Neal Katyal: "In America, the chief justice said only Congress can impose taxes on the American people, and that's what tariffs are. Tariffs are taxes."

Don't congratulate John Roberts or the Supreme Court.

Congratulate Rick Woldenberg, the Chicago-area leader of Learning Resources, an educadtional toy company that had the courage to sue the president of the United States to save his family business.

As well as everyone else who stepped up.

Kentucky Supreme Court Rejects Charter Schools "We cannot sell people a mule and call it a horse"

Regulations are what keeps ordinary Americans healthy and, often, alive.

It took spoiled meat and rodent droppings out of our food. It took harmful lead out of our gasoline and paint. It took poison out of our water.

Deregulation only achieves one goal: making rich corporations richer.

cool, cool. so we are sort of like citizens, but not really?

This is so embarrassing.

The cartel drones Pam Bondi was sounding the alarm about during the hearing turned out to be… party balloons.

This administration is so incompetent.

"Moderna's CEO announced the company will no longer invest in new Phase 3 vaccine trials for infectious diseases: 'You cannot make a return on investment if you don't have access to the U.S. market. Vaccines for Epstein-Barr virus, herpes, and shingles have been shelved.” 9:12 AM Feb 12, 2026 604.8K Views

In terms of what cures are being lost:

- Epstein-Barr virus is perhaps the major trigger for multiple sclerosis
- herpes simplex virus causes cold sores, genital herpes, infections in babies, deadly meningitis
- shingles virus causes an intensely painful disease

WATCH: Trump, EPA's Zeldin announce end of scientific basis for U.S. action on climate change The Trump administration on Thursday revoked a scientific finding that long has been the central basis for U.S. action to regulate greenhouse gas emissions and fight climate change, the most aggressiv...

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate change—all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.

Charter schools-backed bill allowing some schools to skip RISE test fails in the House • Utah News Dispatch A bill implementing a pilot allowing Utah schools to use a nationally norm-referenced assessment instead of a state test failed.

Utah legislator tries to give test exemption privilege to charter schools. Same old, same old from the charter lobby. Accountability for thee but not for me. @dianeravitch.bsky.social utahnewsdispatch.com/2026/02/12/c...

The Program That’s Turning Schools Around The key to closing the achievement gap may lie outside the classroom.

Community schools! Yes, understanding how to support the whole child matters. @dianeravitch.bsky.social www.theatlantic.com/education/20...

Pam Bondi has been a complete and total failure at her job. The Epstein survivors showed more courage just by being in that room than she did under oath. She refused to answer questions and chose complicity.

America deserves better.

Linda McMahon wanted to visit a Christian private school in Chicago. Parents and students were divided. Here's what happened.
