Quote from Library of Congress, Constitution Annotated site: The Fourteenth Amendment prohibits states from depriving any person of life, liberty, or property without due process of law. The Supreme Court has held that this protection extends to all natural persons (i.e., human beings), regardless of race, color, or citizenship.

A little OT, but this made my day this morning:
Statement by Bluesky above Derek’s posts stating that he’s “Followed by God, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and 93 others” that I follow.

What could possibly go wrong?
AP article BY REBECCA BOONE AND DAVID A. LIEB Updated 1:18 PM MDT, April 8, 2025 BOISE, Idaho (AP) — As a measles outbreak spreads through other states, Idaho is ending publicly funded vaccinations for people living in the U.S. illegally. A new law recently signed by Republican Gov. Brad Little will halt a variety of public benefits for those in the U.S. unlawfully, including communicable disease testing, prenatal and postnatal care for women, crisis counseling and some food assistance for children. The Idaho law, which takes effect July 1, appears to be the first limiting public health benefits since President Donald Trump ordered federal agencies to enhance eligibility verification and ensure that public benefits aren’t going to ineligible immigrants. Similar measures have been proposed in several other states.

I’m laughing bitterly at the Atlantic right now.
Atlantic magazine promo bragging about their quality attached to a story pretending everything is normal. “Uncompromising quality. Enduring impact. Your support ensures a bright future for independent journalism.”

FTC Chair Lina Khan is a God Damn Hero. We will miss her work so much when Trump fires her next week.
From the Yahoo article linked in the original tweet: The findings levelled at the three big PBMs stem from a report carried out under the leadership of outgoing FTC chair Lina Khan. She has been a frequent target of criticism due to her robust approach to investigating monopolies and waging battle with Big Tech, earning her the ire of major figures in Silicon Valley on both sides of the political divide.

It would be on-brand for Biden NOT to acknowledge he made any mistakes, much less that he deliberately did anything bad. He was upfront about this in 2019-20. Maybe he thinks it makes him look tough, rather than supremely obstinate and lacking a conscience. To the clip below, add the crime bill.
First two paragraphs from Washington Post article April 4, 2019, by Matt Viser, titled “Joe Biden’s long-running no apology tour hits the #MeToo era”. “Joe Biden hasn’t offered a full-throated apology for his treatment of Anita Hill in the 1990s. He hasn’t backed away from his view that busing was the wrong way to integrate schools in the 1970s, nor has he denounced his decades-old positions on banning federal funding for abortion services. Over the past few days, as several women have complained that he had made them uncomfortable by touching them in separate encounters, he has adopted a tone of defiance mixed with a smidgen of contrition. He said women have a right to their views, vowed to change his behavior in the future — but made it clear that he doesn’t believe he ever acted inappropriately.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/joe-bidens-long-running-no-apology-tour-hits-the-metoo-era/2019/04/04/caf47bdc-56e7-11e9-9136-f8e636f1f6df_story.html
