This cruelty is being done in our name. Shame on this administration. Shame. 13,000 third country deportees so far. Many were ordered deported decades or even generations earlier, but no admin previously would have considered something as inhumane as this as a means of carrying out a removal.

We’ve got some bad news AND some good news about Dilley detention center and the Trump administration’s ongoing abuse of children there. Please watch, and please share.

Here are federal employee responses, sorted by dept/agency, to the question about whether their organization's political leaders "maintain high standards of integrity." Results are abysmal. In no agency do even 20% of respondents say their top leaders have integrity

So this is how SCOTUS shadow docket analysis works

In advance of the SCOTUS oral arguments for Trump v Barbara, (the birthright citizenship case) on April 1, and for the 14th Amendment's timelessness as one of the great achievements of US democracy, this website is incredible.

The grift continues...

Meta paid an effective fed tax rate of 3.5% on its latest tax bill — its lowest on record. Mark Zuckerberg's net worth just hit $222 billion. And Meta is pumping $65 million into elections this year to boost AI friendly candidates. Now it's reportedly planning to lay off 15,000 workers. Hello?

The difference between them and me is that I think safeguarding the integrity of elections means protecting and expanding voting rights, whereas they think it means oppressing voting rights.

I posted this video on X, and Nate Cavanaugh’s account “liked” it. (Before anyone asks: Yes, it’s his actual account—I checked.)

A lot going on here. The disqualified would-be US Atty for DNJ, Alina Habba, is now a senior advisor to Bondi overseeing US Attys, & she's been seen back in the NJ office, ticking off this judge. Maybe other issues, too, tho. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/17/n...
