@repilhan.bsky.social and @algreen.house.gov were censured for far less serious charges.

Why isn't @raskin.house.gov calling for censure of Adolf Fine?
If they force us to choose between calling for the resignation of imbecilic bigots or normalizing hateful religious incitement, that’s not a tough one. This fanatic should spare his constituents any further embarrassment and resign.

"Parties are directed to include stock ticker symbols in their briefs."
SCOTUS is dealing with problems that arise from justices’ ownership of individual stocks.

What did the court do to address this ethical question? Did the justices agree to divest from individual stock ownership? Of course not.

Parties are directed to include stock ticker symbols in their briefs.
SCOTUS changed the rules for bringing cases to the court because John Roberts won't sell his stocks
Roberts and Alito are the only two justices who own individual stocks. Also: A new lawsuit challenges the Trump admin's removal of the Pride flag at the Stonewall Monument.

It is pretty impressive how mainstream anti-Palestinian sentiment was in the 1980s all the way through to today
FLASHBACK — 1988: @schumer.senate.gov brags about blocking the "Jackson plank”, a DNC platform item by Jesse Jackson's presidential campaign which would’ve supported Palestinian self-determination.

Talk about narcissistic projection.
Netanyahu recently visited the CMCC command center in Givatayim, Israel, and delivered a message directly to Iran: “I hope and pray that this terrorist regime and its affiliates will disappear, and that we will see a different era and future for the children of the Middle East.”

Today, Ash Wednesday, is a legal and moral showdown: will the Trump administration follow a court order to allow, as has been the practice for years, a Catholic cardinal (and other pastoral ministers) to visit detainees at the ICE detention facility in Chicago?
Ash Wednesday (this Wednesday) is already a big deal for Catholics, but it sounds like it will be especially profound in Chicago this year.
