Marjorie Taylor Greene doesn't want you to know the name of her opponent but will try every desperate attempt to save her seat.

My name is Shawn Harris. I am a Democrat, husband, father, Retired Brigadier General, farmer, and I'm running against MTG. Can you spread the word?

“I would think that a veteran who has seen combat would not respond by firing at teenagers,” the judge said. “There was nothing here that rises to the level of needing to use a firearm.”

Right now, Muslims in Gaza are supposed to be celebrating Eid al-Adha.

Instead of feasting, they are starving. Instead of gathering with their loved ones, they are burying their children.

Netanyahu and the IDF can end this misery ANY time by agreeing to a ceasefire and allowing aid into Gaza.
MIDDLE EAST CONFLICT Islam's holiest day is marred by grief and peril as Gaza marks Eid al-Adha Rather than the ritual sacrifice of a lamb, a Palestinian man told NBC News, "We sacrifice the blood of martyrs. We sacrifice our sons, our daughters, and our mothers." "This is not an Eid of joy; it is an Eid of mourning and death," Ahmed Darwish, displaced from Rafah to west Khan Younis, told NBC News as he stood beside the graves. "Our children and women are in pieces. Instead of sacrificing animals, we collected body parts this morning." On Eid, Israeli strikes continued as families wept by the bodies of their loved ones, killed before celebrations could begin. Reda Abdel Rahim Eljara told an NBC News team that Israeli air strikes had already killed her husband and one of her sons. On the first day of Eid al-Adha, she lost two more sons and her daughter-in-law. Umm Ahmad Al-Qatati said her son, Omar, 11, was shot as he left his tent to shower and get ready for a visit to see his father. "He was so excited for Eid morning, but they sent him to the morgue instead," she said. "Instead of celebrating Eid, he went to be with his Lord."

The government refuses to answer an interrogatory that asks it to describe steps taken to facilitate Abrego Garcia's release.

The government objects “based on the false premise that the United States can or has been ordered to facilitate Abrego Garcia's release from custody in El Salvador…”

See Abrego Garcia, 604 U.S., slip op. at 2 (holding Defendants should "take all available steps to facilitate the return of Abrego Garcia to the United State") (emphasis added). Defendants further object to Interrogatory No. 1 as calling for information that is protected by the attorney-client privilege, the deliberative process privilege, the state secrets privilege, and the governmental privilege. Defendants incorporate their objections to definitions and objections to instructions. Subject to and without waiving the forgoing objections, Defendants respond as follows: Before the Fourth Circuit's decision of April 17 clarifying its understanding of "facilitate," the United States took the position that the only steps needed to facilitate the return of Mr. Abrego Garcia involved removing domestic barriers. After the Fourth Circuit's clarification, the State Department has engaged in appropriate diplomatic discussions with El Salvador regarding Abrego Garcia. However, disclosing the details of any diplomatic discussions regarding Mr. Abrego Garcia at this time could negatively impact any outcome. 2 NOEM v.

To that extent, the Government's emergency application is effectively granted in part and the deadline in the challenged order is no longer effective. The rest of the District Court's er remains in effect but requires clarification on remand.

The District Court should clarify its directive, with due regard for the deference owed to the Executive Branch in the conduct of foreign affairs.

BREAKING NEWS: America Is Back in the Slave Trade

Trump told America he had a deal with far-right El Salvadoran dictator Nayib Bukele to temporary hold U.S. deportees for a fee.

Now we know that was a lie.

Trump told Bukele he'd _sell_ him bodies to _own_—to be housed in his massive prison (CECOT) until death.

America is back in the slave trade.

So far tonight, Republicans have blocked amendments that would:

– Remove tariffs hurting families
– Protect disaster response and recovery
- Secure Social Security benefits
- Preserve federal lands

If the government’s position is that being trafficked to El Salvador by Donald Trump and Stephen Miller amounts to a final and irreversible deprivation of all rights, then it seems to me every federal court has a duty to permanently enjoin the practice as soon as it possibly can.

When disaster strikes – FEMA responds.

All over the country, they save lives and help rebuild.

Republicans just voted down @padilla.senate.gov’s amendment which would protect the agency from drastic cuts.

And victims of disaster everywhere will pay the price.
