Make sure to grab your coffee from a small, independently owned coffee shop instead of Starbucks until they have fair contracts with their employees. No Contract = No Starbucks Coffee!!
The No Kings Alliance stands with the Starbucks baristas on strike. Don’t shop at Starbucks while workers fight for fair pay, better staffing, and an end to union-busting. Power still belongs to the people who make this country run: nocontractnocoffee.org/#pledge

The West does not need America to hold its hand in the confrontation with the Kremlin – it is easily powerful enough on its own, writes world affairs editor Sam Kiley

This morning @Harvey4council and I accompanied Ibrahima (who arrived here from Guinea when he was 17) to immigration court.

He’s seeking Special Immigrant Juvenile Status (SIJS) — and his GED, too.

Thankfully, a federal judge recently ordered the Trump Admin to protect SIJS.

Rep Maria Salazar (R-FL) says Trump is about to invade Venezuela, and the objective is to seize their oil. Remarkable candor, because this seems to be precisely what is going on. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Praise of the Week: Sen. Mark Kelly! His service (pilot, NASA commander) defines his unwavering loyalty. He stood firm against POTUS' reckless incitement of violence, proving his oath is to the Constitution, not any person. True leadership. 🫡 Thanks @captmarkkelly.bsky.social! #POTW #AZIndivisibles

We really do have two different kinds of law now: District Court law (aka the law), and Supreme Court "law" (aka the U.S. House of Lords upholding Trump's personalist regime)
I don’t know what the Supreme Court will do, but I am confident that at the District Court level it is still the case that the Pentagon cannot recall a sitting US Senator to active duty in order to court martial him for something he said. Article 1, Section 6, among other constitutional provisions.

I cannot imagine what could possibly go wrong in trying to court-martial an astronaut and pilot decorated multiple times for valor and exceptional service, who is also a sitting senator, for correctly making the point that service members are obliged not to follow unlawful orders
Hegseth is now threatening to recall Sen. Mark Kelly to active duty in order to court martial him.

Thanks for asking. And no one who denies and attacks science can lead science. So no, and I hope the story isn't the whitewash this pitch makes it sound like.

This cover oozes with contempt for the magazine’s history and its readership
Over many interviews, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told Michael Scherer about how he plans to remake America’s public-health system. Can he lead the scientific establishment he’s spent much of his life crusading against?

I hate to say “the people who led us into this mess are not the ones who’ll lead us out of it” applies to the nation’s premier media institutions, too — but, um, it kinda does.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia's lawyers inform a federal judge about the Washington Post's bombshell: The government's claim that Costa Rica will no longer accept Abrego has been exposed as a lie.

More evidence—"if any were needed"—of vindictive prosecution.

Good. Dems not backing down in the slightest in the face of Trump's call for their execution. Keep this up, Dems. Treat Trump like *he's* the violent criminal and the real threat to our Constitution order. Because he is.

Except, of course, it’s *not* all he can say.

Cassidy could concede publicly that confirming Kennedy was a tragic mistake. He could call for RFK Jr's resignation. He could schedule hearings, haul the secretary to Capitol Hill, and demand the CDC’s public resources reflect the scientific cannon.
TAPPER: You were the deciding vote that allowed RFK Jr to ascend to the role of Health Secretary. Did you give him too much credit?

CASSIDY: The fact is the scientific community agrees that vaccines are safe. That's all I can say.
