I think this might be my new answer to every legal query my bosses toss my way: “I have searched the depths of Legal Arguments not yet articulated or vetted on this subject, and will be presenting an irrefutable one in the very near future.”

Pride Flag Is Removed From Stonewall Monument After Trump Directive

I’ve disagreed with a lot of what the Trump administration has done, but it’s hard to argue with this one. The woke left has been gaying up Stonewall for far too long.

Seems like the moves Canada is making toward China are rattling Trump pretty well. It’s too bad he’s temperamentally incapable of backing down from his stupid trade moves and threats toward America’s closest ally.

Trump's ICE is not making anyone safer—in fact, ICE agents are violating the rights of American citizens.

From June 2020-Oct. 2025, Trainor served as an FEC commissioner, charged with enforcing campaign-finance law against candidates for federal office, including Trump. Saying he worked "side-by-side" with Trump is a confession that Trainor violated his oath to the Constitution by serving Trump instead.

There we go; *that*’s the term for what we’re seeing: “mountainous inhumanity.” Thanks for that, Will.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

• If you are outside your home, ask the agent if you are free to leave. If they say yes, leave calmly.

• GIVE THIS CARD TO THE AGENT. If you are inside your home, show the card through the window or slide it under the door.

…

• DO NOT ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS from an immigration agent if they try to talk to you. You have the right to remain silent.

• DO NOT SIGN ANYTHING without first speaking to a lawyer. You have the right to speak to a lawyer.

This card is being handed out in Minneapolis. It hurts to read — and to realize how necessary it is.

Here’s what the Spanish says:

You have constitutional rights:

• DO NOT OPEN THE DOOR if an immigration agent is knocking on the door.

Republicans are freaking out about Hispanic voters after a Texas upset Democrats flipped a deep-red state senate district over the weekend that has the party worried about November.

Man, that’s weird. What could possibly have happened in the last year to cause Latino voters to change their opinion of Republicans?

Press statement From Islip Forward: At approximately 9:30 a.m. this morning, federal agents were documented using infrastructure located on the property of the Central Islip Fire Department Station 2, at 110 Wheeler Road-without prior authorization to be on or use that space. When a volunteer with Islip Forward approached to document the activity, federal agents threatened the volunteer with arrest for alleged trespassing, despite the agents themselves operating in an area where no prior permission had been granted. Immediately following this interaction, the Central Islip Fire Department took swift action to protect its property and the public. Temporary restrictions were implemented, including closing the gate to the area being used and preventing external access. The use of municipal fire department property for federal enforcement activity—without authorization-and the subsequent threat directed at a community volunteer raise serious concerns about transparency, overreach, and respect for local institutions. We are deeply grateful to the volunteer firefighters of the Central Islip Fire Department for their decisive and responsible response.

ICE was stealing equipment from the Islip Long Island fire department and a Islip Forward member documented it. ICE tried to arrest the community member but the firemen said “I don’t think so” www.islipforward.org

The memorials to Renée Good and Alex Pretti are lovely and heartfelt. The pain the city feels from their murders flows freely.

Minnesotans are famously nice people. But as thousands of them filed past the Alex Pretti memorial today in a massive bike demonstration, they really seemed like they'd had enough.

Usually, when you think “blizzard,” you think Dairy Queen. But in Chicago, sometimes you have to think White Castle.

Kids are so soft these days. A little bit of snow on the ground, and all of a sudden, Katie says she has to flee town and spend the weekend outside somewhere, and that I should go with her.

Wait, what?

Trump’s fundraisers are now using the threat of dispatching ICE against citizens as an email engagement tactic.

Understand that 370 days ago even bringing a motion like this would probably have been treated as sanctionably frivolous

Today it was granted ex parte

THIS is the NRA's statement?!? To blame Walz?

Not surprising but still despicable

Our country was founded on resistance to a tyrant.

The Corporate Power Reset That Makes Citizens United Irrelevant By using their authority to define what corporations are—and what powers they hold—states can end the era of corporate and dark money in U.S. politics.

There’s a provision in almost every state’s laws that says that no out-of-state corporation can exercise any power in that state that a domestic corporation can’t exercise.

Heads up, Congressman! Colorado has the opportunity to beat Citizens United *right now*; a bill is about to be introduced in the Colorado legislature based on this strategy:
