I just heard a political commentator say that the reason so many people showed up to vote was that they saw a Democratic Party finally doing something…WHAT!? I say people showed up because we figured out no-one was coming to “save” us but us! The People will save democracy.

This evening, President Trump is ordering 400 members of the Texas National Guard for deployments to Illinois, Oregon, and other locations within the United States. No officials from the federal government called me directly to discuss or coordinate.

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.

DOGE keeps cutting agencies and funding and personnel, but no one I know has saved a dime on taxes.
It’s almost like they are stripping the public good of resources to send that money to the oligarchs in tax cuts…

Trump is targeting law firms that defend federal employees, expanding his campaign of retaliation against lawyers he opposes. A new memorandum threatens to use government power to punish any firm that, in his view, unfairly challenges his administration.
