These operations would be unlawful even if those murdered had all been criminals. But it's important to show just how much deception is involved from start to finish in this gruesome charade.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 95th day out of the last 107.

12 days of work in 107 days.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

There is something deeply broken about an economy that creates trillionaires while people get buried under the cost of living and 42 million go hungry. The ultra-rich should realize that my Billionaires Income Tax, aimed at ensuring they pay their fair share, represents the moderate path forward.

As if the SCOTUS decision wasn't bad enough, the 6th circuit said "hold my beer" and explicitly created a constitutional right to bully trans kids who are already at tremendous risk of self harm and suicide.

These judges want dead trans kids.

This case concerns an Executive Branch policy requiring
all new passports to display an individualโ€™s biological sex at
birth. The United States District Court for the District of
Massachusetts preliminarily enjoined the Government
from enforcing the policy, and the First Circuit declined to
stay the injunction pending appeal. The Government then

filed this stay application. Applying our familiar stay fac-
tors at this preliminary stage, we grant the application.

Displaying passport holdersโ€™ sex at birth no more offends
equal protection principles than displaying their country of
birthโ€”in both cases, the Government is merely attesting to
a historical fact without subjecting anyone to differential
treatment. And on this record, respondents have failed to
establish that the Governmentโ€™s choice to display biological
sex โ€œlack[s] any purpose other than a bare . . . desire to
harm a politically unpopular group.โ€ Trump v. Hawaii, 585
U. S. 667, 705 (2018) (internal quotation marks omitted).
Nor are respondents likely to prevail in arguing that the

State Department acted arbitrarily and capriciously by de-
clining to depart from Presidential rules that Congress ex-
pressly required it to follow. See 22 U. S. C. ยง211a.

Jury finds D.C. โ€˜sandwich guyโ€™ not guilty of assaulting officer Sean C. Dunn admitted he flung the hoagie at a federal agent. His attorneys called it a โ€œharmless gestureโ€ of protest as Trump commandeered D.C. police.

Breaking news: A jury acquitted a D.C. man who was charged with assault after throwing a sandwich at a federal agent.

The one-sided food fight became a slapstick symbol of resistance to President Trump's" summertime takeover of local law enforcement.

Jeffries: "This from a group of people who somehow found $40b to bail out their right-wing dictator friend in Argentina. Republicans put Argentina first. And they can't find a dime to extend ACA tax credits? That's part of the reason why Republicans were rejected all across the country, pummeled."

Pope Leo calls for โ€˜deep reflectionโ€™ about treatment of detained migrants in U.S. โ€œMany people who have lived for years and years and years, never causing problems, have been deeply affected by what is going on right now,โ€ Chicago-born pope says.

"Pope Leo said Scripture emphasizes the question that will be posed at the end of the world:

'How did you receive the foreigner, did you receive him and welcome him, or not? I think there is a deep reflection that needs to be made about what is happening'..."
