Never Changing Amtrak Will Eventually Destroy You

The new locomotives are designated as ALC-42 for “Amtrak Long-distance Charger, 4,200-horsepower.” They will primarily replace Amtrak P40 and P42 diesel-electric locomotives, which have a lower top speed and began service under different emissions standards 30 years ago. Does Amtrak Have Security? These new voting restrictions could certainly swing a close election, but the ultimate partisan effects are unknown, whereas the new redistricting maps enacted by Republicans will have a devastating and surgical impact on Democratic representation, voting rights advocates say. The bill, also known as HR1, has been in the news for its provisions to ban the types of state-level voting restrictions that sent Texas Democrats fleeing to Washington earlier this month to beg Congress to pass the act. Republicans could pick up anywhere from six to 13 seats in the House of Representatives-enough to retake the House in 2022-through its control of the redistricting process in Georgia, Florida, North Carolina, and Texas alone, according to a new analysis by the Democratic data firm TargetSmart that was shared exclusively with Mother Jones.

In a 5-4 vote announced at midnight Eastern Time on Wednesday night, the Supreme Court refused to halt a Texas law banning abortion after six weeks, a point at which most women do not yet know they are pregnant. The judge, U.S. District Judge Judge Matthew J. Kacsmaryk in Amarillo, Texas, ordered that the program be reinstated in response to a lawsuit filed by the states of Texas and Missouri, whose governors have been seeking to reinstate some of the hard-line anti-immigration policies of the Trump administration. ”For example, at one point, Judge Kacsmaryk held that the Biden administration would violate a decades-old law if they chose not to send people back to Mexico under MPP-even though MPP did not exist until 2019 and was not applied across the entire border until January 2020,” Reichlin-Melnick wrote for Immigration Impact. “The Biden administration would be forced to negotiate with Mexico to accept individuals back under MPP, something the Mexican government may be unwilling to do. Mexico. It was meant to discourage asylum seekers but critics said it denied people the legal right to seek protection in the U.S. What it must not do is use this decision as cover for abandoning its commitment to restore a fair asylum system,” said Omar Jadwat, director of the ACLU’s immigrant rights project.

“It is unclear how DHS would begin to restart MPP if this decision is allowed to stand,” Reichlin-Melnick said. In that case, the court held that the decision to end DACA was “arbitrary and capricious,” in violation of federal law. My God. This decision reads something straight off of Fox News. Democrats’ best hope to prevent a gerrymandering bloodbath is to pass the For the People Act, the sweeping democracy reform bill that passed the House in March but was blocked by a GOP filibuster in June. “At some point we’re going to get to a binary choice between protecting our democracy and protecting an arcane Senate procedure,” Holder says of the filibuster. Justices get four clerks each and retired justices get one so if Breyer had hired only one clerk that would have been a signal he was on his way out. Justice Stephen Breyer has hired a full complement of four law clerks for the next Supreme Court term, the court confirmed Friday, in a possible signal that he doesn’t have any immediate plans to retire…

This brings us to Justice Kennedy, who announced his retirement on June 27, 2018. At the time of his announcement, he had hired four law clerks for October Term 2019 – clerks he actually had in place by December 2017, if not earlier. We’d also like to especially thank our co-counsel, who were indispensable and unflagging despite years of ups and downs in the courts. Georgia’s Sixth District, home to the affluent northern suburbs of Atlanta, was long a bastion of deep-red Republicanism, represented by Gingrich for 20 years. But that changed in 2018, when college-educated white voters shifted their allegiance to the Democrats and joined with an influx of Black, Latino, and Asian Americans who’d moved to the suburbs. They teamed up to elect McBath, a political novice who had turned to activism after her 17-year-old son, Jordan Davis, was murdered by a white man in Florida in 2012, and decided to run for Congress after the Parkland high school shooting in early 2018. “The work was calling me,” she told Mother Jones that year. For years, Williams’ younger opponents, from those she’s faced in finals like Osaka and Halep, to the ones who often play her in the early rounds, have spoken openly about their admiration for her and how as kids learning the sport, they fantasized about getting the chance to face her at a Grand Slam.
