In Loving, Virginia argued that laws prohibiting interracial marriage applied to both races in the same way that Tennessee argued that laws against gender affirming care applied to both sexes.
It's confusing because Justice Jackson is very smart and most blue checks not so much.

Joe Biden was right to pardon his son. Trump pardoned his criminal co-conspirators. He's gonna pardon terrorists. ENTIRELY MISS ME with your dumb arguments about how Democrats must follow rules Republicans ignore.

This is simply not correct. The Civil Rights Act bans discrimination on the basis of religion, which is not an immutable characteristic.

I'm happy to see that this proposed ban failed and am grateful for my colleaguesāparticularly my republican colleaguesāwho recognized this as a distraction from the work we were elected to do.
I'm ready to represent my constituents & look forward to working on behalf of Montana.

Forget that for a sec and think about how cool it is that in 2024 you really can change your gender if you want to. Everyone should be so free.

Jane Fonda sets Bill straight.
Maher: "[People] just think the far left has gone so nutty on so many issues."
Fonda: "That's what they're being told, by people like you."

āWhat should have been done instead is, Democrats should have stayed in nights, weekends, whatever it took, to get votes on all of them. And trading off these four circuits is a bad trade.ā ā Jake Faleschini (@SoundPolicy), AFJ Justice Program Director nj.com/news/2024/12/a-maga-jā¦

There's even more than this going on. David Weiss WASN'T going to charge either of these (he hadn't even investigated gun crime before Statutes of limitation expired). But he did bc of political pressure from House and Trump (and threats to his family). So the charges are problem

BREAKING: Senate Judiciary Democrats request complete evidentiary file from the FBI regarding the investigation of Matt Gaetz.
Zack Ford retweeted
Mike Johnson is being called a hypocrite for covering for Matt Gaetz.
But I argue that, at this point, covering for bad men should be considered a religious tradition for the Christian right.

This is a blatant attempt from far right-wing extremists to distract from the fact that they have no real solutions to what Americans are facing. We should be focused on bringing down the cost of housing, health care, and child care, not manufacturing culture wars.
Delawareans sent me here to make the American dream more affordable and accessible and thatās what Iām focused on.

AFJ and @AFJBeBold call on members of Congress to reject H.R. 9495. We join others in calling it the āKill Nonprofits Billā due to language in Section 4 of the billās text. The House is expected to take up the bill this week.

So after ducking and dodging for weeks, Walters is now admitting that he used taxpayer funds intended for students to purchase $60 Trump Bibles made in China.

Iām not a spokesperson for a movement, Iām a voice for all Delawareans ā and when we see the incoming administration talk negatively about any vulnerable community, I guarantee you itās an attempt to distract from the fact that in that same moment, they are picking the pockets of American workers and fleecing seniors by trying to privatize critical programs like social security and medicare.
