This week was definitive proof that pushback works, just like it did during the first trump administration. You may think “resistance” is cringe but it WORKED.

What? Rogan is actually for Due Process?
Joe Rogan explains to his audience why due process is important and quotes Ben Franklin — "it is better 100 guilty persons should escape than that one innocent person should suffer.”

#Spring is arriving up to 20 days earlier in some parts of the US, disrupting ecosystems and human activities. Plants are leafing and flowering sooner, while animals are changing their migration patterns.
These mismatches can have serious ecological consequences.

Spring is arriving earlier across the US, and that’s not always good news
Climate change has advanced the arrival of spring by as much as several weeks in some parts of the US. This can mean major crop losses and disconnects between species that need each other to thrive.

I want to tell you why the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia should matter to you.
The one power you cannot give the executive is the ability to imprison or expel anyone regardless of their legal rights. That is our key check against autocracy. And we are watching it disappear.

Even if Durbin and Graham fail, there are plenty of others waiting to take a swing at Section 230 (judges, lawyers, other lawmakers)
One of the most pressing underreported threats imho is the new FCC head, who literally wrote a chapter of Project 2025 about how the agency should weaken Section 230
