If you think the airline industry has a ghg problem, wait until billionaire vanity space trips become widespread. We can have a livable planet or we can have billionaires.

"As of August 2024, Head Start and Early Head Start programs in New Jersey were serving more than 12,000 families...." The GOP hates Head Start because they hate women, full stop. www.njspotlightnews.org/2025/04/trum...

Today, DOL closed 11 OSHA offices. This will result in more injuries, illnesses & deaths. And it will save no money, but increase costs to workers, their families, employers & taxpayers. This is the work of Elon Musk & his DOGE team. Can anyone imagine why Elon Musk might want to weaken OSHA?

The conservative legal movement really is full of shit. We're blocking agencies from regulating because they're not attentive enough to the public. But we're blocking the public from doing enforcement because they can't be trusted? subscriber.politicopro.com/article/eene...

At this point the resistance of the universities is important largely because of the role it (or its absence) plays in the carrying out of other aspects of the agenda

Trump defying a 9-0 Supreme Court decision is the reason I say "if we still have free and fair elections in the United States" when I talk about 2026 midterms.

The Justice Department spent the weekend defying a federal court, and this morning Trump and his top officials revealed that they will defy the Supreme Court, refusing to take ANY steps to bring Kilmar Abrego Garcia back from El Salvador.

The lead story in the NYT reports (correctly, and not for the first time) that the assault on higher ed is not about antisemitism or trans athletes or DEI but about the fact that universities are liberal / progressive. OK, we get it. But then why does the same NYT constantly pretend otherwise?

We filed suit today to compel the Office of Management & Budget to resume disclosing key federal spending plans called “apportionments,” which tell federal agencies how and when to spend federal funds. The law requires this disclosure—and the public has a right to know: protdem.org/4ijKGJV

Is there anything more Philadelphia than running a red light just to get stuck at a red light at the very next intersection?

President Trump may soon try to invoke the “Insurrection Act” to trigger the ability to use the military for domestic law enforcement. Today’s “One First” offers an overview of the statute; how it’s been used; and what might happen if Trump tries to use it now: www.stevevladeck.com/p/142-five-q...

This meets @schumer.senate.gov's test of "defying the Supreme Court." SCOTUS unanimously held Abrego Garcia "was subject to a withholding order forbidding his removal to El Salvador, and that the removal to El Salvador was therefore illegal." But Trump admin says right person, right place.

This is one of the many problems with "efficiency." When putting society's scarce resources to their "highest and best use" becomes the North Star, you get to awful places quick. And that is especially the case when the decision-making keys are handed to objectively awful people like Musk.

In the fall, I wrote an essay arguing that progressives need to articulate an affirmative vision of the administrative state to counter Project 2025. Now, I'm working on an essay arguing that progressives have an even more pressing need for an affirmative vision: to counter centrists.

Great. She drank the Klein Kool-Aid. And, regrettably, I'm pretty sure I know who served it.

One of the many functions of Project 2025 was to stitch together a fragile coalition. So, we should expect more of this. Better still, Democrats could seek to identify other latent fissures and actively exploit them.

"It is striking how Loper... and the major questions doctrine are being used this way when they were ostensibly premised on the Court’s conservative justices’ sense that agencies had too much power and were playing too great of a role in interpreting statutes." www.theregreview.org/2025/04/14/c...
