WELKER: Lawmakers say the 2 men appeared to raise their arms potentially to surrender. Why did Admiral Bradley interpret these actions as anything other than them trying to survive?

Trump: "For generations Miami has been a haven for those fleeing communist tyranny in South Africa. I mean, if you take a look at what's going on in parts of South Africa. Look at South Africa, what's going on. Look at South America, what's going on. You know, we have a G20 meeting in South Africa."

Weird
Kind of weird how Roberts declared the VRA preclearance to rest on dated and unfair assumptions about the South and within 15 years the former Confederate states will have effectively eliminated almost every black district within those states.
Missouri Republicans today passed a new gerrymander that would break apart the Democratic district in Kansas City, which would flip a seat to the GOP. (The governor is expected to sign it.) www.kansascity.com/news/politic...

Read past the headlines. Read the whole article. They caused a pregnant woman to go into premature labor. Pointed a gun at a 15 year old special needs student in his school. Refused a man's insulin. All, by the way, US citizens.
“Alvarado is one of five U.S. citizens who filed claims on Aug. 20 against the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, ICE and Customs and Border Protection over their arrests by immigration authorities in Southern California. A sixth claim was also filed on behalf of a legal U.S. resident.”

I think about this a lot, and worry that republicans will expand the court for more insurance.
Thinking about the tut-tutting Democratic politicians who spent their two years in power warning that Supreme Court expansion was too radical an idea to even think about taking seriously. You absolute fucking rubes. You gigantic, credulous losers. I hope you are ashamed of yourselves today.

It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence.

One thing about this that I've been chewing on -- in NYC at least, immigrants with attorneys are given virtual hearings. Is this true in other jurisdictions? Or are they targeting the unrepresented?
ICE operations at immigration courts intensified today. Brief 🧵on what's happening:
- A person facing removal shows up for a hearing.
- At the hearing, ICE unexpectedly asks the immigration judge to dismiss the case without prejudice.
- If the judge says yes, the hearing ends, court is over.

Another report, this one out of Arizona, of people showing up for scheduled immigration court hearings and being detained by federal agents.
They've abandoned any pretense of going after the criminal element first. Now everyone is fair game.

This is what Republicans have been voting for.
NEW: By a 5–4 vote, the Supreme Court LIFTS Judge Boasberg's restraining order against the deportation of migrants under the Alien Enemies Act. The majority holds that migrants must file habeas petitions where they're confined.

This and the comments under it are infuriating. Cruelty is the point.
I spoke to a South Carolina woman today who is miscarrying - her fetus has no heartbeat - but the state's ban is preventing doctors from taking action.
She has to walk around with a dead fetus for another week so she can get a FOURTH ultrasound.
This is what bans do.

I had this exact experience this week when I tried to contact them on behalf of a client.
We've heard concerning things about the Social Security Administration lately, so I decided to check for myself.
SSA says Wednesday is the best day to call, so I called then.
Their system told me there would be a two-hour wait time, told me to call back, and then just hung up.

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.
