A Third Whistleblower Challenges Bove, and a Criminal Defendant Challenges Habba

Many things have happened. Here are some of the things. This is the morning memo of TPM. Register For the e-mail version.

More bad news for Bove

A third denunciator introduced himself to the Senate’s judicial committee, accusing that Emil Bove, Trump’s candidate for a life appointment at the third circuit of the third circuit, induced the senators misleading during his confirmation audience, reports the Washington Post.

The latter denunciator follows two other people who accused Bove of having said to the lawyers of the Ministry of Justice of ignoring the judicial orders blocking Trump’s expulsions. More specifically, the former MJ lawyer, Erez Reveni, told that Bove had told the lawyers of the department to say “you kiss” you to the judges who block Trump’s plan to make Venezuelan detainees to a prison in El Salvador. Bove said in his confirmation hearing that he did not remember saying this.

“We have substantial information relevant to the veracity of the candidate,” said senator Cory Booker (D-NJ) yesterday in a floor speech. But the Republicans of the Senate showed no interest in discovering even what the new denunciator has to say.

The opposition of Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) and Susan Collins (R-ME) is insufficient to deprive the Republicans of the majority of 50 votes necessary to confirm a person who would have said to the lawyers of the MJ to flout the judicial orders to be a judge for the rest of his life. Bove is 44 years old.

Meanwhile, a defense lawyer for New Jersey is trying to reject the accusations of drugs and firearms against her client on the grounds that the second appointment of Alina Habba as an American interim lawyer was “under a dubious legal authority”, reports Politico. Even if the motion is ultimately unsuccessful, it underlines potential disorders and disturbances following the extreme measures of the supposed Trump administration of the Trump administration to keep its ally close to power as the main federal prosecutor of the State.

As Morning Memo reported last week, the prosecutor General Pam Bondi hit his nose during a prescription issued by federal judges from New Jersey, who had blocked Habba’s continuous appointment after the expiration of his 120 -day interim mandate. (Bondi said that the DoJ “does not tolerate thugs judges – especially when threatening the main powers of the president of article II.”) Trump then withdrew the appointment of Habba to play permanently in the role (subject to confirmation of the Senate). This opened the way to Bondi to make Habba his “deputy chief” – a maneuver which in turn allowed him to rename Habba for an additional interim term of 210 days.

If Bove is confirmed in the third circuit, it could potentially appear on a panel of judges to hear calls for challenges to Habba or any other appointment of the American lawyer scored in New Jersey.

Trump administration Greenlights Proslytize in the federal workplace

Under a memo published by the personnel management office yesterday, federal workers are authorized to speak to their colleagues about their religion, in particular by engaging a colleague “in the polished discussion on the reason why his faith is correct and why the non-adherents should rethink his religious convictions”. They are also allowed to engage in religious displays, conversations or prayers in public spaces and with public members.

All examples of protected conduct cited in memo involve Christianity or Judaism, but not other religions. The memo quotes acceptability of presenting a cross, a crucifix, rosaries, mezuzahs, tefillins or a star of David, or to quote or keep a Bible at its office. He does not cite any example of a religious expression of authorized work of Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, Sikhism or other religions.

Christian nationalists have long portrayed a secular workplace as a place of discrimination against conservative Christians, who claim that their religious freedom requires that they be authorized to share the Gospel with colleagues or to refuse service to potential customers or to the public on the grounds that their consciousness prohibits homosexual marriage, for example. Although the movement has long focused on private workplaces, the new OPM directives illustrate the way in which the Trump administration plans completely redo the federal workplace include Christianization. The 2025 project has envisaged a large Christianization of the federal government and American workplaces, calling for the new administration to “adopt policies with solid respect for religious exercise in the workplace, including under the first amendment, Religious Freedom Restoration Act in 1993 (RFRA), title VII and federal laws on the protection of consciousness” and for religious employees ”.

