My 2nd grader is a good reader but picky. He tore through The Bad Guys books (thank you Aaron Blabey). now he’s really enjoying the Bad Kitty series. He loves the humor and enjoys having pictures. I think he’s a bit overwhelmed by noncomic books. Anyone have suggestions for other books he’ll enjoy?

Take heart that Justice Kavanaugh issued his usual “I’m a nice reasonable guy” concurrence in the case where he made it possible for the govt to try to get away with illegally summarily expelling people to a foreign prison without ensuring there is meaningful due process & review in every case!

Think of this for a moment: If the strike were called tomorrow, how many of you would be ready to notify your employer that you will not be working until the strike demands are met? If we don’t have 11 million of you able and ready to do this, it won’t make the impact we want.

This is my friend Pam and her husband Ron. He is a Vietnam veteran. They have both been involved in POW causes for decades. Yesterday, at a hands off rally in St Joseph, Missouri, a man drove around them in his pickup yelling at them. MAGA folks are not patriots. They never were.

Police officers entered a woman's restroom to arrest a transgender woman who was washing her hands. She was taken to a men's jail and charged with trespassing. She faces up to 60 days if convicted. This isn't about safety, it's about cruelty. www.erininthemorning.com/p/trans-woma...

I explained it to several young teens today: imagine we wanted you to become more self-sufficient in the kitchen, so we decided to charge you $20 every time you got takeout. But also we have no food in the house, we won't let you go to the store, and also you don't know how to cook.

Through his new tariffs, Trump is handing out tax breaks to the wealthy while forcing working families to pay more. Middle and working-class Americans are already feeling the pinch of paying more for essentials like groceries, clothes, and electronics. www.cbsnews.com/texas/video/...

Kudos to the law firm Arnold & Porter. It is the largest law firm that is not either itself target by Trump or representing a firm targeted by Trump to sign the amicus brief in support of Perkins Coie. Put another way, A&P has no direct financial interest in the outcome of the case and yet signed.

Gonna keep saying this: In the 1840s, Southerners insisted that they could kidnap any person they alleged was a slave without any state or federal process. This turned even minimal process into resistance and raised the salience of the issue, which radicalized a bunch of people against slavery.

The GOP fought tooth & nail for decades against classifying acts of racial terrorism as federal hate crimes because they saw it as "federal over reach." Now they're all "ooh, let's make it a federal crime to vandalize cars built by the world's richest man who's also our biggest campaign donor."

The entire point of depriving courts of jdx by disappearing people from the country in the middle of the night and without due process is to suggest the administration can do whatever it wants and it is final. So, now an innocent father has been thrown to the wolves they’ll shrug their shoulders.
