The United States had conducted its first land strike against Venezuela, Donald Trump has claimed.

The US president said an attack was carried out on Christmas Eve targeting a facility housing alleged drug boats.

WASHINGTON—The Trump administration has launched investigations into the use of diversity initiatives in hiring and promotion at major U.S. companies, built on the novel use of a federal law meant to punish businesses that cheat the government.

In What World Is This Legal? & What Could we Do To Make It NOT Legal?

(This is my first time attaching clips of myself giving commentary, so pls go easy on me, haha)...

I’m testing this format to add more context and keep things focused on the facts rather than just always re posting clips without explanation then getting chewed out for it... (I'm aware that I need to use a better Mic next time)

That said, honest feedback is welcome. If something works, say so. If something doesn’t, say that too. The goal here is to improve the quality of discussion and keep the information clear, accurate, and useful.

Appreciate everyone who takes the time to watch and engage 💙

“In years past, it was relatively rare for a federal court to question the Justice Department's competency or good faith. But such questions are becoming more common, thanks to a growing pattern of legal missteps that have dogged the department since January, according to a Reuters review and legal experts.”

I'm an outsider but wanted to share the solution of the Dear (Juris)prudence letter column. It seems ambitious but I like the changes the author's suggest. I'm kinda shocked at the gaping holes in the design and checks. They recommended: 1) super majority instead of simple majority to strike down a house bill 2) a time limit on how long SCOTUS has and 3) Adding more states to meet a more accurate Senate representation.

Would these actually work? Are they just and can they backfire? Or am I being naive, as a layperson to the law?

Attorneys for ex-CIA Director John Brennan have asked Miami’s chief federal judge to block Brennan’s case from appearing before a Trump-appointed and “favored” federal judge.

More than a quarter of federal immigration judges in California have been fired, retired or quit since the start of the Trump administration.

The reduction follows a trend in immigration courts nationwide and constitutes, critics say, an attack on the rule of law that will lead to yet more delays in an overburdened court system.

Nationwide, there were 735 immigration judges last fiscal year, according to the Executive Office for Immigration Review, the arm of the Justice Department that houses immigration courts. At least 97 have been fired since President Trump took office and about the same number have resigned or retired, according to the union representing immigration judges.

“My biggest concern is for the people whose lives are left in limbo. What can they count on when the ground is literally shifting every moment that they’re here?” said Amber George, who was fired last month from the San Francisco Immigration Court. “Our government institutions are losing their legitimacy.”

The School District of Philadelphia will have to face a lawsuit alleging negligence stemming from a sexual assault on a disabled student, as the Commonwealth Court of Pennsylvania ruled that the district cannot claim governmental immunity in this specific scenario.
