A win! A federal judge in MA blocked the Trump administration’s $100,000 H-1B petition fee, ruling that the administration cannot impose what amounts to a new tax without authorization from Congress.

“It seems sad that we should have to shame and embarrass a company that says it cares about the community into stopping doing something that’s really bad for human rights. But that is the situation we’re in."

Today marks 100 days since Donald Trump launched his "skirmish" in Iran. As my friend Bernie Sanders warned a decade ago, history reminds us of the unintended consequences that could emerge from a war with Iran. We are dealing with those consequences today.

In Trump's White House, everything is for sale — even the building itself. [@publiccitizen.bsky.social]

The appointment is concerning because the role provides access to highly sensitive information and national security policy discussions.

The FBI says Tom Fitton and Judicial Watch is fake news.

The new law comes two months after the U.S. Supreme Court struck down the state's previous ban on the dangerous and discredited practice.

Do you see the sleight of hand being played here? There wasn't some giant collection of new research that supports banning care for trans teens. The overwhelming majority of research supports care for trans teens. But it's "misinformation" to believe it because the British government said so.

British Jews are facing a sustained rise in antisemitic violence supercharged by social media platforms. After the Heaton Park & Golders Green attacks, we found X allowed antisemitic abuse to spread unchecked on the platform. Ofcom must ensure X's new compliance programme delivers real change.

After a major Supreme Court ruling, state-level voting rights acts and redistricting strategies in Democratic-led states are among the limited ways left for protecting racial-minority voters' power.

There are currently more bills attacking trans youth’s right to play sports across the U.S. than there are trans youth in school sports.

People are known by the company they keep.

That's right. The only reason the Epstein files have not come out is because they incriminate the POS of the United States

Dr. Richard Lokudu, the medical director of Mongbwalu General Referral Hospital, has received barely any compensation for his work on the front line of one of Congo's deadliest Ebola virus outbreaks. https://to.pbs.org/4olEYMc

“Air pollution fell substantially as Paris restricted car traffic and made way for parks, people-streets and bike-lanes.” Better for the climate, better for health, better for livability and quality of life. Common sense. Such a no-brainer, it’s remarkable that more cities HAVEN’T done the same.

And the idiot band just played on while the Titanic went down.
