John Roberts was part of the 3-judge panel presiding over Hamdan v. Rumsfeld while actively interviewing for a seat on the Supreme Court. He didn't recuse himself, didn't inform Hamdan's lawyers, and ruled in the Bush admin's favor the day before he interviewed with Bush himself.
A new book lays out how John Roberts was pitching himself to George W. Bush for a Supreme Court seat at the same time he was presiding over a controversial case involving Bush's administration.

NEW CASE: We just sued DHS to stop the immigration raids on construction sites.

Our client, Leo García Venegas, has been arrested twice just for working in construction while Latino—despite being a US citizen with a Real ID.

Here’s a short video explaining the case:

Journalist Mario Guevara has been detained for 100+ days, ironically arrested as he reported on a "No Kings" protest.

The Trump-Vance admin just issued an order of final removal, to send him to El Salvador—where he fled from 21 years ago.

A friend of mine was on Charlie Kirk's "watch list" of Black professors. She received so many death and rape threats that her university offered her a security detail for the walk to class.

This is Kirk's legacy.

You would never know it from reading all of these legacy newspaper op-eds about him.

The white washing of Charlie Kirk's life of hate by corporate media, Republicans, and even some Democrats is making me feel like I'm in the worst episode of The Twilight Zone.

America is the best country for mediocre white conservative men who traffic in hate. Made into heroes in death.

For those praising Charlie Kirk, ask them if they agree with Kirk when he said the Civil Rights Act was a huge mistake, MLK was an awful person, Palestine doesn't exist, women's place is under their husband, and that the white supremacist "replacement theory" is real.

I'd love to hear the answers.

The International Rescue Committee asked Israel for permission just to send food to its own staffers.

The request was denied.

IRC is a well-respected, 80-year-old aid org. It was created at the behest of Albert Einstein to save Jewish refugees during WWII.

Just 10 members of Congress have even dared to call Israel's mass murder in Gaza a genocide. Meanwhile, they're straight up murdering journalists. The gulf between what's happening and what most of our leaders will acknowledge is so remarkably vast.

Israel assassinated journalist Anas Al-Sharif and his entire Al-Jazeera TV crew in Gaza today.

CPJ warned of Israeli smear campaign against him, but few Western media outlets or journalists spoke out in defense of their Palestinian colleagues. Their silence is cowardly and shameful.

Holy smokes!!

Immigration judges were told how to rule so people attending their immigration hearings could be arrested and deported without due process!!

Republicans tell everyone to believe in the law but the courts are told what to do by Trump’s regime!!

Because it expired after its shipment was delayed.
