My high school age son has a classmate just seized by ICE and she is now in a cell in Louisiana, her phone seized. This is High School in the USA in 2025. More Au Revoir Les Enfants than Ferris Bueller. School and community response already in motion.

🐻 Don’t make Smokey mop up after your weekend fun this summer. Smokey is inspired by a real bear, hurt bad by a real fire. Be kind to Smokey and his friends this summer. Make sure your campfires are out cold by drenching with plenty of water.

I normally like the ideas that tech uses and am not against it. Since this comes out of the very distorted mind of Musk, I am very much against this. Years behind schedule, cheapened by using camera only tech and far from market ready, we should all be very afraid. autos.yahoo.com/tesla-runnin...

Voice of America has been a global beacon of hope and democracy for 80 years. Gutting it isn't "America First" — it's America in Retreat. And our adversaries are celebrating every step of the way. Shameful.

Your periodic reminder that immigration "judges" are employees of the executive branch who, despite serving a quasi-juridical function, can be fired at the whim of the president and AG like most DOJ employees. They are not independent Article III judges.

Seeing as Emil Bove personally fired me from DOJ in retaliation for prosecuting January 6 rioters, I don’t think he should be confirmed to a lifetime seat as a federal judge. But that’s just me.

Trump wants us to lose faith in the justice system by undermining it with pardons, even while denying others due process. But wrong is still wrong, and we must continue to fight him.

This man, Judd Stone, has argued some of Texas' most evil cases in front of the Supreme Court. He defended the state's abortion bounty hunter law, sought to dismantle tribal sovereignty, and repeatedly asserted Texas' right to seize control over the southern border and immigration policy from Biden.

This is crass cost-cutting wrapped in junk science as justification. Removing these recommendations means Medicaid will no longer automatically cover Covid vaccines for kids and pregnant people, who make up about half of all Medicaid recipients. It's "saving" money by forcing the vulnerable to pay.
