The White House has ordered the US Dept. of Justice to prioritize denaturalization: voiding the citizenship of US citizens.

Who will it denaturalize? "Any" case that it "determines to be sufficiently important".

Point 10 leaves the criteria opaque and arbitrary.

Unanimous Supreme Court makes it easier to sue schools in disability cases Chief Justice John Roberts wrote the unanimous opinion, with Justice Clarence Thomas, joined by Justice Brett Kavanaugh, and Justice Sonia Sotomayor, joined by Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson writing separate concurring opinions.

The Supreme Court, in a narrow ruling, made it easier for students with disabilities to sue to enforce their rights under the ADA and other laws.

Kali Uchis pours her heart into new album 'Sincerely' Kali Uchis wrote the album that she knew her future self would need to listen to. β€œSincerely,” began as a collection of letters to herself, friends and loved ones but took on a deeper meaning as the Colombian American songwriter gave birth to her first child and dealt with her mother's death.

one of my favorite dynamics in the current NBA is that Jayson Tatum is close enough to being a top 5 kind of player that it really drives Celtics fans insane that he isn’t one

AOC: Tom Homan said he was going to refer me to DOJ because I’m using my free speech rights in order to advise people of their constitutional protections… to that I say: Come for me… Do I look like I care?

There’s nothing illegal about it and if they want to make it illegal, they can come take me.

60 Minutes Isn’t Backing Down From Trump’s Threats The news magazine is under fire from the president, but it’s still airing critical segments about his regime.

CBS’s flagship show 60 Minutes is upping the ante in its fight for a free press.

The show’s upcoming Sunday segment will focus on how the Trump administration has targeted law firms in an apparent quest to punish opposition.

I know, norms and all that, but the default Dem position should be:

We think this is illegal but if the courts say you can do this then we are going to rip the guts out of the entire conservative movement. No more Heritage, FedSoc, etc. All of them lose their tax exempt status.

May Day is not officially acknowledged in the U.S. because of what historians say is an ongoing resistance to unity among the working class. This resistance is prompting protesters to take action on Thursday, regardless.

"We had 100 days of your leadership, with respect, with strength."

Yesterday Walz was fawning over Trump, at the North Korea cabinet meeting.

Today Trump fired Walz.

They never learn, the Trump sycophants. Never. He'll always throw you under the bus.

β€˜60 Minutes’ Chief Resigns in Emotional Meeting: β€˜The Company Is Done With Me’ The news program has faced mounting pressure from both President Trump and its corporate ownership at Paramount, the parent company of CBS News.

By attempting to silence CBS, Trump is trying to punish the free press and crush any institution that holds him accountable. This is the authoritarian playbook. The FCC
cannot become the President’s speech police.

Big shot from Andrew Nembhard. These have been the shots that have just thrown the Bucks over the top rope. Good switch, Nembhard gets right to his stepback.

Lakers still using their talent but mixing in off ball movement. Go with their "Horns 3" action, Luka catches at the Elbow, Reaves cuts off LeBron. That goes right into a catch and shoot for LeBron from 3.
