She told me that she knew immediately after the censure that she had to take legal action to challenge that punishment. She lost at the district of appeals court levels before she eventually appealed in April to the Supreme Court.

Yeah, the court sided with Libby. They said that she can vote while this legal battle plays out. There were only two dissents as well. Those came from liberal justices Katonji Brown Jackson and Sonia Sotomayor. And notably, Jackson, who was the only one to explain her dissent, she said that basically Libby is likely to win her case outright. Here's Libby on that outcome.

Libby also emphasized to me that this case is unprecedented. She said that's likely why the Supreme Court took it up in the first place.

Yeah, we still have the Trump administration battling the state's Democrat governor, Janet Mills, over her decision to defy federal law and Trump's executive orders that bar males and girls' spaces and girls' sports. The feds have already frozen federal funding for the state, and last month, Attorney General Pam Bondi, she announced a civil lawsuit against Maine's Department of Education.

There have also been questions raised about this network of transgender groups that surround Mills and her family. The governor's sister, Dora Ann Mills, she's the chief health improvement officer at Maine Health.

That health care system was a top donor to Mills' 2022 gubernatorial run, and they also notably offer irreversible procedures for gender-confused minors, and that includes puberty blockers and what they call gender-affirming hormone therapy and menstrual suppression. Critics trying to make sense of Mills supporting these really unpopular trans policies, they've noted those connections.

Yeah, so so far we have 59 men, women, and children who've arrived in the U.S. These refugees are Afrikaners. That's an ethnic minority in South Africa, and most of them are farmers. They were vetted and granted refugee status very quickly within a matter of months, and that's largely due to President Trump's attention to this matter.

He signed an executive order back in February to end all aid to South Africa over what he said were discriminatory racial policies, specifically those targeting white farmers. The order also notes that South Africa has taken aggressive positions against the U.S. and her allies, including Israel. Footage of the refugees arriving on Monday shows them waving American flags.

One State Department official noted that they spoke to these Afrikaners specifically about assimilation. They said that that's really important for their resettlements. Here's some footage of their arrival provided by the State Department.

Now, there were only 59 or so refugees this time, but the State Department did say that in the coming months, we will welcome more Afrikaners to the U.S.

Yeah, well, one of the refugees said that she was attacked on her farm four different times. She said that Afrikaners are being blamed and targeted over past apartheid in South Africa. Hundreds of people have been killed on farms in just the last four years or so. Not all of those have been white, but many were.
