The nation’s largest private prison company is asking the Supreme Court to give federal contractors blanket immunity from lawsuits — including human trafficking claims.

If they win, private contractors could operate with even less accountability than they do now.

The Human Trafficking Case That Could Hand Government Contractors Blanket Immunity

In a little-noticed Supreme Court case, the country’s largest private prison operator argues companies should be shielded from lawsuits when doing the government’s dirty work.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but the CDC is being eviscerated right now. America is not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight. Americans’ health data is no longer secure. Say goodbye to federal public health in any capacity. It’s a disaster. We won’t recover.

Trump's mental decline is being talked about openly. Even Mike Johnson can't disagree. www.signorile.com/p/pritzker-z...

Pritzker zeroed in on Trump's mental decline. Every Democrat should be!

He followed Rep. Dean and Senator Gallego. The corporate media will only ask questions about Trump's mental state if Democrats turn up the volume.
