For "One First," I took a deeper dive into Friday afternoon's very significant #SCOTUS Alien Enemies Act ruling—including why it effectively freezes AEA removals for the foreseeable future and its (much) broader potential impact on all attempts to bring nationwide challenges to Trump policies:

AOC: The math is not adding up. Their claim is that one million undocumented people are on Medicaid. So why are they trying to cut 13.7 million Americans off their healthcare?

I support our men and women in uniform, including the brave law enforcement who defended the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021. Many officers are still dealing with mental & physical trauma from that day. We can honor their service & sacrifice by posting the January 6th plaque.

The rule of law lives or dies on our willingness to act—occasionally with grim resolve. It’s time for people who value justice to screw their courage to the sticking place.

The transfer of white Afrikaners to the US was fast-tracked after refugee resettlement officials came under pressure from top admin people to make it happen quickly, sources at NGOs who were informed of this tell me. Trump wanted this done. New from me: newrepublic.com/article/1953...

Russia-Ukraine peace talks are a farce. Failed in Turkey for the same predictable reason. Russia pretends it’s interested in peace. US pretends that too, to pretend Trump is a peacemaker. And Ukraine pretends he is, to show (yet again) that Russia, not Ukraine, is the obstacle to peace. My latest:

We’re happy to report that everyone is safe and that a politically motivated investigation launched by the Trump administration into an EPA grant program has collapsed without uncovering any meaningful evidence of criminality. The Trump administration tried to charge federal employees with crimes

According to a study by Penn Wharton, Trump's "big, beautiful bill" that pays for tax breaks for the rich by cutting Medicaid leads to a $700 LOSS in income for the working class, a $1,000 LOSS in income for the poor & a $389,000 INCREASE for the top 0.1%. We must defeat it.

It's really important that what's happening at Harvard is not covered just as research cuts but as an all-out assault on higher education. This administration has explicitly said their goal is to destroy, or at the very least dramatically reshape, these institutions.

Musk's Starlink was having a hard time getting permits abroad. Then Trump slapped tariffs on basically everything we buy from overseas—and suddenly countries negotiating trade deals started giving Starlink sweet deals! Looks like textbook corruption—and we're all paying for it.

Random reminder that banning members of Congress from trading stock is a total no brainer. They can use privileged information to make money on the stock market, while they’re supposed to be working for you. Make no mistake — it’s legalized corruption.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court rules 7-2 to further enjoin the government from summarily deporting alleged gang members under the Alien Enemies Act. The government didn’t give enough notice and the 5th Circuit erred in refusing to provide relief, the justices concluded.

Yes, this is huge. There seems to be a 7-2 majority on the Court now unwilling to trust that the government will consistently follow through on its word and act in good faith.
