The sun hit the wall again, so I had to fire up the AC.  It’s also very muggy.  I don’t know, if I’ll be able to publish tomorrow.  Wendy’s niece will be coming in the afternoon, and I’ll have extra preparation to get done, so I may have nothing more than a Personal Update or Open Thread.

Jig Zone Puzzle:

Today’s took me 3:02 (average 5:34).  To do it, click here.  How did you do?

Short Takes:

From YouTube (MSNBC Channel): Who’s On [R]esident Donald Trump’s Supreme Court Short List?

 

Trump lied. All these judges have been prescreened that they would vote to overturn Roe v. Wade. Otherwise, they would not even be on the list. RESIST!! VOTE BLUE!!

From ABC News: Liberal activists, parents and first-time protesters motivated by accounts of children separated from their parents at the U.S.-Mexico border plan to rally in hundreds of cities nationwide Saturday to press President Donald Trump’s administration to reunite the families quickly.

More than 600 marches could draw hundreds of thousands of people across the country, from immigrant-friendly cities like Los Angeles and New York City to conservative Appalachia and Wyoming under the banner Families Belong Together.

Though many who show up will be seasoned anti-Trump demonstrators, others will be new to immigration activism, including parents who say they feel compelled to show up after heart-wrenching accounts of children forcibly taken from their families as they crossed the border illegally. In Portland, Oregon, for example, several stay-at-home moms have organized their first rally while caring for young kids.

Kudos to the demonstrators. It’s also a great opportunity for seasoned activists to encourage the newbies to join the resistance. We’ll need more and much larger demonstrations over SCROTUS (Republican Constitutional VD).  RESIST!! VOTE BLUE!!

From NY Times: A federal judge on Friday blocked Kentucky’s closely watched plan to require many Medicaid recipients to work, volunteer or train for a job as a condition of coverage.

The state had been poised to start carrying out the new rules next week and to phase them in fully by the end of this year.

Judge James E. Boasberg of Federal District Court for the District of Columbia, an Obama appointee, ruled that the Trump administration’s approval of the plan had been “arbitrary and capricious” because it had not adequately considered whether the plan would “help the state furnish medical assistance to its citizens, a central objective of Medicaid.”

Enjoy it. Unless we stop Trump’s pick, we can expect little or no judicial relief from hateful Republican policies ever again.  RESIST!! VOTE BLUE!!
