Supreme Court to consider whether geofence warrants are constitutional - The Record
The Supreme Court said Friday that it will hear a case challenging the constitutionality of geofence warrants, which let law enforcement compel companies to provide the location data of cell phones at specific times and places.
The case centers on the trial of Okello Chatrie, a Virginia man who pleaded guilty to a 2019 robbery outside of Richmond and was sentenced to almost 12 years in prison for stealing $195,000 at gunpoint.
Police probing the crime found security camera footage showing a man on a cell phone near the credit union that was robbed and asked Google to produce anonymized location data near the robbery site so they could determine who committed the crime. They did so, providing police with subscriber data for three people, one of whom was Chatrie. Police then searched Chatrie’s home and allegedly surfaced a gun, almost $100,000 in cash and incriminating notes.

4th Circuit Upholds Most of Maryland’s Sweeping “Sensitive Places” Gun Ban - Ammoland.com
A federal appeals court has upheld most of Maryland’s Gun Rights Safety Act of 2023, allowing the state to ban firearms in a wide range of public locations, while striking down one key provision that would have effectively turned much of the state into default gun-free zones.
In a decision issued January 20, 2026, a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit ruled that most of the locations listed in Maryland’s law qualify as “sensitive places” under Supreme Court precedent.
The court rejected, however, Maryland’s attempt to prohibit firearms on private property that is open to the public unless the owner gives explicit permission .
What the Court Decided
Writing for the majority, Circuit Judge Roger L. Gregory said that the Supreme Court’s decisions in District of Columbia v. Heller and New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen allow governments to prohibit firearms in certain locations with historical analogies.

South Dakota Bill to Allow Gun Silencers as “UN-Controlled Weapons” Introduced - Ammoland.com
South Dakota – SB 2 has been introduced in the South Dakota legislature. It removes silencers from the list of “controlled weapons” in the state statutes. This bill effectively removes state regulation of silencers, but not federal regulation. From sdlegislature.gov:
Introduced by: Senator Crabtree: An Act to provide that a firearm silencer is not a controlled weapon. The Bill removes silencers from the definition of “Controlled weapon”. The definition is Section 1. § 22-1-2 (8).
The bill creates a new definition which removes silencers. Here is how the new definition would read:
(8) “Controlled weapon” includes machine gun and short shotgun as those terms are defined in subdivisions (17), (23), and (46) of this section but does not include a firearm silencer;
As you can see, South Dakota does not include short barreled rifles in their definition of “controlled weapons”. The definition of what a silencer is still exists in Section 1.§22-1-2 (17).
(17) “Firearm silencer,” any instrument, attachment, weapon or appliance for causing the firing of any gun, revolver, pistol, or other firearm to be silent, or intended to lessen or muffle the noise of the firing of any such weapon;
Because silencers are removed from the list of “controlled weapons”, they would no longer be banned from possession by most of the people in South Dakota. In effect, the law removes the state ban on the possession of silencers for everyone who may legally posses firearms in South Dakota. In the current law, an exemption exists for people who have a federal tax stamp for a particular silencer. The ban on short barreled rifles has already been removed from the statute.

Unusual Activity in the Sky at AREA 51 | Mystery Dorito Spotted - Uncanny Expeditions - Did a YOUTUBER just uncover America's most secret stealth jet?! - Sandboxx
All of the replies under this comment are very informative:
@Josh-d9t1w “fridge warm / hydrate” comms: this isn’t literal refueling slang. In test-range ops those terms are often code for system thermal state and sensor readiness. Stealth testing is extremely sensitive to skin temp, internal heat loads, fuel temp, and boundary-layer effects. “Fridge warm” probably means the system is outside its nominal thermal envelope; “hydrate” likely means the platform or instruments are stabilizing/cooling/pressurizing before the next run. Fueling could be involved but this sounds more like instrument/environmental conditioning, not tanker ops.
Now this makes it a little more interesting
