I don't think I've seen a network TV news report more transparently full of shit since maybe 2003, right before we invaded Iraq

Texas among most dangerous U.S. states, study finds
Only Mississippi and Louisiana fared worse in the new analysis, which looks not just at crime stats but factors such as workplace and road safety.

Brace yourselves…

Wednesday, SCOTUS will rehear Louisiana v. Calais, the case could eliminate Section 2 of Voting Rights Act, a safeguard against racially discriminatory redistricting, gutting Section 2 could secure 27 safe GOP House seats, 19 tied to loss of Section 2.

Gob Bluth, a self-proclaimed illusionist from the sitcom Arrested Development, is standing on wide brick steps that lead to a columned building in the background. Behind Gob are nine other magicians, one of whom is dressed in a full robe and wizard hat ensemble. Gob is holding a professionally made sign that reads, in camel case, "We Demand To Be Taken Seriously."

The case before the Supreme Court is called Louisiana v. Callais, a redistricting dispute that has become a major test of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 (VRA), the landmark civil rights law designed to protect Black Americans and other minorities from being shut out of political representation.

NEW — I dug into the story of ICE abducting a 13-year-old boy in Massachusetts and moving him 500 miles across state lines without notifying his mother, local cop's complicity, and how the federal government's justification for such cruelty is already falling apart:
ICE took a 13-year-old they said had a gun. Local cops say he didn’t.
Now he's detained 500 miles away from his Massachusetts home.

To be clear:

LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government.

The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency.

This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.
