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.
The Cowardice of Senate Democrats 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.

Justice Sotomayor, dissenting from #SCOTUS's "clarification" of its unexplained June 23 stay in the D.V.D. case:

"The Court’s continued refusal to justify its extraordinary decisions in this case, even as it faults lower courts for failing properly to divine their import, is indefensible."
Over dissents from Justices Sotomayor & Jackson (and a rare concurrence from Justice Kagan), #SCOTUS "clarifies" that its 6/23 ruling staying a district court's injunction against third-country removals *also* applies to the district court's later order requiring a remedy for those already removed:

If you're in NYC and voting today, remember that as long as you are in line by 9 pm you can still vote. STAY in line if you got there by 9 pm.

If you registered to vote between 6/9-6/14 but they can't find you in the pollbook, there's a chance it wasn't update. ASK for an affidavit ballot!

Sen. Cory Booker has taken the Senate floor and announced he’s holding it until he’s no longer physically able as a protest against Trump. It’s probably the best idea any Senate Democrat has had in months. Love it.
