A US judge to govt lawyers defending the NIH's grant terminations:

"I understand the administration is against DEI. Respectfully, I just don't know what you mean. This isn't a teasing question. There has to be some working definition.

This is research to advance healthcare for all our citizens."

Illinoisans deserve dignity, privacy, and the freedom to live without fear of surveillance or discrimination.

I'm issuing an Executive Order to safeguard the rights of those with autism in our state as Trump's administration threatens those very freedoms.
In response to RFK Jr., Pritzker to sign first in nation executive order protecting autism data
The governor's office said the executive order is in response to rising concerns about efforts to create federal autism registries or databases without legal safeguards or accountability.

CONGRESS...DO YOUR FUCKING JOB AND CHECK THIS ASSHOLE.
The US Constitution gives Congress the sole power to impose tariffs.

Trump is using the National Emergencies Act (and the IEEPA) to bypass Congress to levy tariffs.

All Congress has to do is pass a bill denying this explicit emergency power to levy tariffs to Trump and all of this goes away.

As someone who has written a little about performance and legislative politics, I am begging people to stop using "performative" pejoratively. Politics *is* performance. All human interaction is performance.

Zelenskyy stayed in Kyiv while Russia was bombing the city and sending in hit squads to kill him. J.D. Vance fled to an undisclosed location because some peaceful protesters yelled at him while he was on vacation. This is why I believe victory over these people is still possible.
