This statement from Jonathan Joss's husband is heart breaking. No, headline writers, he wasn't "killed in an argument with a neighbor." He was deliberately murdered for being gay right after his dog was decapitated. Bet the murderer calls himself a "Christian." THIS is why Pride is important.

Trump wins the appeals court lottery in D.C. The panel hearing emergency appeals this month appears to be: Rao, Katsas, Walker. All three are Trump appointees — in fact the only Trump appointees on the DC Circuit. They are handling one of the key tariff appeals.

Cable news headline reads: Trump Big budget bill facing problems in the Senate.Maybe but when shit gets real and it's time to vote, they become castrated by fear and vote the way the Taco-in-Chief demands. In the spirit of keeping it real, it'll probably get a yes from all GOP Senators and pass..

The eventual vote from Hawley and Ron Johnson will be there for Trump's policies. Hawley wants to brush up his populist bona fides, and Johnson probably wants another sweetheart tax loophole for donors, but never doubt they will do Trump's bidding.

One key thing to understand about the ever-expanding shadow docket is that it allows the Supreme Court to abandon originalism and textualism in favor of "balancing" ill-defined interests and harms that, mysteriously, favor Trump most of the time. slate.com/news-and-pol...

So, it seems: 1. A not actual "deal" (not a formal binding international treaty)... 2. ...after massively more self-inflicted damage has already been done... 3. ...that accomplishes far less than the original thing that was already in place and actually working Who could have possibly predicted?

This is the official notification that the Trump administration has decided that roughly 3000 Cameroonian should all be kicked out of the country. I think it’s fair to say that the administration will likely cancel nearly every grant of TPS on the books; over 1 million people.

Wow, Russ Vought (Trump's budget director) is planning to do "pocket rescissions." This is an illegal practice that'd institute at minimum a 12% cut to any program on the list (larger to anything behind on obligations). GAO, tasked w/ determining ICA violations, has said this practice is illegal.
