House & Senate Republicans are moving forward with a budget reconciliation bill that will at least double the budget for ICE and hand the Trump admin a blank check to expand their unconstitutional deportation operation. Demand your reps oppose this budget plan! 🔥📞🔥 - 5calls.org/issue/ice-ma...

A tale of two movies: Similar deal structures. Similar budgets. One made $45M from 3300 screens, post pandemic, and won the weekend. The other made $41M from 3600 screens pre-pandemic, and placed second. And yet this is the coverage.

The New York Times declares dignity, professionalism, and courage in law firms “nearly impossible.” I suggest this framing exposes more about legacy media’s own problems than it does about the legal profession.

This is getting fewer headlines than it should. After coming to power promising to help working people, the president is revealing his real priorities by actively making it easier for banks to rip people off.

Just before the author Ryan Holiday was scheduled to deliver a lecture at the U.S. Naval Academy, he was asked not to mention the recent removal of 381 supposedly controversial books from the campus library. Holiday refused, and the talk was canceled. This is the story he was going to tell.

Democratic Governor Tony Evers has successfully increased school funding for the next 400 YEARS in Wisconsin by crossing out a few numbers in a bill to change it from “2024–25” to “2425.” The state Supreme Court just upheld his right to do so.

One point that's going to get lost in the discussion of #SCOTUS's intervention in the Alien Enemy Act case: This is the value of nationwide injunctions. Without them, you have to go district by district, and the government can try to play games by moving people to districts without relief (yet).

Today marks the 250th anniversary of the battles of Lexington and Concord, which began the American Revolution. Our nation was founded on resistance to arbitrary authority and monarchical power. We built a democracy in the face of impossible odds. We must continue to protect it.

Trump fabricates a photo of Mr. Garcia with MS-13 tattoo on his hand. This is NOT a real image. Trump and his regime fabricated it. Please understand that Trump regime would fabricate evidence to put you or your family in jail. This is what FASCISM regimes do. www.mediaite.com/trump/trump-...

fun historical fact: among the core political forces in the development of mass incarceration was the "Victims' Rights Movement". Its first major legislative national legislative victory was under President Reagan. The prison population doubled under his administration.

Jesus. No one's asserting that MS-13 isn't bad. They're asserting that Abrego Garcia didn't have anything to do with it. This stunt not only doesn't provide that evidence, it pretty much proves they don't have it. Why else would they go to such lengths to muddy the waters like this?

NYTimes reporter @petersgoodman.bsky.social has written excellently about the role of supply chains on our economy - and inflation. A fair bit of market control and excessive for-profit price inflation was done with supply chain as camouflage/medium. www.theguardian.com/books/articl...

Rs have a plan to sabotage the ACA (same as it ever was). Trump could do this unilaterally through a rule - or Rs could do it through reconciliation to help pay for tax cuts for the rich. CBO just estimated what the Trump plan would do - it'd kick nearly 2 million people off their health insurance.

The purpose of these tariffs is to be able to lift them to those who bow down to him and sacrifice their dignity. That is what he did to the GOP, the billionaires, and is doing now to Big Law. Those who stand up will be punished, those who bend a knee and humiliate themselves will be rewarded.
