During arguments in a key Supreme Court case, both parties’ attorneys and some of the justices made misleading comments about mail voting. A new analysis corrects the record and warns that voters could pay the price for those mistakes: bit.ly/47SVP1Q

Farmers were told they would get help. Instead, other countries stopped buying their crops. Food sat in storage, and farmers needed government checks to survive. One year later, farm towns are still worried about money. #TrumpsTariffsCostUS

The Trump administration is painting Border Czar Tom Homan as a less extreme and more professional alternative to the leadership of the recently removed Border Patrol head, Greg Bovino, and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. But his record tells a much different story.
motherjones.com
Tom Homan is supposed to fix Trump's Minnesota crisis. His record raises serious questions.
The White House border czar is no moderate.

Horrible violence against a protester in California: www.latimes.com/california/s...
A young protester narrowly avoided being killed but was left permanently blind after a Department of Homeland Security agent fired a nonlethal round at close range during a Santa Ana protest last week, according to family of the victim.

Jeri Rees said her 21-year-old nephew, Kaden Rummler, underwent six hours of surgery and that doctors found shards of plastic, glass and metal embedded in his eyes and around his face, including a metal piece lodged 7 millimeters from a carotid artery.

Acetaminophen is used worldwide as a first line of defense for pain relief and fever reduction, at the recommendation of independent public health and leading medical professionals and in accordance with the product label.
High fevers and pain are widely recognized as potential risks to a pregnancy if left untreated, especially in the first trimester.

I am pleased to report that Hawaii Supreme Court Justice Todd Eddins has dropped another total evisceration of the Supreme Court. He says originalism is a fraud—and the Republican justices are shamelessly making up facts and history to impose radical Christian nationalism: slate.com/news-and-pol...
Justice Eddins went even further in a concurrence joined by two other justices. He flamed the U.S. Supreme Court for choosing to
"steamroll" the First Amendment's separation of church and state by mandating government support of religion. He wrote:
The federal wall cracks. The Supreme Court's recent religious clause cases wreck the relationship between free exercise and non-establishment.... The Roberts Court casually dismisses the lessons of American and world history, the warnings of prominent early Americans, and the judiciary's storied legal minds. Bad things happen unless government and religion are completely separated.
Justice Eddins also wrote about something you and I have been talking about for a long time, which is the conservative supermajority making up facts. He called out Kennedy v.
Bremerton, the notorious "praying coach" case, writing: "As it often does, the Court repackaged and whitewashed facts to achieve a desired outcome." This is the same point that Sherrilyn Ifill has made on the show about how the record in that case, and so many others, is ignored.
