“If the administration’s assault on foreign students seems unprecedented, it’s because it is. If the abrogation of TPS for Venezuelans seems unprecedented, it’s because it is…And if it all seems stupid and cruel and damaging to this country, it’s because it is.”

While attention has been focused on the crypto industry's push for the dangerous GENIUS Act, crypto has been taking control of the CFTC. By hiring a current CFTC commissioner to lobby for crypto behalf, they've effectively handed over the whole commission to Marc Andreessen's stooge
The Blockchain Association Just Bought the CFTC
The revolving door isn’t just corrupting the CFTC—it may end the pretense of a Commission altogether.

I’m pissed off. I’m newly married and at an age where I want to start a family.

And yet we have uninformed, reckless people in power making irrational, dumb decisions that will kill American children.

What are people my age supposed to do? Not have kids? Hope they don’t get a preventable disease?

UPDATE: The Senate parliamentarian advised lawmakers that they couldn't use the Congressional Review Act to revoke California's right to set vehicle standards. But they did it anyway. Expect a legal fight.

For Ukraine 🇺🇦, fighting is no longer a moment - it’s a way of life. In the West, we’d be wise to grasp what that truly means.

Donald Trump targeted AP and legacy media did nothing.

Donald Trump has now targeted two large law firms and Big Law is silent.

So, I ask you -- What are you doing?

I will use every tool at my disposal to protect this country from Trump. I will litigate to defend voting rights until there are no cases left to bring. I will speak out against authoritarianism until my last breath.

I will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey.

In future generations, when your children and grandchildren look back on this moment, they are not going to ask about the price of eggs. They are going to ask you what you did. Not what you felt. Not what you paid. But what you did. And I want to be able to say I did everything I possibly could.
