If the U.S. government is going to take the position that, once removed from the United States, folks can’t be brought back, then it sure seems to me that federal courts should be reflexively and categorically barring *all* removals until they’re 100 percent certain that the removals are lawful.

"Many of my good friends have their funding withdrawn or frozen based on the DEIA wording such as 'diverse microbes'" a scientist reliant on federal research grants told me, adding NSF proposals with terms including 'disabilities' and 'female' have been put on hold

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

The county library system just put out a hell of a statement about the EOs, telling us they're bullshit and the libraries are here for the whole community no matter what.
I am so proud of them. Goddamn I love librarians.

Well played, President Claudia Sheinbaum, for committing troops already at the border since 2021, knowing perfectly well President Man Baby would have no idea and take it as a win.

FBI Agents Association bipartisan letter to House/Senate leadership asking for a de facto intervention to stop the DoJ/FBI purges. That has no chance of happening unless at least four GOP Senators are publicly a "no" on Kash Patel as FBI director. Not holding my breach for that one.
