This is odd, it looks like the DOJ skipped suing Texas entirely. The Justice Department is now suing California over the new congressional district boundaries that voters approved just last week, Attorney General Pam Bondi announced Thursday in a post on X. Who are they going to sue, the voters?

Just got back from the federal building in downtown San Diego where our local bishop and other church leaders were leading a vigil for the immigrants unjustly incarcerated there. The leadership the church has shown on this issue is inspiring.

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87%
Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32%
Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.
As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

I give Catholic bishops a hard time often for all the obvious reasons, but this is beautiful and loving, and I'm deeply grateful to hear it. This can change hearts and save lives.

Leavitt, this week: "President Trump kicked him out because Jeffrey Epstein was a pedophile and he was a creep."
Trump, asked in 2019 if he had “any suspicions” that Epstein was molesting underage women: "No, I had no idea. I had no idea."

Do political science profs have to explain to their students that, for most of American history, it was actually borderline unthinkable that elected officials and their spokespersons would constantly talk like trashy reality show contestants?
After calling Schumer a "Palestinian," Leavitt refers to "Gavin Newscum." So she's just ripping off her boss's smears now.

This number is completely made up. There are not 30 million undocumented immigrants. The most recent estimates are around 14 million, of which roughly 8 million people have been here for over a decade.
Vance is not a fool. He knows this. DHS produces official estimates. They don’t say 30 million.

Money laundering in plain sight
The Kremlin disguised a nearly $100 mn payment to Trump in the form of a brokered real estate deal... and both Jeffrey Epstein and William Pulte were involved in the deal. That's very interesting.

Greg Bovino admitted live on Fox that agents are detaining immigrants who’ve “taken American jobs”.
Not criminals.
Not dangerous people.
Just hard working immigrants.
He also threatens “we’re going to even harder on the streets” if a judge releases some of the detainees.

Republicans dropped a last-minute provision into the funding bill that would funnel millions of taxpayer dollars to eight Republican senators.
People can't afford their food or health care and yet, Republicans are only concerned with enriching themselves.

In December 2018, Epstein wrote about Trump: “I am the one able to take him down.”
Eight months later, Epstein was found dead in a prison run by the Trump administration.
Weird coincidence.

you could fact check this — there aren’t 30 million illegal immigrants and there is no evidence that the presence of an immigrant in say houston has any impact on housing in madison, wisconsin — or you could note straightforwardly that this is just nazi rhetoric

If Vance believes this, he is an idiot.
(Hint: The most inflated real estate is !!!NOT!!! where immigrants are concentrated.)
If he knows how stupid this argument is, he's a tool.
Take your pick.
In his defense, he once called Trump "America's Hitler."

The discharge petition to force a vote on the Epstein Files only received a handful of GOP votes.
But when we get the actual vote to release them, I'm presuming we'll see a whole lot more, right?
