Slaughter is an earthquake: SCOTUS has overturned a 90-year-old precedent that facilitated much of modern governance by granting many agencies meaningful independence from the president. Now SCOTUS crushes that independence ... for seemingly every agency except the Federal Reserve.

What I struggle with is the disproportionate focus. People who can speak endlessly about Israel often have little to say about Hamas, Iran, Sudan, Afghanistan, or the persecution of minorities elsewhere. If the concern is truly human rights, then the moral lens should be applied consistently.

It's not okay to torture people & deprive them of healthy food, water & medical care.
But the Republicans are okay with that. Only 1 party is standing against the #ICELawlessness, brutality & human rights abuses. The Democratic Party.
