Atlanta's Dem Mayor Says DNC Is 'Abandoning Black Voters'
Democrat Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens torched the Democratic National Committee (DNC) this week after the party cut his city from consideration for its 2028 convention. He accused his own party of ignoring the South, dismissing Georgia, and taking Black voters for granted.
The DNC narrowed its list Thursday from five cities to three. Atlanta and Chicago are out. The Aug. 7-10 convention will go to Boston, Denver, or Philadelphia. Republicans picked Houston for theirs.
The news did not come from Chairman Ken Martin or anyone else at the DNC. Dickens found out Wednesday when the Associated Press reported the finalists, the same way everyone else did. Then he wrote Martin a letter.
A Trump-appointed federal judge dealt a blow to Colorado’s effort to ramp up oversight of an ICE detention center by temporarily blocking key provisions in a state law after finding the state likely overstepped its authority.
Chief U.S. District Judge Daniel Domenico issued the preliminary injunction Thursday, ruling that Colorado likely crossed a constitutional line in a state law by imposing new requirements specifically targeting the GEO Group’s Aurora ICE Processing Center, which operates under a federal contract and is the state's lone ICE detention center.
"Here, GEO has shown that it is singled out for a special bill that applies to no other facility," Domenico wrote.
...
Democratic Colorado Gov. Jared Polis signed House Bill 26-1276 into law June 4, expanding state and local oversight of immigration detention centers.
...
"And though Colorado argues that the law only brings GEO into compliance with existing state regulations applied to other detention facilities, that law singles out this one category of facility for a separately defined set of restrictions and rulemaking," Domenico wrote.
"And that is sufficient to establish that HB 1276 discriminates against GEO based on its status as a federal contractor."
They could build a strong Cabinet. A strong AG, a strong Secretary of state, and a strong Secretary of Defense would be a good start.Like Garland, Austin, Blinken, Mayorkas, etc. as assembled by razor-sharp Biden? Are you serious, Kentuck?

It's happening before our eyes:
There is an ongoing severe acceleration of the mental and physical decompensation which was an expected occurrence.
Physically he is clearly relying on medication to perform on a daily basis. His face was dramatically reddened likely due to a stimulant which of course increased his blood pressure. His organs are failing and this would include his colon and he has lost complete control. It is wise to remember that the purpose of the colon is to absorb water from the waste material. If it’s failing, then the material passing through is liquid mixed with a fair amount of Big Macs and fries. Unfortunately for him, he is losing so much fluid that he is constantly thirsty and most likely drinking Diet Coke by the Jeroboam.
With the consumption of this volume of fluid, there is no question that his electrolytes are way off and this does not portend well for what is left of his kidneys. (and unlike his wife, he is not eligible for a “kidney” transplant).
His brain issues are accelerating as well: his inhibition is virtually gone, he now is using profanity without hesitation and is making up lies on the spot, many of which are not only not believable, they are impossible to actually exist. The supposed executive ordering of transgender reversals is an example of one. He is suffering from fairly advanced dementia which is also manifesting itself with uninhibited sexual references and likely behavior.
This extends to Ms Harp, who is his fantasy woman: she so physically resembles his daughter that if it turned out that she was a plant by a foreign power in a film, it might or might not be believable in a Hollywood fashion. The physical resemblance, especially to an individual who has lost higher function brain power, is uncanny. She is a combination of 24 hour caregiver, Electra-complex daughter, and obsessive fan. She is his perfection, his Jungian archetype, his lifelong wish, all granted him in his final days. Again, if you wrote the script, the Hollywood producers would laugh and say that this is closer to science fiction than a political thriller.
Tick-tock, tick-tock.

A federal judge has allowed an oil pipeline off the California coast to continue operating, citing federal authority over state objections.
PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: A federal judge has ruled that an oil pipeline off the coast of Santa Barbara in California can continue to operate.
📺 DETAIL: Operated by Sable Offshore Corporation, the pipeline can continue operating under federal oversight. The ruling was made despite objections from California regulators and green groups, which have characterized it as an “egregious trespass on public land.” The pipeline has been closed since 2015, but was reopened earlier this year. The pipeline was reopened by an emergency order from the Trump administration, which cited increased energy demands arising from the outbreak of the Iran war. The administration utilized the Defense Production Act (DPA) to restart the pipeline. Subsequently, Judge Stephen Wilson ruled this week that the federal order pre-empted state regulations, allowing the pipeline to operate. “The Trump administration remains committed to putting all Americans and their energy security first… Unfortunately, some state leaders have not adhered to those same principles, with potentially disastrous consequences not just for their residents, but also our national security,” said Energy Secretary Chris Wright.
💬 KEY QUOTE: “Finally, as the Court has now discussed, the DPA Order does, as a matter of law, preempt the enforcement of any state law that conflicts with Sable’s ability to operate the Onshore Pipeline, including the trespass claim,” wrote Judge Wilson in his ruling.
