In a victory for the LGBTQ+ community––and everyone who believes in our Constitution and the rule of law––the U.S. Supreme Court affirmed that marriage equality is the law of the land.

Wild guess here: the jabronis running DHS may have been hit by an enormous instance of wire fraud that everyone is embarrassed to admit

The WSJ on how unbelievably stupid Noem and Lewandowski are.

I don’t care that I’m late to this; it’s to good to pass up.

www.wsj.com/politics/pol...
More broadly, officials across ICE say Noem and Lewandowski have directed them to use a $170 billion infusion of cash from Congress to launch splashy ideas that have proven ineffective or impractical. Among the examples some ICE officials have cited: A few weeks ago, the pair ordered ICE officials to buy 10 737 jets from Spirit Airlines that they said would be used to boost deportation flights— and for their own travel, according to people familiar with the matter. Some officials warned the pair that the effort would be prohibitively expensive compared with hiring more flight contractors, the people said. Once the officials looked into the proposal, they learned that Spirit, which filed for bankruptcy for a second time in August, didn't own the planes. The planes also don't have engines, which would need to be purchased separately. The project has since been put on pause, though DHS recently purchased two Gulfstream jets for $200 million, according to Democrats on the House Appropriations Committee, who were notified by the department. A spokesperson for Spirit didn't respond to a request for comment.

This is *not* the same as a full Supreme Court ruling - it is another step in the legal process. We’ll share updates and guidances around this policy from our legal partners as soon as we can.

The policy requires that gender markers on passports reflect the sex displayed on a person’s original birth certificate. This halts a lower court decision that prevented the policy from going into effect while the lawsuit moved through the courts.

It's nice to have some good news. This feels pretty big. Very happy to see a successful conversion of thorium into uranium in a molten salt reactor.
China found in U.S. archives an energy source that could power its future for 20,000 years - and made it work
