FASCISM MARCHES ON!:
We Don’t Need Know Edjicashun:
The Supreme Court agreed on Monday that the Trump administration can proceed with dismantling the Education Department by firing more than a thousand workers.
The order is a significant victory for the administration and could ease President Trump’s efforts to sharply curtail the federal government’s role in the nation’s schools.
The Trump administration has announced plans to fire more than 1,300 workers, a move that would effectively gut the department, which manages federal loans for college, tracks student achievement and enforces civil rights laws in schools.
Can’t have a Fascist Dictator w/o giving said dictator dictatorial powers. Like the Supreme Court continues to do.
We Don’t Need No Steenkin’ Ethics Advisors Neither:
The US attorney general, Pam Bondi, fired the justice department’s top ethics adviser on Friday, the latest in a series of dismissals that comes as Donald Trump and allies have sought retribution against civil servants in the agency.
Joseph Tirrell, who had served as the head of the justice department’s ethics office, since 2023, revealed he had been fired in a post on LinkedIn. He shared Bondi’s letter to him, which misspelled his name and did not give a reason for his termination.
Neither Tirrell nor the justice department returned a request for comment.
“My public service is not over, and my career as a Federal civil servant is not finished,” Tirrell wrote in the post. “I took the oath at 18 as a Midshipman to ‘support and defend the constitution of the United States’. I have taken that oath at least five more times since then. That oath did not come with the caveat that I need only support the constitution when it is easy or convenient.”
Uh oh. Hope he doesn’t end up in South Sudan.
Gotta Fill Those ICE Concentration Camps:
In the past, immigrants residing in the U.S. interior generally have been allowed to request a bond hearing before an immigration judge. But Lyons wrote that the Trump administration’s departments of Homeland Security and Justice had “revisited its legal position on detention and release authorities” and determined that such immigrants “may not be released from ICE custody.” In rare exceptions immigrants may be released on parole, but that decision will be up to an immigration officer, not a judge, he wrote.
Perhaps Trump can persuade Bibi to bomb the camps as no one has had more experience in killing masses of innocents recently.
You’re smart. You know this shit is real. The DNC ain’t coming to save us. Ain’t trying, either.
The ‘Dissolute Recriminations’ Guy Is Back. Looking and sounding more like a Pierre LePew doppelganger every time:
For two decades, Delaware has been a laboratory for progressive economic policy. From expanded social programs to aggressive minimum wage hikes, from increased business regulations to generous unemployment benefits, our state has faithfully implemented the liberal playbook. The results are now clear: these well-intentioned policies have created an economic mirage that appears successful on paper, while systematically excluding tens of thousands of Delawareans from productive economic participation and ultimately leading to an income tax increase.
Delaware politicians celebrate the state’s 3.6% unemployment rate and rising wages as evidence that progressive policies work. But the real story lies in what they don’t mention: our labor force participation rate has collapsed from 65.7% in 2005 to just 59.0% today. If Delaware had maintained its 2005 participation levels, our unemployment rate would actually be 10.3%.
This represents roughly 45,000 to 50,000 working-age Delawareans who have simply stopped looking for work. They haven’t disappeared—they’ve been absorbed into an expanding web of government dependency programs that progressive policymakers have steadily enlarged over the past two decades.
Blahblahblah and so on. Charles ‘Bouvier de Flanders’ Copeland had his family bailed out due to their Delaware Way connections. Otherwise, he might have to work for a living.
Rep. Mara Gorman Is The Legislative Rookie Of The Year:
The governor signs four bills from State Rep. Mara Gorman (D-Newark) into law, putting several immigrant protection and civil liberties bills across the legal finish line.
House Bill 142 will prohibit a warrantless arrest by a private person in the case of an individual accused in the courts of another state of a felony. It would also strike a provision relating to the authority of an officer to command assistance in making arrests based on charges in another state.
House Bill 152, will expand the criminal offense of impersonating law enforcement officials to also prohibit the impersonation of a federal officer.
The legislation passed unanimously in both chambers of the General Assembly in June following the recent murders and attempted murders of two state elected officials and their spouses in Minnesota by a private citizen impersonating a police officer.
The bill also follow reports of two suspects impersonating ICE officers in Milton during an armed robbery last month, which the Delaware Department of Justice says is still under investigation.
House Bill 153, similar to HB 142, prohibits arrest or detention by any person who does not have explicit statutory authority to carry out an arrest or detention, commonly referred to as a “citizen’s arrest.”
The fourth bill, House Bill 182, prohibits law-enforcement agencies from entering into agreements with federal immigration authorities to enforce immigration violations or share immigration enforcement related data.
“This is an attempt, particularly House Bill 182, is an attempt to say to communities in Delaware that law enforcement officials in Delaware are here for your safety. They are here to protect you,” Gov. Meyer said during the bill the signing.
“I want every Delawarean and every person who lives here, who works here, who contributes, who pays taxes, and is essential to our communal life, to feel safe,” Gorman said. “And to understand that we want you here and we think that you belong.”
In her first year, Mara Gorman has performed an invaluable public service. Big shout-out to her!
