When public media disappears, so do the stories that bring us together.
With federal funding eliminated, millions may lose their last trusted source of news and connection.
If that matters to you, now’s the time to act. Donate: n.pr/458sOhq

A State Department employee shared with PBS News an image from inside the department. The image includes a piece of paper taped to a mirror with the words, "Colleagues, if you remain: RESIST FASCISM. Remember the oath you vowed to uphold."

A man who holds the title of President of the United States, who took an oath to protect and defend the Constitution, who then says he doesn’t know if he’d uphold the Constitution, is unfit to be president and should be removed.

This is a shockingly mistaken understanding of due process by Stephen Miller. It is likely this misunderstanding that is informing the President’s misunderstanding.

Although this is no surprise it remains unconscionable and it affects every one of us.
It's official. The federal minimum wage is now below the federal poverty level for all household sizes, including a single person living alone.

I want to tell you why the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia should matter to you.
The one power you cannot give the executive is the ability to imprison or expel anyone regardless of their legal rights. That is our key check against autocracy. And we are watching it disappear.

Folks, we should be spending zero cycles on this.
If, by some bizarre reading of the Constitution, SCOTUS gives a green light to a 3rd term scenario, all the Dems need to do is nominate Obama. Game over.

Trump’s 3rd-term talk defies the best & most common reading of the 22d & 12th Amendments, and Trump obviously doesn’t give a hoot what the Constitution actually says or means, but it’s still important to explain the pro-3d-term reading as Peter Baker does here.

Trump’s Third Term Talk Defies Constitution and Tests Democracy
The 22nd Amendment is clear: President Trump has to give up his office after his second term. But his refusal to accept that underscores how far he is willing to consider going to consolidate power.
