Some personal news: the Department of Homeland Security has given me, an immigration lawyer born in Newton, Massachusetts, seven days to leave the U.S. Does anyone know if you can get Italian citizenship through great-grandparents?

Disruption is all they seem to understand—so that’s exactly what they’re getting. For 14 hours, @booker.senate.gov has been on the Senate floor, speaking truth within the rules. This cannot be business as usual when our democracy’s on the line. Thank you, senator.

There should be more recognition of the fact that Ukraine surrendered it’s enormous stock of nuclear weapons in return from assurances from the US that it would be kept safe from Russian invasion by the Western Alliance. Why should any ally trust us again?
