I want to thank everyone who posts gift articles of really important stories that all Americans should read but are behind paywalls so most can’t. There are some stories that are so important to the public interest that media companies should remove paywalls on some occasions.

The House will vote next week on one of several extreme anti-voter bills recently introduced in Congress. The so-called SAVE America Act could block over 21 million eligible citizens from voting by forcing in-person citizenship document requirements. Tell your representatives to vote NO.

Stop Anti-Voter Bills Now
The SAVE Act, the SAVE America Act, and MEGA Act could keep millions of eligible U.S. citizens from being able to vote. Urge Congress to reject these bills.

Judge Reyes starts with a comparison: George Washington versus Kristi Noem.
[start quotation] MEMORANDUM OPINION
On December 2, 1783, then-Commander-in-Chief George Washington penned: “America is open to receive not only the Opulent & respected Stranger, but the oppressed & persecuted of
all Nations & Religions.”1
 More than two centuries later, Congress reaffirmed President
Washington’s vision by establishing the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) program. See 8
U.S.C. § 1254a (TPS statute). It provides humanitarian relief to foreign nationals in the United
States who come from disaster-stricken countries. It also brings in substantial revenue, with TPS
holders generating $5.2 billion in taxes annually. See Part VI.
Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem has a different take."[end quotation]
 
Underneath is a screenshot of a tweet, which reads: " Secretary Kristi Noem
@Sec_Noem
I just met with the President.
I am recommending a full travel ban on every damn country that's been flooding our nation with killers, leeches, and entitlement junkies.
Our forefathers built this nation on blood, sweat, and the unyielding love of freedom-not for foreign invaders to slaughter our heroes, suck dry our hard-earned tax dollars, or snatch the benefits owed to AMERICANS.
WE DON'T WANT THEM. NOT ONE.

I know you've heard that a federal judge ordered the release of 5 year old Liam Conejo Arias and his father, and that they're now home. But did you look at the judge's order? It's less than 2.5 pages and well worth a minute. "Jesus wept." Link to pdf: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

As far as I know, Tom Suozzi here still does not have a primary challenger in his district (NY-3 on Long Island). The filing deadline is April 6 for the primary on June 23, and if there's a remotely progressive town council member or PTA president in that district, this is the time to make a move.

McCarthy - awful choice and at best a lateral move (but probably a downgrade mentor and leadership-wise). 17 seasons with GB, 1 w/ Dallas, 174-112-2 reg, 11-11 playoff record and 1 SB. How is that any different/better than Tomlin w/ his 1 SB and 193-114-2? McCarthy is old, won’t bring innovation.

Disagree. I believe they did ok in spite of him, not because of him. But that “highest level in years” still wasn’t good enough. Aaron being less mobile meant he had to rely on his quick release to make the plays he could. The only coach I’d keep is Danny Smith.

The message from the White House this morning is that, once again, it falls on ordinary American citizens to remain calm and professional when dealing with the heavily armed agents of the government because they are very emotional and might fly off into a murderous rage at the slightest insult.
