Ellis: "I am going to grant the plaintiffs' motion for class certification."

That we need an order like this shows us how the Republican Party has completely failed to protect and defend the Constitution in the name of "national security". Every American should be justifiably angry that it has come to this.

Gross!

Ellis says she is "ordering complete relief to the plaintiffs."

Lots of calling BS right now. Makes me think of Parkland and X Gonzalez. How much longer do we have to put up with the lies?

What this means: CBP/ICE is going to be enjoined against using force against peaceful protestors - the other question here is injunctive relief: how will the American people be sure this NEVER HAPPENS AGAIN and that those who commit crimes in the uniform of the United States are held to account?

Ellis attacks the characterization of rapid responders as "agitators": "Describing rapid response networks - neighborhood moms - as professional agitators shows just how out of touch these agents are," Ellis says.

Wow! Judge Ellis ain't having none of their Trump BS

This is both wise and timely. Pelosi unfiltered should be a lot of fun.

Today in the New York Times: 40 — That’s the median age of first-time home buyers in the U.S. in 2025. Five years ago, it was 33.

Has anyone written about why Trump decided not to endorse and support the Republican candidate in the NYC Mayor election?

This is literally the next election on the federal level. This is how we keep the 218 votes needed in the House for the discharge petition to force release of the Epstein files. bsky.app/profile/did:...

Y'all follow this! Very important moment.

1. This is a damn lie. 2. Bombing for peace is like raping for virginity. But this guy knows about that attitude. 3. If he actually believes this, he's delusional.

Matt Van Epps thinks Trump is doing the right thing by forcing taxes onto the American people through his illegal tariffs. @aftynbehn.bsky.social has a different view. aftynbehnfortn.substack.com/p/what-trump...

This is a foolish headline. Democrats don't face a battle. They have an opportunity. Who defines the party? The Democrats do! Who are the Democrats? People who believe in protecting and defending our Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic! www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Trump put a lot of money into these elections. He could have spent it on SNAP benefits.

Earle-Sears ran what felt like 12 billion ads about how much she hated trans kids and I didn’t hear a single pundit say she should stick to real issues that affect real people.

NEW: Footage of a US citizen in Chicago being rammed then dragged from her car on her way to work. Abducted, with no warrant, her family couldn’t find her for hours. She was later released with NO CHARGE. A DHS statement said she “violently resisted arrest, injuring two officers”. You decide…

I'm sure Bari Weiss would NEVER approve of censorship to suit the vanity of the President. Right? RIGHT?!

This quote continues to rattle me to my core: "So what you’re telling us is you need less evidence to kill somebody than you do to hold them." That's Rep Adam Smith to Pentagon officials in a briefing on Trump's illegal boat bombings. As he told me in this piece, they didn't answer his objection:

The 1991 series was a walk off and one of the best all time, but this one might just eclipse the Twins and Braves. The big difference is that there are too many streaming options now and that makes it harder to get eyes and ears on a MLB game.

None of this is legal or constitutional. But Johnson is too busy cutting SNAP benefits, so he can't do his job as Speaker.

So AI investment is all about corporate FOMO, the dreams of human-free productivity, and a huge amount of money waiting to be invested. Did I get this right? What am I missing?

Increasingly, companies are turning to the “private credit” market, now valued around $2 trillion. The president of the Yale Budget Lab argues that these firms are making risky loans — so risky, they’ve got her thinking about a past financial crisis.

Let's recall that the President simulated dropping sewage on protestors and hasn't been held accountable by Congress. This double standard is increasingly problematic.

We deserve a government that works for the people. Families aren't getting paid. Services are stalled. And Republicans like Matt Van Epps and his friends in D.C. don't care if you have healthcare. I'm going to DC to fight for you. #FlipTN07 #Aftyn4Congress

You know, you've got to hand it to the Republicans. They're giving us a very clear case example of why Critical Race Theory is 100% accurate about our legal and justice system.
