Breaking: In a 6-3 ruling, the conservative justices just ruled that nationwide injunctions likely exceed the authority Congress has given the courts. In doing so, the Court is narrowing nationwide injunctions that blocked Trump's executive order ending birthright citizenship.

One extremely key thing to keep track of here is that Kilmar Abrego Garcia has two sets of lawyers now; in Maryland in the case surrounding his illegal deportation, and in Tennessee in the criminal case. While they are probably in contact, they have different objectives.

Garcia on Mamdani: "What he was able to do was capture the energy of the people on the ground that right now are struggling and want their costs lowered. Democrats should take lessons from his win. He ran an excellent campaign ... he had good ideas."

An addled president is shredding the Constitution to usher in white nationalism and fascism while destroying the economy and our health care, so if you’re going to write an alarmist op-ed because a mayoral candidate might open five (5) city-run grocery stores, you can kindly get bent.

Senator Gillibrand called on Al Franken to resign. I think she should resign for falsely smearing Zohran Mamdani as a terrorist. He has never invoked a ‘global jihad’. This is a nasty, Islamophobic racist smear from a sitting Dem senator.
