Here is the TLDR of the 9th Circuit hearing: DOJ will lose. It will be either 2-1 or 3-0. It will be on jurisdiction and perhaps on the merits. The argument was a debacle for Trump and the DOJ lawyer who argued it. Watch for details. www.youtube.com/live/EsuYPbm...

If Hamilton is a Dem unicorn then so, too, is Sen. Warnock. “It’s not just that Hamilton is a religious Democrat… He’s also a deeply talented public speaker… authoritative religious voice willing — unlike most pastors — to wade directly into electoral politics. He is, in other words, a unicorn.”
I went out to Kansas earlier this month, to see what Methodist pastor @hamilton4kansas.bsky.social is up to, how his faith message is landing with voters, and to see what exactly is being preached at his megachurch. Turns out, a lot of national Dems might want to pay attention too. Gift link below

Financial & property sanctions by middle powers against Russia under multilateral alliances with Ukraine provide effective enforcement of international laws against invasions. Does this establish the model for hybrid military & economic war against Russia by border countries like Finland & Poland?
Finland and Austria have frozen Russian-owned assets worth approximately $500 million as part of a legal campaign by Ukraine’s state energy company Naftogaz to recover compensation for property seized by Russia in Crimea in 2014, The Wall Street Journal reports.
“1) Identify issue. 2) Create front groups to make noise. 3) Fund GOP in Congress & GOP AGs’ law suits. 4) Lose at the lower court level. This is key. 5) Move case to SCOTUS 6) Front groups flood SCOTUS w/ amicus. 7) 6 conservative justices craft rulings based on Leo amicus. 8) Another Leo win.”

“The silence of other national GOPers about the spike in anti-Indian rhetoric & violence has been similarly deafening for the South Asian community. “JD Vance has said absolutely nothing about this attempted mass shooting in Illinois,” said Patel, who pointed out… his wife, Usha, is Hindu.”

Why it matters: Attorney General Todd Blanche says “a number of states” could be next. If the DOJ succeeds here, voters elsewhere could see the same playbook used to stop their ballots from being counted. Read more: www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

People can disagree with Ilhan Omar's policies, but if the rhetoric singles her out because she's a Muslim woman, that's not a policy debate. Political attacks that rely on stereotypes, fear, or resentment toward someone's race, religion, or gender should be called out for what they are. UnAmerican
Trump is smearing Ilhan Omar in speeches all over the country now because he is an Islamophobic bigot and he thinks that’s a winning message for Republicans

Many Michiganders in the Upper Peninsula celebrate their Norwegian heritage. Same for Wisconsin, North Dakota, & Minnesota. Trump is insulting MAGA voters in northern Midwest. “so I'm not in love with Norway,” Trump said. “Frankly, Norway sucks. Norway has become a s***house country, actually.”
Trump lashed out at Norway during a Michigan rally after again arguing that his diplomatic record deserved the Nobel Peace Prize.
“according to a poll by GBAO, a public opinion research firm that often polls U.S. Jews. “Jewish voters’ top priorities in this election are the cost of living and the future of democracy,” said Jim Gerstein, a principal with GBAO. “For Jewish voters, Israel is much lower on the priority list.”
DETROIT (RNS) — Abdul El-Sayed, the Democratic candidate, has been a sharp Israel critic, dividing Michigan Jews.
“What message are we sending our children when we demand accountability for everything except the racism directed at them? What are we teaching them when we celebrate the opportunity to play on a grand stage but fail to protect their dignity while they’re standing on it?”
