The US Administration is not engaged in a 'crackdown', which means strict punishment of people who break laws. It is engaged in a vast and universal program of immigrant exclusion, regardless of legal status, skill, and economic contribution.

A new rule ending the automatic extension of work authorization could lead employers to remove workers from payroll. Attorney Jon Wasden: “The next step is massive delays in adjudication times. This will force people out of work as they wait for an EAD.” @mclem.org www.forbes.com/sites/stuart...

No-Empathy was at it again on Thursday With the Epstein distractions, the story missed the coverage it was due The AP didn’t run it until Yesterday (Friday) It may have been posted, but blocking a State Rep from attending an event where he represents constituents, is worthy of resurfacing

The Senate Intelligence Committee Led by Chairman Marco Rubio Found that Russia was working to get Trump elected in 2016 And that there were numerous links between Russia and Donald Trump’s campaign As Democrats on the committee correctly noted at the time “This is what collusion looks like”

As Trump DNI Tulsi Gabbard tries to distract from his Epstein cover-up by accusing Obama of “treason” over Russiagate (which was never a hoax), maybe some outlets could mention her disturbing ties to Russia, who called her “our girlfriend” on state TV? www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Seriously, holy hell. Virtually every mainstream outlet has flubbed this limited hangout.

Why is Trump asking for grand jury testimony? 1. Because he knows it’s unlikely to be released and then he can blame the judge 2. Because that testimony is restricted to charges against Epstein and Maxwell and is unlikely to name clients 3. Because it generates delay and confusion.

Meet one of the most powerful philanthropists in the world…Mackenzie Scott, Jeff Bezos ex-wife. Now I understand why she divorced him. She helped him build Amazon and she’s had no plastic surgery.

Today's Planned Parenthood decision was a devasting blow to women, and it wasn't even about abortion. It was a devasting blow to civil rights, and it wasn't even about Civil Rights. It's one of the worst decisions from this SCOTUS, worse than you probably think. www.thenation.com/article/soci...

thenation.comThe Supreme Court Has Dealt Another Devastating Blow to WomenThe court's ruling in Medina v. Planned Parenthood twists logic, common sense, and the law to further the right-wing assault on bodily autonomy.

Under grilling by Jon Ossoff, Russ Vought repeatedly refuses to admit that it was a mistake to fire the federal employees who oversaw the safety of the nuclear stockpile (a mistake the administration acknowledged when they had to scramble to hire them back)

Parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough advised that including key provisions in the GOP’s mega bill would expose it to a fatal Democratic filibuster. Majority Leader John Thune confirmed the Senate would not overrule its parliamentarian, saying it "would not be a good option for getting a bill done.”

Watch this. Because this is the way: Local officials using their platform right, reaching out to the community. Ambrocio “Enrique” Lozano, affectionately known as “the popsicle man,” was reportedly abducted in broad daylight in Culver City. Masked man. White van. Cart left behind in the street.

A lot of PS employees will be delighted to see this. There is indeed 'analysis paralysis' at the senior levels and a high degree of inertia. Getting rid of the churn and focusing on outcomes would be a welcome change.
