Trump’s Assault on Disability Rights is an Assault on All of Us You, too, may one day be disabled. Keep that in mind when Trump and RFK Jr. slash benefits and roll back protections for anyone who is.

My latest article for Current Affairs is about the Trump administration's attack on disability services.

This is deeply offensive. Chauvin does not deserve pardon.

I’m seeing a lot of posts about how certain immigrants sent to El Salvador are not actually criminals and this is true but I would also like to remind you that people with criminal records shouldn’t be subjected to this, either.

This federal administration is an embarrassment to every dedicated civil servant who has ever tried to do good for our country. Certainly, our government has often been two-faced, and has perpetrated a host of wrongs too long to list here.

Real government employees take the guardrails on this kind of communication seriously because they remember that their duty is as public servants, not wanton warmongers advancing oligarchs' agendas.

The fact that CIVILIAN VOLUNTEERS for a city commission regularly demonstrate more rigor and sense of propriety about their operations than the SECRETARY OF DEFENSE, the VICE PRESIDENT, and others, is not only astounding but insulting.

In that time, if anyone on the commission got talking policy or planning via email, another member would invariably step up to stop the conversation, because it would be a violation of Minnesota open meeting laws, which require public business to be conducted in public, at public meetings.

Dems for Some Reason Expect Trump to Follow the Law on Detention of Mahmoud Khalil β€œI expect the Department of Justice to work within the confines of the law,” said Rep. Adriano Espaillat, who counts Khalil as one of his constituents.

Free Mahmoud Khalil

Thank you @ilhanmn.bsky.social for being one of the only Democrats left with the courage of their convictions.
