Last Notes npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex If the case makes it to #SCOTUS, it will be the first major test of the high court’s new standard for challenging congressional maps. The lower court judges made clear that they had reviewed the arguments through the lens of the Supreme Court’s #VotingRightsAct ruling last month but maintained that the state’s map failed under the new standard by intentionally discriminating against #Black voters. npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex The costs are ballooning from Trump’s renovation, re-decoration & building spree in Washington, DC, & at the White House. He goes on social media posting frenzies that often focus on his pet projects, gripes & personal triumphs, including a 22-year-old newspaper review of his TV show, “The Apprentice.” But perhaps the most striking example came Tuesday, when #Trump was asked whether the economic hardship Americans are feeling would motivate him to make a deal to end the #war. npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex But in recent weeks, as Americans feel deep economic strain from the #war he launched in #Iran, Trump’s actions & words have opened him up to accusations that he is either out of touch with — or indifferent to — the lives of everyday Americans. [why not both?] npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex #SaudiArabia launched numerous, unpublicized strikes on #Iran in retaliation for attacks carried out in the kingdom during the #MiddleEast war started by #Trump, 2 Western ofcls briefed on the matter & 2 Iranian ofcls said. npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex Left as probable casualties are longstanding principles of fair representation—along w/ #US voters, who are likelier now to be shunted into hyperpartisan districts drawn in each state to benefit the party in #power. A great carving could effectively dilute the power of millions, especially minority voters, & make partisan primaries more important than general elections when it comes to choosing leaders. npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex The #DOJ filed a remarkable motion late Monday, written in Trump’s recognizable online voice, explicitly linking the #security breach at the #WHCD to the lawsuit over Trump’s #ballroom project. npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex lol npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex When Samuel Samson, a snr adviser at the #State Dept, sat down privately with #FarRight German lawmakers in an office just steps from the White House, he was breaking with history. npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex Don’t believe the hype npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex #FDA regulators agreed with the panel, saying later that the substances “present significant safety risks,” because most have not been extensively tested in humans. npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex Exclusive: #ICE launches new effort to uncover #US ‘birth tourism schemes’ despite the fact that #SCOTUS has yet to rule on the constitutionality of the #Trump #ExecutiveOrder on #BirthrightCitizenship & that a majority of the justices appeared skeptical of the admin’s arguments. npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex I really hope this isn’t true npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex #Trump called for an international coalition to open the #StraitOfHormuz, then said the United States could go it alone, & then said the waterway would somehow “open itself.” He claimed that the United States had already won the #war, that the war would end soon, & that the war would end “when I feel it … in my bones.” As a headline in The Times put it, Trump’s position on #Iran “can change by the sentence.” npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex The goal was #RegimeChange — until it wasn’t. The demand was unconditional surrender — until it wasn’t. Deadlines were issued & then erased. Threats of total destruction were made & then pulled back. #Iran’s #nuclear program was a casus belli in February despite that fact that we were told by #Trump that it had been “obliterated” last June. npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex It is the #IranWar that has most vividly demonstrated the scope of the problem. In this conflict, the most potent antagonist has been the admin’s own incoherence. npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex #ElonMusk has made a particularly bold demand of his #WallStreet advisers ahead of the #IPO of #SpaceX. npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex The admin said it would couple the proposed increase with a call for $73 billion in #cuts across #domestic agencies, including the elimination of some #climate, #housing & #education programs [like I said, crucial]. npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex White House Seeks $1.5 Trillion for #Defense in New #Budget Request npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex First #POW. npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex The medical examiner in #Buffalo, #NY has ruled that the death of a nearly #blind man left alone by #BorderPatrol agents on a frigid night was a #homicide, a finding that could [better] lead to #criminal charges. npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex Medical Examiner Rules That a #Rohingya #Refugee’s Death Was a #Homicide npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex #Liftoff npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex The mission would require the airlift of potentially hundreds or thousands of #troops & heavy equipment to support the excavation & recovery of #radioactive material. That could take weeks, former #defense officials have estimated, & take place under fire deep inside #Iran. npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex In the first part of oral arguments, John Sauer, the #Trump admin’s lawyer, faced skeptical questions from key justices, but it wasn’t a rout. In the second part, some of those same justices vigorously probed the position of the #ACLU lawyer, Cecillia Wang. #DoubleStandard npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex If this case sounds familiar, that’s because because #SCOTUS has already ruled on one aspect of litigation over Trump’s executive order ending the guarantee of #BirthrightCitizenship. npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex Chief Justice #JohnRoberts is asking tough questions of both sides. He’s referring to the key 1898 precedent in Wong Kim Ark, which mentions 20X that Wong’s parents were “domiciled” or had permanent residence in the #US. Roberts asks the #ACLU atty if that language can just be dismissed as irrelevant. npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex Her point was that the laws eased some of the burdens of what she called “forced motherhood,” even in absence of a right to #abortion. npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex #Trump admin says it doesn’t want Wong Kim Ark case overruled npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex Many of the arguments in today’s case go back to the Supreme Court’s 1898 ruling in the case of Wong Kim Ark, which said a US born child of Chinese nationals was a citizen. npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex Predictably, #ClarenceThomas sounds most open to the #Trump admin’s position. npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex #Trump told reporters Thursday that he was not putting #troops "anywhere," but that if was going to, he would not tell journalists. npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex This idiot governs (using that word very generously) by reactionary insecure whim. npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex #DOJ has opened a #federal #CivilRights probe into the death of #AlexPretti npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex #Trump’s most embarrassing post of the night bashes the #US’ greatest ally—the #UK. npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex The #Trump #WhiteHouse posted an image on X showing ONLY 2 possible paths for #Greenland. npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex Ummm… npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex Mayor & Police Chief say it’s a joint FBI & Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension investigation npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex After watching the videos, there is no way to describe this other than #murder. npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex A federal officer shot & killed a person in #Minneapolis on Wednesday during an #immigration “enforcement” operation, #DHS said. The #shooting came as the #Trump admin intensified a crackdown on “illegal immigration” in #Minnesota. npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex “Them worthless fucking shitholes like fucking Jerry Nadler, fucking Pelosi, Clapper, Comey, fucking all those pieces of garbage, you know, Obama, all these dudes, Clinton, fuck all these pieces of shit,” Dempsey said. “They don’t need a jail cell. They need to hang from these motherfuckers while everybody videotapes it & fucking spreads it on YouTube.” npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex #GiftArticle npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex #Greenland is telling its citizens not to fear an imminent #US takeover following renewed interest in the Arctic island by #Trump. npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex These idiots have no idea what they’re doing npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex #GiftArticle npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex A planned Christmas Eve jazz concert at the #KennedyCenter, a holiday tradition dating back >20 years, has been canceled.

During his first campaign in 2016, he called off a political rally there before he took the stage after fights broke out between his supporters & political opponents. npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex #JBPritzker said in a statement Saturday night after this story was published that the state of #Illinois had received “no requests or outreach from the #FederalGovernment asking if we need assistance, & we have made no requests for federal intervention.”

The agency publishes publicly available annual performance & accountability reports & budget justifications that former NLRB members told #NPR would likely be sufficient in looking for ways to cut costs. npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex I dunno cuz sunlight n’shit? npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex "The representatives have requested information about agency operations but asked us to remove any personally identifiable information from documents we provide," the email reads. "Consistent with the President's Executive Order & applicable laws, the Agency will comply with #DOGE's requests for access & information." npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex The email, sent to staff on behalf of #NLRB chair Marvin E. Kaplan & acting general counsel William Cowen & shared w/ #NPR by 2 NLRB employees…, said 2 #DOGE reps would be detailed to the agency from the #GSA "part-time for several months" & would largely work *remotely* [guess they’ll be using that back door]. npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex AYFKM?!!? npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex this evokes memories good & not so good npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex FYI Maryland Democrat Senator Chris Van Hollen will be on the #RachelMaddow Show #TRMS tonight. npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex 🙏😜 ffrf npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex The #authority to investigate & change #TaxExempt statuses rests solely w/ #IRS, & the president is BARRED from directly or indirectly requesting that the agency exercise that #power against taxpayers [including #universities]. npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex #TaxExempt status is available to charitable, religious & #educational orgs, as well as social welfare groups. But the organizations must strictly adhere to tax laws that prohibit them from engaging in certain political activity. There is NO proof that #Harvard violated any of those guardrails. npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex 100% ILLEGAL npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex Man, #DHS General Counsel Joe Mazzara is so screwed. He’s going to be their fall guy. Though of course Trump will pardons him. But still, he’s signed “under penalty of perjury” several of these affidavits. He better be disbarred. npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex New from Judge #Xinis’ docket:
