@warren.senate.gov: "State attorneys general have the same opportunity to investigate, dig in, get what the facts are. So for example, Letitia James, the NY attorney general, which has jurisdiction over the stock market and the trading that happens in NY, might decide she would take a look at this."

The right for autistic people with intellectual disabilities (and other disabled people) to live outside of institutions was only granted by the US Supreme Court in 1999.
Perioidic reminder that the reason you didn't see autistic people with intellectual disabilities on the street five decades ago was not because they didn't exist. It's because they were sent away to institutions and their parents were told to put away pictures of them.

I joined @jenrubin.bsky.social for The Contrarian to discuss a Supreme Court ruling affirming due process for immigrants. Yet the admin still won’t return Mr. Garcia—wrongly deported & jailed. Will the courts say: bring him home?

Trump has leverage and they can get them back if they want to. If they don’t, the judge should put several people, responsible, including Holman, Rubio, and the agents who took him to El Salvador in prison pending appeal.
Very worried that once this order is issued, Bukele will just say no; and do it in a snarky public way on X where he mocks the U.S. judiciary.

Years before Hitler invaded the USSR, Nazi agents planted fake disloyalty rumors about Stalin’s top generals on Vienna phone lines they knew Soviets had tapped. They convinced Stalin to purge & shoot his own best generals before the outbreak of war. Imagine Putin’s FSB planting gossip today…🤔
New on MSNBC: Pete Hegseth is considering firing a slate of military generals and flag officers as early as this week, according to two defense officials and three congressional officials.

The single most clarifying piece of journalism about Russell Brand that I've encountered is this video from @abbierichards.bsky.social. She charts Russell Brand's political evolution through his video content, and shows just how profitable a right wing grift can be. www.youtube.com/watch?v=eo4g...

Who owns this company?
The Trump administration's Department of Energy has handed management of America's strategic petroleum reserve to a "little-known company" after what it calls a "rigorous competitive process." The contract for this company — charitably described as a "lesser-known name" — is worth $1.4 billion.

Public education changes lives — but right now, Donald Trump and Elon Musk are going after your public schools. I asked people to share stories about public school teachers that made a difference in their lives. Today, I read some of those stories on the Senate floor.

Trump has tapped Martin, currently the interim US attorney, to take over permanently if eh can win Senate confirmation. He faces a lot of headwinds, particularly given his vocal activism, advocacy and legal work for Jan. 6 defendants. www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

Two Republican judges on the North Carolina Court of Appeals just effectively overturned Justice Allison Riggs' victory over Jefferson Griffin by retroactively nullifying thousands of lawful votes. A massive and outrageous blow to democracy.
Story to come. The topline: If this holds, this would almost assuredly result in an overturned election, as Griffin trails by 734 votes and many of these contested ballots are disproportionately Democrats over Republicans. #ncpol Full court opinion here--> drive.google.com/file/d/1BnPY...

US attorney Ed Martin did a fundraiser with Oath Keepers who were NOT pardoned for J6. These men are in the process of appealing their convictions, and Martin flew down to Florida (on a work day!) to pal around with them and praise them.

This ICE official sounds a lot like General John DeWitt in February 1942 calling for internment of Japanese Americans: “the very fact that no sabotage has taken place to date is a disturbing and confirming indication that such action will be taken.” www.nps.gov/articles/his...
I keep coming back to the insanity of this statement from an ICE official, which would sound like something out of 1984 except lacks Orwell's sense of irony and self-awareness www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

The ROI for "one-off s*** to keep kids engaged in school" is basically infinite, this is all so dumb.
I just got confirmation that National History Day, a program that does more to ignite K-12 students' love of history, learning, and yes, even the United States than anything else I've ever seen, had all its funding cut yesterday by the DOGE-axe at the NEH - including for this year's ongoing contest.
