In two years we've gone from a standard where the President's budget proposal was a set of suggestions Congress would ignore to where Congressional appropriations are now a set of suggestions the President ignores.

Texas lost at least 14,200 immigrant students last year

The actual enrollment loss amid increased deportation efforts is much higher as the federal definition that identifies immigrant students is limited, experts said.

My lukewarm takes on the permitting bill draft: - It'd accelerate dirty energy and clean energy. - Anyone who claims to know how much it'd accelerate dirty vs. clean is lying to you and/or themself. - Most important consideration is how it'd affect Dems' odds of kicking fascists to the curb.

Why has the GOP been so procedurally extreme for so long? Because Republicans radicalized themselves against the government they were working within. There was a real logic to it, quite apart from the awful substantive vision. Now, Dems are working in a government fully corrupted by Donald Trump...

The oft-leveled accusation that the Trump administration's "anti-antisemitism" campaign is trying to expand the definition of antisemitism is wrong. They are trying to shift the definition so that it is solely about Israel, to shrink it more than to expand it.

There are a lot of debates about when and whether antisemitism accusations are used to shield Israel from criticism. But the Israeli government and its allies increasingly seem to feel that, at least post-1948, *only* criticism of Israel is antisemitism. www.jta.org/2026/09/30/g...
