Trump’s DOJ is building a voter purge machine—powered by your private data
The federal agency ordinarily would prevent attacks on voting rights. Now it’s carrying them out.

The war will end when Russia stops fighting. Therefore, pressure has to be put on Russia, so that they stop believing that they will win. Why is that so hard to understand?

Trump’s compulsive dishonesty about the state of the economy (and everything else) has taught us to assume that whatever comes out of Trump’s mouth is rubbish. Unfortunately, we will soon have to disregard the once-reliable economic data coming from govt offices. open.substack.com/pub/contrari...

The American Academy of Pediatrics has sued HHS Secy Kennedy for dismantling what they call a long-established vaccine infrastructure. Claims are brought under the Administrative Procedure Act, which means that despite SCOTUS's decision in Cava, there could still be a nationwide injunction here.

How did we get to this stage? All republican Americans need to take their blinders off if they have an ounce of respect for everyone and anyone who does not look like them, worship like them or speak the same language.
I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

We are in deep shit if a rioter gets a position in the JD!!!!
"As violence erupted, his charging document said, he told other rioters who were attacking law enforcement officers, 'Kill ’em! Kill ’em! Kill ’em!'
He then raised his arms in celebration after breaching the Capitol in a face mask... and escaped through a window..."

The Senate must reject Emil Bove's nomination to the federal bench. His reprehensible conduct at the Justice Department disqualifies him from a lifetime appointment as a federal judge.

I feel like we need to keep saying this because it’s so insane: This is a legal U.S. resident who has been detained for over a month now for his political opinions.
The Department of Homeland Security denied Mahmoud Khalil permission to attend the birth of his first child, who was delivered at a New York hospital on Monday, according to emails reviewed by The New York Times.

Mr. Khalil, a permanent resident detained in Louisiana, had requested a monitored furlough for the birth. His request was denied in less than an hour.

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.
