Trump’s "plenary" powers “will not be questioned.”

Yesterday I was told that the class I’m scheduled to teach this month, Confronting Oppression & Injustice, is no longer part of our curriculum. This is a required class yet there was no discussion, no faculty vote, just an email saying the class no longer exists. This is what it’s like in Texas now.

It’s the Feds making Portland look like a war zone— not the protesters.

And honestly, these protesters are brilliant. They’re flipping the whole authoritarian cosplay on its ass!

ICE spent $800K on vans with stingray tech that collects data from all nearby phones, even yours. These devices mimic cell towers to track locations and intercept communications. Oversight and transparency are needed now.

Trump: "Portland, I mean -- every time I look at that place it's burning down. There are fires all over the place. When a store -- there are very few of them left -- but when a store owner rebuilds a store they build it out of plywood. They don't put up storefronts anymore. They just put wood up."

Star witness? Pinch hitters for the prosecutors? What a circus. Bondi does not stand up well in the light of day, so she becomes aggressively snarky and indignant at any sign of light. Vampiress?

5 days until Idaho’s ACA marketplace opens & all Johnson can do is dilly dally around. As a fixed income, pre-Medicare eligible retiree, I need to know NOW if my premiums are doubling or not. Right now the exchange estimate says “yes.”
