BREAKING: An immigration court determined our client Mahmoud Khalil to be removable from the U.S. based solely on his political speech.

The fight isn't over — we'll keep fighting for Mahmoud's freedom and all of our First Amendment rights in federal court.

Based on his ability to read the moment, not inconceivable that this is an April Fools joke.
History will remember April 9, 2025 as America’s actual liberation day—the day that President Trump backed down from his ridiculous tariff fiasco.

The U.S. is the only major country on Earth that does not guarantee workers a paid vacation.

When a husband, wife & kids are unable to spend any time together on vacation, that is not a family value. It's an attack on everything a family is supposed to stand for.

Unacceptable.

That's right!!
Pretty much the same amount Republicans promise to “save” in this budget is what the IRS could have collected from tax cheats and wealthy/sophisticated filers WITHOUT RAISING A SINGLE TAX.

But instead somebody somewhere will lose out on healthcare. Stupid and cruel.

"Despite the boom in residents, Princeton still has just a handful of restaurants and few places to take children beyond private backyards. There are not many local jobs, so most of Princeton’s residents commute out of town for work."

We don't have to sacrifice the above to increase housing.
America Needs More Sprawl to Fix Its Housing Crisis
The word has become an epithet for garish, reckless growth — but to fix the housing crisis, the country needs more of it.

Republicans: “Trump is going to fix Biden’s broken economy!”

Republicans: “Actually, Trump SHOULD destroy the economy, and it will totally be great, I promise!”

Republicans: “So what if Trump destroying the economy isn’t good? As long as I get to benefit, who cares who gets hurt?”

Just to be clear: What this directive appears to say is that the administration see libraries that carry books not written by white people or that discuss racism as “diversity initiatives,” so to be colorblind means there is only one recognized “color.”
Hegseth's office ordered the U.S. Naval Academy to review all 590,000 books in its library for content at odds with an executive order banning “radical indoctrination” in K-12 schools, even though it is a college. MLK, Einstein books already identified for removal www.nytimes.com/2025/03/28/u...
