Another failed defamation case, this time by @LauraLoomer. DOA from the outset, her lawyer got the law wrong; her testimony conflicted with her pleadings; & that pesky "actual malice" standard again. My full take here: bit.ly/4tAAAe6 Order: bit.ly/41VDRbA

Patel's own lawyer tweeted out this AP news story which includes this short primer. (story: reuters.com/world/fbi-dire…)

I'll take "Florida Lawyers Who Don't Understand the 'Actual Malice' Standard in Defamation Suits" for $100.

Scheindlin v. Accelerate 360, LLC, (M.D. Fla. Apr. 16, 2026). The key discussion is screenshotted, the entire order is here: bit.ly/4dU5tVL

If you are going to hire a lawyer to file a defamation suit, make sure that lawyer understands the different types of defamation and the varying standards which apply.

Judge Judy Just Lost a Defamation Case. Here's Why It Matters. Judge Judy sued the publishers of the National Enquirer and In Touch Weekly for defamation. The federal court called the reporting "baloney" and "crappy journalism." And she still lost.

@TheAtlanticPR @CrayonMurders Unless a comment mentions “actual malice,” you can disregard any hot take on what’s going to happen with this suit.

Statement from The Atlantic:

Are you interested in home distilling bourbon or whiskey in South Florida? A group challenged the federal home distilling ban in Texas and won. I'm looking for home distillers and perhaps co-counsel who want to make the challenge in Florida. Opin here: lnkd.in/eQgM6KtJ

Thrilled to see Law .com & Daily Business Review feature our defense win in Tate Brothers defamation case. Palm Beach Court dismissed the suit for lack of jurisdiction, reinforcing important protections for out-of-state speakers & online commentary. Read:lnkd.in/eRz8DBv7

2026 may bring more “mailbox rule” disputes in contracts and long lines at the post office. For lawyers and business clients, watch those “postal timing” requirements in your settlement payment plans and overall contracts. cnbc.com/2025/12/31/usp…

@MattJury_Law @CrayonMurders @Gadget440 Very thoughtful, thank you! I’m grateful for your confidence and trust and the ability to defend your rights to speak. My pleasure @MattJury_Law @CrayonMurders @Gadget440 @Therealsuzywyn1

Thank you to @cbhopkins for his impeccable advice and representation The right lawyer, the right decision I also want to credit my co-parties, including @CrayonMurders and @Gadget440, for standing firm throughout the process It’s said, “You can easily judge the character of a man by how he treats those who can do nothing for him” Crayon, Gadget and others epitomise this. They do the work they do in the interest of others, ask nothing for it, have nothing to gain and everything to lose We should learn from that, rather than from lessons on disdain, division and disinformation shilled by this platform’s grifters for fleeting fame and an easy buck
