Rachel Borra, the department's chief human capital officer, said in the Friday filing that the department has stopped work on reductions in force. "Interior had intended on imminently abolishing positions in 68 competitive areas that include plaintiff bargaining unit employees," she said. "Among those streamlining efforts, Interior has been working on potential RIF plans since early this year," Borra wrote. "These planning efforts were begun long before the current lapse in appropriations and had nothing to do with the lapse in appropriations."

As is so often the case, Trump admin statements in court are the polar opposite of what they say publicly.

PUBLICLY, Trump & Vought say they’re firing federal workers because of the shutdown.

IN COURT, they said the firings have nothing to do with the shutdown.

Why China Built 162 Square Miles of Solar Panels on the World’s Highest Plateau

#California Bars ICE Agents From Wearing Masks in the State

Gov. Newsom signed a bill to prevent federal agents from concealing their identities with masks. The law is expected to face a legal challenge.
(N.B. Every unconstitutional EO that Miller writes & Trump signs has faced legal challenges)

The victims of school shootings don't get state funerals or medals of honour.
The three kids killed in the school shooting on the same day didn't even get a mention anywhere.

South Korea expresses concern over an immigration raid at Hyundai's Georgia plant "The business activities of our investors and the rights of our nationals must not be unjustly infringed," a foreign ministry spokesman said after about 300 South Koreans were detained.

Dear #AAPI community, don't for a second think that we are immune from the racist attacks on immigrants and safe from kidnapping and deportation.

Yesterday, ICE raided Hyundai and it's reported they rounded up 300 South Korean nationals.

The Arizona Supreme Court justice and rock star of the political right stood before a crowd of lawyers recently and rebuked "deeply disturbing" attacks on the American justice system coming from senior Trump administration officials. "It's almost dystopian. And when I think of people wrapping themselves in the Constitution while they are simultaneously doing violence to it ... it is really scary stuff," Bolick told those gathered at the May event hosted by Society for the Rule of Law, a right-of-center legal organization. Though he didn't name names, the speech showed an extraordinary level of openness for a Supreme Court justice, as justices typically refrain from commenting on public affairs to avoid perceptions of bias.

I just ate my phone.

Rep James Talarico exposed the truth behind Texas Republicans’ SB13: it’s not about “filth”, it’s about fear. The bill could ban Romeo & Juliet, Catcher in the Rye, even Lonesome Dove. They’re scrubbing shelves clean of anything that challenges, questions, or educates aka racism & ignorance.

Trisha Calvarese, candidate for CO-4, stands outside Lincoln Hospital in Hugo, CO.

Lincoln Hospital is the only hospital for a 165-mile stretch.

Rural hospitals don’t serve a lot of people. But they’re lifelines in communities that grow your food.

Food isn’t optional. Neither is keeping these hospitals open. And they depend on Medicare and Medicaid to survive. (1/3)

So dumb.
