KOH: “Stripping 400K VA workers of union rights… Gutting miner health programs… Slashing youth job training… Trump claims he wants revenge, but the real story is he’s getting revenge on the very working class people he claims he wants to fight for.”

The Commerce Department threatening to take over Harvard's patents shows the extent to which the federal government is trying to pressure the university into a settlement. They are trying everything possible. (gift link)
Trump Administration Threatens to Take Over Harvard’s Patents
The move is the latest escalation in the White House’s battle with the Ivy League school.

Forcing people to pay $130 for a passport in order to vote is just a Jim Crow poll tax by another name.
It is blatantly unconstitutional.

FLASHBACK… Dems wouldn’t overrule the unelected “parliamentarian” to push through a minimum wage hike.
BUT NOW… Republicans have no issue ignoring the “parliamentarian” to explode the debt with Trump’s tax cuts for the rich. 🤔

I'm no lawyer, but it seems like discussing war plans in Signal outside a SCIF is maybe just a little bit worse than using a private server to send emails that weren't even marked as classified. But what do I know.
