my measured conclusion upon review of the Supreme Court's order reimposing Texas's racially gerrymander is that the only thing the Republican justices hate more than district court judges is people of color voting

The Supreme Court Wants Republicans to Keep the House In 2026
A federal district court found that Texas Republicans’ redistricting proposal is an illegal racial gerrymander. The conservative justices couldn't care less.

It's bad enough that the part of Medicare that gives you access to regular health care (as opposed to hospitalization) costs money. It's even worse that you need a supplemental plan to cover additional costs.
But the absolute worst is shopping for that supplemental plan!

I saw something on social media about the way limitations affect your style and got to thinking, which led to today's post at the Treehouse Writers blog.

Bay Area peeps: just saw a notice on Next Door saying ICE us at the Target in Emeryville. There's a Home Depot nearby as well. Pay attention.

Fuck Kavanaugh stops all my homies hate Kavanaugh stops

(for purposes of this post I'm including a federal district judge who just rightly concluded that the Supreme Court's racial profiling order is *not* controlling precedent under the umbrella of 'my homies')

Federal Judge Has No Interest In Taking Brett Kavanaugh’s Racial Profiling Opinion Seriously
The Trump administration cited Kavanaugh’s infamous concurrence to justify its immigration arrests. Judge Beryl Howell was having none of it.

As of Monday, Trump has fired over 100 immigration judges, essentially on suspicion of them being judges, as opposed to sure-thing compliant cogs in the mass deportation machine

Trump Has Never Been Clearer About What an Immigration Judge’s Real Job Is
The president doesn’t want immigration judges who handle cases by the book. He wants immigration judges who will rubber-stamp his mass deportations agenda.

NEW: Judge Howell barred the Trump administration from continuing to make warrantless immigration arrests in DC unless there is probable cause to believe there is a risk of flight.

The admin illegally lowered the standard, she said.

The president is a political cartoon of corruption come to life, a gaudy grifter who is selling off pardons and lining his pockets, building a golden ballroom and protecting his fellow sex predator elites, all the while regular Americans are suffering and struggling to make ends meet.

Statehood for D.C. is an ethical obligation at this point, required to protect the rights of our residents to govern ourselves against such out-of-state troops being sent to patrol our city.
NEW: Republican-led states, in a new filing at the D.C. Circuit, say D.C. residents are irrelevant, D.C. belongs to everyone else. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

The filing is led by the South Carolina and West Virginia attorneys general. Both states sent troops to DC.

Dear Medicare: the only mental health care I need is replacing Dr. Oz as head of CMS, along withrepair of all the damage done by him and others bent on destroying the parts of our health care system that actually work.
