We are in a deeply dangerous, illiberal place in America when the federal government will deploy law enforcement to force state legislators to act on legislation that's contrary to their conscience and an attempt to undermine free elections.

On this Chairteenth, we celebrate the good folks of Montgomery, especially our guy AquaMayne. Special shout out to the folks who, within 72 hours, recreated this in their apartment complex. A COMMUNITY!! 💀

White House has no plan to mandate IVF care, despite campaign pledge President Donald Trump has said he wants a “baby boom,” but critics say his administration has yet to make significant family policy changes — and that Medicaid cuts will hurt.

All those Trump surrogates who touted this, and news orgs that reported it credulously, owe Americans a big fat apology www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Screenshot of partial Linked In post. Embedded text reads: "just received a public records request for my course syllabus, and it looks like the request came from The Oversight Project (an affiliate of the Heritage Foundation). The stated goal for the records request? To assess UNC Chapel Hill's "institutional compliance with current Executive Orders" that ban DEI."

Undocumented immigrants with licenses from other states can no longer drive in Wyoming JACKSON — As new laws that impact immigrants went into effect this month, the Teton County Sheriff’s Office and Jackson Police Department are grappling with what enforcement will look like

Firing the BLS Commissioner — the wonk in charge of the statisticians who track economic reality — is an authoritarian four alarm fire.

It will also backfire: You can't bend economic reality, but you can break the trust of markets. And biased data yields worse policy.

One thing I cannot emphasize enough in these benighted times is that NO ONE who is not a US Citizen should be crossing the US Border in either direction unless they have no other choice.

It's immensely unsafe.

Whitehouse: "Let me mention first just how very bizarre it is that the Deputy AG is going out to do a witness interview. It really raises the question whether he's doing that in the role as Deputy AG, or if he's stepping back into his role as Trump criminal defense lawyer."

So…not antisemitism.

The leadership of Columbia University is contemptible Vichy scum. To its professors who stay: that’s who you choose to work for, the obeisance to totalitarianism you choose to promote? To students who stay: those are your values?

As a UT Law grad… What. The. Fuck???
