The finest in modern Republican governance. What's next from Trump/RFK -- repurpose the shuttered public corruption unit at the FBI to instead go find Sasquatch? Maybe the fired disease detectives at the CDC can finally get the trooooth about the tooth fairy?

Kagan: "It's not about intentional discrimination because Section 2 isn't about intentional discrimination, it's about effectual discrimination." Again, this should be the winning argument. It won't be.

Yes. Very casually turning the SSFA into a determination that any statute addressing race discrimination must be time-bound. Just absolutely untrue. An utter usurpation of Congress’ enforcement power under the 14th & 15th Amendments.

Opinion | Dems want to play it safe in Maine’s white-hot Senate race. That’s a mistake.
An absurd amount of energy is spent trying to avoid primaries, when, in fact, Democrats should want more of them.

ICE used HELICOPTERS and the raid "resulted in the arrest of two suspected gang members." *Suspected* What makes this even more pathetic is that these two people arrested were probably *suspected* of being gang members solely because they're not white. And maybe had a tattoo honoring their mother.
