The IDF is going to blame Hamas for this, but they just keep creating people who want to fight Israel, prolonging their never-ending war.

Trump won’t take no for an answer. Not from voters or the loyalists he’s surrounded himself with. “He is assuming there will be no one in his administration to tell him no,” Marc Elias says. Attacks on voters work best when no one's watching. Keep an eye on Trump: demdock.com/3T3Owjg

It has been 118 years since the Supreme Court ruled the federal government owes tribes water, but Native American communities in northern Arizona are still fighting for their rights to the Colorado River. (Published June)

Native American Tribes Came Together to Secure Their Rights to Colorado River Water. Four States Are Stalling the Deal.

Colorado, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming are resisting the deal because it would allow the Navajo and Hopi to lease water to cities downstream, likely the growing towns around Phoenix.

⚠️ Weeks before the midterms, Georgia's GOP-controlled election board is asking the Trump DOJ to declare the state's federally certified voting machines illegal. It's an extraordinary attack by unelected officials — and the DOJ has no legal authority to do it.

Studying @daphnarenan.bsky.social and @nikobowie.bsky.social’s book SUPREMACY for our event on Sunday and it is astonishing how quickly the Republican Party began to transform after the Civil War.

IT DID NOT TAKE LONG for Lost Cause arguments to creep into Republican discourse. In 1867, when Henry Raymond became the most prominent Republican editor to oppose Reconstruction, his language echoed Pollard's. Although Raymond had initially been critical of white Southerners for asking the Court to resist Congress's authority, he nevertheless agreed with Pollard that black suffrage was "subversive of that system of 'regulated, American liberty'... which our fathers gave us, which is embodied in the Constitution of the United States, and which has been respected and maintained by the unbroken practice and traditions of the successive administrations of our Government from the very beginning of its history." Raymond added that if radical Republicans had their way, "the party which has thrust negro suffrage upon the South shall not shrink from forcing it upon the North." He therefore defended the Court as a necessary obstacle to "Congressional suprem-defended the Court as a necessary obstacle to "Congressional suprem. acy" and to the radical goal of constructing "absolute political equality» on the graves of the states.
The Times's early attacks on Congress were parried by most other Republicans, including Horace Greeley of the New-York Tribune. Yet Greeley also began to question whether the Constitution permitted Congress to permanently dictate the affairs of white Southerners. Even as he endorsed the Reconstruction Acts of 1867, Greeley traveled to Pollard's hometown of Richmond to sign the bail bond that freed Jefterson
Davis.
