Folarin Balogun, who is a US citizen because he was born here, scores a go-ahead goal for the US team in a knockout game. Score one for birthright citizenship.
Today’s Supreme Court decision effectively guts a key pillar of the Voting Rights Act, freeing state legislatures to gerrymander legislative districts to systematically dilute and weaken the voting power of racial minorities - so long as they do it under the guise of “partisanship” rather than explicit “racial bias.” And it serves as just one more example of how a majority of the current Court seems intent on abandoning its vital role in ensuring equal participation in our democracy and protecting the rights of minority groups against majority overreach.
The good news is that such setbacks can be overcome. But that will only happen if citizens across the country who cherish our democratic ideals continue to mobilize and vote in record numbers - not just in the upcoming midterms or in high profile races, but in every election and every level.
@RapidResponse47@usosce@POTUS Fuck off, you ignorant pricks. Stop lying to everyone about the purpose of NATO and stop whining about the lack of support for your idiotic war of choice against Iran. You broke it, you fix it.

@tedcruz You forgot to mention that the GOP is also the party of pedophiles @tedcruz! They’re such important and protected members of your party, Ted. Or did you somehow forget that for the Epsteinth time?

The Republican Party is the party of truck drivers, steel workers, cops, firefighters, waiters & waitresses — men and women with calluses on their hands.
The Democrat Party is the party of rich coastal elites that sip soy lattes with their pinkies in the air.
He took the greatest military force in world history, lost a war to a middle power in a week, begged the world to save him, and demanded that the media lie about this and everything else. I try, but at a simple human level I do not see how anyone can mistake this man’s almost supernatural weakness for strength. His weakness is something negative, gravitational, so deep that it can draw in a whole country. But only if we fail to see it. Only if we let it.
1/This is bunk. State bars license attorneys & consider misconduct allegations. Historically, state bars have deferred to DOJ‘s internal discipline process as a courtesy, but they are not obligated to, and the AG has zero authority to suspend state bar operations.
This is appalling. There is zero legal authority for the AG to interfere with state bar licenses. Zero. If DOJ lawyers don’t want to adhere to the ethics rules, perhaps they need to find a different profession. Bondi and her cabal are an absolute disgrace to the legal profession.
JUST IN: Trump DOJ proposes surprise rule aiming to let Attorney General Pam Bondi suspend state bar investigations into alleged misconduct by DOJ lawyers. Very unclear if there'd be legal authority for the AG to intervene. https://t.co/jGgglUWyZv
