Stephen Miller and Homan’s goal is to shock and awe blue cities to terrify whole communities. They’ll deliberately targeting businesses, schools, hospitals churches and other places of worship. They want Americans to be afraid. Mayors and governors must stand up to them. Lawyers get on standby.

"1,500 people die each year in #homelessness... Advocates say no one who’s homeless should be left to die." Wrong answer. No-one should be homeless in a nation as wealthy as Australia. Insufficient secure, affordable housing is a policy choice. A deadly one. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Good for Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand for scorching Hegseth right now. He refused to meet with her before today’s hearing. She’s calling him out for saying things like “I don’t want moms in the military.”

1/ Nice tidbit in a supplemental filing from Nauta & De Oliveria, confirming they realize Judge Cannon lacks jurisdiction to bar release of Special Counsel's report. Of course, she never had jurisdiction over the J6 case & can't bar that part, but she dismissed the MAL case & can't act further on it

The right clearly believes that “free speech” means normal people have to subject themselves to trolling, hate speech, disinformation and bile on privately owned social media platforms. In fact, free speech simply means no government ordered censorship.

The best thing you can do is starve Meta for revenue. Never click on or buy anything through their ads. Never pay for an ad to sell a product or advertise an event. Never do anything again that will put one cent in Mark Zuckerberg's pocket!

Four years ago right now. This was our evacuation team that got us out of the Capitol. When they knocked on our hiding place door, they had a code word & we had a response word so we knew they were actual USCP. You can see them holding back rioters. The “Join Us!” chant to cops was stomach turning.

Too often judges fall back to legal theories of no practical import. Textualism, originalism and living constitutionalism are irrelevant labels to everyday Americans. Courts must ensure the Constitution remains a broad shield protecting individual liberty and not become democracy’s suicide pact.
