I can't emphasize enough that the most important thing journalists can do right now is publish exactly this kind of article

I suggest everyone become very, very familiar with this piece by law Professor @david.noll.org. I suspect you will be referring to it often. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/if-t...

HHS set up a snitch line to report trans kids and their providers. You know what to do... www.hhs.gov/protect-kids...

BREAKING: Days before she was detained by ICE, the State Department had determined Tufts student Rumeysa Ozturk did NOT engage in antisemitic or terrorist activities. Rubio revoked her visa anyhow. Gift article: wapo.st/4j8d5Uh

NEW: A US State Department official tells Judge Xinis that Kilmar Abrego Garcia is alive and being held in the CECOT prison, "detained pursuant to the sovereign, domestic authority of El Salvador" storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

NEW: The Trump regime continues to defy court orders, and lawyers for Abrego Garcia - the Maryland father illegally disappeared to El Salvador - have initiated contempt proceedings. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/contempt-p...

So I did more digging and apparently there are only fee waivers for passports under specific circumstances (natural disaster as an example). Time to start a movement to make fee waivers available for low income citizens now that the SAVE act is moving forward.

BREAKING — DOGE will descend upon Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) buildings tomorrow, an agency source tells me. FDIC is responsible for insuring all commercial/personal US bank accounts for up to $250k and regulating banks. Scary in light of Trump’s manipulation of markets this week.

Got word that there are issues with repairing collapsing culverts here because the aluminum they need is held up due to tariffs. Apparently the road crew was blaming Biden. Not sure that type of mental gymnastics will help any of us when our access roads get flooded out.

Deeply concerning: US citizen lawyer getting detained and his phone searched on reentering the U.S. at Customs. www.freep.com/story/news/l...

I’m currently eating my feelings. For the record, it is incredibly difficult to keep food in your mouth when you are rage-screaming about politics.

UPDATE: The Supreme Court has paused a deadline to return a Maryland man who was mistakenly deported to El Salvador, after a federal district judge ordered the administration to bring him back by tonight.

"The implication...is that not only noncitizens but also U.S. citizens could be taken off the streets, forced onto planes, and confined to foreign prisons with no opportunity for redress if judicial review is denied unlawfully before removal. History is no stranger to such lawless regimes..."

TODAY WE MOBILIZED OVER 3 MILLION PEOPLE ACROSS THE NATION!!! This movement has entered the next chapter: the people will mobilize again, and again, until we make a difference. It only takes 3.5% of the population in a sustained resistance in order to make a difference. #50501movement

This is how it’s done! Peaceful protests all around. Let’s keep the momentum going!

I wonder how many people realize the tariff on auto parts causes car insurance premiums to go up?
