First ruling on the actual merits of the use of the Alien Enemies Act (others had been procedural). Trump-appointed federal Judge Fernando Rodriguez writes that "the historical record renders clear that the President’s invocation of the AEA through the Proclamation exceeds the scope of the statute"

You know how bizarre life under Trump is when Andy Borowitz's humor sounds so real and given the BS that comes out of the mouth of NH's progeny Karoline Leavitt she would shove this shit out and not realize she was being played. www.borowitzreport.com/p/karoline-l...

RFK Jr.'s side kick Attorney General Ken Paxton Launches Investigations into Companies for Illegally Marketing Toothpaste Products Containing Fluoride to Kids *best headline! www.audacy.com/krld/news/lo...

Having spent time listening and watching the BBC, the obsequiousness of US journalists will never cease to amaze me. “Yes sir, with all due respect sir, let’s agree to disagree sir”. Here’s a tip: the response to “you’re not being very nice” is “are you the president or a toddler?”

Think of the people whose mouths will rot who will die because they lack access to oral medicine because this guy has no fuckin' clue to what he is doing but he has the pulpit and power to do unimaginable harm.

Another reason to despise the US Chamber of Commerce and National Association of Manufacturers and other members of the “Coalition for a Democratic Workplace” (CDW)—an anti-union trade association www.epi.org/blog/a-coali...

To teachers:“In This Place (An American Lyric)” by Amanda Gorman There’s a poem in Los Angeles yawning wide as the Pacific tide where a single mother swelters in a windowless classroom, teaching black&brown students in Watts to spell out their thoughts so her daughter might write this poem 4 U.

Zelensky will not put on a suit until the war is over...when things return to "normal" then a costume (Ukrainian word for suit) will be what he sports. Remember this folks!!!! www.politico.eu/article/ukra...

I assume the Liberals will just print this up on large cards this morning and post them just outside of every polling station in the country.

You know who else was not awarded due process in America? SLAVES.

Glad to see our president focusing on the kitchen-table issues that matter most to voters

Wow. Naval Academy prof to their 3-star Admiral in his letter of resignation: "your legacy will be that of a careerist who banned Maya Angelou but retained Mein Kampf"

When Marty, my Republican, Libertarian, atheist husband (who never voted for me), died on Halloween 2013 I remember at the celebration of his life at the Capital Center for the Arts I said, if I could prepare one last meal for him one of the invited guests would be Pope Frank.

Arresting judges. Threatening allies. Lying about trade deals. Trying to sell campaign merch from the White House. Floating a 2028 run. Deranged. Dangerous. Undemocratic. We must retake our democracy.

This morning, China confirmed, again, that they haven’t talked to the US.

Why did Dartmouth not sign the letter that expressed the anger&concern of hundreds of colleges&universities across the US with the assault of the Trump administration on higher ed (every Ivy League signed on but Dartmouth) Their decision to hire former RNC Counsel Matt Raymer may give you a clue.

I am pleased to share the news: St. Olaf College has joined 400 colleges and universities and signed the call for constructive engagement!

Why 72% of American Jews disapprove of Trump

Toward the end of Francis’ life, focused his attention on ongoing genocide in Gaza. “He used to call us at 7 p.m. every night. No matter how busy he was, no matter where he was, he always called,” George Anton, spokesperson for the Church of the Holy Family in Gaza fair.org/home/pope-fr...

"What's gonna happen to the elite DC/NY media narrative on DEI?" Nothing, because that media narrative never had anything to do with broader public anxiety about "DEI", and *everything* to do with elite DC/NY media anxieties about the presence of non-white, non-male colleagues.

It is with great sadness and disgust that St. Olaf College, my alma mater, did not join the more than 200 college presidents who signed a letter Tuesday protesting the “unprecedented government overreach and political interference” that higher education is facing under the Trump administration. WHY?

note Dartmouth walked away!!! 180 + University leaders signed a statement denouncing “unprecedented government overreach&political interference” in higher education on Tuesday including all Ivy League schools except for Dartmouth www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...

Love Tim Walz.

RFKjr intends to start a registry to track autistic people. Fuck NO! This is exactly how it started in 1930s Germany.

I'm like a broken record on this, but this stuff needs to be stopped right now and it's of paramount importance. we are staring into the abyss of ethnic cleansing and mass murder in not too long at all. this cannot be come the new normal.

This is deranged. Jan. 6 defendants were repped by one of the best public defender offices in the U.S. They were more likely to be released pretrial & got comparatively light sentences. SCOTUS threw out a bunch of convictions, which almost never happens. They got gold-plated due process!

I started the day attending a 5:45am sunrise service along the Connecticut River in NH that blended a Native American medicine woman and fire keeper and a lay preacher who read us the The Beatitudes (the teachings of Jesus found within the Sermon on the Mount). It was a magical morning

THE ASSAULT ON SCIENCE CONTINUES As Dr. Adam Gaffney a physician at Cambridge Health Alliance in MA said the letter "should send a chill down the spine of scientists and physicians....this (is) yet more thinly guised anti-science political blackmail." www.medpagetoday.com/special-repo...

Vonnegut wrote this satire-today we R living the hell he describe. (God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater is his funniest satire, an etched-in-acid portrayal of the greed, hypocrisy,& follies of the flesh we R all heir to.) “Thus did a handful of rapacious citizens come to control all that was worth that

Ahh but let's not forget that Kristi rolled out her husband during her confirmation hearing (family values theater I suspect) perhaps she thought he would inoculate her from any questions about her relationship with Lewandowski. As a reminder here is here testimony: www.wsj.com/politics/pol...
