DOJ is supposed to be slow and deliberate when it makes decisions—take the time to get it right. It’s rare, in fact, I can’t remember any other time when we’ve seen the sort of whiplash change in position we’re seeing right now. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

"Where we are is actually where the American public is. They don't like the enforcement they're seeing... And look, we have, we have to be also very honest—yes, the border was messed up. Biden messed up the border."

In a 15-year David v. Goliath legal battle, homeowners who fell victim to predatory lenders finally prevailed when SCOTUS rejected the bank’s appeal.
I’m joined by the plaintiffs’ lawyers and they discuss why this decision is so important for communities of color.

In his most recent opinion, Justice Alito is essentially saying that districts drawn under the Voting Rights Act or other federal and state laws to remedy centuries of racial discrimination are as racist as the racism they were meant to rectify.

Secretary Marco Rubio claimed no one died as a result of cuts to USAID. That’s not what we found.
After Trump officials cut food aid to Kenya, children starved to death in an American-made hunger crisis.

The Deputy Attorney General just rescinded the policy against no knock warrants in most cases. That policy was an important public safety measure. Restricting their use saved lives. Breonna Taylor died because of one. www.cnn.com/2022/02/22/u...

DHS Secretary Kristi Noem testified that detainees receive medical attention within 12 hours.
That’s just plain false.

"People are sick of war, man. They're just so sick of war. It's okay for us to say this is not our war. This is not the timing for us to do this."
@gallego.senate.gov and @timmiller.bsky.social discuss how Democratic politicians should be talking about the war with Iran.
“In just over a year since taking office, Mr. Trump has authorized military action in seven nations, even after he repeatedly promised American voters that he would end, not start, wars.”

It’s a very, very, very dangerous thing for this country and for the entire world to have a cruel, idiotic, sociopathic madman in the White House.

White House's "War Powers Report" to Congress for attack on Iran.⬇️
Two conspicuous absences:
1. The word "imminent" appears nowhere. There is thus no justification in the Report for proceeding without prior congressional authorization.
2. No reference to wellbeing/protection of Iranian people.
For the first time in Trump Regime 2.0, a federal judge has held a DOJ lawyer in contempt of court for violating her orders.
My thoughts on why this should be recognized for its significance as the first step towards possibly throwing people in jail for noncompliance.

This perhaps more importantly squanders the Church’s legal goodwill. Authoritative opinions of theology can be material. At SCOTUS credibility is the coin of the realm. It’s unfortunate to see the USCCB throw theirs away with a theocratic Brandeis brief.
The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops files one (1) amicus brief telling the Supreme Court that the Citizenship Clause means what it says and Trad Cath Republicans start whining about theocracy lol

The Linear Man, an armored muscular man with a cybernetic eye who polices time, stand over a defeated Booster Gold and Superman while holding a very large rifle. - Adventures of Superman #476, Mar 1991 by Dan Jurgens & Brett Breeding w/ Glenn Whitmore
Phase One.
Superman spots Booster Gold under attack by a Linear Man.
During the struggle a time vortex opens and the Linear Man and Superman are pulled inside and disappear.
When Superman emerges, he is confronted by three kids; the teen founding members of the Legion of Super-Heroes.
Trump seems lost as to which lie he wants to tell. We are in a war on truth; but truth can win – if it finds friends.

how are poll respondents supposed to say whether they approve or disapprove of a war that was never given any publicly-discernible justification

Talarico’s style of politics could change the direction of the Democratic Party. But first, the peacemaker will have to prove that he can throw a punch.
