So, the immigration courts have started distributing this flyer. It's being placed on the table you have to sit at for immigration court, and it's being mailed to people with their hearing notices and scheduling orders. The pamphlet is exceedingly inaccurate. I'll do my best to summarize why. 1

🚨Georgetown University Law Center students are detailing which law firms have caved and which have stood up to the Trump regime. They have created this spreadsheet: docs.google.com/spreadsheets... Please share widely.
It's getting buried, but Houston will almost certainly not have representation in Congress until January 2027.
Democratic Rep. Sylvester Turner died nearly a month ago and Republican Texas Governor Greg Abbott has simply decided not to call a special election to fill the seat.
It is hard to express, without resorting to expletives, how utterly stupid it is to suggest that the United States, world's richest economy with a population of 334 million, should have a bilateral trade balance of zero (no trade surplus, no trade deficit) with every country in the world.

This isn’t even factoring in the amount that materials cost now that tariffs cause them to fluctuate.
Manufacturing won’t be coming back to the US unless we make it profitable to do so. Unfortunately, that means either paying workers less, charging consumers more, and/or isolating trade.
None of these are good options for the American people.
I pray that Abrego Garcia receives a fat fucking settlement.
Wisconsin looks like the Streisand effect in full force. Had Musk not bought his way in, the vast majority of people would not have noticed.

Not because they’re proof we have nothing to worry about. Because they indicate that he cannot in fact do whatever he wants, whenever he wants to. Recognize people who are doing their jobs rather than following his whims.
I do, however, have one condition. Ilan and Randy have published an op-ed and a follow-up essay elaborating their arguments at greater length. I know that Ilan is working on a full-length article. If he intends to rely upon that work-in-progress, I would like to see it a week in advance of our debate. By his own insistence, his argument is novel and I will not be able to check any evidentiary claims that he might make in support of it in real time.
The opponents of birthright citizenship have nothing. Their arguments are unserious. But people with power are using them, and they must be contested everywhere. And so I conditionally accepted an invitation to debate Wurman.
The condition:
Ex-Trump National Security Adviser John Bolton is calling for Secretary of State Marco Rubio and current National Security Adviser Mike Waltz to resign over the Ukraine debacle.
They keep saying ‘pedos in Hollywood,’ but so far it’s been rich dudes in Florida.
The detainees were part of a group of some 300 Uyghurs who fled China and were arrested in Thailand in 2014. Thailand deported more than 100 of them to China in 2015, drawing condemnation.

someone needs to tell DOJ that in a public corruption case you're supposed to *prosecute* public corruption, not *do* public corruption
In Chicago, hundreds of immigrants are skipping health appointments and leaving prescriptions at the pharmacy because of fears about the Trump administration's immigration crackdown.
It is the first legal hurdle thrown up to the Trump administration as it seeks to send thousands of migrants to a detention facility on the naval base near Cuba.
If a Scientologist can’t get good plastic surgery done, you can’t.
I'm a one-issue voter and it's "we absolutely need to let banks do mortgage fraud again, it's important." So this is a pretty big day for me.
He's not a "kid." He's an adult, with an important govt job.
The posts weren't "stupid." They were hatefully racist.
His life isn't "ruined." He lost a job.
Holding a govt employee accountable is not a "reward" for a journalist. The reporter doesn't get a cookie.
