WASHINGTON — The final ruling of the Supreme Court term is over, but the stench of hypocrisy lingers.

If you were to read only one opinion that emerged as the final bell rung, it would likely be the birthright citizenship ruling that stopped President Donald Trump from telling people born on U.S. soil they aren’t Americans. From that ruling alone, one might believe the court’s image of itself as an unshakeable, immovable defender of the Constitution.

WASHINGTON — As the United States marks its 250th anniversary, it does so with a president who openly rewrites history about one of its darkest days — Jan. 6, 2021 — and embraces people convicted of what was previously considered one of the most serious crimes an American could commit: seditiously conspiring against the United States.

In the hours since the Supreme Court announced it would allow the Trump administration to end temporary protected status for immigrants from Haiti and Syria, the potential consequences have ricocheted through American communities.

“You know I moved from the Arab world, where it’s dictatorships and all sorts of human rights violations, to come here and to be free and knowing my rights will be protected.”

Put together, the court’s Thursday decisions offer weaponry for the administration on both fronts of its war against immigrants — at the border, and within the interior of the country — to take aim at the most vulnerable of all.

“When we take this [TPS decision] together with the asylum case, today’s decisions make clear that the Supreme Court majority is giving the administration tremendous leeway to gut humanitarian protections that Congress created and that have been stable in the U.S. for many, many, many years,” said Jennifer Gordon, a professor of law at Fordham Law School.

The protester who was hit by a car outside the Delaney Hall immigration jail in Newark, New Jersey, on Sunday said she’s still looking for the driver who rammed into her — and that no one from law enforcement has been in touch about the incident.

My dad passed a few years ago and our relationship was not great but today as I watch families celebrate together, it fills me with happiness to see dads out there being good to their kids and spending time together. Enjoy it. Soak it up. Breathe it in.

May all the fathers who see this have a fantastic and relaxing day filled with love and lots of big hugs.

And to all the mothers who were also the father to their kids, happy father's day to you too. You unsung heroes! I am grateful for the mom I had and am grateful to see some men out here just being awesome at fatherhood.

“The bottom line is I don’t have the type of uncontestable evidence to show that [attempting to create the fund] would not be repeated,” Judge Leonie Brinkema said. “And there is clear evidence, in terms of statements by the acting attorney general and multiple statements by the president who has talked about how important it is that this fund should go forward.”

“So move fast and break things and nobody has standing?” U.S. Circuit Judge Patricia Millett asked during a hearing on the president's ballroom project.

The Supreme Court will decide whether to give Trump's latest deportation push its blessing in a case that could cause utter chaos for families.

A former U.S. Capitol Police officer who sued a pardoned Jan. 6 rioter and reporter after he falsely accused her of planting pipe bombs on the eve of the Capitol attack was handed a victory by a federal judge on Thursday.

WASHINGTON — The Trump administration’s creation of a $1.8 billion “Anti-Weaponization Fund” is illegal and must be dissolved immediately, two police officers who were injured on Jan. 6, 2021, demanded in a lawsuit against the Justice Department on Wednesday.

The officers, former U.S. Capitol Police Officer Harry Dunn and Metropolitan Police Officer Daniel Hodges, allege the fund will directly finance far-right extremists and paramilitary groups who were involved in the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, and violates the 14th Amendment’s prohibition on the U.S. assuming or paying any debt or obligation “incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United States.” They also allege that it violates various statutes laid out in the Administrative Procedure Act, making the actions of the government officials involved illegal.

When first making the announcement, the Justice Department pointed to a 2011 settlement agreement known as Keepseagle v. Vilsack as proof that there was “legal precedent” for such a fund.

But Joe Sellers, lead counsel in the Keepseagle case, told HuffPost: “It’s a totally inapt analogy.”

Just wanted to say, these were killer.

Plump. Smoky. So many in the can. I could barely finish.

I had them on some crackers with a little bit of sliced parmesean. Would def recommend.

Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) notified acting Attorney General Todd Blanche on Tuesday that as part of a House Judiciary Committee investigation of institutional fraud and abuse, he is now digging into millions of dollars allegedly paid out to FBI agents who had been suspended, fired or had their security clearances revoked, including at least one agent who was in a restricted area at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
