Seeing a lot of liberal arts majors and pundits who are suddenly constitutional law experts opine on the legality of the next steps in Missouri congressional elections. My advice is to ignore them and maybe pay attention to what the lawyers who actually litigate redistricting cases have to say.

The ICE raids and cruelty we are seeing inflicted on children are unacceptable.

The federal government has stripped legal representation from hundreds of thousands of unaccompanied children. Many will soon face an impossible choice: navigate our immigration system alone or risk detention and deportation.

Our city is stepping up. We've invested $16.9 million in immigration legal services for unaccompanied children, with another $32 million in this year's immigration legal services budget, including rapid-response legal advice and representation for people in detention.

If you need immigration legal support, we're here to help. Our free, confidential Immigration Legal Support Hotline is available in your preferred language, regardless of immigration status.

Brilliant protest. Yosemite National Park workers hung an upside-down American flag — traditionally a symbol of distress or a national threat — thousands of feet off the ground on the side of El Capitan.
An upside-down American flag hangs from El Capitan near Yosemite National Park’s Horsetail Fall on Saturday to protest the thousands of federal job cuts made by President Donald Trump’s administration.

A cousin I was very close to died of leukemia in the 1980s. It was too late for her, but medical research eventually led to good treatments & cures for childhood leukemia. Yet her MAGA parents, who are still alive, & siblings cheer the Felon’s elimination of funds for medical research. Insane. Sick.

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it. Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice. But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word. They aren’t firing for a reason.
