I'm going to get ahead of some uninformed outrage. The second-degree murder charges against Vance Boelter are all that can be brought against him right now. Prosecutors can charge him with first-degree premeditated murder, but that requires a grand jury indictment, not just a criminal complaint.

The acting head of FEMA, a Trump appointee, told staff today he didn’t know the U.S. has a hurricane season. FEMA is dangerously unprepared this year.

This explains why a Fox News viewer I spoke to over the weekend thinks that Joe Biden is the most corrupt President ever, and doesn’t know a single thing about Trump’s blatantly corrupt activities around crypto, pardons, etc.

The Wall Street Journal had a piece last night that the Judicial Conference of the United States — the policy making body for the federal judiciary — is discussing whether the Judiciary should have its own armed security force rather than rely on the U.S. Marshals for federal judges’ protection.

My goal has been to make Illinois the best state to raise a family — that starts with kids having access to what they need so they can focus on learning and growing. Illinois was among the first states to implement SUN Bucks, and this year is no exception.

This should be seen as evidence of the crisis: federal judges fear that Trump will order U.S. Marshals to stand down on securing the safety of judges whose decision they don’t like. This is just devastating. www.wsj.com/us-news/law/...

Wow. This is major news. Judges discuss moving the U.S. marshals from the executive to the judicial branch. Not only would they protect judges from trump threats, but it would also make it easier for courts to order marshals to carry out court orders.

Scores of staffers at the White House National Security Council have been abruptly dismissed as part of a sweeping overhaul that slashes the staff from over 300 to just 50. The move shifts the NSC’s role from policymaking to simply carrying out the president’s directives.

Warnock: You literally have, in real time, the leader of another nation-state—in this case, South Africa—there to talk to him about trade, and he’s saying, “Sorry, Mr. President, we don’t have a plane to offer you.” And you see why we have an Emoluments Clause in the first place.

If Republicans were proud of their bill, they'd debate it in the light of day. Instead, they're trying to move it under the cover of night like the cult of cowards that they are. They know that ripping away healthcare and food assistance from millions is harmful and unpopular.

The bill is still a mess but this is a win. Thank you, America. They heard you. House Republicans have dropped the provision that would’ve sold off 500,000 acres of public land in Utah and Nevada.

This is extraordinary. The Secretary of Homeland Security doesn’t know what the right of habeas corpus is (the ancient right to go to court to challenge government detention) and offers an incoherent definition which suggests she thinks it’s a presidential power to deport people?
