Trump forces the U. of Virginia president to resign rather than endanger UVa’s funding.
The New York Times weakly describes it as “Trump’s success in harnessing the investigative powers of the federal government to accomplish his administration’s policy goals.”
I call it “fascist strong-arming.”

If so, it is time to start crafting some cool-ass laws. What a time to be a state legislator or an AG in a blue state. The Supreme Court just said you no longer have a boss. It's the last day of school, Democratic state majorities and AGs! Time to abuse some power.

🚨In its fourth decision, the Supreme Court holds that parents who object to LGBTQ books in the classroom have a First Amendment right to "opt out" their children from seeing those books. Alito writes for the 6-3 majority, with all three liberals dissent. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

If you make $1.1 million, you’d pay an extra $2,000.

Every single time an attempted ICE kidnapping occurs we MUST rally around the victim, bully the perpetrators, and call 911 and MAKE THEM RESPOND. Wanna not be bastards? Wanna be one of the good guys? Show up and cuff the terrorists!
Having trouble getting past "responds to kidnapping call, discovers federal operation"
The LAPD is claiming that someone called 911 to report a kidnapping when masked up federal officers grabbed a man at 9th street. They are saying that is why they formed a perimeter to protect the raid from angry citizens

Direct File is the kind of forthright, straightforward, unapologetic make-government-work-for-you kitchen table pitch that Dems who are looking for national analogues to Mamdani's winning platform should be grasping with both hands.
80-90% of polled voters say Direct File is a good thing. It is quite literally one of the most popular government programs in America.
If Democrats cared more about winning than making their donors happy, they could win 8-10 House seats next year just with ads showing off this tweet.
