BREAKING: House Oversight Democrats have just successfully voted to subpoena the Epstein files. Three Republicans joined in support.
This will force Chairman Comer to issue the subpoena. This is an enormous win by Oversight Democrats.

At The Steady State, we make for strange bedfellows. From left to right, critics and insiders—we don’t all agree. But we’re united by one thing: democracy must survive so we can keep debating. The threat is real. The time to stand together is now.

Why are universities so important to destroy in the authoritarian playbook? www.brookings.edu/articles/tar...
Targeting higher education is an essential tool in the autocratic playbook | Brookings
The targeting of higher education institutions in the U.S. is reminiscent of authoritarian strategies in other countries.

We & partners scored a landmark legal win this week
The 1st birthright class certification & accompanying injunction guaranteeing the citizenship of ALL babies born here
Yeah the SCOTUS decision in CASA was terrible--but it opened a door & we ran thru it

For the times they are a-changin'
New Gallup poll:
A significant majority — 79% — of respondents said immigration is a "good thing" for the U.S. today. The share who said it's a "bad thing" dropped from 32% last year to 17% this year.

“…a perfect storm of Christian nationalism, cult-like political tribalism, systemic racism, and the fierce pull of wealth and power.”

I want to know how the people around me lost the ability to care about the suffering of others, and worse, how that ability became a character flaw.

HAPPENING NOW: Judge Xinis comes in hot this morning after DOJ fails to produce the ICE detainer to keep Kilmar Abrego Garcia locked up.
She won't take DOJ's word for it that it exists.
"You have taken the presumption of regularity and you’ve destroyed it in my view," she says.

It is Anti-American.
When a government starts targeting former intelligence officials, law enforcement leaders, and anyone who once investigated or criticized those in power, it’s not just a red flag, it’s a page straight from the authoritarian playbook.
