The Supreme Court has cleared the way for a veteran who was gravely injured by a suicide bomber in Afghanistan to sue the U.S. government contractor that employed the bomber, a case that could pave the way for soldiers hurt in combat zones to seek legal recourse.
In 2016, Army Spc. Winston Hencely stopped a man who was walking toward a Veterans Day 5K race at the U.S. air base in Bagram, Afghanistan, when the man detonated a suicide vest, killing five people and wounding more than a dozen others.
Hencely, 20 at the time, was hailed by the Army as likely having prevented “a far greater tragedy” and was left partially paralyzed with a fractured skull and traumatic brain injury.
The suicide bomber, a Taliban operative named Ahmad Nayeb, was working for the Texas-based Fluor Corporation as a military contractor after having been approved as a local hire by the military.
An Army investigation into the incident deemed Fluor was primarily responsible for the attack because it did not properly supervise Nayeb, failed to impose adequate disciplinary measures despite several previous fireable offenses and did not properly enforce security measures at the base, which allowed him to "go undetected" for nearly an hour before the attack.
Hencely sued Fluor in federal court, but the U.S. Fourth Circuit Court ruled military contractors were protected from prosecution, just like the federal government.
In writing for the majority, Justice Clarence Thomas on Wednesday disagreed with the Fourth Circuit decision, arguing that because Fluor’s management of Nayeb was not authorized by the federal government, it was not protected by the existing law.
The 6-3 ruling tosses out the initial ruling and sends Hencely’s case back to the Fourth Circuit for reconsideration.
Justices Samuel Alito, John Roberts and Brett Kavanaugh argued in their dissent the case may encroach on the government’s wartime decision making. Because it was the U.S. military that deemed Nayeb to be hirable, saying a jury may have to decide if Hencely’s injuries were the fault of “negligence or bad judgment of military decision makers," which could influence wartime decisions in the future.
In most situations, veterans can’t sue the U.S. military for injuries connected to their service—even if those injuries were caused by mistakes or negligence. That precedent comes mostly from the Feres Doctrine, a 1950 Supreme Court case that decided the government is not liable for injuries that are "incident to service."

Joe Rogan, the most listened-to podcaster in the United States, joined President Donald Trump at the White House on Saturday as he signed an executive order loosening restrictions on psychedelics, even after Rogan has become a prominent critic of the Iran war and the Trump administration's handling of the Epstein files.
Rogan stood behind Trump and briefly spoke at the Oval Office on Saturday morning, as Trump signed an executive order that would hasten research into psychedelic drugs.
The podcast host said at the White House that he had previously texted Trump about ibogaine, an illegal psychedelic drug that advocates say can help treat opioid addiction and post-traumatic stress disorder, though critics say it can cause heart problems.
Rogan said Trump quickly texted back, “Sounds great. Do you want FDA approval? Let’s do it.”
Rogan’s appearance follows weeks of the podcaster—who endorsed Trump in 2024—stepping up criticism of the president over the war in Iran and the administration’s handling of the Epstein files release.
Trump appeared to allude to Rogan’s increasing criticism of his administration, saying, “We all respect Joe. He’s a little bit more liberal than I am,” to laughter in the room.
What Has Rogan Said About Trump In Recent Weeks?
Rogan is a frequent critic of the war on Iran, and he has suggested Trump violated his campaign promise of “America First” by launching the conflict. “It’s terrifying and it's exactly the opposite of what we were told leading into this administration,” he said in an episode last month. Rogan blamed “unnecessary aggression by the United States government” and suggested the Iran conflict could get “really ugly, because that’s how you start a World War III.” Rogan hosted Theo Von, another popular podcaster who also interviewed Trump in 2024, on his show earlier this month, in which both Rogan and Von criticized the Iran war. “I can’t believe we went to this war. When we started bombing Iran, I was like, ‘This can’t be true,’” Rogan said. Rogan also ripped into the MAGA movement in a March episode, alleging “a lot” of the Trump movement’s members are “really weird, uninteresting, unintelligent people” and “f—ing dorks” who are lumped together with some “real, genuine patriots.” In that episode, he said he does not identify as either right or left wing, and in another episode weeks later, he declared himself “politically homeless,” saying the United States needs a “logical centrist government.”
