I want to be very clear about what’s happening: Senate Republicans know the parliamentarian will say they can’t use 312 to pretend tax cuts are free (because two have two Byrd rule problems). So they are refusing to meet with her so they can pretend they never ignored her when they do it anyway.

I'll point out that #Texas is common state for #medical conferences. As a clearly not white-presenting person, but someone who has just right skin tone to be profiled as either Hispanic or Arab, you could not pay me any amount of money to go to Texas or Florida, lest I end up in Alligator Alcatrez

Justice Sotomayor dissenting on birthright citizenship case: "The gamesmanship in this request is apparent and the Government makes no attempt to hide it. Yet, shamefully, this Court plays along. Because I will not be complicit in so grave an attack on our system of law, I dissent."

Trump is closer to his goal of eliminating birthright citizenship. Those with migrant parents who vote Republican are voting for a party that wants to strip them of citizenship and deport them.

Don’t get it twisted—today’s SCOTUS ruling makes it harder for courts to fully block dangerous policies like Trump’s attack on birthright citizenship. Once again, they’re bending the law to serve him instead of defending the Constitution. It’s shameful.
