There is fantastic discussion going on with everyone about the welfare of bees, climate change & wild bees vs agricultural honey bees. The more we talk about things going on the better. I do want to promote healthy discussions about solutions to issues of this nature rather than bickering.

Imagine being a small business with debt, that you used to import products you had manufactured in china. In the time it took to make the products, tariffs were added, that more than doubled your cost. They are crushed Are there any states offering support for their businesses ?

NEW: The Acting Director of the Immigration Courts issues a new memo purporting to authorize immigration judges to deny asylum applications without ever having a hearing. It's not clear that she has legal authority to do this; as Director, she isn't permitted to set precedent.

Bravo to Susman Godfrey. My first reaction to hearing they had been targeted was to tell people that it wasn’t in that firm’s DNA to settle. Their late founder Steve Susman would be proud of his firm—as should our profession and all freedom-loving Americans.

It’s been much more than 24 hours. Seems like this was fake news.

It’s so irresponsible for people to keep saying the MAGA regime “accidentally” deported Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a notorious mega-prison in El Salvador, it wasn’t an accident, it was on purpose and now his family have no contact with him and don't know what condition he’s in. Evil.

Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY) says it's "not realistic" to rule out cuts to Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid.

I’m choosing to believe that Abrego Garcia is still alive and the administration just doesn’t want him to come back and tell the tale of what’s really going on down there

A Louisiana immigration judge ruled Friday that recent Columbia graduate and Palestine activist Mahmoud Khalil can be deported—even though Khalil has a green card, is a lawful permanent resident, and has not been charged with any crimes.
