I can't say it any clearer than this: I don't care what opinions, positions, or politics are held or expressed by people illegally seized, detained, or removed from this country. I DO NOT CARE. They're in this country. The Constitution applies to ALL of them as much as it applies to me. Period.

Hi, sending people to El Salvador, if they're not from El Salvador, is not deportation. It's human trafficking, and this entire regime is complicit in crimes against humanity. I hope I live long enough to see them all stand trial with the whole world arrayed against them.

I 0% believe this specifically because everyone was told to destroy their documents at the same time on the same day with very little notice. I wasn't a fed long enough to encounter this procedure but I sure picked up enough to know that "destroy these documents NOW NOW NOW" is not SOP.

Aside from the obvious direct harm, what's so irritating is that a handful of spoiled ignorant assholes are breaking things that we all built together. They weren't content to own almost everything, they had to wreck what little they didn't own. It's vandalism on a mass scale and has to be punished

The goal is to terrorize federal workers into quitting. That’s it. Constant changes. Canceling work from home then closing offices. Laying off probationary employees. It’s designed to break the government. Then privatize it for profit. It’s not efficiency. It’s collapse. Only peasants will suffer.

Medicaid and related programs provide health insurance for nearly 80 million adults and children, but potential cuts outlined would leave millions with less money to pay for food and housing while boosting incomes for the extremely wealthy by 3.9%.

A huge decision from Judge Amir Ali, meticulously reasoned and utterly scathing, finding that Trump’s foreign aid freeze is almost certainly an illegal and arbitrary abuse of power. He orders the immediate restoration of all international assistance. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

Consistent with the reasoning above, it is hereby ORDERED that Defendants Marco
Rubio, Peter Marocco, Russell Vought, the U.S. Department of State, the U.S. Agency for
International Development, and the Office of Management and Budget (the "Restrained
Defendants") and their agents are temporarily enjoined from enforcing or giving effect to Sections
1, 5, 7, 8, and 9 of Dep't of State, Memorandum, 25 STATE 6828 (Jan. 24, 2025) and any other
directives that implement Sections 3(a) and 3(c) of Executive Order Number 14169, "Reevaluating
and Realigning United States Foreign Aid" (Jan. 20, 2025), including by:
• suspending, pausing, or otherwise preventing the obligation or disbursement appropriated foreign-assistance funds in connection with any contracts, grants, cooperative
agreements, loans, or other federal foreign assistance award that was in existence as of
January 19, 2025; or
• issuing, implementing, enforcing, or otherwise giving effect to terminations, suspensions, or stop-work orders in connection with any contracts, grants, cooperative agreements, loans, or other federal foreign assistance award that was in existence as of January 19, 2025.

It is further hereby ORDERED that nothing in this order shall prohibit the Restrained
Defendants from enforcing the terms of contracts or grants.
It is further hereby ORDERED that the Restrained Defendants shall take all steps necessary to effectuate this order and shall provide written notice of this order to all recipients of
existing contracts, grants, and cooperative agreements for foreign assistance.
It is further hereby ORDERED that the Restrained Defendants shall file a status report by
February 18, 2025, apprising the Court of the status of their compliance with this order, including by providing a copy of the written notice described above.
The parties shall meet and confer and file a joint status report by February 14, 2025, at 5:00
p.m. proposing an expedited preliminary injunction briefing schedule.
AMIR H. ALI
United States District Judge

Underneath all the shifting feelings—dread, hope, righteous anger—I'm just so sad about the way our country is being dismantled and ransacked every day. It's not because I've ever felt patriotic or thought America was particularly awesome. It's just because evil shouldn't exist in the world.

This is how it’s done. Dr. Jack Turban is resigning after the NCAA announced it is banning transgender athletes from women’s sports.

A resignation letter from UCSF's Jack L. Turban, MD MHS, to NCAA President Charles D. Baker, dated February 6, 2025. Turban resigns from the CSMAS committee, disagreeing with the NCAA's decision to ban trans women from women's sports, citing lack of medical/scientific consensus and political motivation. He thanks the committee for their work but criticizes the decision's basis.

In case you don't know this already, tariffs are just consumer taxes. They don't do shit except impede international cooperation and punish consumers. In theory they can be used to give domestic manufacturing an advantage, but that's not what's happening here, plus the retaliation will negate that.
