Let the Grift Tour begin.
President Trump plans to leave Monday for a four-day trip through deep-pocketed Middle East monarchies, a sign of Trump's intention to de-emphasize the traditional U.S. allies that typically serve as the first foreign destinations for new presidents.
In Mideast, Trump plans to focus on business deals, not geopolitics
The trip is expected to focus primarily on cementing trade ties. On the heels of Trump Organization business deals in the region, it also showcases the blurring of Trump’s private business ventures wi...

You know, it's probably not a bad idea to go to My Social Security *today* and download your data.
Passing on a note from a colleague: People with federal student loans should download their files IMMEDIATELY. These files are currently on the studentaid.gov website, which may get deleted if Trump follows through with his EO to shut down DOE

What a tremendous boon for Stanford and anyone who cares about historical preservation—and probably a huge relief for the California Historical Society as well after such a rocky road. Congratulations to Stanford Libraries.

California Historical Society to Dissolve and Transfer Collections to Stanford
The society faced financial challenges that were exacerbated by the coronavirus pandemic. Its nearly 600,000 items stretch back before the Gold Rush.

Was looking for the original source for “75% of farm laborers did not show up for work today,” and CalMatters is legit, nonpartisan. Even if that quote is potentially exaggerated, there is plenty to be concerned about. You wanted cheaper eggs? You have no idea.

And if taking an originalist position, do you think that the writers (and voters) of the 14th Amendment, at a time of vastly expanding US immigration, were somehow thinking "Oh no, we don't mean them"? It just doesn't add up.
this is the thing. are there clauses and provisions in the constitution that require other knowledge to understand? absolutely. but the constitution was first and foremost a *public document* meant for *ordinary people* to be able to read and understand
I always think, when I read about the tortured interpretations of the constitution, “I can read.”

About 75% of immigrant farm workers did not show up for work this week in Bakersfield, California, as the threat of Trump’s immigration raids looms.

Oh look a readymade fascist army of loyalists who have proven their willingness to cross lines of legality.
Just in case people don’t fully grasp it. The pardoning of insurrectionists is Trump’s way of building loyalty from militias and domestic terrorists to carry out unofficial acts for him

Why yes, we are fucked. Thanks for asking.
not a lawyer, not an ambassador, diplomat or elected or appointed official - apparently feels free to do deals with Iran on behalf of the US?
Elon Musk negotiated for the release of an Italian journalist imprisoned in Iran by promising the US wouldn't pressure Italy to extradite an Iranian engineer detained in Italy for supplying drone parts used in an attack on a US military base that killed three.
