cato institute analysis of murders by political ideology since 1975, excluding 9/11

I wrote about some details that the Trump administration might not want to come to light when it comes to what kind of deal Trump has truck with Bukele asharangappa.substack.com/p/whats-the-...

Really crucial analysis of the Trump-Bukele prison deal. Seems like there’s a lot of dangerous corruption lurking just under the surface.

This is blatant racism. DOJ dismissed a case re: a Black woman who worked for the Mississippi Senate & was paid less than half of what the Senate paid her White colleagues doing the same job. They've dismissed other cases involving discrimination against Black people. www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

The last day on which a majority of the Supreme Court’s justices had been appointed by Democratic presidents was May 14, 1969. One of the things we do in the legal academy is support our claims with facts.

Another terrific story explaining how the Trump administration and so-called DOGE's cuts to funding for local fair housing agencies is hurting seniors and people with disabilities during the nation's fair and affordable housing crisis. www.npr.org/2025/03/15/n...

Good News! We are expanding access to housing for persons with disabilities in the South! Our fair housing work matters! We are fighting for you, your families, and your community!

Major Update: In response to a suit filed earlier today by Democracy Forward on behalf of Ward Brehm, President of USADF, a District Court ruled to temporarily block Musk’s so-called “DOGE's” attempt to access USADF & remove Brehm as President. Full statement: democracyforward.org/updates/usad...

Ezra Klein explains Trump's first two weeks.

It’s alarming that Elon Musk has access to government payment systems used to deliver Social Security and Medicare benefits.    He also drove out the senior career official at Treasury responsible for preventing a potential default on U.S. debt.   Congress must investigate.

🚨 Ask Congress to urge the Administration to continue to process & issue payments to non-profit fair housing agencies w/ current signed grant agreements serving people facing discrimination-seniors, people with disabilities, families with children, and others facing dire situations. bit.ly/4hjkqPX

This is a disgrace. Trump's efforts to dismantle the nation's vision for fair housing, while also attempting to dismantle the federal government. Read NFHA's statement by @itslisarice.bsky.social and the NYT piece.

We really cannot thank Federal Housing Finance Agency Director Sandra L. Thompson enough for the outstanding job she did leading FHFA. She provided us all with an outstanding example of what true and excellent public service means. Congratulations, Sandra! Well done!!! We are all so proud of you.

A survey of of Palestine-Israel coverage by four Sunday morning news shows reveals a startling statistic: With the exception of one interview, thesw shows went 12 months without speaking to a single Palestinian or Palestinian American.

NEW: North Carolina Republicans have overturned a veto from Gov. Roy Cooper (D) on SB 382. The power-grab law strips power from incoming Democratic state officials, shortens the timeline to cure ballots and more.
