Did you say “admitted to the bar in 2024?”

The DEI of it all. This is insane.
Paul Ingrassia—a 30-year-old former right-wing blogger and newly minted lawyer who was admitted to the bar in 2024—is Trump’s pick to lead the Office of Special Counsel.

Ingrassia has called Jack Smith a “disgusting man,” accused him of “election interference,” and said he should be jailed.

For the party which claimed that cancel culture and censorship were plaguing our nation, they sure do love to cancel and censor anything Donald Trump doesn't like or want to hear...

The Trump Administration's cuts to our laboratories will:

-Undermine our economic competitiveness
-Harm innovation
-Weaken national security

I'm joining @padilla.senate.gov and @lofgren.house.gov in urging the the Department of Energy and Office of Management and Budget to reverse these cuts.

Donald Trump is trying to rig the 2026 election.

And Republicans in Texas are rushing to help him.

Democrats need to fight fire with fire.

Good.

The courts continue to affirm what should be obvious, these lawless raids — grabbing people off the street based on little more than how they look — have got to stop.

Cutting funding for life-saving research has nothing to do with attacking antisemitism.

It has everything to do with attacking science, universities, and California.

And sadly, it is our health, our knowledge and our economy that will pay the price.

This proves five things:

1. The protests in LA were peaceful
2. The National Guard and Marines were unnecessary
3. ICE officers lie
4. DHS stats on ICE agent assaults are overblown
5. You can not, in fact, indict a ham sandwich if you have no case

If you didn’t read my popular Democracy essay on whiteness, today is a good day as so many of us are grappling with how to respond to the rapid loss of freedom and decency in our nation.

Finding solutions has much to with facing the constructed use of “whiteness” to divide and conquer us all.
DEMOCRACY: “We need to become a powerful majority to turn back bigotry & inhumanity amid this fierce urgency of now—not as a coalition of humanity that agrees all the time, but one united to save democracy & to finally realize the dream of so many who gave their lives to save us,” Donna Ladd writes.
Democracy | ‘Whiteness’ Is an Ancient Con. We Can Defeat It.

(NBC News) You have to wonder how much pain and suffering the Israelis are willing to inflict to control life in Gaza. The "tactical pause" is necessary, but how about a full pause, a truce, PEACE?
