The shutdown rages on. Military families aren’t getting paychecks, small businesses can’t access loans, and Virginians are waiting longer for Social Security and Medicare help.

Republicans own this mess.

Much better. And had a great time in Goza.

Cops are great

Another violent attack by an ICE officer on a civilian at 26 Federal Plaza—this time on a journalist, who had to be carried out on stretcher.

Another attack on the First Amendment, our neighbors, and our democracy.

From @byjustinmiller.bsky.social in our magazine: So swings the political pendulum of First Amendment rights, as this foundational protection is treated as a prop to be bear-hugged in one moment and conveniently tossed aside when an opportunistic moment demands.

For Greg Abbott, Free Speech Is Just Another Political Prop

Charlie Kirk defended the First Amendment. Texas betrays it in his defense.

Yes. @cristianfarias.com nails this. Not just the core holding of the Court’s immunity decision,
but CJ Roberts’ gratuitous opining that the President’s control of DOJ - even for sham prosecutions - cannot be reviewed, imperils every person on Trump’s enemies list.
