| A Cynical Challenge to the ACA
Jeffrey Toobin, The New Yorker
Toobin writes: "This week, the Court will hear arguments in a momentous case, King v. Burwell, a challenge to a central feature of the Affordable Care Act. But, in contrast to other landmarks in Supreme Court history, the King case is notable mostly for the cynicism at its heart. Instead of grandeur, there is a smallness about this lawsuit in every way except in the stakes riding on its outcome."

The Black
Lives Matter Movement Needs the Black Panthers
Deena Guzder, Al Jazeera America
Guzder writes: "Protests over police killings of unarmed African-Americans continue to erupt across the nation, largely thanks to the organizing efforts of the Black Lives Matter movement.
