More on this, and another important brief by religious groups www.ncronline.org/news/catholi...
Wow: "The Executive Order is Immoral" says one of the brief's headings. A majority of SCOTUS is Catholic.
Why a Republican Supreme Court struck down Trump’s tariffs www.vox.com/politics/479...
The good news: a bit of honesty from a Trump DOJ lawyer. But the bad news:
So glad that @warren.senate.gov represents me, in every sense. prospect.org/2026/02/17/e...
NEW: A federal tool meant to find noncitizens on voter rolls is consistently marking citizens as noncitizens, especially if they were born outside the U.S., causing chaos as election clerks try not to disenfranchise voters, @zachdespart.bsky.social and I found. 🧵 www.propublica.org/article/save...
More of this plan that I agree with, see my previous post
Is class warfare the future of US politics? I sure hope so! www.nytimes.com/2026/02/11/o...

UMass Lowell Chancellor Julie Chen said it best: "when it seems like a group’s primary focus could harm the organization you represent, it’s hard to justify sticking around." www.bostonglobe.com/2026/02/06/b... #mapoli

SHOCKING FEDERAL COURT MOMENT: DOJ attorney Julie Le, "The system sucks, this job sucks" to Judge Jerry Blackwell who pressed her on why so many court orders are being ignored by ICE/Trump admin. She asked to be held in contempt just so she could get 24 hours of sleep. @FOX9

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.
