Remember how in the Llano book banning case, the Fifth Circuit debated whether museums were "government speech." But even they pointed out that even if they "were" govt speech, libraries and museums would contain a multiplicity of viewpoints. We should be very concerned about this.

Trump’s EPA has: -Killed $15 million in research into forever chemicals in farmlands -Attempted to roll back forever chemical limits in drinking water -Delayed rules requiring corporations to report their forever chemical usage How does this “make America healthy again”?

It's true. I do have a new book. Thank you for helping to spread the word!

“CoreCivic has repeatedly shown that it is incapable of running a humane facility. Now, the company flouts city approval to move forward with an ICE center based on false promises.” In filings, the city argued the company previously ran an “absolute hell hole” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

BOYCOTT EL SALVADOR COFFEE:

Trump is forcing Americans who are seeking their earned benefits to sign up for Elon Musk's app. Pure corruption.

The National Retail Federation, the world's largest retail trade assn, backs the Cantwell-Grassley bill to rein in Trump's tariff powers. "The increased tariffs are not sustainable for small businesses.... Many are concerned about their ability to stay in business as a result."

MAGA Republicans are fast-tracking the SAVE Act, requiring a passport or birth certificate with a DL or State ID to register. Names on documents must match exactly. It will block millions of married women who changed their names—and marriage certificates won’t count. #HandsOffHerVote

Fear has a way of being contagious. But courage is also contagious.

The Trump administration is setting up a legal challenge to a crucial 1935 Supreme Court ruling that protects the power of independent agencies. Here's what you need to know.

Welcome to Idiocracy.

It was -1,155 seven minutes ago, and has dropped 114 points more since then.

After getting some rest, I am in awe of everyone who continues to lift their voice and speak out. This is a moment for our country, and we must make a choice about the America we want to be.

100 billionaire families spent $2.6 billion in the 2024 election. 70% of these donations went to Republicans. Now, Republicans in Congress are gearing up to slash essential programs to pay for another round of tax cuts for the rich. This is what oligarchy looks like.

Worth repeating.

You have to see this. PoliticsGirl and her husband teamed up with the brilliant Timothy Snyder (author of On Tyranny) and the legendary John Lithgow to create something truly powerful. It’s important, it’s urgent—and it needs to be shared far and wide.

Delaware Democrats just caved to corporations and billionaire CEOs. SB 21, ghostwritten by Tesla and Meta lawyers, makes it harder to hold corporations accountable for a range of misconduct. As billionaires destroys the federal government, why are state Dems playing along?
