Lower courts have issued at least two dozen other "universal" injunctions and restraining orders issued against Trump. His Justice Department is about to demand that all of them be radically narrowed. Impoundments, illegal layoffs, voter suppression—it will all soon resume. slate.com/news-and-pol...

Children in elementary schools often create “books” about their families. Will parents have to be notified for potential opt-out before an 8 year old shares their self-made family book if they have gay parents?

Will this lead to a big increase in court cases throughout the country as people seek the same relief in each circuit court? If so, not only do resources get wasted but it helps Trump’s common strategy of delays when it suits him.

I want to reiterate that countless conservative judges issued universal injunctions against the Biden administration, and the Supreme Court never halted the practice. Now, barely five months into Trump's second term, the court puts an end to these injunctions. A brazen double standard.

My favorite examples are when someone who supports the president contradicts him and the interviewer doesn’t ask if they are calling the President a liar or delusional? Most obvious example is Trump claiming he won the 2020 election, but there’s plenty of other examples.

Panic sounds extreme, but concern seems reasonable if you want to live in NYC but are struggling to afford housing. Concern about antisemitism is reasonable when his first comments after Oct 7 were criticizing Israel without a word of condemnation of Hamas.
Cuomo/Adams bad doesn’t make Mamdani good.

But a majority of Jews who voted in the Dem primary did not support Mamdani.

It’s great that Trump has recognized he shouldn’t trust Hegseth or Gabbard to guide him on Iran strategy, but the article says he is instead relying on his more “experienced” inner circle including JD Vance (no foreign policy experience) and a passive Rubio deferring to Trump. Not reassuring.

One clarification - if she was brain-dead as reported, then she was not alive. Machines were keeping her organs functioning, so her body could function as an incubator.

It’s not just Gambia.
We got internal cables, notes and other records that show how U.S. diplomats have intervened on behalf of Starlink in at least four other developing nations. All while the U.S. has withdrawn foreign aid from those same countries.

Another case like this. A 12-year-old boy was left behind on a street after an immigration raid in Waltham, Massachusetts.
ICE agents were seen on camera leaving the boy by himself on a sidewalk after arresting the person he was with www.cbsnews.com/boston/news/...

Neither - the topic was about why she lost the election, not whether voters wrongly blamed Biden/Harris for global inflation following a pandemic.
In reality, Harris lost the election, Biden ended his term as very unpopular, and voters associated them with inflation.

What you said may be correct, but the pictured poll doesn’t say that.

My post said nothing about disqualifying or one thing she said once - she took multiple more moderate positions in 2024 than in 2019 when any voters formed initial opinions of her.

1. So you think Biden and inflation during his term were popular in 2024? Or that his VP wasn’t associated with him in voters minds?
2. You think voters knew and accepted her 2024 positions vs her positions in 2019 when many first learned about Harris?

For some examples, I’m 2019 she supported Medicare for All and decriminalizing undocumented border crossing. For better or worse, she supported neither in 2024 and did not explain why she changed her positions (not that the electorate would listen to a detailed explanation).
