It would take a two-word amendment to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 to subject ICE agents and other federal law enforcement officers to the same liability for constitutional violations that local and state officers currently face.

If Congress actually cared about what it's seeing, it could pass that overnight.

Citrulline regulates macrophage metabolism and inflammation to counter aging in mice Citrulline acts as an endogenous metabolite antagonist to aging and inflammation by regulating mTOR-HIF1α-glycolysis pathway.

Twenty Lessons, read by John Lithgow Key selections from On Tyranny, for viewing and sharing

"On Tyranny" is a #1 NYT bestseller again. I wish the moment were different. But I’m glad the book is useful. And grateful for all the kind words about putting the 20 lessons to work.

From EARTHSEED: THE BOOKS OF THE LIVING Choose your leaders with wisdom and forethought. To be led by a coward is to be controlled by all that the coward fears. To be led by a fool is to be led by the opportunists who control the fool. To be led by a thief is to offer up your most precious treasures to be stolen. To be led by a liar is to ask to be told lies. To be led by a tyrant is to sell yourself and those you love into slavery.

‘Unofficial co-president’: Sen. Warren presses President-elect Trump for answers on Elon Musk’s role Warren is demanding answers from Trump on Musk’s role as a top advisor in his incoming administration, expressing concerns in a letter about the billionaire’s “massive conflicts of interest.”

The American people deserve to know whether an “unofficial co-president” is advancing policies that are good for the country or just good for his own bottom line.
