Here’s the China Minister of Education wiki page compared to the US Secretary of Education wiki page. (You can repeat this comparison for any position and you’ll always see the same result)

One President wildly exceeded his authority by forgiving some student loans; a different President barely scratched the surface of his authority by disappearing anyone he pleases without trial to a foreign gulag. Constitutional law is a serious intellectual enterprise.

The Trump administration doesn’t want to bring him back. The Supreme Court knows this, and could have been explicit about what they have to do, and didn’t ballsandstrikes.substack.com/p/the-suprem...

Serious question: Why hasn't a Democrat sent Bukele a letter like Tom Cotton sent the Ayatollah, explaining that Trump won't be President forever and a future administration won't appreciate him helping kidnap people illegally. cc: @aoc.bsky.social @schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social

People are very eager to let Whitmer off the hook for getting caught in an Oval Office photo op, so let’s take a quick look at the reason she was there

One of the saddest things is that NYS had procedures and plans in place to deal with pandemics. These were completely cast aside in favor of an attention-hungry autocrat in Cuomo.

DEMOCRATIC ELECTEDS: You need to be holding hearings like Raskin/Schiff did but on the bloodbaths at Social Security and IRS. DOGE can now pocket everyone's personal information. IRS is being set up to make billionaire taxes optional; no more phone support # at SSA. HOLD THE HEARINGS.

A post-Trump Truth and Reconciliation Commission ain't gonna be enough to rectify the injustices of these four years. I want criminal prosecutions.

Wow. This is the full document submitted by Rubio against Mr. Khalil invoking INA 237(a)(4)(C). The standard in immigration court is extremely deferential; a judge must accept this so long as it is “facially reasonable and bona fide.” But this is so threadbare that it might not even satisfy that.

Worth noting that this passed by one vote and two Democratic congresspeople have died in office in the last six weeks.

The corollary of “with great power comes great responsibility” is “with no power comes no responsibility” and what we’re discovering is that most of our institutions and leaders fear responsibility more than they want power, and will happily cede the latter to avoid the former

Rep. Don Bacon (R-NE) has a bill to return tariff authority to Congress. If it were to pass, the purposeless tariffs would end. Speaker Johnson is blocking it. Call your member of Congress, R or D, & urge a discharge petition on the bill, which forces a vote. U.S. Capitol switchboard: 202-224-3121.

Good morning. Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors. It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.

💯 Dems should also commit to a specific position: Trump has not honored the promises and agreements of his predecessors and we will not honor his. If you're gullible enough to trust an assurance from Trump, understand that it is gone the moment he is.

Citizens cannot, by legal definition, be "deported." What she's describing is kidnapping and forced imprisonment without cause. She and many, many others in this administration should face prison one day. bsky.app/profile/ones...

I'm not a Stancil-hater or a doctrinaire Marxist, but I think some Online Liberals are as unthinking and dismissive of a Marxism as some Online Marxists are about liberalism. Neither tradition can explain everything we're experiencing or what to do, but both are worth engaging with seriously.

Bosses hated the Biden-era job market where they had to fight over employees instead of abusing them, so used their control over the media to turn inflation into the number one issue, predict a fake recession that never happened, and try to convince Americans to tank the economy. It worked.

When Trump shook John Roberts’s hand on the House floor and said “Thank you, I won’t forget it” Roberts knew exactly what he meant. And he continues to act to benefit the autocrat.

With the traditional 1000 point opening bell drop out of the way it’s a good time to remember that national business community and a huge amount of Wall Street got behind Trump in the biggest way.

I scanned dozens of newspapers from around the U.S. & world. On average, international newspapers cover the widespread protests against Trump/Musk and for democracy much more prominently on their covers than those in the U.S. This isn’t due to deadlines, protests were daytime in the U.S. #handsoff
