This is such an excellent point and media should be reporting it this way. (This is in reference to Miller’s preposterous but still dangerous claim earlier today about the executive branch considering suspending the writ)
The headline is deeply misleading. You can’t suspend habeas corpus just “for migrants.” As we’ve seen, ICE will pick *anyone* up. If you have legal status but no right to habeas corpus, you’ll have no ability to challenge your detention or deportation. Suspension for some is suspension for all.

Trump is golfing all weekend, and a statement on his progress went viral Saturday among members of the press for being “tone deaf” or worse, after a terrible week for the stock market and his decision to opt out of the ceremony for fallen American servicemembers to attend the golfing event.

When you look at the list of institutions they want to defund: libraries, museums, the Smithsonian, public schools, PBS, NPR, archives, you can clearly see that the real threat to an authoritarian regime is an informed and educated public

This is a perfect example of today's congressional Republican -- she confidently repeats an idiotic lie from Trump that's already been disproven, is immediately called out for the lie, and just lets what would normally be a career-ending moment roll right off her back. No brain, no shame.
Malliotakis: We try to get to the bottom of where this money is going, $50 million for condoms in Gaza, for example. These are real things!
Phillip: We know that there was not $50 million spent for condoms in Gaza. There was $0 spent on condoms in the Middle East. That is a complete lie

I'm just a simple country public administration professor so maybe smarter people than me can explain if these options can't work and if others are better, but there is no strategy that involves waiting for something bigger than right now.

Bad news for all those past voucher lobby memos pointing to Florida NAEP as a reason other states need Florida-style vouchers.
BREAKING: Florida reading, math scores fall to lowest mark in more than 20 years on nation's report card.
The achievement gap and the % of 8th graders reading below a “basic” level was the lowest in the test’s history.
My latest for the Orlando Sentinel:

Over the past month, I've had several posts mocking me for daring to say that I think transphobia and sexism are bad.
And all of them had this framing -- that the only possible reason anyone could be against bigotry was that they wanted to impress other people.
Basic decency just baffles them.
