The Nikkei dropped so significantly, they have suspended trading. I expect the same for U.S. stock market tomorrow 😬

Excuse me what?

Immigrant families think immigration is “different” today?

Wait? We have secret overlords now?

No one should celebrate the murder of children.

Just heard unconfirmed report on npr that NPS firings have begun, including some federal fire fighters. Fire fighters.

To my Democratic representatives, I want some action - protesting, putting out statements to outweigh misinformation, joining the law suits (you’ve done well here), and just some general theatrics. I’m hoping for more Dem candidates w theater backgrounds!

It is trendy among younger scholars to write off the APA esp as Chevron deference ended, but it is still a force for order.

People are getting the word out about the right to remain silent and even the need for a judicial warrant. Now add the proof of over 2 year’s presence advice.

So that quid pro quo is going forward.

This “never enough” mentality is killing us.

Although early reporting suggested the SEC would likely look to “potentially freeze some litigation that does not involve allegations of fraud”, the first case the SEC has proposed freezing is SEC v. Binance: a case alleging serious fraud and knowing violation of US securities laws.

We toured the expanding battlefield in Puntland, including recently discovered Islamic State caves; spoke to imprisoned IS deserters; interviewed Somali and U.S. officials; and reviewed evidence collected from captured phones and drones. www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/0...

I don't know if anyone caught it during the Treasury rally today, but. Rep. McIver straight-up said that her Republican colleagues are leaving their phones off the hook because they don't want to hear from their constituents. THAT is what Dems should be preaching from every corner, every day.
