocent human life and turns emergency rooms into a federal enclave where state standards of care do not apply."
