If the Marshals Go Rogue, Courts Have Other Ways to Enforce their Orders Opinion | Even a rogue marshal’s service is not an insurmountable obstacle to courts enforcing the rule of law.

I strongly suspect this recent piece from Prof. David Knoll is about to be come extremely relevant and widely read.

"Even a rogue marshal’s service, in other words, is not an insurmountable obstacle to courts enforcing the rule of law. If courts have the courage, the legal tools are there."

If Donald Trump can override our elected officials’ control of the purse strings, we are effectively entering a period of taxation without representation.

Trump posted: β€˜All federal funding will STOP for any college, school, or university that allows illegal protests. Agitators will be imprisoned or permanently sent back to the country from which they came. American students will be permanently expelled or, depending on the crime, arrested. NO MASKS!’

You might not see it in the mainstream media, but over 10,000 people protested today at Tesla showrooms across the country, another 10,000+ rallied in support of national parks, and more than 1,000 gathered in Vermont to protest Vance’s visit.

Musk’s status as a β€œspecial government employee” limits him to 130 days in the executive branch. However, despite working dailyβ€”documented by his own X postsβ€”they claim he only works one day a week, effectively stretching his limit to 130 weeks. This needs to be brought to Congressβ€”please share.

I'm the Mom. But No One Listened to Me. My son had Long COVID. I assumed his situation would be understood, thanks to science. But I discovered that my voice wasn't heard even though it mattered most.

Denial is not effective treatment for kids with long COVID. Mothers of children with long COVID often know this but are dismissed again and again.

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

The U.S. #NationalWeatherService, housed within #NOAA, is a truly world-class meteorological predictive service, perhaps singularly so. It costs only ~$3/yr per taxpayer, & yields ~10:1 return on investment--saving economy 10s-100s of billions, not to mention thousands of lives.

A study of 203 veterans found that Long COVID may cause a unique frailty distinct from aging.

Unlike geriatric frailty, driven by weakness and slowness, post-viral frailty is marked by exhaustion and low activity.

Yesβ€”I agree. And be aware that this applies whether your reps are Republicans or Democrats.

Every politician in Washington must be absolutely flooded with demands from citizensβ€”of every stripeβ€”demanding that the powers of Congress be restored and the current coup by unelected plutocrats be stopped.

The moment you check your news feed you run out of spoons.
