Cornell Settles With the Trump Administration Cornell will pay out $30 million and invest another $30 million in agricultural research. In exchange the federal government will restore research funding and close investigations.

Sad to see Cornell capitulating to Trump, even though there's been no finding Cornell violated civil rights law. As I've said before, we must address antisemitism on campus - we also must protect academic freedom & freedom of speech. www.insidehighered.com/news/governm... (1/2)

Union demands action after nurse allegedly strangled by patient at Ohio hospital Ohio’s top nursing union is demanding action after a nurse was allegedly strangled by a patient at the Ohio State University Hospital.

Ohio Nurses Association President Rick Lucas is right. No one should have to fear for their safety on the job. Workplace violence prevention programs work when healthcare employers work with frontline workers and the union to reduce the risk of violence. www.wric.com/news/union-d...

(My sister) @lawyeroyer.com tells @maddow.msnbc.com
that Trump is testing the limits of constitutional pardon power. Current pardon attorney Ed Martin's mantra is 'no maga left behind.'

@maddow.msnbc.com to Liz: The contrast between your service and what Ed Martin is doing could not be more stark.

Figure showing that, starting in 2020, voters of color became more likely than white voters to cast their ballots by mail

A lot of news today, but don't miss the two big threats-to-democracy ones:

1. SCOTUS will decide whether states can count ballots post marked by, but received after, election day. Given vote-mode polarization in recent years, this could matter a lot

UPDATE: The Senate votes 53-47 to shoot down the Baldwin amendment to extend ACA funds for 1 year. A party-line vote with every Republican rejecting it.

What the hell is the point of the filibuster if not to prevent something like this? I'm at a loss for words.

JFC is this bad. Straight up cash transfer to the shadiest Republican senators and an assault on the rule of law.

And, as a result, you know, the government and GEO cite the Nwauzor case in the Ninth Circuit, where the State of Washington sought to impose its minimum wage law on GEO's operation of the Voluntary Work Program. The Ninth Circuit said that was A-okay. Cert petition coming. But the -- the government in the meantime suspended, as Judge Bumatay noted in dissent from denial, suspended the operation of the Voluntary Work Program at that facility. The point here is that it's not strictly monetary, Justice Barrett.

This also goes to the operation of policy. That is determination that having a Voluntary Work Program that reduces idleness and encourages, you know, cooperation and -- and reduces disciplinary incidents is a good penological policy, has been suspended at that facility exclusively because of the crushing liability that's coming for the contractors.

Of course, as the lawyer for GEO reminded the Justices, this is about a very real-world issue; the fact that lawyers have been successful in throwing sand in the deportation machine's gears is bad for their profit and thus bad for ICE.

The merits of one of those cases may go to the Court next year.

ICE agent wounds deputy U.S. marshal and TikTok streamer, who is charged with assault Carlitos Ricardo Parias was charged Tuesday night with assault on a federal officer after the immigration operation in L.A. in which the suspect and a U.S. marshal were injured.

Even though this happened two weeks ago I just saw it. ICE shoot a US Marshall. This is how untrained these idiots are.