Rogan has reigned as the top podcaster in the United States for years. Edison Research, a market intelligence firm that tracks the most listened-to podcasts among U.S. listeners, said Friday that “The Joe Rogan Experience” was the No. 1 podcast in the first quarter of 2026, and that Rogan has held the top spot since 2019. Nearly 80% of Rogan’s audience is male, according to Edison Research
Rogan interviewed Trump in 2024 and endorsed his presidential bid, in what was concdered crucial for Trump to broaden his appeal among young male voters. He was one of several podcasters considered part of the “manosphere”—a loosely defined group of influencers who appeal to young men with a conservative tilt—to either interview or back Trump’s White House run. Rogan, though, criticized Trump over the Epstein files and his administration’s immigration raids last year. He criticized the killings of American citizens Alex Pretti and Renee Good by immigration authorities, and he suggested in July Trump’s immigration raids were “crazy” and an “overcorrection.” Rogan in February slammed redactions on the Epstein files released by the Justice Department, saying it “looks terrible” for Trump, and he previously questioned whether the administration’s aggressive immigration raid campaign was a distraction from the Epstein scandal.

President Donald Trump said Iran “can’t blackmail us” early Saturday as the country reimposes control over the Strait of Hormuz in response to a U.S. blockade, though he claimed talks with Iran are “working out very well.”
Trump, speaking with reporters at the Oval Office Saturday morning, said Iran “got a little cute” and “wanted to close up the strait again…as they've been doing for years,” hours after Iran said it would reinforce “strict control” over passage through the vital waterway.
Trump, though, said the United States and Iran have “very good conversations going on. It's working out very well,” suggesting he will “have some information by the end of the day.”
Earlier Saturday, as Iran reimposed control over the Strait of Hormuz, the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations Centre said a tanker was approached by gunboats operated by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps, which then fired upon the tanker, though the crew and ship were reported safe.
Hours later, the UKMTO said a container ship was struck by an unknown projectile, causing damage to some containers.
A handful of ships crossed the Strait of Hormuz early Saturday, before Iran said it would reimpose restrictions on crossing the shipping waterway, though in the hours since, nearly two dozen ships have turned back, the Wall Street Journal reported.
The U.S. blockade on Iranian ports, which started earlier this week, has forced 23 ships to turn around, U.S. Central Command said Saturday morning in a post on X.
Why Is The Strait Of Hormuz Closed Again?
Iran’s foreign minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi said Friday in a post on X the Strait of Hormuz was declared “completely open” for shipping for the duration of the ceasefire in Lebanon, though he said ships must pass through a “coordinated route.” Trump, in posts on Truth Social on Friday, celebrated the opening of Hormuz and claimed “Iran has agreed to never close the Strait of Hormuz again,” but he said the U.S. blockade on Iran’s ports would continue until the two countries struck a finalized deal to end the war. Trump announced the blockade earlier this week, putting economic pressure on Tehran to expedite a deal to end the war. But early Saturday, a spokesperson for Iran’s Khatam al-Anbiya military command said control over the Strait of Hormuz has “returned to its previous state, and this strategic waterway is now under strict management and control of the armed forces,” blaming the U.S. blockade. “Until America allows full freedom of navigation for vessels traveling from Iran to destinations and vice versa, the situation in the Strait of Hormuz will remain under strict control,” the Iranian military said.
French President Emmanuel Macron said Saturday a French United Nations peacekeeper was killed and three others were injured after an attack by “non-state actors” in Lebanon, suggesting Hezbollah was responsible. Macron identified the killed soldier as Staff Sgt. Florian Montorio. “France demands that the Lebanese authorities immediately arrest those responsible and assume their responsibilities alongside UNIFIL,” the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon, Macron said. The attack occurred during a 10-day ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon, which Hezbollah voiced a “cautious commitment” to on Friday.

Crypto stocks including Strategy, Robinhood and Coinbase rose Friday as bitcoin prices broke a two month high, following the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.
The price of bitcoin, which stalled below $76,000 all week, topped $78,000 Friday morning, reaching a two-month high.
Strategy was up as much as 16%, while Robinhood and Coinbase stocks are up around 6% Friday—with all three stocks climbing around 30% this week.
The surges are part of a broader stock market rally after Iran announced it would reopen the Strait of Hormuz on Friday, with major indexes including the S&P 500 and NASDAQ reaching record highs.
Strategy, a bitcoin treasury run by billionaire Michael Saylor (net worth: $4.9 billion), has purchased $1 billion worth of the cryptocurrency in the last two weeks, bringing the company’s holdings to 780,897 BTC worth more than $60 billion today.
The price of Ethereum, XRP and Solana are up around 10% this week.
Crypto prices are climbing following a “crypto winter” that slashed the price of bitcoin by nearly 50% from an all-time high of around $125,000 in October 2025 to around $63,000 in February—a prolonged slide that accelerated as the outbreak of the U.S.-Iran war rattled global risk appetite. The crypto downturn punished players like Strategy, which reported that it lost nearly $14.5 billion in value in the quarter ending March. This isn’t crypto’s first winter: The first came in 2018, when bitcoin crashed from nearly $20,000 to around $3,000 after the crypto craze collapsed under the weight of fraud, regulatory crackdowns and the realization that most projects had no real utility—wiping out roughly 85% of bitcoin's value. The second and most structurally damaging winter arrived in 2022, when the implosion of cryptocurrency ecosystem Terra Luna set off a chain reaction that ultimately took down FTX, the world's second-largest crypto exchange, and led to the highly-publicized arrest of founder Sam Bankman-Fried. At the time, bitcoin bottomed near $15,500, down about 77% from its 2021 peak. The pattern across crypto winters has left the industry spending the subsequent years rebuilding trust and lobbying for regulatory clarity—such as the CLARITY Act currently moving through the Senate—in hopes to prevent the next one. Since February’s lows, the crypto market has since staged a recovery on ceasefire optimism and renewed regulatory tailwinds, but investors are still uncertain whether this winter is truly over or just thawing.
$1.6 trillion. That’s bitcoin’s current market cap. It is the largest cryptocurrency by a large margin. The second-largest cryptocurrency, Ethereum, hovers around $2,000 per token.
Another reason for rising crypto prices is the renewed optimism around the regulatory environment. Thanks to the crypto-friendly Trump administration, Washington has been working on writing rules for the industry after years of confusion, although progress has stalled in the past year. The current centerpiece is the CLARITY Act, a bill that would draw a clear map of which crypto assets are regulated by the SEC and which fall under the more crypto-friendly CFTC. The bill's precursor, the GENIUS Act, passed the Senate and House by July 2025, establishing the first federal framework. The broader CLARITY Act followed, passing the House in July 2025, before stalling in the Senate for nearly a year. In January, the Senate Banking Committee was scheduled to advance the bill, but momentum collapsed when key industry players withdrew support over a proposed ban on stablecoin interest payments—banks argued that letting crypto platforms pay yield on stablecoins would harm traditional lenders. The bill sat frozen from January through mid-March with the Senate pushing back the markup hearing multiple times.
Coinbase's chief policy officer said on Thursday he predicts a Senate Banking Committee markup in April and a full floor vote in May—analysts warn that if it doesn't clear committee this month, the probability of passing legislation in 2026 at all drops to extremely low levels as midterm election politics consume the Senate's calendar. On April 14, a White House adviser confirmed a compromise has been reached on the long-standing stablecoin yield dispute—the core issue that had been blocking the bill since January. The Senate Banking Committee is now planning a markup session in late April.$GTC $PHB $PORTAL
