JUST IN: In a series of orders, #SCOTUS will not stop the scheduled execution in Texas of Joseph Garcia. There were no noted dissents to any of the requests to stop his execution.
Here are the other four orders from #SCOTUS, denying Joseph Garcia a stay of execution.
The news follows @csmcdaniel's report on how Texas gets its execution drugs: buzzfeednews.com/article/chrism…

Before the night ends, I wanted to thank three Broadway shows that closed today for the incredible stories — and backstories — they brought to the stage and the larger world: Harvey Fierstein’s Torch Song, Once on This Island, and Head Over Heels. Thank you, all. 😊
I am a ridiculously privileged, white cis gay man who gets to see a ton of theater — in part, though, because I’ve prioritized that. I don’t drink, I don’t do much in terms of expensive travel, but I love theater, so that’s where I spend a good deal of my free time and money.
So, when you see me going off to shows, please understand that this is something I care about. I think it’s important, and I love being able to support the incredible people out there doing such amazing work. 💜 Keep it up.

WALKING HOME. SORRY I AM LATE. #GoldenbGlobes
OK. I’m home. Just in time to see Gaga/Cooper. (I’m not sure I’m in the mood for this tonight, so, I might not be tweeting a lot.)
I’d be totally happy just rewatching The Favourite tonight, tho.

Yet another federal judge, this time in Maryland, has rejected the Trump administration's effort to get litigation challenging a citizenship question in the 2020 Census tossed out — motion to dismiss denied
assets.documentcloud.org/documents/5032…
Judge: "Plaintiffs state a plausible claim that Defendants’ decision to reintroduce the citizenship question on the 2020 Census was motivated by discriminatory animus and will result in an adverse effect on immigrants of color" assets.documentcloud.org/documents/5032…
This are multiple lawsuits out there challenging the citizenship Q on the 2020 Census, this is one of three (that I'm aware of) filed in Maryland alone. A trial in SDNY began this week after #SCOTUS declined to stop it from happening buzzfeednews.com/article/chrisg…

Hello from #SCOTUS, where Justice Brett Kavanaugh will have his investiture this morning. Trump is expected to attend, but as @chrisgeidner is reporting, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is in the hospital with rib fractures. No cameras inside, stay tuned for updates after
On Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's hospitalization after a fall, from @chrisgeidner: buzzfeednews.com/article/davidm…
It's official: Justice Brett Kavanaugh was just sworn in at the bench at his investiture at #SCOTUS this morning in a brief, formal ceremony. Trump was in attendance, along with a very, very long list of notable judicial, legal and political figures. Here's what went down:

Here is some real talk that’s an all-to-painful gut punch: we’ve lost #SCOTUS for a generation. But we still have a source of hope: To stop the bad and advance the good, we need to win back the States. (And we can do it.) A thread. #whystatesmatter
☹️Worried about fair voting access? Justified. The #SCOTUS conservative majority has consistently upheld state laws that brazenly suppress voting. Last year, they allowed OH to purge voters from the rolls and in the process protected similar laws in 6 states. BUT THERE IS HOPE!
🙂With different leadership in state legislatures, proposals that restrict voting access would be DOA. & with new majorities in purple or even red states, those same legislative chambers can protect voting! That's already happened in blue-majority states WA & OR. #whystatesmatter

💥💥Please read: best argument is that the The American Bar Association has called for the Senate Judiciary Committee to delay voting until an FBI investigation can be completed. The “appointment is simply too important to rush to a vote.” -ABA

IT'S EVERY WORD OF THE ARTICLE BELOW WHICH IS HOW THIS #SCOTUS DECISION WAS RIGGED FROM THE START.

J. Thomas dissents from denial of cert in Silvester v. Becerra, which "California’s 10-day waiting period for firearms." CT writes "the Second Amendment is a disfavored right in this Court."
supremecourt.gov/orders/courtor…
J. Thomas made a similar point in a Dec. 2015 dissent-from-denial of cert. nationalreview.com/2015/12/second… There, J. Scalia joined him. Here, J. Thomas writes alone.
J. Thomas also praises Judges Batchelder (CA6), Elrod (CA5), and Kavanaugh (CADC) who disagree that 2nd Amendment claims should be evaluated under intermediate scrutiny.
