I am sickened by this ruling. Trump’s Supreme Court has reopened the door to dangerous and racially motivated immigration raids in Southern California, leaving families to wonder if heading to work or taking their kids to school could end in detention because of the way they look or talk.
Supreme Court upholds 'roving patrols' for immigration stops in Los Angeles
Supreme Court upholds 'roving patrols' for immigration stops in Los Angeles
The Supreme Court says immigration agents may stop and question people they suspect are here illegally based on little more than working at a car wash, speaking Spanish or having brown skin.

If I were a big Democratic super PAC, I'd be direct mailing a copy of the Trump/Epstein letter to every independent voter in every swing district in the country tomorrow.

Unfortunately, I have to agree here. Republicans are only concerned with whether they gain an advantage by pursuing a specific course of action.
"Newsom’s threat to retaliate in kind is not a divisive attack on good governance. It is, instead, the only hope for democracy. Bipartisanship right now is appeasement. Democrats cannot and should not hide behind neutrality and fairness as MAGA incinerates the remaining tatters of our republic."

I think they’ve turned against vaccines for the same reason they’ve turned against weather forecasting & broadband access & childcare tax credits: it’s an area where government investment has an obvious benefit for the public and thus must be eliminated to reduce trust in government’s abilities.
