Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen pushed back Monday at the growing condemnation of her agency’s practice of separating migrant families at the border, telling a gathering of law enforcement officers, “We will not apologize for the job we do,” the Washington Post reports. “In a speech at the meeting of National Sheriffs’ Association in New Orleans, Nielsen drew rousing applause when she directed her remarks at ‘a selected few in the media, Congress and the advocacy community’ whom she accused of mischaracterizing the Trump administration’s border crackdown.” She added: “This department will no longer stand by and watch you attack law enforcement for enforcing the laws passed by Congress.

    “The U. S. Supreme Court on Wednesday effectively ordered Louisiana to hold this fall’s congressional elections using two Black majority districts instead of one,” the New Orleans Times-Picayune reports. “The high court did so by suspending a three-judge panel’s decision that threw out a map drawn by the Louisiana Legislature in January to create two minority-majority districts.”

  • 'You're A Wuss': George Conway Rips 'Scared' Trump For Not Testifying
    Crooks and Liars, Wednesday - 05/15/2024 - 05:41 PM

    George Conway turned directly to the camera and addressed Donald Trump about why he will not testify in his election interference trial. Trump's lawyers indicated they haven't made a decision about his testimony, but as Conway pointed out, he'd be shredded in about 3 minutes because, as one of Trump's prior lawyers pointed out, "he's an effing liar." Conway also reminded viewers that he doesn't listen to his lawyers, instead making his own poor decisions about how the trial should go, which is why the cross-examination of Stormy Daniels was such a failure. "If he doesn't testify, it's not going to be because he all of a sudden decided to follow legal advice," Conway asserted.
