This is huge.
Massachusetts is home to tens of thousands of hardworking Haitian TPS recipients who enrich the culture of our state, contribute to our economy, and help ensure we meet the needs of elders and patients in our health care and elder care industries - this victory belongs to them.
As expected, Judge Ana Reyes has extended Temporary Protected Statys protections for people from Haiti, who need these safeguards more than anyone who has ever received them.
"Having neither [the law nor the facts] on her side, Noem pounds X.โ
Agreed on both points ofc and it is the first one that Reyes rightfully had real questions about bc DHS definitely did not show its work on this revocation

I remain optimistic based on how the hearing went last month but uggggh

We must abolish ICE, DHS, and we must have prosecutions. I expect to see enforcement of our city code prohibiting the use of tear gas.

She also expressed at least some concern for her queer daughter's future & the non-citizen employees in one of her warehouses who the company now has to actively protect from ICE, with the usual caveat that it all would have been worse under Harris somehow

Genuinely baffled, I ask: "Were you raised to respect billionaires? Because I wasn't."
She nods.
"It's a tax bracket thing."
I truly hope to never understand this
8. Weiss's project is creating an Operation Paperclip for Epstein's cronies. Taking a group of discredited men and rehabilitating them as necessary pillars of system. Dershowitz and Peter Attia are the Wernher von Brauns of reactionary centrism.

This funding repeal is the single most necessary legislative act of the second Trump term so far and it is not even close. I will literally sleep better at night if they can hold the line and get this done
