The Slaughter case, overturning precedent, returns us to a spoils system where a president can “clean house” every four years, destroying our professional, independent civil service.

WHAT. IS. THIS?

Esto es Kentucky (EEUU), una iglesia evangélica organizó una simulación de fusilamiento de inmigrantes delante de niños que acudieron a un campamento de verano.

Puro amor al prójimo, excepto si eres negro, homosexual, inmigrante, comunista o musulmán, entonces toca fusilamiento.

The Supreme Court has ruled that the manifestly racist policy of deporting Haitians theoretically might not have been racist on another set of facts aside from the one that actually obtained in our real world. Even by their standards this is sad and embarrassing—as well as contributory to obvious and avoidable injustice.

TAPPER: Is it the position of the Trump administration that Haiti is a safe country to send these people to?

MARKWAYNE MULLIN: Those that are coming to this country legally, they need to be able to contribute to the US, not be a burden on the taxpayers

TAPPER: But do you maintain that it's safe in Haiti to send these people back? The State Dept has a level 4 do not travel advisory

MULLIN: Well, the do not travel is not for Haitians. That's do not travel for the United States.

This is what it sounds like when idiots gather, pound their religious breasts and sow stupidity. The words “separation of church and state” do not appear in the Constitution, but the words are a metaphor (you know what that is, right?) from an 1802 letter written by Thomas Jefferson (since relied on as precedent by our Supreme Court) in which he stated that the First Amendment built a "wall of separation between Church & State."
Jefferson should know what those words meant; so if it’s good enough for him…perhaps the idiocracy should sit down and pick up a book they haven’t burned or banned. #BringBackCivics

When people say asylum seekers shouldn't cross the border illegally and should instead come in the "right" way...

...bear in mind that the Trump admin just went all the way to SCOTUS to ensure that there IS NO "RIGHT" WAY.

Ms. Rachel: "Where have you been, leaders? Did you not see these kids as kids because of where they were born? 20,000 children killed. 151 starved to death.

A quadcopter shooting a baby breastfeeding in a tent. Did you not think they had beating hearts like your kids? How can you go to sleep at night knowing you said nothing?"

Shew. This just sucks.

The Supreme Court released four decisions today. All were 6-3 or 7-2, with the right-wing majority writing the opinions. Quick summaries below:

[Headquarters @HQNewsNow]

Republican Senate Majority Leader Thune: Most of us believe that SNAP benefits from reforms, and there are reforms in the bill we passed last summer

(4,300,000 Americans were kicked off of SNAP, including 770,000 children)

This is not a normal statement from a normal cabinet member of a major nation. 

This statement from Israeli National Security Minister Ben-Gvir is the statement of a war criminal. 

The racist, extremist Israeli government does not deserve one nickel of U.S. support.

ICYMI, this week ICE announced that it was NOT moving forward with its enormous and costly plan to convert commercial warehouses into the largest jails in the entire country.

DEPORTATION FLIGHTS AT A RECORD HIGH.

The American people gave us a mandate to arrest and remove criminal illegal aliens from our country — and under @POTUS Trump and @SecMullinDHS, we’ll continue to deliver.

Our message is clear: LEAVE NOW or we will find you, arrest you, and deport you.

“If a country was a movie, it’s the US.”

America is profoundly amazing. It’s impossible to fully appreciate unless you can experience it for the first time.

The greatest experiment in world history is Western Civilization, and USA is its crown jewel.

The $1.7 million no-bid contract to clean the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool went to a company ultimately owned by Trump donor John J. Cafaro, who previously pleaded guilty in separate federal cases involving bribery and campaign finance violations. The company's name? Greenwater Services.

Over the past 19 years, I've watched @MichelleObama, who never sought a career in the public eye, become a master orator. Her speech yesterday at the opening of the Obama Presidential Center may have been her very best. Moving, direct and powerful.

More than 150 troops at Lackland Air Force Base in Texas have been infected with influenza over the past three weeks — less than two months after Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said troops would no longer be required to be vaccinated against the flu. https://t.co/2lDEzePV2O
