kudos tonight! Great panel of guests. Neither Scott nor Shermichael had enough to contribute to the conversation were outmatched by Jim’s knowledge and the presence of the transgender guest, who held their own and put them in their place. Discomfort showed clearly.

What if tech bros had held their nerve? What if ABC had told Trump they’d see him in court? What if Ivy League Universities had defended Columbia? What if big law firms had sued Trump? Cowardice is contagious. Welcome to the Great Grovel www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/world/united...
Since Trump came to power cowardice has become contagious
From the tech bros to the leaders of Ivy League universities, the great grovel to Donald Trump is well underway. What America needs now more than ever...

I will never not be proud of Marc and ELG for standing up for what is right. I will never not be appalled and disappointed by the cowardice, greed and self-interest of so many.

Medicaid is a lifeline for millions of people, including 50% of Minnesotans in nursing homes. Democrats are fighting to protect Medicaid from Republicans who want to take away health care just to give tax breaks to billionaires.

Medicare for All isn't radical.

What's radical is that we are the only major country not to guarantee health care as a human right. Every other major country figured out years ago how to provide health care to all at a much lower cost.

Please don't tell me we can't do the same.

Today Donald Trump attacked me by name in a speech at the Department of Justice. Of course I am worried, but courage comes from acting in spite of being worried. I have made my choice: I will continue to speak out, I will continue to litigate, I will continue to stand tall.

I will never bow down.

Those are the agencies for which I believe the record is the strongest, Alsup explains.

*But* the judge said he wouldn't rule out the possibility that he could order reinstatement with respect to other agencies in the future.

Judge Alsup's order to offer reinstatement to fired probationary employees doesn't just apply to the VA.

He continued: "The same relief is extended...to the Department of Agriculture, the Department of Defense, the Department of Energy, the Department of the Interior, the Department of Treasury."
BREAKING: Judge Alsup orders the VA to offer reinstatement to all fired probationary employees, saying their terminations were "unlawful" directive from OPM.
Judge Alsup "rejects" the government's attempt to use "press releases" to say that agencies made these decisions with no direction from OPM.

The TRO will be extended. Additionally, the VA must offer reinstatement to all fired probationary employees. Terminations were "unlawful," court finds.
