New: I spoke to Rev. Babs Miller, a lesbian pastor at St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church in Austin, who has known James Talarico since he was "Jimmy." They told me about how Talarico's church formed his support for queer and trans people from a young age.

the proud boys' lawyer thinks he redacted the email addresses of the over 2000 people who donated to the fundraiser for the lawsuit, but here's the thing: no he did not lol
Do partisans cheerlead for firings? A majority of Americans approve of firing Kristi Noem, but Republicans are more likely to approve when it's described as "President Trump's decision." Most Democrats approve either way.

The official NOAA stats out this week confirm that winter 2025-26 was the warmest on record across a huge portion of the western and central U.S., which has contributed to extremely low mountain snowpack & worsened the CO River crisis. Meanwhile, record March heat is in forecast.

The Supreme Court strikes down Trump's emergency tariff power on a 6-3 vote. The opinion, at least on first read, looks to be *very bad* for the president.
The White House Plan B was to try and invoke other authority to do the same tariffs, but the Court's language seems to say that won't fly.
People will applaud the Supreme Court for being fair today but to be clear, they are doing this to save Trump from himself
Thomas, Kavanaugh, Alito dissent.
Roberts writes the lead opinion. With Gorsuch and Barrett, he invokes the "major questions doctrine" to strike down the tariffs.
The three liberals say the major questions doctrine isn't needed to find the tariffs unlawful. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

if they can execute a mother and a veterans affairs nurse in cold blood & in broad daylight in front of witnesses shooting video & do so without any consequences (so far) then they can do it to you.
we hold our rights in common; a trespass on one person's rights is an assault on everyone's rights.
There's a lull now. But people are still here, pissed and not leaving.
It's also negative 6 degrees.
People are definitely setting up a barricade of trash cans and this couch, in the middle of the street where ICE is.
"That's my couch," said a woman standing nearby. "It's been on my porch for four years because it won't fit up the stairs. My neighbor will be pleased it's gone now."
