A few reminders about the SCOTUS immunity decision for Presidents:

It does not provide immunity for prior crimes.

It does not provide immunity to the President's cabinet.

Similar to Roe v. Wade, it can be overturned in the future.

Garcia: If you are a whistleblower at the FBI, at the DOJ, if you worked hard to put the files together and are seeing your work now being hidden by your own DOJ, contact the oversight committee. We have whistleblower protections.

The board of the Kennedy Center announced it had voted to rename the cultural institution in honor of President Trump.

But members of the organization are having a harder time replacing the website domain because a comedian bought it months ago.

To celebrate the 250th anniversary of America’s founding, one agency is tasked with ideas for commemorative coins. Instead of addressing the country’s racial history, the five coins will feature former presidents and a Pilgrim couple.
U.S. anniversary coins won’t feature any Black Americans or notable women
The Trump administration has scraped plans for coins honoring Frederick Douglass and Ruby Bridges opting for all Whites to celebrate the country’s 250th birthday.

ICE’s occupation in Memphis, the largest Black-majority city in the country, has reshaped daily life, turning grocery shopping into a mission that risks one’s family being torn apart.

This would not have passed if those chickenshit Dems Davis, Cellar, and Gonzalez had not voted for it. They voted to put the parents of trans youth in prison for ten years.

Primary them all.
Just now, a national trans healthcare felony ban for youth has passed the US House, with 10 year prison terms.

3 Dems crossed party lines to vote to jail providers.

4 GOP crossed party lines to vote against.

It is not expected to pass the Senate, where Dems hold filibuster power.

Story to come.
