If President Trump can wrongly deport a Maryland father to a prison in El Salvador and then defy a 9-0 Supreme Court order to facilitate bringing him home, who’s next?
This threatens the rights and freedoms of everyone in the United States.

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

New in PN: John Roberts created a monster. It's about to eat him.
"After all, how can the rightwing justices expect a future president — particularly a Democratic one — to accept rulings limiting the exercise of their power from a Court that served as the judicial stooge of an aspiring dictator?"

Nearly every Republican in the Senate voted to overturn a Biden Admin rule that limited bank overdraft fees to $5.
This rule, initially established by the now gutted CFPB, was expected to save consumers $5 billion annually.
The GOP is the party of junk fees.

Today a court blocked co-Presidents Trump and Musk from shutting down the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
This fight isn't over. The case will continue in court, and all of us need to keep fighting for the agency that has returned $21 billion to families who were scammed.

Senate Republicans would rather you didn’t find out they just voted to give the biggest banks billions in profits from overdraft fees that kick working people when they’re down. Disgraceful.

The top 7 donors in the 2024 election — all GOP — gave a combined $1B to buy Trump a second term.
It's a gigantic amount of money in total — but it's just pocket change to them.
We must get Big Money out of politics.
No one from either party should be able to buy an election.

Trump’s definition of "tax cuts for everybody"? The richest 5%.
This isn’t a tax cut for nurses, firefighters, or teachers. It’s a plan to take food assistance and health care away from working families to fund massive tax breaks for the ultra-rich.
