They say the same things about us Latter-day Saints. But, hey, what’s a little letter from James got to do with real Christianity?
Yet another good thing connected with Biden has been sent down the shitter by the xitterer.
The U.S. Department of Justice said on Wednesday that it is moving to drop police reform agreements, known as consent decrees, that the Biden-era department reached with the cities of Louisville, Kentucky and Minneapolis. The court-enforceable agreements were born out of probes launched after the 2020 police killings of Breonna Taylor and George Floyd .
The agreements with Minneapolis and Louisville, which were intended to address allegations of systemic unconstitutional policing and civil rights violations, were both held up in federal court and have faced several delays, with the DOJ requesting various extensions to file documents requested by the federal judges in each case.
Attorney Ben Crump, who represents the families of Taylor and Floyd, said in a statement on Wednesday that the decision is a “slap in the face.”
And why now? Oh, maybe, just perhaps…
“The Trump administration is a mess,” Frey said, referencing the various delays requested by the White House in federal court. “It is predictable that they would move for a dismissal the very same week that George Floyd was murdered five years ago. What this shows is that all Donald Trump really cares about is political theater.”
Vance doesn’t know what the constitution says about the branches of our government; he wants the Supreme Court to “be deferential to” his owner master boss.

The Supreme Court Just Told The Trump Administration To Stop Their BS

Early Friday evening, the Supreme Court issued a pointed decision in the case of a group of Venezuelan detainees who previously faced the imminent risk of being sent to a notorious prison in El Salvador by the Trump administration. In addition to rejecting the administration’s choice to give these detainees only 24 hours notice of their removal, the decision answered a question indirectly posed in the case. Is the highest court in the nation sick of the Trump administration’s bullshit?
The answer, the decision states rather definitively, is yes — at least in immigration cases involving removals under the Alien Enemies Act.
In an eight-page unsigned decision , with only Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas dissenting, the court firmly rejected how the administration has been using the Alien Enemies Act to quickly remove Venezuelan and Salvadoran immigrants with little to no due process while also effectively calling the administration liars, in so many words.
And now felon47 is going full on North Korea (I guess he really does love Kim Jong-Un), punishing a family member of his political opponent.
So why do I say the felon is doing that? Later in the article is this bit:
A flurry of conservative accounts piled on to Terrell’s tweet, some even crying “treason .”
Trump, meanwhile, is fanning the flames of a Biden family pile-on—despite his apparently heartfelt well wishes to his old political foe on Sunday.
You arrive at your citizenship interview expecting to receive good news. You get arrested instead.
ICE has imprisoned a Danish father of four due to a “paperwork miscommunication,” his American wife said.
Kasper Juul Eriksen, a 32-year-old welder legally in the country with a fifth child on the way, was detained by ICE during a citizenship appointment on April 15 because of a decade-old “paperwork miscommunication,” his wife said.
Savanah Eriksen said they were blindsided when they arrived in Memphis, Tennessee, at what they believed would be a routine interview in the “final stage of obtaining his permanent American citizenship.”
After driving three hours north from their home in Sturgis, Mississippi, Savannah said her husband was confronted by ICE agents who took him into custody and explained there was a paperwork error dating back to 2015. He was then taken to an ICE detention facility in rural Jena, Louisiana, where he remains today.
What’s the delay in getting him in front of a judge?
Oh, that’s right. This administration doesn’t have any respect for the courts.
There was “mayhem” outside an immigration court in Phoenix Tuesday, as federal agents arrested several people, including one person whose case had just been dismissed.
Immigration attorney Issac Ortega told the Arizona Mirror
Ortega’s client, a Venezuelan man in his mid-twenties who had entered the United States last fall using the CBP One app, had been told during his hearing that ICE had agreed to close his immigration case. Shortly after, federal agents moved to detain him and others outside the courthouse. Similar to other immigration arrests , the agents provided no identification or warrant.
But, hey, we’re all in good hands. Jerry! Jerry! Jerry!
Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. started an angry rant during a hearing Tuesday, prompting a Republican senator to urge him to “hold back.”
Kennedy’s outburst came after Sen. Patty Murray (D-WA) slammed drastic staffing and funding cuts at his department, and asked whose decision it was to withhold certain childcare and development funds.
Kennedy began by criticizing former President Joe Biden’s administration, and when Murray tried to get him back on track, he snapped back: “You know what, you’ve made an accusation and I’m going to answer it.”
Kennedy then launched into into a heated personal tirade against Murray, who tried to rein him in to no avail.
“I want to point out something senator, you’ve presided here, I think, for 32 years. You’ve presided over the destruction of the health of the American people,” he said as he raised his voice.
