Trump just opened up a procedural avenue for Dems to force votes on the tariffs he announced yesterday. A quick explainer-

“… they’re the biggest ever…”

If one question tonight was: is the Florida result gonna make GOP officials sweat what's happening at the polls... the answer is clearly yes, regardless of Fine's victory.

Strom Thurmond made his Senate record while fighting against Black voting rights. It stood for 67 years. A Black man is about to break it.

We've heard concerning things about the Social Security Administration lately, so I decided to check for myself. SSA says Wednesday is the best day to call, so I called then. Their system told me there would be a two-hour wait time, told me to call back, and then just hung up.

We will not blindly follow illegal orders because Donald Trump wrote them down on a piece of paper. Illinois follows the laws of the land – not the decrees of an aspiring king hell bent on disenfranchising millions of voters who deserve to have their voice heard.

Paul Weiss is merely rearranging the proverbial deck chairs on the Titanic. With this administration, there will be no legitimate legal system and no need for actual lawyers. The failure to recognize that will lead to the demise of the legal profession in its entirety. Fight back while you can.

Jackson asks how it would make "any sense" that the president could remove the appointed whistleblower in charge of protecting other whistleblowers. At-will removal would chill all whistleblowing

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage.

Sketchy details but there appears to have been a plane crash in DC. DCA is closed and getting reports of emergency responce in the city.

Masks and hand sanitizer aren't enough to protect you from this virus.

SCOTUSblog joined Bluesky just a few days before founder Tom Goldstein published his "under the Constitution Trump is above the law" op-ed in The New York Times, and now the replies to anything they post, no matter how anodyne, are just people cooking Tom for being a deeply wrong bootlicker

Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn’t Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, or Alice in Chains.

Anyone aware of a starter pack for journalists and public officials for the DMV?

Read "All Systems Red" for my book club. A fast-paced short book that manages to get a lot done in a short number of pages. Enjoyed it! Not sure if I enjoyed it enough to read the next book though.
