CNN: "Another photograph - these are notes AG Bondi brought to the hearing today. This shows a list of Rep. Jayapal's search history. Lawmakers are allowed to go to a DOJ facility to search unredacted files. We learned from this photo that the searches are apparently being tracked & read by the DOJ"

In Printz v. United States, #SCOTUS held that the Constitution bars the federal government from forcing or otherwise compelling local or state governments to enforce federal law.
The liberal squish who wrote the majority opinion in that case? Justice Antonin Scalia:

Hakeem Jeffries has made himself an embarrassment. he just engineered the passage fo the DHS funding bill by claiming to be against it, but giuving his caucus tacit approval to pass it. Now he's against it again? Fuck Jeffries, he needs to go.
NEW: House Democratic Leaders Jeffries, Clark and Aguilar say in a joint statement, "Kristi Noem should be fired immediately, or we will commence impeachment proceedings in the House of Representatives."
"We can do this the easy way or the hard way."

So, if there really is a difference between MAGA, and the Republicans, and the Democrats, and progressives, why is is that the same fucking talking heads pretend they are part of all four movements at various times?

We evacuated our kids out of Minneapolis this weekend and my spouse reports that as she drove them out of town she saw "multiple freeway exits where people are being pulled over." It feels like the Twin Cities is being subjugated by a hostile occupying force.

This is called murder.
It looks like a cold-blooding killing by an ICE agent to a person who wasn’t doing anything to them.
This is the video.

And Dem candidates who disagree with this, will NOT get my support or my vote.
Masked ICE agents, it seems, are now killing American citizens on American streets.
Any Democrat who doesn’t support abolishing ICE should be instantly primaried and run out of the party.
This is non negotiable. You cannot support the continued existence of this fascist murderous secret police.

If the US holds Venezuela, we will seize 17% of oil -- yesterday's technology. If China uses this precedent to take Taiwan, it will own 60% of semiconductors -- tomorrow's technology. See what happens when you elect evil & stupid at the same time?

How the hell does one "teach" American law any more?
Is it presented to students as a purely aspirational method of reasoning? It would be entirely improper to utter any sentence that starts with "the law prohibits anyone from _________." How exactly does one teach statutory construction?

Is there ANYONE in America who still thinks the rule of law has not been utterly abandoned? The very phrase is being distorted by the utter lawlessness of the American government.

The right wing, its bots, and its bought-and-paid-for media have new talking points this week. The essence of their complaint is "challenging the acts of fascists in the admin might result in doing harm to our political system." That's really one of their bits this week,

Trump thinks that it is a "positive" that he put millions of workers out of work. He especiallyh thinks it is a positive that he fired, "by numbers that have never been seen before" the public servants who care for our veterans, public lands, infrastructure, and implement the laws of the US.
Trump: "The only reason our unemployment tucked up and went up to 4.5 percent [it's actually 4.6 percent] is because we are reducing the government workforce by numbers that have never been seen before."

Do NOT allow workers rights to be an excuse for racism.
Author of the article should be fighting for a Cinnabon union, NOT defending misconduct. They're right that all workers deserve job protections, but picking the worst possible case is a way to HARM and LIBEL the fight for workers.

This is written with a child’s (lack of) understanding of workers rights, at-will employment, and human dignity. As someone who has argued forever against at-will employment and for workers’ right to dignity, it is dismaying but not surprising to see the worst version of an important argument here
“Those of us on the left should be fighting to improve protections for workers of all races, and thereby for the betterment of people’s material conditions regardless of their views,” Arash Azizi argues:

If FIFA had any credibility left, it would have lost it with the FIFA Peace Prize absurdity. I understand they just want to keep Trump from screwing up the tourney, but they're really just showing the extent to which they exist to serve the rich.

Been studying and practicing the law since 1991. American law is currently entirely broken and out of touch with the needs of the nation. SCOTUS needs a complete redesign, not just packing.

So, the Regime is refusing to release the October economic data compiled by its own statisticians, but the Regime's social media accounts (e.g., "The White House" on FB, IG) are republishing "optimistic" reports from private sector trade groups about how great things are.
