“The courts cannot protect us from Trump’s unconstitutional overreach. That is the terrifying lesson of Friday’s SC ruling limiting the power of federal judges to issue broad orders blocking Trump’s policies from taking effect while the lawsuits challenging them make their way through the courts.”

Trump forces the U. of Virginia president to resign rather than endanger UVa’s funding. The New York Times weakly describes it as “Trump’s success in harnessing the investigative powers of the federal government to accomplish his administration’s policy goals.” I call it “fascist strong-arming.”

This is remarkable. New Quinnipiac poll finds support for path to legalization for most undocumented immigrants has risen to 64%. Only 31% want most of them deported. That's a 14 point net swing for legalization since Trump took office. On immigration generally, he's at 41-57!

Bill Moyers, brilliant journalist, commentator and press secretary to President Johnson, is dead at 91. My favorite Moyers story: LBJ asked him to say grace at a White House dinner, then interrupted: "Bill, don't mumble!" Moyers: "I wasn't speaking to you, Mr. President."

And then this shit just came out. When you’re making over $700k a year, gaining $12k is nothing. It’s a nice vacation, redoing the garage, giving a niece/nephew a car. When you’re making $23k a year, losing $1600 is “are we paying for food or for the house or for medical bills” territory.

Millions of Black families are about to be hit hard. Medicaid cuts mean 8.3 million people will lose their health coverage—some will lose their lives. Marketplace health plans? Those are the backup options, but they’re getting more expensive and harder to afford.
