This is a good example of how legacy media (Washington Post) covers a story versus how Democracy Docket does.

If you value independent, pro-democracy media, consider supporting Democracy Docket now. newsletters.democracydocket.com/member-meblu...

Yup. Dem senators joined Republicans in the bad smearing of Muslim American judge Manjee who nominated by Biden. Well done. Brilliant work.
Emil Bove got confirmed because Cortez-Masto hates muslims.

reupping this piece, since the seat that Emil Bove just filled could have been filled by Adeel Mangi last year
Adeel Mangi would have been the first Muslim judge on a federal appeals court but for Republicans' relentless Islamophobic attacks and Democrats' failure to defend him from them

I wrote about a remarkable letter Mangi published Monday in which he defended himself

It’s a simple fact that Democrats could have filled Emil Bove’s seat with a qualified lawyer who would have been the first Muslim appeals court judge. The GOP responded with rank Islamophobia, and Dems waved the white flag. I expect more of my elected officials than this. If you don’t, that’s on you
Senate Democrats’ Abandonment of Adeel Mangi Made Emil Bove’s Confirmation Possible
Senate Democrats could have confirmed Biden nominee Adeel Mangi to the Third Circuit last year. They caved to a disgraceful right-wing smear campaign instead.

Emil Bove's confirmation was only possible because Democrats caved to a vile right-wing smear campaign of Adeel Mangi, who would have been the first Muslim appeals court judge, when Biden nominated him for the same seat last year. Absolutely disgraceful. Bove's confirmation is on them, too.

It’s the narcissist’s playbook.

1. Do something bad/stupid

2. Blame someone else (“They (or you) did this/made me do this!”)

3. Loudly claim (usually falsely) to have fixed the problem

4. Take credit for 3 (but never blame for 1) and say “Look what I did for you! You should be grateful!”
So “emergency.” Much “national security.”

Citizens United paved the way for the richest man to spend hundreds of millions to elect the president—who just so happens to be helping Musk's companies avoid accountability and saving the billionaire loads of money.

I really don’t understand how you can look at the president—who’s aligned with Putin and hostile to NATO—trying to bully a NATO ally into giving up on its territorial integrity in some grand humiliation, and be like that kind of stuff doesn’t matter what you should focus on is national security.

This will do two things:

a) Ensure no safeguards are guaranteed when AI is implemented into the U.S.

b) Ensure the U.S. is never considered an adequate third-party processor as far as the international community is concerned.

c) Foot in the door for other state law restrictions.
