Moving Federal Education Programs Will Create More Bureaucracy, Not Less The Trump administration is unlawfully using interagency agreements to continue its piecemeal dismantling of the Department of Education.

Don’t miss my new piece for @americanprogress.bsky.social on how the Trump admin’s use of interagency agreements is illegal and meant to further dismantle the Department of Education, creating more bureaucracy, not less, and harming schools and students 👇🏼

This exchange drives me nuts. Neither the interviewer nor Bazelon acknowledges that 1) abortion rights are really popular! and 2) what ICE is doing is hugely unpopular!

This old post is going around and I’m compelled to point out the role of political fiction in political analysis.

RESULTS: Democrat Tim Keller has won reelection as mayor of Albuquerque.

He defeats a former Republican sheriff, who took issue with Keller's executive order that limited collaboration with ICE.

And that's not all: Liberal faction seizes majority a city council.

The Great Barrington Declaration was a bloody disaster. One of the greatest human follies of the modern age.

Sheer arrogance and cynicism.

The first sentence is missing a verb. I am not a copy writer. It is painful reading that.

Yesterday, I held a music festival in my district to register voters and speak directly to young people who don’t usually attend political events. 4,500 tickets. Music + advocacy go hand in hand. Madsoul Festival 2025 was a success.

This is how trump is funny and endearing in a way that dem leaders don’t understand.

It’s a problem he is truly funny.

Three-year-old child forced to serve as her own attorney in Tucson immigration court More than a dozen undocumented minors were forced to make their case in front of an immigration judge as the Trump administration ramps up removal proceedings.

There is no sight that more efficiently puts the lie to immigration “court” than the common sight of children “representing themselves.” Children too small to climb into the chair, children in pajamas who don’t know where they are, children not yet old enough to speak.

Opinion | Trump’s Boat Strikes Corrode America’s Soul

“The president inhabits a position of moral leadership. When the president and his officials sell their policies, they’re selling a version of what it means to be an American”

I wrote about the Trump administration, the boat strikes, and St. Augustine.
