“Any university leader who signs on to this compact would betray everything good and solid about the university and would do deep and permanent harm to the United States and the world,” writes @sivav.bsky.social in this brilliantly belittling essay. newrepublic.com/article/2013...

Durbin to Bondi: "Although you've been a registered foreign agent for Qatar, you didn't recuse yourself from signing off on Trump's solicitation of a free jet from the royal family, even though this gift was clearly illegal.

🔥Trump said that he’s considering invoking the Insurrection Act,
a 19th-century law which would allow him to federalize the national guard, on the grounds of an “invasion” or “rebellion”.

Trump sicced the National Guard on LA, ramping up immigrant arrests in a city that’s been targeted by ICE for months.

Truly, everyone's a "rogue capitalist" now.

It's almost like the problem with companies isn't whether their business model is based on showing you ads or charging you money,

but rather, whether they can abuse you for profit and get away with it.

Trump signed NSPM-7 on Sept 25. You probably missed it.
It orders federal agencies to investigate "anti-American, anti-capitalist, anti-Christian" views as potential domestic terrorism.
Who decides what's anti-American? And why only anti-Christian and not anti-religion? They want a theocracy.

I'm sorry, but what's wrong with giving health care to immigrants? Republicans don't even want to give health care to citizens, but I don't understand the argument against keeping people who contribute billions of dollars to the economy healthy. It's also less expensive in the long run.

Oregon: Feels like we're playing a game of whack-a-mole. Your honor said there was no basis in conditions in Oregon for federalizing troops. That caused govt to send in CA NG, we filed motion to enjoin, and then we heard about mobilizing TX NG under same design. So we need to broaden relief.
