I’ve been covering execution-related litigation up to the Supreme Court for more than a decade.
Nearly 300 people have been killed in that time.
Don’t tell me that what happens via emergency applications — regularly called the shadow docket for nearly a decade — is an “interim docket.”

These were people already approved to be naturalized, yet they were stopped solely because of their countries of origin.

Just so we’re ALL clear: the President of the United States made death threats toward sitting Democratic members of Congress.
But they’re always claiming Democrats are the dangerous ones, right?

I'm thinking today of all my fellow veterans but especially the more than 5,000 trans service members and their families who were kicked out of the military this year despite being highly qualified and serving honorably. This injustice will be a stain on our nation's history.

Well @booker.senate.gov and @kim.senate.gov - is Schumer lying or incompetent? Either way, you need to call for him to go.
The thing about the "I voted against this" position Schumer is taking is that either he is trying to mislead Dem voters by implying he didn't support reopening right now, or he has no control over his caucus.

Let Chuck Schumer and Dem leadership know that the lesson here is what the f* is the point of everyone getting out to vote if they’re going to immediately abandon us all.
Chuck Schumer is either allowing eight of his colleagues to be the sin eaters who take the blame for passing this shutdown deal, or he’s genuinely powerless to hold his conference together. Either way, he should be out of leadership tomorrow morning.

Reminder: In Virginia, you can register to vote on Election Day through same-day voter registration. This lets you register in person and cast a provisional ballot if you missed the regular registration deadline. Your vote will be counted once eligibility is confirmed, so don’t sit this one out!
