Heaven on earth = libraries💪🏿❤️♥️💙

#TaxSky A lovely, inspiring, and motivating Tax Law movie! 26 USC 214 discriminated against men who had never been married on the basis of sex. Then Kiki Ginsburg appealed the case & won/the rest is herstory! Here is my movie review relating it to pro bono service! papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

In this country, a bedrock principle is that you are innocent until proven guilty. You cannot be sent to prison for life without a trial. If you can be swept up and imprisoned for life without a trial, you don’t have any rights.

Republicans in Congress support this.... they own this.

Head Start provides child care and preschool to thousands of Minnesota kids. But this year, Minnesota has received almost $20 million less in Head Start funding. We need to invest in our kids — not take away child care.

RFK Jr.’s lies about autism are disgraceful — and I won't share them to spread misinformation. He consistently undermines public health and reinforces dangerous myths. In Illinois, we stand with those with autism, and I’ll keep fighting for inclusion, science, and the truth.

One of the Venezuelans who the government tried to render to El Salvador's slave labor prison was able to avoid removal and make it to immigration court. The government presented no evidence of gang membership. Zero, zip, zilch nada. This is why due process exists.

There was a 32% drop in the number cars crossing into the U.S from Canada in March of this year compared to March of 2024. Forbes said that a decline of 30% in Canadian visitors would cost the U.S. economy $6 billion in losses...

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

Democratic Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker lambasted the Trump administration for eliminating or threatening to end a range of antiviolence programs, saying, “Public safety is under attack by the Trump administration.” www.wbez.org/criminal-jus...

This is something else.

Nation Can’t Believe It On Harvard’s Side

The head of our country’s government is in the early stages of consolidating total power. We must of course reject this, but that is not enough. We have to respond by creating a different and better kind of American politics than we have seen before.

The entire AmeriCorps agency has been placed on administrative leave

On Monday, @popular.info reported that 29 people whose ballots were invalidated by the North Carolina Supreme Court for never living in NC had, in fact, lived in NC On Tuesday, the NC Election Board, citing @popular.info's report, told a federal court the voters would have their ballots restored

Can the president fire the fed chair? No. The fact that this might happen anyway, despite it being inconsistent with legal precedent, is how you know that the rule of law is weakened to the point of being unable to hold up Democratic institutions. The uncertainty of the act occurring is damaging.

Undermining access to justice undermines the best of America … #BetheChange

Maryland Sen. Chris Van Hollen went to El Salvador to lobby for the release of Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, whose deportation has gripped the U.S. He isn't the only lawmaker with such a trip in mind.

“Thirty-eight of 43 experts cut last month from the boards that review the science and research that happens in laboratories at the National Institutes of Health are female, Black or Hispanic” But, of course that happened 😡 www.washingtonpost.com/science/2025...

I won’t share RFK Jr.’s lies about autism. It’s disgusting and dangerous. If he had a shred of decency, he would apologize and resign. Autistic people contribute every day to our nation’s greatness. To every kid with autism, I’m in this fight all the way for you.

Stop 9 on my 19-county rural tour: Nobles County!   I visited the Nobles County Dispatch Center with County Commissioner Board Chair Gene Metz, Mayor Rick Von Holt, Police Chief Troy Apple, & public safety officials.   We must support the 9-1-1 workers who are vital to public safety.

meanwhile, prominent pundits continue to deny that there the administration adheres to a segregationist ideology

I sympathize with feeling fear to do your job but I feel strongly the remedy is to quit your job, not to stop doing it, especially when people rely on you to do your job.

My adult daughter Rachel works everyday, pays taxes, loves going to movies with her friends, and listens to awful (IMO) music. Our U.S. Dept HHS has lost all of its humanity, compassion, and intellectual curiosity

@mikiesherrill.bsky.social The best ROI by far is investing in our vulnerable kids … and HeadState has been the best bang for our bucks for decades. We are undermining the best resources in America each and every day. #BetheChange

"Donald Trump does not have the authority to unilaterally impose the largest tax hike of our lifetime," said California Gov. Gavin Newsom.

Big news: Interior Secretary Doug Burgum just ordered his agency to shut down construction on the Empire Wind offshore wind project. This is not good for New York's chances of weaning off natural gas. heatmap.news/sparks/empir...

Chief Judge Boasberg's probable cause ruling is *not* an appealable order. DOJ can ask the D.C. Circuit for an extraordinary writ of mandamus, but that requires showing that the district court ruling both (1) was clearly wrong; and (2) is not otherwise capable of being remedied on a future appeal.

The Trump administration is laser-focused on making harder for you to file your taxes while making it easier for the super rich to cheat on their taxes

Thanks to extreme partisan gerrymanders, North Carolina Republicans have given themselves a near-permanent majority—and if they're able to steal a Supreme Court seat too, it will become a GOP model for other purple states.

Breaking news: President Donald Trump’s tariffs are “highly likely” to spur a temporary rise in inflation, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome H. Powell said Wednesday, cautioning that those effects could be long-lasting.

AOC hauls in staggering $9.6 million in just three months as she draws massive crowds with Bernie Sanders

BREAKING: Chief Judge James Boasberg finds that probable cause exists to hold the Trump administration in criminal contempt for willful violation of his March 15 orders regarding Trump's Alien Enemies Act proclamation and sets next steps toward possible prosecution. More to come: www.lawdork.com

Steve Kerr wore a Harvard basketball shirt after the Warriors’ win tonight: “Yes, this is me supporting Harvard. Way to go. Way to stand up to the bully.”

Skipped the paperwork. Ignored the court order. Broke the law. Ignored the constitution. This ain’t immigration policy. This is straight-up defiance of the rule of law.

President Trump’s firing of FTC Commissioners was not only illegal, it also undermines critical work to protect consumers from fraud, scams, and corruption.   I joined @booker.senate.gov and over 200 Democrats in Congress in urging the court to reinstate them.

I just landed in San Salvador a little while ago, and I look forward to meeting with the team at the U.S. embassy to discuss the release of Mr. Abrego Garcia. I also hope to meet with Salvadoran officials and with Kilmar himself. He was illegally abducted and needs to come home.
