Tucker Carlson is making a new career for himself spreading lies about Israel. His latest lie is about Christians in Israel. Watch my video to find out why.
CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss yanking a "60 Minutes" story on Trump sending Venezuelan migrants to El Salvador's nightmarish prison "looks like a clear case of censorship-by-editor to protect the interests of powerful, rich and influential people." https://t.co/scRZAJWdwr
BREAKING: Attorney General Pam Bondi gets hit with a massive lawsuit from a former Justice Department immigration judge who was fired because of her gender.
The most corrupt in AG history is getting pummeled from every side...
"This is a case in which the President of the United States has asserted a constitutional right to discriminate against federal employees. If the government prevails in transforming the law, it will eviscerate the professional, non-partisan civil service as we know it," stated the attorney for Tania Nemer, the former immigration judge.
Nemer is alleging that while she received sterling performance reviews, she was removed from her job because of her gender, the fact that she has dual citizenship in Lebanon, and because she once ran as a Democrat in a municipal race. She correctly points out that all of these "reasons" are blatant violations of her First Amendment rights and the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
Nemer was abruptly fired in February. She was summoned from her bench and then unceremoniously escorted out a federal building in Cleveland. Neither her supervisor nor the chief immigration judge present were able to tell her why she was being fired.
"According to the final agency decision, the President may now fire female federal workers like Ms. Nemer — because of their sex — and the law would have nothing to say about it," her lawsuit reads. "According to the final agency decision, the President can now fire federal workers born to immigrant parents with dual citizenship like Ms. Nemer — because of their national origin — and they would have no recourse. And under the same logic, the President can fire federal workers like Ms. Nemer — because of their political activities and affiliations — and the courts would be powerless to act."
Nemer is demanding reinstatement at her job, back pay, as well as erasure of her termination record. She deserves all three and she deserves them immediately.
This jaw-dropping overreach by the Trump administration is part of a broader effort to reshape the federal government so that it's packed to the gills with MAGA fascists willing to follow the president's destructive orders without question. If we don't stand up now and oppose these measures, these Republicans will steamroll over our democracy.
