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.

1/Blockbuster ruling by Court of International Trade nullifying reciprocal tariffs and trafficking tariffs. It also severely handicaps attempts to reimpose. The Court in no uncertain terms rejects national security justification (something courts rarely do). www.cit.uscourts.gov/sites/cit/fi...

NEW from me, @naynagupta.bsky.social, and the policy team at @immcouncil.org. We’re trying something a bit new for our blog, and doing a roundup of “red flags” coming out of the administration in the last week on immigration, rather than focusing on one topic. immigrationimpact.com/2025/05/28/i...

It’s not possible for “illegal” immigrants to receive federal benefits like Medicaid. There are no examples of this happening; they just keep lying about it as an excuse to take healthcare from vulnerable Americans. I don’t understand why mainstream media chooses not to push back on this obvious lie

Instead of revitalizing redlined areas, gentrifying segregated communities or "fixing" the hood, what if researchers & urban planners focused on the resources needed to flourish? That's just what the Institute for AfroUbranism, an urban planning think tank, is doing.

I honestly think that this is a sanctionable brief. It falsely claims that the District Court "forc[ed] the government to detain [8 men] at a military base in Djibouti." This is false. As Judge Murphy himself repeatedly emphasized, it was the DOJ that requested the option of holding them overseas!

There was, and is, a strategic comms effort from the right to tell the country to stay away from Bluesky (and stay on Twitter.) That comms effort included high profile pieces in the press whining about Bluesky being a “bubble.” They were amplified on Twitter. And it persuaded many people.

A lot of Minnesotans struggle to keep up with how fast technology is changing – so we have programs to help teach them. It helps them land good-paying jobs and keep up with the day-to-day tasks that we use technology for. DOGE just cancelled these programs.

A new analysis estimates the Trump/GOP budget's rollback of clean energy tax credits will eliminate nearly 830,000 jobs by 2030 and raise energy prices by 50% by 2035. Just another way the "big beautiful bill" will make the economy worse and your life more expensive.

Perhaps THE biggest myth about impeachment is: The Speaker can single-handedly prevent impeachment. This is false. If a majority of the House wants something, it can get it. There are several procedural tactics available to get a vote. The Speaker is a hurdle, yes, but not a wall.

FYI to media outlets, you're misleading your readers if you repeat this at face value. There's no lawful way for him to redirect these grants elsewhere. It's a lie to distract from how the GOP budget guts educational funding, including Pell Grants at trade schools.
