Stephen Miller is a fascist promoting a dictatorship. He's an offputting creep, too – the GOP's Dr. Evil. Republican Sen. Thom Tillis says he's a “big problem” for Trump. But that's true only if Democrats take advantage and tie Miller to Republicans in the midterms.

This puts me at 10 people released. I filed my 1st habeas petition 29 days ago. I am an incredibly small-time, nobody lawyer who knew nothing about immigration law the day I submitted that case. I barely know any more today. I had never sued the federal government and now I've beaten them 10 times.
BREAKING: Judge Brann has ejected the new leaders of the NJ U.S. attorney's office, once again finding the Trump administration is illegally attempting to circumvent Senate confirmation.
He says this could result in dismissals of indictments.

The NYT found that doctors hired by Epstein, for himself, the girls & women he associated with, bent or broke ethical rules. Epstein rewarded some of these medical professionals with substantial fees, gifts, & donations.
Complicity = guilt. Consequences 4 all!
Every public servant has an ethical obligation to serve the public interest, not the interests of campaign contributors, family members, billionaire cronies, or themselves.
Johnson: I think what we are learning from the Epstein files was a well-coordinated act of treason. If you think about how they use blackmail to get policymakers to act outside of the best interests of this nation and our Constitution, that’s treason.
If Congress suddenly started to do the job they're paid for, Trump's signature would not be necessary.
Let’s get one thing straight: We are not a Christian nation. We are a nation where you are free to be a Christian.
Your religion guides you, not all of us. It’s as simple as that.
Schlossberg: If this becomes the new normal and the president is able to trademark America’s birthday and issue his own currency while weakening the dollar, having gold skyrocket, and increasing prices on every commodity and input cost in our economy, we’re getting screwed and he’s getting rich.
In contrast to the coverup of the EPSTEIN crimes here in America, there are ongoing investigations in the UK, France, Turkey, Poland, Latvia & Lithuania that is sure to expose his central, filthy role in the largest crimes against humanity case in world history. #AccountabilityIsComing
How ridiculous is it that cities that never get any snow have still been unable to build safe Copenhagen-style bike lanes!
I'm looking at you San Francisco, San Jose, Fremont, Santa Cruz, Berkeley, Oakland, Corte Madera, Cupertino, and just about every city in the SF Bay Area!
People with electric vehicles don't care what "price at the pump" is.
IMO the Iran bombing is a reminder that there's no "liberal abundance"/"dark abundance" synthesis to be had. You can't make progress on housing w/ someone who will take a wrecking ball to the market at a moment's notice, much less by doing war crimes. publiccomment.blog/p/the-housin...
What about starving profiteering companies of your well earned dosh. Oil is stuck at the Straight of Hormuz but petrol and diesel in the station tanks did not get expensive overnight. It is profiteering. Plain and simple. Don't buy until the price comes down. Take the bus,train, cycle etc.
Nominal gas tax increase to pay for safe streets and transit: 😡😡😡
A war with Iran jacking up prices at the pump significantly more: 🇺🇸🥳🥇
Thank god we spent the last few years massively converting industry to renewables and incentivising household solar. We'd be in so much trouble right now.
Microplastics in the air you breathe comes mainly from tires.
Let’s see. Expanding and overbuilding highways. Urban sprawl. Strip malls. Basically all the mistakes California made (mostly still makes). But God forbid people make choices that would allow the next generation to own homes.

Noah Wright says Mayor Johnson and CTA need to stop ignoring the elephant in the room and directly address the system's public safety problems. He cites DC's WMATA, which saw its lowest crime rate in 25 years, as a best practice.
"Blair Lorenzo, Executive Director, Effective Transit Alliance "This is a great decision by Gov. Sherrill, one which should have always been a no-brainer. Urban highway widenings have no place in the 21st century, and all too often, the need for structural replacement is used as an excuse for hidden road expansion. This is the right call not only for New Jersey, but for the entire metropolitan area." "
Last week, NJ Gov Sherrill announced that the NJ Turnpike would replace the Newark Bay Bridge with only one span, finally ending a wrongheaded highway expansion.
Urban highway widenings have no place in the 21st century, & ETA joins our partners in applauding this decision.

Minnesota lawmaker Katie Jones rode in a cargo e-bike to the hospital for her baby's birth. Her husband, Peter Schmitt, pedaled the two miles there.
On the return journey, their son Hans – all 8 pounds and 1 ounce of him – was bundled up and handled it just fine, Jones said.

Both Porter and Swalwell would be better than Newsom. Newsom could have used a better science advisor and economics advisor.
In a stunning ruling, a Reagan-appointed judge just erased every single move Kari Lake ever made. It turns out she was never even eligible for the job. 1,000+ layoffs? REVERSED. Her authority? ILLEGITIMATE. This is a total collapse of the regime's power play:

It was a US strike that killed 165 schoolgirls. Mostly aged 7-12.
While it was likely unintentional, the decision to strike a military target in a densely populated civilian area was not.
Yes, difficult decisions have to be made in war.
I don’t trust this bloodthirsty regime to make good ones.
Instead of taking Live Nation-Ticketmaster to trial, Trump just let them off the hook.
The federal government had been building a case for years, and could have broken up the Live Nation-Ticketmaster monopoly.
But Trump just let them settle out of court.

The quickest and most effective way to fund Social Security while Boomers need it is to welcome young workers from other countries into the U.S. now.
Forcing young couples to have a child will not help at all, as Boomers need their benefits now, not in 20 years.

Well, that’s not good.
