I also love America and believe in its stated values.
And I understand that this pronouncement lands very differently when it comes from an organization that has intentionally been overhauled in order to curry favor with a jingoistic proto-fascist who says his opponents hate the country.

Incredible. CBS Evening News announces five new “simple values” — instead of their “38-page handbook” — as they roll out Tony Dokoupil is lead anchor.
One of those values is simply: “We love America and make no apologies for saying so.”

The two things Democrats really want:
*an ACA extension
*an end to Russ Vought and Trump deciding on their own whether to spend money appropriated by Congress.
If those 2 things were on the CR, neither of which have anything to do with illegal immigrants, I think every D would vote for it.

RISING LION and MIDNIGHT HAMMER have not slowed the Iranian program nearly as much as the JCPOA. We hold diplomacy to much higher standards than bombing. The same people who endlessly complained about the JCPOA "sunsetting" are now happy to delay Iran's bomb by much less. 15/17

Today they have crossed a deep red line.
We, the people, must hold the president and his appointees accountable for this outrageous abuse against American liberty.

Permitting reform won’t matter much if tariffs trigger a recession and hike the cost of every transformer and power plant we need to build.

Tariffs will worsen already-extreme supply chain constraints & prices for grid equipment needed to expand the US power system - presumably raising value of solutions that boost utilization of the existing system (GETs, Flex Load, Connect & Manage). 🔌💡

The pattern of ICE apparently hustling its detainees over a state border to frustrate habeas petitions in the jurisdiction where they were detained continues.
Remember that ICE didn’t disclose Öztürk’s location, publicly or to her counsel, until she reached Louisiana.

NEW: Tufts grad student Rümeysa Öztürk can't challenge her detention or visa revocation in MA federal court, because she was already in VT when her habeas petition was filed; and her First Amendment claims can't be reviewed by any court, argues the Trump admin. www.documentcloud.org/documents/25...
![That Petitioner is alleging her removal proceedings were initiated in retaliation for her exercise of the First Amendment does not remove her claim from Section 1252(g)'s reach. See Reno, 525 U.S. at 487-92 (holding that Section 1252(g) deprived district court of jurisdiction over claim that certain aliens were targeted for deportation in violation of the First Amendment.); Zundel v. Gonzales, 230 F. App'x 468, 475 (6th Cir. 2007) (Explaining that First Amendment challenge related to immigration enforcement action "is properly characterized as a challenge to a discretionary decision to 'commence proceedings' ... [and] is insulated from judicial review".); Humphries v. Various Fed. USINS Emps., 164 F.3d 936, 945 (5th Cir. 1999) (determining that §1252(g) prohibited review of an alien's First Amendment claim based on decision to put him into exclusion proceedings); Vargas v. United States Dep't of Homeland Sec., No. 1:17-CV-00356, 2017 WL 962420, at *3 (W.D. La. Mar. 10, 2017) (Claim that ICE "violated her First Amendment right to free speech by arresting her and initiating her removal after she made statements to the media ... is barred by 8 U.S.C. § 1252(g)."); Kumar v. Holder, No. 12-CV-
5261 SJF, 2013 WL 6092707, at *6 (E.D.N.Y. Nov. 18, 2013) (Claim of initiation of proceedings in retaliatory manner "falls squarely within Section 1252(g) ... [and] that [t]he pending immigration proceedings are the appropriate forum for addressing petitioner's retaliation claim in the first instance."). As such, judicial review of Petitioner's claim that commencement of removal proceedings is unconstitutional is barred by Section 1252(g).](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:qrllvid7s54k4hnwtqxwetrf/bafkreifwkztjvylleaeb2sag7tnk2dopyp7xkq7vd6qrxn3typfjxlsluq@jpeg)

Brave to @jeffstein.bsky.social, WaPo's chief economics correspondent, for not wasting any time in stating what must be stated. Hopefully the first of many.
