At issue is a case testing the reach of federal laws that promise special help for children with disabilities in public schools. Specifically: What do parents have to prove in order to get that specialized help?

You don't have to worry about a $60 million dollar jet falling overboard at sea when you've cut Meals on Wheels, SNAP and cancer research.

“A notable number of Eagles players weren't present during the team's visit to the White House. Jalen Hurts, Brandon Graham, A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith, Zack Baun, Quinyon Mitchell, Jalen Carter and Nolan Smith were among some of the players not in attendance” www.cbsnews.com/philadelphia...

Conservative and liberal judges across the country this week ruled against President Donald Trump in at least 11 different lawsuits challenging his administration’s immigration, elections and anti-diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) efforts. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

"If, inshallah, the Trump administration’s legacy rots away and vanishes like the soft tissue of some prehistoric shark, the sharp teeth that remain in the fossil record will likely belong to Stephen Miller." From the archives:

Spring in North Carolina is glorious

Dear #GOP You are running out of time to decide if you take him down or he is the concrete shoes that drown you. Thanks, Sane America

Robert Wolf on Fox News: "I've been in finance for 40 years. This is probably the biggest manufactured crisis I've seen with a bunch of unforced errors. The execution of 'liberation day' was pathetic."

The National Institutes of Health plans to pool information from private sources like pharmacies and smartwatches.

Al gore is pissed off and I’m here for it

Absolutely brutal.

What a night, Raleighwood

Freddie put on a show last night 😮‍💨

Resistence is NOT futile

We haven’t been Popeless two days and Lucifer is out here pulling this kind of shit.

"A time may soon come when words, however reasoned, will not suffice. When no ruling from the Court can constrain the executive or preserve the peace. The mind drifts to Bleeding Kansas. To Harpers Ferry. What a mess we are in."

Resistance is NOT futile

Perfection

Commentary: "Trump may be the first president in history to deliberately put the United States economy into a recession. Once that happens, it would be difficult for even a skilled manager of the economy to ensure that the economic devastation doesn’t cut too deep."

Gov. Josh Shapiro: "I don't care if it's coming from the left or from the right. I don't care if it's coming from someone you voted for...Every single leader has a responsibility to speak and act with moral clarity and condemn this kind of violence."

ICE has just sent an innocent 19-year old young man named Merwil Gutiérrez to El Salvador to die in the same concentration camp. He wasn’t even their target, and they kidnapped him anyway. Jesus Christ, people. Wake up.

🇺🇸 America is currently attempting a combination of The Great Leap Forward and the Cultural Revolution at the same time 🇨🇳 China is looking on and saying, "We tried that and both of them were shitshows"

WSJ Editorial page welcome to the resistance?

Just in case those of us fighting for democracy in court didn't need another challenge, Big Law turning collaborators is here and growing. My firm and others continue to fight. We will never back down. We will never bend a knee. We will never obey.

Tiny #Pittsboro NC, pop. 4,839, shows up! #HandsOff

West Chester, Pennsylvania is out in force.

Today, when hundreds of thousands are protesting, please take a few minutes to watch this video. Republicans are attacking free and fair elections in North Carolina to undermine democracy. youtu.be/8HfXI4d1byk

Some crowd video. People are wrapped around the monument which makes it hard to really capture the full size, but has to be tens of thousands all together (some people are going while others are still coming)

Sen. Booker’s speech was a substantive and moral account of this moment. He did not read the phone book. He did not babble. For 24 hours @booker.senate.gov laid out a detailed, damning, and critical narrative of truth, history, politics, morality, humanity. What will you do?

Without a bathroom break! Good god, the bladder on this man.

HELP! I'm being inspired against my own will! I'm feeling seen! I'm uncovering hope under layers of cynicsm! Who is this spokesperson for a self-reflective party that is committing to fight back, and what does he think he's doing??

I just watched the House bring down a rule in a controversy over a discharge petition related to proxy voting and now I'm going to turn back on a senator who's been speaking for 19+ hours and no, this is not some sort of weird congressional bingo card, it's just a Tuesday in 2025.

A real, rolling filibuster is a thing of beauty.

What Cory Booker is doing right now is what *every* filibuster should look like, by the way. No little documents and notices to the majority leader. If you believe a bill must be blocked, you gotta stand up and bring the place to a halt till you physically can’t do it anymore.

This is incredible! John Lithgow shares 20 lessons on tyranny by @timothysnyder.bsky.social. Please take a moment, and share this widely. www.youtube.com/watch?v=cXR5...

85% of deportation flights are conducted by chartered civilian airlines. What goes on inside those flights, as told by the attendants themselves. www.propublica.org/article/insi...

I am “why is Rob Lowe on the cover of AARP magazine” old.

The textbooks are being scrubbed, the libraries purged, and the truth labeled “divisive.” I’m begging the outside world: don’t look away. Document what’s happening here—because one day, we’ll need the receipts. #HistoryUnderAttack #AuthoritarianCreep #TruthMatters #DontLetThemRewriteIt

Thank you ! Are you going to overlay any other agencies and their cuts ?
