Senator Bill Cassidy is the key driver of this school privatization plan. It would make the US less educated, deny opportunities to all but the rich, and harm US science and STEM and medicine. Cassidy is a believer in the right’s billionaire-driven agenda. He’s not an ally of science. 🧪

I can’t speak for every city, but here in LA, ICE bounty hunters aren’t going after gang members. They’re hunting the vulnerable: gardeners, street vendors, day laborers. Easy money, no risk. Folks need to stop pretending this is about crime. @jacobsoboroff.bsky.social—thank you for your words.

I've often said the signals SCOTUS sends lower courts and potential litigants by its bottom-line actions are at least as important as its legal doctrine. W/the Court doing so many of the highest-stakes cases on the shadow docket, where it's all bottom-line, no reasoning, that's even more true.

I rarely post personal things. But I need to talk about my 4-year-old niece, Hope. She has a rare disease. A drug called elamipretide has helped her survive. But the FDA recently denied its approval. Now, her health hangs in the balance. Please share her story & urge the FDA to reconsider. 🧵

I didn’t have the Supreme Court destroying the authority of federal district courts on my bingo card. But in retrospect that’s perhaps where all this shadow docket decision-making was going all along. Really scary stuff.

Not the worst of it, but the court's conservatives also get to do this without bothering to explain themselves. No need for tortured logic or bad-faith arguments. They get to just blindly greenlight this with no accountability.

Marco Rubio needs to be asked whether he believes his grandfather who remained in the U.S. after receiving a deportation order from our govt should have been treated the way the father of 3 Marines was treated by ICE this weekend in California. ASK HIM. Make him confront his lack of character.

Key line in Robert Kagan's piece: “You would never know, as The New York Times churns out its usual policy-option thumb-suckers, that the United States is well down the road to dictatorship at home. That is the context in which a war with Iran will occur.” The hit on NYT is well placed.
