The Trump DOJ argues in this case of mistaken deportation is that the *only* claim anyone can bring seeking the wrongfully deported person’s return from the black pit of a Salvadoran prison is a habeas petition that the court has no jurisdiction to hear. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Someone explain to me why it's illegal to give an old lady a bottle of water as she's waiting on line for hours in the sun to vote, but it's totally cool for an ultra-billionaire to bribe voters with million dollar checks in Wisconsin.

The US Naval Academy plans to remove books from its library, including “The Autobiography of Martin Luther King Jr." and a biography on Jackie Robinson to comply with anti-DEI orders. No university library should be forced to remove books because a politician doesn't like them.

Trump promised to end the war in Ukraine in a day, lower grocery costs, and protect Social Security. Maybe he should try focusing on his current term before making nonsensical statements about a third one.

I learned this week that you can put our troops' lives in danger, compromise our national security, and violate the Espionage Act. And the government will do nothing. But if you write an editorial for your school newspaper that Trump doesn't like, you will be abducted on the street and disappeared.

The CDC Buried a Measles Forecast That Stressed the Need for Vaccinations
The move — along with the CDC’s explanation — is a sign that the nation’s top public health agency may be falling in line under HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a longtime critic of vaccines.
