Can’t wait to see the affidavit DOJ submitted to get a judge to issue the warrant asserting a supposed basis for probable cause to find evidence at Rep. Omar’s home of an alleged crime by her parents that would have taken place more than 25 years ago.

Many churches have whatever position they have on divorce and remarriage, and many churches including his own either don't allow or else have various restrictions on interfaith marriage. Civil marriage has never been coterminous with the many different religious scopes of marriage in this country.

NEW: The Trump administration keeps denying and downplaying that immigration agents have been detaining Americans. It’s wrong. We’ve found more than 500 U.S. citizens have been held against their will, including handcuffed or held at gunpoint.

This “game” on the White House website, a version of Snake where you play as a white man in a suit and you run around picking up identifiably black, Asian, and Latino men and putting them in orange jumpsuits, might be the most openly white supremacist thing I’ve ever seen the US government produce

It’s mind-blowing that we have literal white nationalists in the White House carrying out unfathomably cruel, abusive, white nationalist policies, and the punditariat has spent the last two weeks debating if some people were too intemperate after a Black man was murdered by cops six years ago.

I thought they all just pulled names from government sources in the US so it wasn’t really a choice, but Mapquest hanging on suggests that’s wrong.

I keep having to explain to associates that documents do not have agency. Plaintiff’s motion does not argue, err, mistake, or engage in some other intentional action, Plaintiff did. Drives me nuts when I’m editing, although it is nice to feel useful.

I was with you on this until a couple of years ago when I developed serious back pain that gets worse the longer I stand. Suddenly wearing black cushioned running shoes in court seemed perfectly reasonable. Having surgery for it week after next, don’t know if I’ll go back to real shoes after.

Chauvin was, in fact, the cause of Floyd’s death. He used a technique that MPD and most other agencies have banned, specifically because it causes death. And the crime for which he was convicted is unintentional second-degree murder, which by definition does not require intent to kill.

Trump just dismantled this so his blatant corruption and his cronies overseas can operate without consequences or detection. Organized crime is now legal and the US is open for exploitation by foreign and domestic criminals. Don’t expect Rubio to say a word.

What happened and "changed our children?" The reauthorization of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act in 1990s that and included autism as a covered disabilities. Schools had to report how many autistic students they served. Who was a cosponsor of that bill? RFK Jr.'s uncle Ted Kennedy.

1973: the American Psychiatric Association removed homosexuality from the DSM. Not a political favor — the science never supported it being classified as an illness. Every major U.S. medical body (APA, AMA, AAP) has agreed for decades: being gay isn't a disorder. #LGBTQ #TransRights

There’s so much wrong with all of this, but no. 5 in particular caught my attention: “By nearly all measures of science, if there was evidence of a natural origin it would have already surfaced. But it hasn’t.” “By nearly all measures of science…” WTF does that even mean?
