The former South Carolina attorney still faces decades in prison for financial crimes.

There's a growing list of smuggling cases showing the complexities of regulating the sale of highly sensitive American-made semiconductors in the shadow of national security concerns. https://bit.ly/4d86UPG

Yesterday's CPI report found inflation is now wiping out wage gains. Today's PPI report confirms that wholesale inflation has seen its highest annual increase in four years. Food, gas, and shelter costs are skyrocketing, fueled by one man's unilateral decision to go to war.

Most Awesome Thing Today

It’s no exaggeration to say this was among the worst weeks for voting rights in our history. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

1/2 Trump can't kill the civil lawsuits against him for causing the insurrection on January 6th, but he wants to stall discovery because he knows that will be explosive. ⚖️ www.documentcloud.org/documents/28... 🧾 lawandcrime.com/high-profile...

"This decision will jeopardize maps for congressional seats, state legislatures, city councils, school boards – every level at which communities of color have fought for true representation," writes @slakin.bsky.social.

In the 24 hours since the Supreme Court's majority ruled to demolish the Voting Rights Act's remaining protections, Louisiana and Tennessee have already signaled that they'll redraw their congressional maps with the clear effect of shutting Black voters out.

“The name of [an ICE] officer accused of strangling a man in Fitchburg during an immigration arrest has been revealed in court, despite the federal government’s attempts to keep his identity a secret. The officer’s name is David Jackson, an acting supervisory detention and deportation officer.”

Happy May Day, Educators!

Another really long day. I am doing everything I can to spread the word about the threats to democracy and how to fight back. You can help me by subscribing to Democracy Docket for free and sharing its content. Thanks. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

There is a whole class of apps that market themselves as "personal safety" or "anti-theft" that meet the definition of stalkerware and Cerberus Anti-Theft is one of them: hexproof.dev/datagrams/ce...

Unacceptable. Jonathan Ross should be in custody awaiting trial for the murder of Renée Good.

We can’t defend hiring Blanche, Hegseth, Patel and Zampolli either. Humiliating. Across the board.

Zampolli is the pimp and predator chosen to represent us in Europe and spy on Vance for their boss. We’ve sunk so low.

Jared Kushner doesn’t have a government job or any level of security clearance. He’s actively repping us around the globe. Anyone else remember the 24/7/365 Hunter Biden outrage? Where’s THAT for Jared Kushner?

He truly can’t leave soon enough. If he flew off at lunchtime—never to return—no one would shed a tear.

*Hellbent from Jan’24 toward personal enrichment plus his donors/shills *Started a war against sage advice & can’t seem to get out of it *Wrecked a good, growing economy *Is HATED over MN murders, masked thugs evrywhr, unlawful deportations No wonder his polling numbers stink.

The judge accused the move of targeting “viewpoints that the President does not like and seeks to squelch.”

Two pilots dead at LaGuardia. A lone controller managing two simultaneous emergencies. The FAA is 3,000 controllers short. We will blame the human. We should fix the system. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

COLUMN: It’s not too early to start planning for the post-Trump Justice Department. DOJ alumni across the ideological spectrum have told our Ankush Khardori that they are ready and willing to come back to set things straight after Trump leaves office.

Punchbowl confirms what I suspected in a post last night. Thune reached a deal with Dems to fund DHS except for ICE and Trump rejected it. DONALD TRUMP is to blame for airport chaos - not Democrats.

I can confirm that people who are already exhausted and scared of going through TSA and flying right now, people who have just been told to wait in a line for 4+ hours, are absolutely furious to see ICE agents—a stark reminder of who exactly is to blame for this situation

(Thread) Indiscriminate bombing of Iran’s power plants would violate core principles of the laws of war rooted in the Geneva Conventions and Additional Protocol I which bind the U.S. as customary international law.

An absolutely excruciating moment at the Georgia Supreme Court this week. Justice Peterson pressed state attorney Deborah Leslie over her citations to cases that apparently don’t exist.

An immigration judge has ordered the removal of Liam Consejo Ramos, a Minnesota toddler who was detained by ICE. The politics of citizenship might seem like the detail that distinguishes Liam’s story from the stories of our kids. But his innocence, like the innocence of all kids, is unimpeachable.

Fetterman’s polling numbers are abysmal. He sails on a sinking ship.

No more money for Netanyahu’s War.
