President Trump has been purging Black officials in independent agencies at a higher rate than anyone else, a new lawsuit says.
"Transgender discrimination is, by its very nature, sex discrimination," Justice Laurie McKinnon wrote in the court's decision. "Government issued identification documents are necessary to access public life. When they do not accurately reflect a person's sexual identity, the transgender Montanan is prevented, based on their sex, from obtaining the same attributes of public life that a cisgender Montanan may obtain. Hence, the inability of transgender Montanans to receive government-issued identification documents accurately reflecting their gender identity is fundamentally about the nature of sex and suspect class discrimination."
The department is looking for information from private contractors who can provide "prefabricated, transportable, hardened shelter systems designed to protect personnel from blast and fragmentation threats," according to a new federal contract notice posted Monday. read more

Top Republican officials, such as Republican National Committee Chair Ronna McDaniel and National Republican Congressional Committee Chair Tom Emmer, rejected assertions that inflammatory Republican rhetoric, including vilification of Nancy Pelosi, contributed to an atmosphere that risked violence. A week before the attack, Emmer posted a video of himself firing a gun with the hashtag #FirePelosi; after the attack, he deflected a question asking if he should have used a gun in the ad.[109] Some Republicans made jokes about the attack.[103][110] When taunting Nancy Pelosi, Donald Trump, the 45th and 47th president of the United States, sarcastically asked, "How's her husband doing?" He then remarked, "She's against building a wall in our border, even though she has a wall around her house"which obviously didn't do a very good job."[111]

Convict Leasing
Convict leasing was a system of forced penal labor that was practiced in the Southern United States, where private individuals and corporations could lease labor from the state in the form of incarcerated people, nearly all of whom were Black.
The state of Louisiana leased out convicted people as early as 1844.[1] The system expanded throughout most of the South with the emancipation of enslaved people at the end of the American Civil War in 1865.[2] The practice peaked about 1880 and persisted in various forms until gradually phased out following Francis Biddle's "Circular No. 3591" of December 12, 1941. Whilst not having been explicitly abolished, the practice became politically untenable. As a result other forms of prison labour remain legal in the United States, under the Thirteenth Amendment's penal exemption clause.
The system was highly lucrative for both the lessees and state governments.[2] For example, in 1898, 73 percent of Alabama's annual state revenue came from convict leasing,[3] whilst contractors were able to lease people at costs as low as $9 a month.[4][5] Corruption, lack of accountability, and violence resulted in "one of the harshest and most exploitative labor systems known in American history".[6] African Americans, mostly adult males, due to "vigorous and selective enforcement of laws and discriminatory sentencing", comprised the vast majority, though not all, of the convicted people leased.[7]
