As with the EOs concerning elections, immigration and naturalization is categorically NOT an Article II power. To do this, the executive branch will undoubtedly try to hang its hat on some delegated authority by Congress. The focus now should be on clawing those delegated authorities back

I don't always drive through Parliament Hill security checks and refuse to show proper credentials, but when I do, it's because I am self-important.

16 pounds down, happier and sleeping better after cutting back on social media consumption and channeling anxiety and malaise into healthy activities for the last three months.

We are not afraid of you, because even with the greatest seat of power, you are a spectacularly small man. We are not afraid of you because you are not worthy of our fear; because that would mean respecting you—and we do not. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/we-the-peo...

WHOA. Trump will strip Temporary Protected Status from thousands of AFGHANS, at a time when the Taliban is fully in control of the country and carrying out total oppression. If any country deservers TPS, it's obviously Afghanistan! We're going to send women back there to be treated as property?

The law firm partners and university presidents who cave to Trump are betraying their fellow Americans. They're deciding that their wealth is more important than our freedom.

The Trump regime is working to deter dissent. Anyone who goes against Trump could end up on a target list. This is having a chilling effect on five major pillars of society — universities, science, the media, the law, and the arts. It's straight out of the fascist playbook.

House Republicans voted to overturn the CFPB's cap on excessive overdraft fees — which was expected to save consumers $5 billion annually. The House also struck down CFPB oversight over payment apps run by Big Tech companies. The GOP is the party of letting you get ripped off.
