Show me a building named after a white man and I’ll show you a harder working ex-wife who made it possible.

Budget passed the House 215-214. Really feeling those 3 vacant (deceased) Democrat seats right now. Ugh.

Using #5Calls app to call my elected Representatives today to vote against the inflated and pentagon-heavy federal budget! Non-partisan CBO reports the bill will result in massive MediCARE cuts (in addition to the cruel cuts to Medicaid and SNAP, already in the bill). Get calling!!

Boyle cites CBO numbers: "For people in the bottom 1%, they will experience a 4% loss household wealth. Meanwhile, for people in the top 10%, they will see their household resources increase by 2%. It is as simple as that."

Boyle: "This is really the breaking news ... because of the size of the deficits, because of the paygo act, that would trigger sequestration of Medicare, and it would total over $500 billion. The official figure that CBO confirms is $535 billion in cuts to Medicare."

For "One First," I took a deeper dive into Friday afternoon's *very* significant #SCOTUS Alien Enemies Act ruling—including why it effectively freezes AEA removals for the foreseeable future and its (much) broader potential impact on *all* attempts to bring nationwide challenges to Trump policies:
151. The Supreme Court's (Alien Enemies Act) Patience is Wearing Thin
A very quick breakdown of Friday afternoon's quietly significant ruling slapping down the lower courts in the Northern District of Texas Alien Enemies Act litigation—and what it means going forward.

For no particular reason, I thought I’d remind folks about the time Trump reposted a full-size, full-color image of a truck that was “decorated” with an unconscious Joe Biden, arms and legs bound as though he’d been kidnapped, during the campaign. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...
We Need to Talk About This
Today’s widely discussed Trump post on Truth Social isn’t just another instance of bad behavior.

Via "One First," me on why Stephen Miller's riff on suspending habeas corpus is not just factually and legally wrong (in multiple respects), but reflects a dangerous escalation in the Trump administration's rhetorical attacks on the courts:
www.stevevladeck.com/p/148-suspen...
www.stevevladeck.com/p/148-suspen...
148. Suspending Habeas Corpus
In response to adverse rulings in numerous immigration cases, Stephen Miller is raising the specter of suspending habeas. His argument is factually and legally nuts, but it's worth explaining *why.*

We expected 2,000 people out in GOP-held Greeley, Colorado.
11,000 people showed up.
Something special is happening, folks. Now is the time to organize in every dimension possible and get to work.

A survey of 100,000 Germans found only 3% would consider buying a Tesla. But when Musk shared it, the figure jumped to 70%. Bots manipulated Musk's post, with 253,000 votes from just two US IP addresses.
