The SCOTUS majority must know this. The only conclusion is that they don’t care.

“Dozens of sitting judges shared with The Times their concerns about risks to the courts’ legitimacy as the Supreme Court releases opaque orders about Trump administration policies.”

Americans need this reminder right now: ‘Democracy depends on people who refuse to stay silent, who dare to step forward despite grave risk, and who remind us that freedom must never be taken for granted.’

Texas is preparing emergency resources for wildfires and floods. The Texas National Guard should be THERE — not in Illinois.

We stand ready to support their return home so they are best positioned for helping Texans respond to any natural disasters.
Abbott activates emergency resources ahead of growing wildfire threat, flood risk in Texas
With expected growing wildfire danger across Texas and the potential for a flood risk this weekend, Gov. Greg Abbott is activating more state emergency response resources Friday.

On National Coming Out Day, know that I will always be an ally to you — no matter where you are on your journey.

I know that times may be scary, but you are seen, safe, supported, and loved here in Illinois.

Attention! Share everywhere. There is a fake "Stop Ice" app. It's trying to ensnare people to enter their information, so they can go after them. I don't know whether it was created by ICE, or someone else, but that doesn't matter.
Do NOT use stopice./org.

These federal firings have nothing whatsoever to do with the government shutdown, and if that is not the lede of every report discussing them, and if you are the author of any such report, quit your job and learn to surf or something instead

The Welsh Government will extend European Protected Species status to European beavers, making it illegal to deliberately harm them or damage their habitats.

European beavers may help create natural flood defences and cleaner rivers across Wales.

A pastor cites scripture to justify executions. That’s not theology — it’s a threat.

Citizen of Europe traces how it spread, who reacted, and where the law draws the line.

Faith, Fury, And The Line Between Scripture And Incitement - Citizen Of Europe
Faith, fury, scripture, and incitement — when a Utah pastor cites biblical law to justify executions, the clash between faith, race, and democracy exposes the fine line between belief and violence.

Three cheers for MIT. When the White House tried to buy obedience with funding strings...MIT said, “Hell No!” Merit over mandates. Freedom over control. Finally...an institution with the guts to tell power where to shove its politics.

Fewer than 1 in 10 of our Congressional races are considered competitive - in a country that's politically more or less 50-50.

This is madness. And it doesn't have to be this way.

And the lawsuits will follow promptly. Government shutdowns give presidents no additional authority to dismiss federal workers. We’ll fight these outrageous assaults on civil servants and public services.
