🎧 NPR’s Carrie Johnson tells Up First that some lawyers she spoke with wonder if this case will ever get to trial. This is because, under Supreme Court precedent, prosecutors must prove that Comey understood the threatening nature of his post. So far, the evidence shows that Comey believed this was political speech protected by the First Amendment. The Justice Department says it is treating Comey like everyone else, but evidence suggests otherwise, Johnson says. She points to posts from the president demanding that Comey and others who investigated him be prosecuted.

🎧 Every president except for Trump has supported TPS, according to NPR’s Nina Totenberg. Haiti and Syria are two test cases in Trump's effort to get rid of the program. Haitians received temporary protected status after a devastating earthquake killed more than 300,000 people in 2010. To this day, the country suffers from cholera epidemics, roving gangs and no functioning government. In Syria, a relatively small group of 7,000 received temporary protected status because of the civil war and Israeli bombing attacks. TPS status holders must renew every 18 months. The Trump administration argues that, under the 1990 TPS statute, none of these judgments is subject to review by the courts. Lawyers for TPS recipients counter that the Trump administration has failed to comply with the procedures mandated by federal law. 

➡️ The Supreme Court justices are also set to hear arguments today in a battle over drug patents that could raise prescription drug costs and change how generic companies do business.

🎧 Charles delivered a clear message with his speech: The U.S. and its European allies are stronger together. "We must not disregard everything that has sustained us for the last 80 years. Instead, we must build on it," he said. NPR's Elena Moore says the message counters a growing appetite for isolationist policies in the U.S. Trump has long been critical of European leaders and NATO. While the president has repeatedly praised the king, Trump has recently been increasingly vocal about his displeasure with the U.K.'s Prime Minister Keir Starmer. Trump has argued that the U.K. has not provided sufficient military support in the Iran war. It’s the latest gripe he has with NATO countries more broadly, and he’s previously said he’d consider withdrawing the U.S. from the alliance. So even though the royals may only have soft power, hearing Charles advocate for NATO like that is striking, Moore says.
