Critical part of the President's new $100,000 charge for H1-B visas: The Administration can also offer a $100,000 discount to any person, company, or industry that it wants. Replacing rules with arbitrary discretion.

Want visas? You know who to call and who to flatter.

Mimi is a constituent of mine. She testified at a shadow hearing today about caring for four U.S. citizen children who were detained and torn from their parents.

It’s happening. The takedown of Jimmy Kimmel is likely the start of a campaign to use the murder of Charlie Kirk as a pretext to use the power of the White House to wipe out Trump’s critics and his political opponents.

But we aren’t powerless. We can mobilize and organize. Now.

The fact we have secret police whisking people off the streets doesn’t get enough attention. It ain’t normal and we’re further down the road to authoritarianism than you think.

KEEP CALLING. PEEL OFF ALL DEM SENATORS YOU CAN.

☎️: (202) 224-3121

Tell them to vote NO on Cloture and NO on CR. Vote is pushed to after 1:15ish for now. Situation is fluid.

The only public YES votes are Schumer and Fetterman. They need 7-8 total. KEEP CALLING.

Call retiring Senators too!

I think Americans, blessed with relatively stable government for a long time, assume there is someone, some adult, who will step in and make things right before the President does anything REALLY bad.

There’s not.

I was in a meeting when Gaetz news came in. Colleague said a report about a second woman might have been what forced him out. I said, you sure that wasn't Hegseth, because I'd just heard about a second woman in that story. And he said, no Gaetz. But that's kind of where we are.

There are just so many fucked up parts to this story: The abortion happened before Roe v Wade was overturned. A young man was involved but only got probation while the mom and daughter face jail. Facebook gave the cops their private messages. A friend turned them in. This is all just so so fucked up
NEW: A Nebraska mother who helped her daughter end her pregnancy with abortion pills has plead guilty to three charges. The daughter plead guilty in May and will be sentenced next week. Both face two years in prison for accessing healthcare the state made unavailable
Nebraska Mom Pleads Guilty to Giving Abortion Pills to Her Teen Daughter
Jessica Burgess faced eight years in prison for helping her then 17-year-old get abortion pills. A plea deal brought it down to two.

This part seems so strange to me. Armstrong Williams was Clarence Thomas’s assistant at the EEOC in the ‘80s; his media career and presumably his wealth start with the confirmation fight in the 90s. Why would an aide pay for his boss’s wedding?

Some people genuinely struggle to comprehend just how horrifying qualified immunity is in practice. People want to believe it's about split-second, lives-at-stake, no-good-options decisions by police officers. Their minds refuse to believe the kind of facts routinely blessed by district courts.
Wait, holy shit.
