Today, right wing activists and now federal authorities are targeting people who appeared to celebrate the death of Charlie Kirk on social media; potential threats trigger lockdowns at several HBCUs across the South; some appeals court judges have publicly admonished the Supreme Court’s run on the shadow docket; we’re getting more information on the shooter at the Colorado high school; a judge in Arizona has blocked the removal of dozens of immigrant children; the First Circuit Court of Appeals allows Medicaid cuts to Planned Parenthood; Senate Republicans on Thursday triggered a nuclear option to allow easy confirmation of Trump nominated judges; and Allison and Dana deliver your Good News.
