America cannot long remain free, nor first among nations, if it becomes the kind of place where universities are dismantled because they don't align politically with the current head of the government.

Trump’s attack on higher education “was a call to action which has been answered by Harvard and .. 100 other schools .. It has also taught an important lesson: giving in to Trump’s attacks is not a sustainable strategy for any organization.”

Friendly reminder. In the United States, criminals are entitled to due process. Even if you pay hush money rig an election, steal top secret documents, or incite a mob to overthrow the government; no matter how egregious your crimes, you’re entitled to due process.

This "WHO'S NEVER COMING BACK" document published by the White House should be "EXHIBIT A" in any forthcoming hearing where a judge/justice has asked the White House to prove how it is "facilitating" the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House.
We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication.
They own what happens next.

Aside from the obvious direct harm, what's so irritating is that a handful of spoiled ignorant assholes are breaking things that we all built together. They weren't content to own almost everything, they had to wreck what little they didn't own. It's vandalism on a mass scale and has to be punished

To demean thousands of transgender service members' sacrifice by removing them is cruel and stupid – and makes us all less safe.

Transgender troops will be removed from the military, Pentagon says
The policy goes further than the trans military ban that President Donald Trump instituted during his first term, which allowed some trans troops to continue serving.
