According to Fox News, if you are a racist Young Republican you are still a "kid" when you are 34, but if you are an Epstein victim, you are an adult when you're 15.

The Vice President of the United States used his social media page to tell Joy Reid, a private citizen with no connection to the government, that she should express "gratitude" for how this country has treated her.
Black women remain the most consistent targets in all of this.

And of course, our Chief Justice (aka Chief Enabler) will have no issues with this. And Mr. Miller, if we are talking about the United States' "form of government," it's not "Republican," it is "republican." Unless you're referring to that corrupted cult that is the modern GOP.
This seems like incitement to violence against judges.

If Trump tries to violate the Posse Comitatus Act by sending federal troops into Philly, I suggest we all buy stock in Subway; it will do a staggeringly brisk business in Italian Hoagies to go.

Look at this graph.
The share of national income going to the richest 10 percent was lowest (and share to lower 90 percent highest) when union membership was at its highest. As unions have weakened, inequality has widened.
This is why we must build back union power.

I was a law clerk for a federal district court judge in the late 1980s. They're the true workhorses of the judiciary, and the only heroes thus far in Constitutional framework.
Pour one out for Judge Sparkle Sooknanan’s clerks this Labor Day weekend
Can we stop to talk about how remarkable the timing was? Compliant at 1am, Judge engaged at 2am, ex parte call to the Government at 2:30am (they did not answer), TRO at 4am?
On a Sunday of a holiday weekend?!

Last week, Boston received a letter from AG Bondi threatening to prosecute officials and withhold funds unless we cooperate with carrying out mass deportations.
The US Attorney General asked for a response by today, so here it is: stop attacking our cities to hide your administration’s failures.

How do you I feel? I have to practice before it. It used to be a great federal circuit. Before he was elevated to the USCT,Alito destroyed that vision of it. Bove will just be the shitty icing on an already rotten court.
Do you ever just wish you were one of those people who doesn’t even know what the third circuit court of appeals is?

This is excellent.
At a time when it's easy to lose hope, we want to remind people that our dreams are still attainable. We are still united in the pursuit of good. And each of us is just one of a million others who also refuse to give up. So stay strong. You are not alone.
