As Immigration Courts Lack Funding, Trump Justifies Blocking Access
Over the last ten years, funding for immigration courts has remained largely stagnant, even as funding for enforcement expanded. Previous administrations failed to request funding and the slow pace of hiring led to Congressional reluctance to allocate additional funds. Predictably, backlogs ballooned as year after year a steady flow of cases piled up on judges’ dockets. Now the Trump Administration is pointing to these backlogs to justify denying immigrants access to court at all. Department of Homeland (DHS) Security Secretary John Kelly issued a memo this week on implementing President Trump’s executive orders of January 25th citing “historic backlogs” in…

Gun Advocates Keep Repeating The Same Lies. Sound Familiar?
Six years ago the state of Florida decided that doctors could not talk to their patients about guns. The state of Florida has become the legislative sandbox for every attempt by Gun-nut Nation to rid the country of any and all protections against the violence caused by guns. Stand Your Ground, Concealed Carry – both of these harebrained schemes came out of the Gunshine State. But the law known as FOPA (Firearm Owners Protection Act) was the craziest of them all. What made the law so crazy wasn’t the fact that it criminalized doctors who talked to their patients about…

Schilling is well-known for ludicrous political commentary, like suggesting journalists should be lynched. But he’s now (voluntarily) eating crow after learning just what it is that has critics so upset with Yiannopoulos.

Milo Yiannopoulos On Pedophilia And 'This Arbitrary And Oppressive Idea Of Consent'
Breitbart News editor Milo Yiannopoulos says sex between adult men and 13 year-old boys is OK as long as the boy’s sexual organs are “mature.” He would also like to thank a certain Catholic priest for teaching him to “give such good head” when Yiannopoulos was a child.

Schlapp has booked Yiannopoulos to speak at the upcoming Conservative Political Action Conference, better know as CPAC. Yiannopoulos got higher billing, and more speaking time,…