Speaking of a 2025 project

The author of the 2025 project and former head of the Heritage Foundation, Paul in, announced a main challenge to Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) next year. At the height of the 2024 presidential campaign, the dances had withdrawn from his heritage post in the middle of the growing public opposition to the 2025 project, and the duplicity effort of the Trump campaign to “distribute” the controversial policy. Now Pras accuses Graham of “betraying” the state conservatives and attacks Trump “of implementing the first agenda in America which rehabits America in the country we have always dreamed of”. Trump’s former campaign advisor Chris Lacivita, now advising Graham, accused the dances of having tried to “torpedo” Trump’s prospects in 2024, and predicts his primary campaign of the Senate “would end prematurely”.

This is true: the heritage has left heritage because he was talking too much about the BluePrint document that the Trump administration has since largely implemented, and Graham’s campaign accused him of having tried to torpedo the Trump campaign by being too public on this subject.

Speaking of religious freedom

Several Religious Confessions not Maga have filed a fourth trial contesting the cancellation by the Trump administration of a 2011 policy restricting the raids of immigration and the application of customs (ICE) in “sensitive locations”, including the worship homes. The complainants, who include several Synods of the Lutheran Evangelical Church in America, three Quaker groups, US American Baptist Churches, the Baptist Alliance and Metropolitan Community Churches, allege that ice raids and the prospect of ice raids in worship homes have reached the ability of the faithful to participate in religious services. The raids are not hypothetical: the complaint cites several arrests outside the churches of California since the Trump administration ended the policy of sensitive location.

Christian right -wing activists have suddenly concerned that some of their own could be expelled

Although Trump’s anti-immigrant policies are largely supported by white evangelicals, some leaders now fear that deportations can sweep some of their traveler colleagues, including parishioners and pastors. At the right watch, Kyle Mantyla reports an episode of the “sound” podcast[ing] The alarm of the perspective that tens of thousands of Latin Christians could be expelled from the United States due to the policies of the Trump administration. »»

Feds forced to bring accusations against the anti-ice demonstrators at the

Federal immigration agents in Los Angeles made false or misleading statements concerning the arrests of demonstrators against the repression of the Trump administration earlier this month, reports The Guardian. Consequently, in addition to the previously reported refusal of the great juries to charge demonstrators, the federal prosecutors were also forced to drop accusations of crime against certain demonstrators who had been accused of aggression or stacking of the agents.

Trump’s “attack dog” “

The Stephen Lemons of Phoenix New Times is being dive into the vicious “Border Czar” of Trump, Tom Homan, a veteran of the application of immigration in Arizona under the republican presidents and democrats whose former colleagues remember as a “reasonable” person who “abhales Donald Trump”. But now:

In the second Trump administration, Homan seems to take advantage of all the attention that the cruel and chaotic mass deportation scheme offered him. The 63 -year -old man – he is a year less than George Clooney, although Homan appears at a million kilometers older – has become a pillar of the conservative media. He threatens to stop the democratic legislators who oppose the actions of immigration and customs agents which he dropped on a leash. He is delighted with the removal and elimination of non -criminal migrants to foreign gulags. He peddles bullshit about the doxing of ice agents to justify the hiding place of their identity. Ironically, given how much his agents hide their faces, Homan’s love for Maga’s spotlights has made his steep face one of the most recognizable among Trump’s friends.

In Epstein Scrable, Mike Johnson blames Democrats for his summer recess at the start of the house

In an interview with the Family Research Council radio program this week in Capitol Hill, the president of the Chamber said that the Democrats were to blame for the Chamber to call for early recreation to avoid a possible vote to force the Trump administration to publish Epstein files.

Although influencers Maga spent years claiming to release Epstein files, this was not a huge problem for the Christian right. This is why Johnson could mislead this audience to believe that the entire debate on transparency is the fault of the Democrats, accusing them of a sneaky attempt to derail the Trump agenda. As a result of serious CHUTZPAH, Johnson said that the Democrats “suddenly try to make something … with the so-called Epstein files”.

Elon Musk is always the villain Doge

Unidentified creative activists have displayed a replica 12 feet high from Elon Musk’s head in national parks this summer, seeking to link longer waiting times with Doge of the National Park Service staff. They rolled their heads on a flat wheel signal read “Make America Wait Again” and “Now with longer lines thanks to the Doge Cups!”
