Politico: “Over 10 weeks since inauguration and nearly a month after Merrick Garland was sworn in as attorney general, the president has yet to fill several critical Justice Department posts, including the assistant attorney generals for the criminal, national security, civil and antitrust divisions, along with a solicitor general. In comparison, Barack Obama had nominated people for all of those positions by his third day in office.” “Justice Department insiders along with people familiar with the situation say the delay is partly the result of a delicate stand-off between Garland and the White House over who they want in the positions.” Garland holds more sway than other Cabinet officials since the White House really doesn’t want to be seen as pressuring the new Attorney General.

Denver Post, Friday - 06/14/2024 - 06:00 PM

Nancy Pallozzi started the petition last week. It lists several concerns with Williams’ leadership, including the party breaking neutrality during this year’s Colorado presidential primary when it backed former President Donald Trump.

Fani Willis Appears to Fire Back at Rudy Giuliani’s “Ho” Attack
Mother Jones, Friday - 06/14/2024 - 03:30 PM
Last Friday, my colleague Stephanie Mencimer had the distinct honor—or misfortune—of witnessing Rudy Giuliani’s apparent attempt to convince the Christian right to help him amid his dire financial troubles. That effort saw Giuliani airing crude, conspiratorial rhetoric before the faithful which at one point, saw Giuliani calling Fani Willis, the Fulton County district attorney in Donald Trump’s Georgia case, a “ho.” Now Willis is responding, condemning the conservative critics who have relentlessly targeted her since she took on Trump’s Georgia election interference case.

Denver Post, Friday - 06/14/2024 - 02:32 PM
WASHINGTON — The U. S. Supreme Court has struck down a ban on bump stocks, the gun accessory used in the deadliest shooting in modern American history — a Las Vegas massacre that killed 60 people and injured hundreds more. The court’s conservative majority said Friday that then-President Donald Trump’s administration overstepped its authority with the 2019 ban on the firearm attachment, which allows semiautomatic weapons to fire like machine guns. Here’s what to know about the case: What are bump stocks? Bump stocks are accessories that replace a rifle’s stock, the part that gets pressed against the shooter’s shoulder.

The Supreme Court Basically Legalizes Machine Guns
Mother Jones, Friday - 06/14/2024 - 02:18 PM
In 2017, it took a shooter 10 minutes to spray more than 1,000 rounds into a crowd watching a Las Vegas concert. He murdered 58 people and injured 500 more in America’s deadliest mass shooting. He did this with a bump stock, an accessory that, for all intents and purposes, transforms semi-automatic rifles into machine guns.
