A federal judge ruled for our clients, blocking the Trump administration from enforcing a directive banning schools from teaching or operating any programs related to diversity, equity, and inclusion.

Website For MAGA-Friendly Businesses Backfires As People Use It For Boycotts Social media posts about PublicSquare have gone viral as Trump critics use it to find companies not to support – the opposite of what the site was set up for.

Money speaks. Even if you don’t feel you have power, you do.

Had so much fun cohosting and talking with the inspiration for “Four Dragons” and “The Drift.”

Kamala Harris: “he’s a fascist”

Gen. Milley: “he’s a fascist”

John Kelly: “he’s a fascist”

Historians of fascism: “he’s a fascist”

The NY/DC political media: “how did we all fail to see that Donald Trump was a fascist?”

Spotted in Durham, true across the nation. 😔

"Listen, my children, and you shall hear
Of the midnight ride of Paul Revere,
On the eighteenth of April, in Seventy-Five:
Hardly a man is now alive
Who remembers that famous day and year."

Meanwhile in Michigan, it’s parka weather in the morning (34) and T-shirt weather by 2pm (74). Welcome to spring.

Bridge the Gap: Scene Transitions That Work in Any Medium Ever read a book that gave you literary whiplash? One minute you’re in a steamy bedroom scene, the next you’re at a funeral, with zero explanation of how we jumped from passion to passi…

Scene transitions are the unsung heroes of storytelling. Done right, readers glide from one location to the next without even noticing. Done poorly, they’re left wondering if they accidentally skipped three pages.

Yet another example of how reading comprehension has bit the dust.

Reshore jobs then make sure people can’t do them. This administration can’t count to 2, let alone create cohesive policy.

Oh, SNL… Thanx for the laughs. Much needed.

Copy of 24th Amendment of US Constitution: Section 1 "The right of citizens of the United States to vote in any primary or other election for President or Vice President, for electors for President or Vice President, or for Senator or Representative in Congress, shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or any State by reason of failure to pay any poll tax or other tax." Section 2 "The Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation."

In other words, the SAVE Act is a poll tax and a violation of the 24th Amendment.

What We Must Do Now To Win in 2026 Since Trump entered the political scene, Democrats have outperformed in midterm elections.

Restrictions on voter registration can determine who wins and who loses. So can limits on early voting and vote-by-mail access. Close elections often hinge on which votes are counted — and which are disqualified. Even when results aren’t close, Republicans increasingly contest outcomes they dislike.

Then explain how. It's my understanding that the usual line of succession is VP to Speaker to Sec of State (although under war, the succession is different).

They’d need to remove Vance as well. Next in line after him and Johnson would be Rubio. (Sec of State)
