Sometimes it feels like the internet is one massive, horrible reply all thread and Don Jr. is the asshole who keeps responding with lame memes.
Here’s all the shit we couldn’t cover today:
- Federal Judge Dana Sabraw has temporarily halted the deportation of families the Trump administration separated and then reunited. Sabraw suspended deportations for one week, siding with the ACLU, which argued that the decision “cannot be made until parents not only have had time to fully discuss the ramifications with their children, but also to hear from the child’s advocate or counsel, who can explain to the parent the likelihood of the child ultimately prevailing in his or her own asylum case if left behind in the U.S. (as well as where the child is likely to end up living).” [Associated Press]

- Daniel Pantaleo, the New York City cop who put Eric Garner into a lethal chokehold in Staten Island four years ago, will finally face a disciplinary hearing. “The NYPD has come to the conclusion that given the extraordinary passage of time since the incident without a final decision on the U.S. DOJ’s criminal investigation, any further delay in moving ahead with our own disciplinary proceedings can no longer be justified,” the NYPD’s top lawyer wrote to the Justice Department.

- The Department of Health and Human Services has promoted another anti-abortion extremist: Heidi Stirrup, who has called abortion “intrinsically evil,” was promoted to Deputy Assistant Secretary for Policy at the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) on Friday. [Politico]
- Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez continues to bring the fire. “When you hear ‘She won just for demographic reasons,’ or low turnout, or that I won because of all the white ‘Bernie bros’ in Astoria—maybe that all helped,” she told the New Yorker, “But I smoked this race. I didn’t edge anybody out. I dominated. And I am going to own that.” Hell yeah. [New Yorker]

- Some people in Portland think that white Buddhists are the original ICE protesters…not the immigrants and activists who have been demanding it for more than a decade. [Oregon Live]
