As someone who lived in New Orleans during the thing you call Katrina, I’m here to say that the time to politicize governmental failure in a tragedy is when anyone is still paying attention.

Statement from North America's Building Trades Unions on Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill”:
“If enacted, this stands to be the biggest job-killing bill in the history of this country. Simply put, it is the equivalent of terminating more than 1,000 Keystone XL pipeline projects”

I will never understand why this man’s decency brought him ridicule while the other’s indecency brought blind devotion.
President Biden pays his respects to the Minnesota lawmaker, her husband, and dog that were murdered. This is what leadership looks like.

Posited: it's no coincidence that such contempt for fed district ct judges was shown today (and elsewhere recently) by 6 justices who themselves *never served* as a district ct judge or trial judge of any kind.
Pls discuss.

That last bit describes my whole approach to this administration.
Justice Sotomayor dissenting on birthright citizenship case: "The gamesmanship in this request is apparent and the Government makes no attempt to hide it. Yet, shamefully, this Court plays along. Because I will not be complicit in so grave an attack on our system of law, I dissent."

If you’re an American should watch the Anthony Bourdain Parts Unknown ep on Iran. A deeply humanizing look at a country full of people just like you and me. I watched it after Anthony died and it moved in ways that are hard to relay. I also immediately ran out to try kabob koobideh and tahdig.

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

Teacher Appreciation Week celebrates educators—but it also highlights the challenges they face. Despite attacks on public education, communities know the value of teachers and our public schools.

No one has ever been released from CECOT in El Salvador. I imagine Bukele will not allow it simply because this Kilmar will talk to the media in the US and could be a witness for ICC investigations into human rights abuses.
BREAKING: Md federal Judge Paula Xinis GRANTS preliminary injunction, rules from the bench that Kilmar Abrego Garcia was apprehended "without legal basis" and removed to El Salvador illegally, "without any legal process." He's to be returned to the U.S. by 11:59 on Monday, 4/7.
