A federal judge strikes down Trump administration immigration policy affecting 39 countries ~
In a nutshell, US District Judge John McConnell Jr. said that the #trump admin ignored the law and did whatever it wanted, justifying its actions with bogus 'national security’ pretexts as a cover for anti-immigrant bias that it is not supposed to let influence its decision making.

#SCOTUS upholds #trans #athlete bans
The ruling is another setback for #transgender people.
The court’s conservative majority, which has repeatedly ruled against transgender Americans in the past year, ruled that #state bans in #Idaho & #WestVirginia don’t violate the #Constitution or the federal #law known as #TitleIX, which prohibits #sex #discrimination in education.
>2 dozen other #Republican led states have adopted bans on female transgender athletes.

🚨‼️🚨‼️🚨
#SCOTUS upholds #BirthrightCitizenship, rejecting #Trump proposed limits
SCOTUS Tuesday upheld a broad conception of birthright citizenship, rejecting Trump’s EO declaring #children born to parents in the #US illegally or temporarily are not US #citizens. The decision, in line with the longstanding judicial interpretation of the #14thAmendment, comes on the final day of a SCOTUS term that has centered on Trump’s expansive claims of #PresidentialPower.

#SCOTUS strikes down limits on party #spending in federal #elections
SCOTUS Tuesday erased limits on how much political parties can spend in coordination w/candidates for #Congress & #president, striking down a federal #ElectionLaw that’s >50 years old.
Prodded by a #Republican led lawsuit that includes VP #JDVance, SCOTUS’ conservative justices were again in the majority of the decision that upended congressionally enacted limits on raising & spending #money #influence #elections.
It’ll probably be as well done as the no-bid #ReflectingPool.

The secret agreement was routed through a #WhiteHouse office that typically handles repairs & furnishings & is exempt from competitive bidding requirements.

#ICE arrest of #nun heading to church fuels #bipartisan backlash in South Texas
#Trump #deportation drive has riled border areas that supported him in 2024, & a GOP congresswoman joined Democrats calling for the sister’s release.
Sister Leticia “Letty” Ugboaja was walking to Sunday Mass in McAllen, TX, when federal #immigration officers stopped her, confiscated her rosary & put her in handcuffs.

So why did #JDVance say it did?

Such a scandal of #crime & #corruption could easily happen again — [especially in a nation where #Trump controls the #press, the rule of #law only applies to his enemies & the courts have been subjugated by a #corrupt #SCOTUS].

So much for the foreign & domestic #emoluments clauses…
#Trump reported >$1.4 billion in income from #crypto, digital #tokens & related partnerships in 2025, appearing to have SUBSTANTIALLY increased his income after reentering the White House last year.
The income was reported in 927 pages of financial disclosure forms, which the #WhiteHouse released Tuesday.

🗨️ 👩🏽💻 The #majority decision does not always embody what is right; that's why #children and the needy in a #society must ALWAYS be protected - that must be the #law for all of #humanity!
Ergo: There are no exceptions for rogue states!
Anyone who kills children and destroys world cultural heritage is the enemy of our species—they deserve no waste of time, resources, or thought!
No mercy for Israel!
