Trump Administration Live Updates: Appeals Court Blocks Deportations Under Alien Enemies Act
The ruling was a setback for a key part of President Trump’s immigration crackdown. The case is almost certainly headed to the Supreme Court.

We have to get through November elections first (and the December #TN07 Special after that).
But come 2026 our first priority will be to elect Chris Taylor for Wisconsin Supreme Court on April 7th.

Data for Progress poll: A slight majority of GOP voters would support Trump for a third term, an unconstitutional move that he keeps posting and talking about anyway. www.semafor.com/article/08/2...
GOP voters favor third Trump term

If you’re a New Yorker of a certain age you’ll remember the Bronx fires in the 1970s and I’ll bet you didn’t realize they were about profit, not poverty…
A new book follows the trail of money from the arsonists who torched the Bronx in the 70s to the landlords who ordered it, the policymakers who enabled it, the financiers who encouraged it, and the insurers who paid for it.
