NEW: A federal appeals court ruled Saturday that the Trump administration's bid to shut off public access to crucial government spending data was an affront to Congress' power of the purse — and a law requiring disclosure.

When I reported local news in Brooklyn, one of the clearest obstacles to any truly progressive or helpful action for everyday New Yorkers was the IDC. At every given opportunity, they demolished hope for consequential change.

Vought's & Trump's plan to starve the National Parks of funds & then sell them off.

This this this and so many folks from the margins who are the canaries in the coal mine in this country have tried to explain this to the center since forever

Nixon's resignation letter.

Fifty-one years ago today.

All of the penicillin in use worldwide comes from a strain of mold that was growing on a cantaloupe bought at a grocery store in Peoria, Illinois in 1942.

NYC shooter had two 'mental health holds' in Las Vegas. They didn't affect his legal right to own guns The New York City mass shooter had been diagnosed with multiple mental illnesses and had been the subject of two "mental health holds" in Las Vegas, but none of that limited his legal right to own firearms.

The only part of the Constitution that is not amenable short of a new Constitution is the Senate. Conservatives have been pushing for a Constitutional Convention for 40 years. Post-Trump we liberals may also want to push it even if it leads to a national divorce.

And when they do and you have already lost the 51? 60? votes in the Senate you need to pass legislation, then what? Windows for reform open and also close. The idea that you will surely get multiple bites at the apple is foolish. And a CLEARLY CONSTITUTIONAL reform is sitting right there: Packing.

The only thing that I definitely think can be done is to expand the number of justices. Right now that would mean adding 8 to be certain of a liberal- moderate majority. But this all fantasy talk as Trump's dictatorship settles in.

usually if you ask experts why an empire fell they’ll say it’s nuanced and multifaceted, so i think it’s kind of cool that with America future historians will get to just say like “oh they took the idiot train to moronsville”

They are not good with arithmetic except when it comes to money.

This is again a reminder that college isn’t supposed to just teach you a job but is supposed to teach you how to think, because that job you’re training for might not exist when you graduate

How the New Atheists Joined the MAHA War on Science A new anthology showcases the intellectual failures of a diminishing brand.

Fully entered a state of madness by the time I finished this essay, on the remarkable intellectual (and political) failures of New Atheism, and a new anthology edited by Lawrence Krauss nymag.com/intelligence...

By the way, this action shouts out that Trump never intends to stop being President; that the White House is as much his permanent home as Mar-a-Lago & Trump Tower; an that there is only one law now, which is his whim.

Republicans have had control of all constitutional offices in Texas for at least 30 years & the Texas legislature for 25. Texas also has some of the lowest voting participation rates in the country. So Abbott does not want U.S. citizens voting.

Right? Who knows what they did! We should open up the Epstein Files and see what’s in there, J.D. Good point.

This is exactly why Dems get their ass handed to them by Trump's world. They have no clue how to leverage social media algos to their advantage.

Thank goodness we’ve got our finest minds working on important questions like how can we make cops dumber?

The whole article is the kind of troll piece that appeals to the Murdoch schooled Executive Editor at the WaPo.

this is correct but also, lots of institutions are nonetheless treating him like a dictator, which is helping him despite the administrative capacity issue

Undocumented immigrants aren’t showing up to work because they face a double threat:

📌 ICE could roll up to the job site, because it’s easier to target hardworking people than go after real criminals.

📌 When the work’s done, some employers refuse to pay and threaten to call ICE.
