I used to mostly read on my commute and it's been a few years, but the most approachable is probably https://abovethelaw.com/ https://abovethelaw.com/. It has quite a bit of fluff and humor mixed in.
Popehat is usually quite good, especially when there's some kind of nonsense narrative going around. Good debunking explainers https://www.popehat.com/ https://www.popehat.com/
Volokh conspiracy has very good analysis of current events as well: https://reason.com/volokh/ https://reason.com/volokh/ (was at WaPo, was independent before that. I haven't read it in a while)
There's a lot of other really great stuff around as well, like the lw blog collection: https://www.lw.com/blogs https://www.lw.com/blogs

Sometimes it's "yes, this is actually quite big"; other times it's "this is a breathless depiction of something that happens 20 times a day and is entirely normal procedure".
