BREAKING: The U.S. Supreme Court allows Trump's anti-transgender military ban to go into effect while litigation proceeds. The stay of the district court's injunction was issued with no reasoning and over the objections of Justices Sotomayor, Kagan, and Jackson. More to come: www.lawdork.com

"For years, [the Bureau of Justice Statistics]'s [Prison Rape Elimination Act] studies have been the gold standard for research into sexual abuse in detention ... [T]hat entire body of research is being undermined, simply because the government hates trans people."

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government. No one has heard from you in 43 days. As vigil, I’m posting a photo of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

HAPPENING NOW: Senator Cory Booker and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries are holding a sit-in on the steps of the US Capitol to protest the Trump administration’s cuts to essential programs. They are encouraging anyone to join them so if you are in the DC area head over there NOW!!!

This is a very good point. About a very feeble excuse.

Current mood.

AOC: How can anyone possibly make an objective vote on healthcare, energy, or war when their personal wealth is tied up in pharmaceutical, oil and gas, or defense company stock?

Tariffs? Out of control. Prices? Skyrocketing. Emergency powers? He’s abusing them. And yet… not a single question about whether he’s even fit to serve. The math ain’t mathing.
