Section 1 of the Fourteenth Amendment is one of the foundational pillars of our country’s legal system.
An attack or repeal of any part of it, is not just a violation of our rights.
It is an attempt to revive the Dred Scott decision and to declare the Confederacy as the winner of the Civil War.

A study has found that in the immediate aftermath of fires across the region, the snowpack disappears earlier in burned areas. This change can threaten forest health and affect the downstream farms, cities and species that rely on the snowpack for their water. insideclimatenews.org/news/0212202...

So, because they've opened a new "investigation" does it mean that they will say they they can't release files in an ongoing investigation?

An interesting tidbit in the joint status report filed in the Broadview ICE facility case today:
ICE says video from inside the facility "between October 19, 2025, and October 31, 2025, has been irretrievably destroyed" and can't be produced in discovery.

Great quick read from Robert Reich
Trump is a monster. He is an aspiring dictator who wants to wield the same power as a Stalin or Hitler, and he wants to be remembered through statues, stadiums and ballrooms.
He should be remembered as both a liar and traitor

This seems like the most straightforward and also basically accurate message.
instead of saying this was good strategy, maybe senate dems should say: "the republicans were going to kill people by starving them to death, and because we aren't monsters, we decided to let this fight go. We'll keep fighting. Stop electing monsters."
