Justice KBJ is a brilliant strategist. She is working the rules to compel timely review of the stay in the SNAP case by both the Circuit Court and by the Supreme Court. This is why knowing which SCOTUS justice has supervision of the Circuit you file in is essential.

Khanna: "We have to understand how abnormal this is. You don't mock someone and put a video out about how they look. You don't ever mock people's ethnicity. How do you negotiate with that? And how have we made this normal?"

Kamala Harris: "It feels chaotic, but what I would offer you is what we are witnessing is the swift implementation of a plan that was decades in the making. Project 2025 didn't just drop out of thin air. That's a product of decades of work. Federalist Society, Heritage Foundation ... "

Okay, so what I've seen so far isn't generally rejoicing over Kirk's death, more a refusal to grieve and widespread dread at what the Right will do with this latest trigger.

Johnson Drops Bombshell About What Trump Really Knew About Epstein The House Speaker is suddenly claiming Donald Trump was an β€œFBI informant.”

I have represented FBI informants, as well as agents. This is real easy to prove because Trump's name would be in 302 and other reports. There are document policies that apply to informants.

So, Donald, waive your privacy and RELEASE the files! Really simple.

Illinois is launching a first-of-its-kind legal hotline for LGBTQ+ individuals β€” Illinois Pride Connect.

As the only state in the nation that will provide free legal advice to protect the LGBTQ+ community, we'll help fight ignorance with information and cruelty with compassion.

The Radical Woman Behind β€œGoodnight Moon” Margaret Wise Brown constantly pushed boundariesβ€”in her life and in her art.

Many readers now think of Margaret Wise Brown titles like β€œThe Runaway Bunny” as tranquil introductions to storytelling. But the books, like their author, were radical for their time.

The Invention of β€œSesame Street” Renata Adler’s 1972 review of the program that revolutionized children’s television.

β€œSmall children from poor or middle-class families who watch β€˜Sesame Street’ do better on cognitive tests and in first grade than children who do not watch it,” Renata Adler wrote, in 1972.

CBS Evening News goes with "a unicorn of a situation" (rather than, I dunno, "fascist authoritarianism,") to describe Trump's deployment of National Guard troops to DC.

The most infuriating part of this is that all these reporters & anchors absolutely know better.

Parts of the Constitution were erased from the Library of Congress website, including the section featuring the foreign emoluments clause.

The removal was blamed on a "coding error."

Here's a reminder of what the clause says, just in case Congress ever decides to enforce it...

This is moving.

Kamala Harris feels the pain we feel. Not just from her loss, but from the trauma and abuse our country is living through.

What could have been…

It's become clear that this administration is just a protracted war on anybody who's read a book without pictures in it. It's a miracle we're all still getting up and going to work every morning. The psychological drain is the point, and I'm increasingly grateful to the people who are still decent.

McGovern: "A family making less than $50,000 a year? They get less than $1 a day in tax cuts. You can't buy a damn cup of coffee with that. But those making a million dollars or more? They'll get more than $250 a day in tax breaks ... that's how rigged this bill is to benefit the wealthy."
