Not terribly surprising, and the question how many Virginia Supreme Court justices keep their jobs after this.
*VIRGINIA’S TOP COURT BLOCKS DEMOCRATS’ NEW CONGRESSIONAL MAP

Just in: The Court of International Trade has struck down a second round of global tariffs ordered by President Trump, after his earlier import taxes were outlawed by the U.S. Supreme Court. The decision is a victory for importers and a setback for the administration.

NEWS: The Epstein files are now bound into 3,437 physical volumes in a new exhibition space in Tribeca. Millions of pages. Two stories tall. And yet only two people have ever faced accountability. Katie Phang discusses the rage she felt walking through the space.

Gallego: "It's murder. It's very simple. If this president feels they are doing something illegally, then he should be using the Coast Guard. If this is an act of war, then you use our military and then you come and talk to us first. But this is murder ... it's disgusting."
It’s NOT a Detention Center but it is an American Concentration Camp
Congressman Christian D. Menefee described the appalling conditions at the Dilley Detention Center.
Americans: “Iranians are a bunch of religious fanatics. They’re crazy.” Also: Here’s Donald Trump’s Spiritual Advisor Paula White conducting a mass exorcism.”
Don't forget: my old Yale Law classmate Clarence Thomas refused to recuse from Jan. 6 cases despite his wife's involvement in the plot. And he's taken at least 100 gifts worth over $2 million while serving, including from GOP donor Harlan Crow. He's a disgrace to the Court.
Clarence Thomas is set to become the second-longest-serving justice on the Supreme Court. His legacy is marred by ethics scandals that highlight the lack of accountability for justices. It's past time to reform the Court. bit.ly/42Ql6qg

Lutnick admits to having prolonged ties to Epstein in closed-door interview. So he lied, just like any other sycophant in the felon’s trillion dollar Epstein cabinet. Would he be fired? Is he quiting? No. This is Epstein’s own immediate neighbor and biz partner. www.politico.com/news/2026/05...
