AOC: We heard that we should take your word that Medicaid will be protected — that we should trust you that no one is going to be affected by this. But as a woman, the word was given that my rights would not be taken away by the Supreme Court — and that wasn’t true.

Today was supposed to be when Rep. Elise Stefanik was confirmed as US ambassador to the UN. But Trump pulled her nomination late last week due to the Republicans’ slim majority. For many in the North Country, the news was met with mixed emotions. www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/5...

A little while ago, my parents' cat Bridget went missing. As the weeks dragged on, they became extremely worried. My dad devised a way to distract himself: he began to paint Bridget's adventures, imagining her travelling through time and popping up in some of art and music's most iconic scenes.

The Trump Administration is on a legal losing streak. “Making preposterous arguments, employing disrespectful language, and treating judges like obstreperous obstacles rather than life-tenured members of a coequal branch does nothing to help its cause,” Ruth Marcus writes.

Will return to this thought. But the notion that USG chooses not to do business w/law firms or foreign companies that choose to seek diverse hires says that the SINGLE GREATEST SELECTION criteria is not, are you best suited to do the job (merit), but do you support segregatation.

I think the Atlantic scandal might actually be a pretty big turning point, more than it seems at first. Not because it's the worst thing Trump has done, but because they look SO, SO stupid and incompetent. And it's an incredible reminder that this is all a massive clown show.

Trump claims he didn’t sign the proclamation used to deport migrants under the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 — but his signature is right there in the Federal Register. So… who is signing these things? And is that even legal? And did he sign any of these executive orders either?
