An 18-year-old migrant worked her first shift cleaning the Bills Stadium. Then she was arrested.
Officials had revoked her work permit & status that same day without her knowledge.
“She has no criminal history anywhere in the world,” her attorney said.

Phil Berger and Destin Hall think it’s better to give tax cuts to David Tepper and Jim Goodnight than it is to keep people with low incomes alive
That feeling when you realize Republican legislators actually only care about children conceptually.

"Harvard can't use race as a factor in admissions, but ICE can use race as a factor in detentions" is a retrenchment essentially to a pre-Civil War understanding of the Constitution. It's vanishingly few steps removed from "Latinos have no rights which the white man is bound to respect."

It's not the most important part of the issue but Kavanaugh saying "well they should just sue if they're the victims of excessive force from ICE" when he himself has previously voted to bar lawsuits against federal officers for violations of the 4th Amendment in immigration cases takes chutzpah.

no surprised that brett ”almost certainly flunked his remedial classes” kavanaugh thinks the constitution authorizes a race-based federal “papers please” regime. quick, someone ask him what he thinks of the fugitive slave act.
This is a paragraph Brett Kavanaugh wrote on his little computer and then sent out into the world:

Got a flyer for a neighborhood group that is mad that they’re trying to densify student rental property near the local university and I’m tempted to go to the meeting and ask folks why they chose to live near a college (founded in 1885) if they hate college kids so much

This is the sort of piece that should have been featured nonstop in the New York Times from August through November last year.

really important to emphasize that roberts' view of the executive branch as comprising a single individual is literally contradicted by the text of the constitution itself
“What America is witnessing is a remaking of the American presidency into something closer to a dictatorship,” Peter M. Shane argues. That project is the work of Chief Justice John Roberts:
How John Roberts Built the New American Presidency
The country is witnessing the creation of an all-powerful institution, and one man is responsible.

The Democratic Party’s capitulation to the Crypto lobby is one of the most nakedly corrupt things I’ve seen in my life.
Crypto is a blatant scam with zero value that is designed to end popular control of our currency. Dems just co-signed the next global financial crisis. It’s unforgivable.

The House voted 308 to 122 for the GENIUS Act, the corrupt crypto industry bill to set the stage for the next financial crisis, encourage money laundering, and bless Trump's corruption.
102 Democrats voted yes, including 4 out of the 5 memberships of House Dems's Leadership Team.

Mike Johnson advocating for kidnapping children. Any Dem worth a shit will make it clear that anyone can buy a gaiter and a fake ICE vest. And he's saying go willingly with them.
There is no reason a federal employee shouldn't have to show their face. And this should be an easy one to win.

MIKE JOHNSON: From the people who mandated mask wearing for years, it's absurd. They need to back off ICE & respect our agents
Q: So you're ok w/agents not identifying themselves when they're arresting migrants?
J: Why, so they can target them? So they can put names and faces online and dox them?
