"#WilliamPaul, the 33-year-old eldest son of #US #Senator #RandPaul (R-#Kentucky), launched into an expletive-filled #antisemitic and anti-#gay rant at a popular #CapitolHill bar on Tuesday night.

According to eyewitnesses, including #Rep. #MikeLawler (R-#NewYork) and a reporter from #NOTUS, William #Paul approached their table at the #TuneInn bar and identified himself as Sen. Rand Paul’s son. What began as a political discussion quickly escalated into a roughly 10-minute drunken tirade.

Paul reportedly said:

“This war, it’s all about the #gays and the #Jews, and I hate them both, and I don’t care if they die.”

He also told #Lawler “your people” would be blamed if Rep. #ThomasMassie loses his primary, then clarified “your people” meant Jews."

The Supreme Court — a body of nine unelected judges who, once confirmed, can serve for life — plays an increasingly powerful role in shaping the laws that govern our country. In recent decades, on topics as varied as labor, employment law, health care and immigration, the court has served as the final arbiter on issues that should be, at least constitutionally speaking, in Congress’ hands.

For 30 years, Congress has been able to rein in the power of federal agencies through the Congressional Review Act, a law that allows federal regulations to be overturned with a simple majority and a signature from the president. A similar check should be extended to an increasingly heavy-handed Supreme Court when it considers matters of statute. Congress could have, for example, 30 days to decide whether to respond to a court ruling, and another 30 days for a committee to propose a clarification or revision of the statute — under a fast-track process. This reform would put our most representative branch — Congress — back in charge of the public policy decisions that impact us all.

"If the seminal case is overturned, Republicans may come to regret allowing the executive branch to accumulate such power, Slaughter continued.

“I can’t imagine they will like the results of the argument they are making when there is a Democratic president in the future who acts with similar lack of guardrails,” Slaughter said."

“The future of our democracy is hanging in the balance right now,” Anderson told NOTUS.

This court fight has become a rare case invoking the 10th Amendment that recognizes a locality’s ability to govern itself. Anderson said the “totality of the circumstances” have made daily life in Minneapolis difficult, something she hopes the judge takes into consideration.

“The totality has eroded our ability as a city government to protect our people,” she said.

Normally busy streets are empty. Popular shops and restaurants have been closed for weeks. Some schools have gone virtual to protect kids, whose parents have been taken by agents as they drop off or pick up their children.

One mother told NOTUS that she kept her children with her at the fast food restaurant she works at in St. Paul — where the doors remain locked in an effort to shield them from Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents. Her child was more afraid to be left at home without her in case she never made it back.

Another couple,
BOTH US CITZENS (all caps mine)
said they kept their kids from attending an extracurricular gym class across town out of fear that federal agents would smash their car windows and drag them out for entering the wrong street — something half a dozen people told NOTUS they witnessed.

NOTUS news briefing---bloody hands pointing fingers:

The White House’s spin conundrum: Tom Homan is scheduled for his first press conference from Minneapolis this morning, after days of shifting messages from Donald Trump and top White House officials about the killing of Alex Pretti.

How we got here: Just before midnight Tuesday, the White House sent NOTUS’ Adora Brown an uncommon clarification on Stephen Miller’s statement that the federal agents who killed Pretti may not have been following “protocol.”

What he meant, the White House spox said, was that “officials would be examining why additional force protection assets may not have been present to support the operation.” You know, as opposed to saying that specific federal agents were violating any rules.

This administration is trying to untangle itself from CBP’s enforcement approach. The complication is that the agency’s approach is what the Trump administration said it wanted. Remember: “The mentality is CBP does what they’re told, and the administration thinks ICE isn’t getting the job done,” a DHS official said to NBC News in October. “So CBP will do it.”

“I think ultimately it’s unfair to the agents on the ground,” Tim Quinn, a former top CBP civilian official who left the job in May, told Jasmine. “You have this sort of situation where leadership at all levels is sending conflicting information and seems to be in conflict with each other,” he said of how the administration’s ongoing spin efforts are landing with agents.

But a #NOTUS investigation published Thurs found 7 studies referenced in RFKJr’s 68-pg report that the listed study authors said were either wildly misinterpreted or never occurred at all—& researchers believe that #AI could be partly to blame.

"We’ve noticed a divide with how they’ve been reacting to this possible security breach.
Those most closely aligned with the White House messaging — that this was a one-off “nothing-burger,” as Sen. Markwayne Mullin put it — are focused on how Goldberg accidentally got added to the chat.

Those more open to an investigation, however, have a much larger concern about the Signal of it all.

“The question is, if it was classified information, why were you not using a classified conduit to send it?” Sen. Thom Tillis said.

At least one Republican already had his answer. “To me, the bottom line is: Is Signal secure enough to discuss the type of detailed information that we all know was discussed? And I think the answer to that for me is, no,” Sen. Kevin Cramer said.
