I want to tell you why the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia should matter to you. The one power you cannot give the executive is the ability to imprison or expel anyone regardless of their legal rights. That is our key check against autocracy. And we are watching it disappear.

Keep talking about the Signal security lapse at the Pentagon. The media may have forgotten about it, but the voters have not.

Urgent: Illegal Activity Underway Many undocumented immigrants file tax returns with the IRS, providing details about their residences, families, employers, and earnings. The IRS has historically encouraged tax compliance by issuing ITINs to those without Social Security numbers.

We have been renovating our kitchen little by little and now I finally have all my spices where I can see and use them! Maybe I could be a spokesperson for Penzey’s?
