“News” of 2 hour phone calls with no further outcomes towards peace process is another distraction away from real news of cutting Medicaid to fund trillion dollar tax cuts for the wealthy, with a sprinkle of AI deregulation further supporting largest personal data breach in history.

As Trump’s attacks on the constitution become increasingly flagrant, will the Supreme Court check his power? "I'm not sure that John Roberts ... given his efforts to advance the Republican Party in numerous ways, will actually stand up [to Trump]," says legal expert @thelisagraves.bsky.social.

The jailing of a Palestinian protester by ICE raises urgent concerns about universities’ role in suppressing pro-Palestine activism. Critics warn that by enabling such crackdowns, institutions risk undermining their own commitment to academic freedom.

The main beneficiaries of the Department of Education are disabled kids (IDEA) and working-class and poor Americans (Title I, Pell Grants, work assistance), so of course Trump wants to do away with it.

A president’s executive order cannot undo a law or a Supreme Court decision, let alone a provision of the Constitution. Forget that and you do have a dictatorship on day one.

For the last week, @kenbensinger.bsky.social and I have been in Altadena, to report on the devastation. But we kept coming back to an Arco gas station, which a group of locals have turned into a beacon of hope with tacos, clothes and community. This is their story: www.nytimes.com/2025/01/15/u...