“Seriously?” Murray interjected repeatedly as Kennedy barged on. “Our people are now the sickest people in the world because you have not done your job!” he exclaimed.
And, of course, yet another cabinet member who doesn’t know what the constitution says.
Kristi Noem , the Department of Homeland Security secretary, surprised members of a Senate hearing by appearing not to understand what a fundamental right that the White House is threatening to suspend actually means.
Sitting before the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, Noem repeated a recent claim made by Stephen Miller , a Trump administration official, that they are “looking at” suspending habeas corpus in order to deport undocumented immigrants.
Habeas corpus allows people to challenge the legality of their detainment, and has been a right in the United States since 1789.
But when asked by Senator Maggie Hassan to define it, Noem claimed it is “a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country.”
More Razzies caliber political theater with the IRS commissioner confirmation hearing.
Trump’s IRS Pick Turns Into Babbling Mess as Senator Warren Grills Him
The likely next head of the Internal Revenue Service refuses to say whether President Trump is allowed to use the agency to strip organizations of their nonprofit status as he sees fit.
Senator Elizabeth Warren had IRS commissioner nominee Billy Long visibly shaken with a series of questions during his confirmation hearing Tuesday regarding the legality of Trump levying the IRS against nonprofit groups he doesn’t like.
“I sent you the statute, you’ve had three weeks to talk to the lawyers about it. So let’s jump in. Mr. Long, is it illegal for the president to direct the IRS to revoke a taxpayer’s nonprofit status?”
“In the first place, he wouldn’t do that—”
“That’s not my question, Mr. Long, please don’t start down this—”
“Are we on section 72-12 or 72-17?”
“I’m at 26 U.S.C 72-17. Do I need to read it to you?”
“Prohibits any member of the executive branch to request the IRS to conduct or terminate an audit on a taxpayer,” Long read aloud from the statue.
“Alrighty. So is it illegal?”
“I’m gonna follow the law, and if that’s the law, yes.”
It’s rather amusing, in a sad, pathetic way.
By the way, are you concerned the administration’s deportation efforts are costing you, the taxpayer buckets and boatloads of money? Fear not! The admin has you covered.
A woman living in southern Florida who first entered the United States illegally 20 years ago has been fined $1.82m by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) for failing to leave the country.
The mother of three gave an emotional on-camera interview to CBS News Miami, in which she was identified only as “Maria,” to express her shock. The 41 year-old appealed for clemency, particularly on behalf of her children, all of whom are American citizens, who she said would suffer if she were to be deported.
Maria said she was originally from Honduras but had entered California without the proper documentation in February 2005.
After failing to appear at a scheduled immigration hearing two months later, she was ordered to return home but instead settled in Miami-Dade , Florida, where she has lived for two decades and raised her children, now teenagers.
Then, on May 9 this year, she received a letter from ICE informing her that, under the seldom-used Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952, she was being fined $500 for every subsequent day she had spent in the U.S., a penalty that now stands at $1,821,350, which she was given just 30 days to pay.
And now the felon wants the Supremes to let DOGE say “We don’t need no steeking records!”
The Trump administration wants the Supreme Court to intervene in its fight to prevent DOGE from being subject to open records laws.
In an emergency request filed on May 21, the Justice Department asked the court to pause judicial orders requiring DOGE produce documents and testimony about its operations as a federal court decides whether the Department of Government Efficiency started by Elon Musk must comply with the Freedom of Information Act.
The administration argues DOGE is a presidential advisory body so is exempt from the nation’s premier public disclosure law.
The felon is back at insulting people who know what they’re doing and doing their jobs correctly and competently.

“Who do you work for?” Trump asked.
“NOTUS,” the reporter replied.
“Who?” Trump asked again.
“NOTUS.”
“I don’t even know what the hell that is,” Trump said. “Get yourself a real job.”
Monday must have been Opposite Day .
[quote]“I’m offended” by “this idea that I don’t take classification or I don’t take clearances seriously,” Hegseth told Fox News’ Will Cain in an interview that aired Monday.
“Nobody takes that more seriously than me,” the top Donald Trump Cabinet official insisted to his onetime colleague at the conservative network.
That’s okay, Pete. I’m sure you’ll signal us when that changes.
The felon is peeved at people supporting his opponent, so he’s weaponizing the government against them.
In a post on Truth Social early Monday, Donald Trump said he would be directing the federal government to conduct a “major investigation ” into how much money Kamala Harris paid celebrity musicians to endorse her during her 2024 campaign, including the likes of Springsteen, Beyoncé, and U2’s Bono.
One day later, the late-night post appeared less like a stray arrow and more like an administrative agenda.
Read the whole article. It’s a real window into the workings of a lunatic’s so-called mind. It all boils down to revenge, as the article’s writer put it.
Finally and again, we are well and truly screwed.
