One insurance denial for Teressa’s husband stated, “your newborn does not meet the criteria for coverage.” “This is when I really start to think they’re just denying,” she recalled. “They’re not even looking. They’re just ‘deny, deny, deny.’” (Published Sept. 2025)

Nearly twice as old as the dinosaurs, horseshoe crabs have been crawling ashore for over 450 million years. Sadly, their populations have plummeted by more than 70% in recent decades. So we just announced our intent to sue the federal government for denying them #ESA protections. bit.ly/41quLDj

ICE is being deployed to airports today as the GOP refuses to fund TSA. Here's border czar Tom Homan: "There's a lot of things that TSA does it doesn't require like specialized training, right? ...  ICE can check identification before people enter the screening area."

Given events in the past 24 hours, it might have been helpful for the United States to be able to speak to Iranians in Farsi, their official language. But the incompetent children at Doge dismantled Voice of America, cutting off that communication and ultimately not saving the US a penny.

Donald Trump was *humiliated* yesterday. Make no mistake, a man with such a brittle ego will lash out at innocent people to pretend he controls the narrative. He doesn't. We do.

We won’t amplify it, but the president posting that Dems are “sick of mind” and “hate our country” immediately after 2 Dem lawmakers and their spouses were shot in their homes is the opposite of leadership. Gas on the fire.

This should be a national debate, not an executive power grab. 📌 The Posse Comitatus Act prevents the president from using the military as a domestic police force.

Banks are aiming to issue cryptocurrency. Lawmakers just put a line in the GENIUS Act saying when a bank issuing crypto goes bankrupt, crypto investors get paid before regular depositors. In other words: your savings account becomes crypto’s bailout fund. www.levernews.com/cryptos-new-...

Around the time that Kilmar Abrego Garcia was indicted in the Middle District of Tennessee, the chief of the criminal division in that district posted this on LinkedIn: “Earlier today, after nearly 15 years as an Assistant United States Attorney, I resigned…”

BREAKING: Chief Judge James Boasberg finds that those people sent to CECOT under the Alien Enemies Act on March 15-16 had their due process rights violates and certifies them as a class. He orders that the government "facilitate" the ability for them to seek habeas relief.

I can’t speak for anyone else, but this analogy of “Lady Liberty’ held captive, is exactly how I feel about this presidency & administration and what their attempting to do with our rights and freedoms… The New Yorker captured the feelings perfectly… One word, UNACCEPTABLE!

Lee Jae-myung, the South Korean politician who climbed the fence of the parliament to get inside and vote against martial law, has been elected president. Pretty cooool

I think we’ve reached a boiling point when it comes to ICE. Today in Minneapolis, a militarized task force raided the beloved Lake Street taqueria, Las Cuatro Milpas—and the community was not having it. Agents from ICE, the DEA, FBI, ATF, IRS and HHS rolled up looking like they were ready for war.

I put much work into this. DOJ is trying to block courts' access to info in #AbregoGarcia and Alien Enemies Act cases by asserting it is a "state secret." I walk through the clear case law on this topic. I provide a Table of senior officials' statements that preclude the state secret privilege.

One of the most significant cases with far-reaching effects, which I've previously flagged to watch. On motion to dismiss, Judge Chutkan finds for plaintiffs on both counts: -Musk's position is in violation of Appointments Clause -DOGE Executive Order is without statutory or constitutional basis

Indeed, and notice a pattern: Judge Xinis May 27: DOJ "expended no effort in demonstrating good cause. ... These self-described burdens are of their own making." Judge Murphy May 26: DOJ "have mischaracterized this Court’s order, while at the same time manufacturing the very chaos they decry."

Ordered to file the response to the Abrego Garcia complaint today, after Judge denies their last-minute motion for extension ) DOJ files a same-old same-old response.

In what is shaping up to be a huge day for democracy in the lower federal courts, at least, Judge Chutkan rules that the case against DOGE can proceed.

One in four workers in the US is now “functionally unemployed,” meaning they either want but can’t find full-time work or are stuck in poverty-paycheck jobs. A higher minimum wage alone can't solve this because it would increase automation and decrease hours. We need a universal basic income floor.
