In my humble opinion, Chief Justice of The SCOTUS John Roberts is in bed with the Heritage Foundation. Maybe even its Architect.

The Heritage Foundation author of Project 2025, is the culprit. The Board:

Michael W. Gleba, Vice Chairman
Larry P. Arnn, PhD

Yes, I do. Enough is enough. From Balfour to present it's been a nightmare. The responsibility lies with the Israelis themselves. Stop!
Do you want Israel to be sanctioned?

Not their settlements, some meaningless sanction that can be avoided by changing a sticker.

But Israel itself, for Crimes against Humanity.

Spread the word if you do.

There must have been some fear about the outcome.
Update: House Republican leaders have cancelled the votes slated for Thursday, including the vote on Rep. Thomas Massie’s impeachment articles against Hegseth. This means that the body won’t reconvene until after the midterm elections.

I see that people are hanging their hat on an argument that goes thus: Agencies entered into 287(g) agreements without proper process, which means the agreements are invalid.

First, most sheriff offices can enter into contracts with the federal government, including 287(g), on their own.

NEW: In a loss for North Carolina voters, a state appeals court made it easier for the GOP-led state election board to continue adopting restrictive voting measures.

While the ruling — which upheld a GOP law — is expected to be appealed to the state supreme court, a different outcome is unlikely.

Trump isn’t a Russian asset—he and Putin are ideological allies.

Both Putin and Trump want to end competitive elections, the rule of law and individual rights, so they can rob from the taxpayers and enrich themselves and their friends without any consequences.
