Far more transgender persons have served in the US military than have Trump family members.

Of one thing we can be certain. Far more transgenders have served in the US military than have Trump family members.

So Cadet Bone Spurs is able to bar people who WANT to serve. I’m so thoroughly disgusted right now.

BREAKING - SCOTUS DECLINES to take up DACA case this term

. They could in the future but this is a huge repudiation of the Trump administration’s efforts to force the court to do their dirty work on DACA on an expedited, political timeline.




Supreme Court again takes no action on DACA, leaving policy in effect for now

Washington (CNN)The Supreme Court on Tuesday once again did not act on the Trump administration's effort to end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, leaving protections for nearly 700,000 undocumented immigrants who came to the US as children in place for at least the next several months.

The court's inaction is a loss for the Trump administration that had asked for the justices to take up the issue this fall and comes as the President has tried to exchange protections in exchange for a border wall.

"The justices' refusal to act on the government's pending appeals in the DACA litigation means, among other things, that President Trump can't use this litigation, at least for now, for leverage in negotiations over the government shutdown," said Steve Vladeck, CNN Supreme Court analyst and professor of law at the University of Texas School of Law.

"Even if the court agrees to take up these cases, the earliest it would hear them now is this fall, with no decision until early 2020," Vladeck added. "That kicks the debate over DACA back to the political branches."

MLK's Son Shuts Down Pence: My Father Was A 'Bridge Builder, Not A Wall Builder'

Martin Luther King III on Monday responded to Pence’s Face the Nation interview, during which the VP used a quote from MLK’s famous “I Have a Dream” speech to make a case for Trump’s wall.

“Martin Luther King Jr was a bridge builder, not a wall builder,” said King, according to Atlantic writer Edward-Isaac Dovere. “Martin Luther King Jr. would say, ‘Love, not hate, will make America great.'”

During his interview, Pence repeated MLK’s quote “Now is the time to make real the promises of democracy” and declared that’s “exactly” what Trump was doing by demanding $5.7 billion for his unpopular border wall.

Hakeem Jeffries: "Jim Crow may be dead he's still got some nieces & nephews that are alive & well."

Hakeem Jeffries at the National Action Network: "We have a hater in the White House. Birther-in-Chief. The Grand Wizard of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. One of the things we've learned is that while Jim Crow may be dead he's still got some nieces and nephews that are alive and well."

Charles Pierce: State of Play-Covington Catholic School

@CharlesPPierce

State Of Play: Newest.
1) Catholic boys, in town to advocate chucking the privacy rights of 51 percent of Americans overboard, get heckled by well-known cadre of political loons.
2) CB's heckle back.
3 Nathan Phillips steps in. /1

4) Phillips chants Native chant that's probably been a prayer longer than "Our Father" has been.
5) Outraged by one group of loons of color, CB's are compelled, mind you, to mock Phillips because...Not White.
6) Wingnut outrage at high tide.
7) MSM turtles. /2

The Covington boys were in D.C. for the sole purpose of promoting male control of women's bodies.

Teenagers bussed in to demand adult women be subjected to forced childbearing.

They weren’t on a field trip to the Smithsonian.
