So SCOTUS went on a full blown murder spree today. That is what happened. That is the current state of the state. Smoke ‘em if you’ve got ‘em. #law #democracy #TheNewColossus #Trump #racism #WhiteSupremacy #immigration #PartisanCourt #ActivistCourt #WhiteChristianNationalism

Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame, With conquering limbs astride from land to land; Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame. "Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

…#Trump has not publicly commented on the #ReflectingPool algae problem. On Monday, he posted that he would host a Trump rally on July 4 “with the backdrop of the Lincoln Memorial and surrounding the beautifully new Reflecting Pool.” #kakistocracy #GovernmentWaste #TaxpayersMoney

A higher value of that metric, known as the normalized difference chlorophyll index (NDCI), points to more algae in the water, Menendez said. Menendez’s analysis detected more algae in the #ReflectingPool in an image taken Saturday — in the week after it reopened — […] [Original post on masto.ai]

#Trump has also “voiced concern” at what financial relief might be provided for #Iran as part of the deal, wary of comparisons to the falsely characterized “pallets of cash” that were delivered under the Obama-era nuclear deal he derides as weak. The latest volley […] [Original post on masto.ai]

Fact check on “pallets-of-cash” claim from Snopes In short, elements of the claim are true but the social media posts and Trump's speech omitted key context. The Obama administration did approve a $1.7 billion payment to Iran in 2016 and later reporting said the money was delivered in foreign cash. The payment was not simply given or a gift to the Islamic Republic. It represented the settlement of a decades-old legal dispute regarding $400 million that Iran paid the U.S., before the 1979 Iranian Revolution, for military equipment it never received, plus roughly $1.3 billion in interest. As a result, we've rated this claim a mixture of true and false information.

The purged news releases covered cases including: • Daniel Rodriguez, who pleaded guilty to driving an electroshock device into the neck of former Washington, D.C. Metropolitan Police Department Officer Michael Fanone, and was sentenced to more than 12 years in prison. • Albuquerque Head, who pleaded guilty to assaulting police and grabbing Fanone by the neck and pulling him into the mob of rioters while yelling, "I've got one!" Head was sentenced to more than seven years in prison. • Thomas Webster, who was convicted by a jury of assaulting law enforcement with a metal flagpole, tackling a police officer to the ground and trying to remove the officer's gas mask. Webster was sentenced to 10 years in prison. • Christopher Alberts, who was convicted by a jury of assaulting police with a wooden pallet and carrying a loaded handgun on Capitol grounds. Alberts was sentenced to seven years in prison. • Peter Schwartz, who was convicted by a jury of assaulting police officers with pepper spray and throwing a metal chair at law enforcement. Schwartz was sentenced to 14 years in prison. The previously-accessible news releases now lead to "Page not found" message.
