"In our federal system, the National Gov. possesses only limited powers; the States and the people retain the remainder. The States have broad authority to enact legislation for the public good—what we have often called a 'police power.' The Fed. Gov., by contrast, has no such authority."-SCOTUS '14

Everyone should say it: The thing about Stephen Miller is not that he is the brains behind Trumpism. Yes, he is one of the people who conceptualizes the impulses of the Trumpist movement and translates them into policy. But that's not what's interesting about Miller. It's not brains. It's bile.

Whenever law enforcement agents are given a quota of a specific number of people to arrest or detain, especially with the WH policy director screaming at their superiors to hit those target numbers, bad things are going to happen. Quotas always result in civil rights violations.

Big point that is being missed: without the insurrection act, the activated Guard troops are now federal army and cannot Do law enforcement. Period

Worth noting LBJ used the National Guard to protect and expand civil rights; DJT is doing exactly the opposite.

We were on the cusp of an immense breakthrough: A cure to our HIV epidemic. A vaccine to prevent one of the world’s deadliest diseases. Until RFK Jr. defunded vaccine trials because a cure to HIV isn't as important as tax breaks for rich people like Big Pharma CEOs.

I can say with authority that it's a particular form of hell to expend yourself writing a 12 page NIH grant for the past 3 months without the assurance that NIH will actually be there to evaluate it. But even worse is having a proposal funded, then a bunch of bros get it recinded. #neuroskyence

Yesterday, GOP Senators arrested 8 of their own constituents rather than face questions about their "big beautiful bill." Senators must vote NO on any bill that cuts medicaid, food stamps, or clean energy tax credits to fund tax breaks for billionaires and Big Oil.
