Marshal shot by a dipshit ICE agent who misused his firearm to try to break into a car. Trained professionals don't use their firearms for this purpose for precisely such a reason.

1/ "Secondary Sanctions" - What are they, and how do they work?

Since Donald Trump is floating them against Russia's trading partners, and with absolutely no expectation he won't change his mind again next week and declare Zelenskyy the real villain, I thought I'd do a (long, sorry) explainer.

The devastation in Texas is heartbreaking. My heart is with those who have lost a loved one, especially those experiencing the loss of a child.

Minnesota stands with Texas and our administration has been in contact with officials on the ground to offer any help we can.

Much more indiscriminate, unilateral deconstruction of our government’s institutions to follow in weeks to come. Another pass given to Trump by SCOTUS.
Justice Jackson was correct. I am sorely confused by Sotomayor and Kagan on this ruling to rescind the stay of mass firings, and restructuring. The ruling was, ‘we have no specific case before us, so the lower courts should handle’. Jackson said,

Pay attention to this! Trump’s pushing Texas to redraw congressional maps ahead of 2026 midterms.

Why? Because Republicans can’t win unless they rig the game. They know their policies are unpopular.

Texas’ history of voter suppression and partisan redistricting is how Republicans hold power…

Def does not qualify as a separation of church and state.
The double standard here is stunning. Universities are losing grants, student aid, and endowments for being "too woke." But churches (which also receive federal funds, eg, for school vouchers, food banks, and marriage promotion programs) are now allowed to openly endorse political candidates.
