Thousands of immigrant children on verge of losing legal representation

A federal contract that provides attorneys for vulnerable undocumented minors is set to expire Friday. Advocates fear children will be left to defend themselves in court alone.

I questioned Anthony Fauci under oath during COVID. I asked questions. He answered them. That's what congressional oversight is supposed to look like. What Republicans did to him this week wasn't oversight. It was a humiliation ritual. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

See, it's funny because it's true. #Sad

All the Fauci stuff is a modern day version of the POW/MIA stuff after Vietnam - a way to try to rewrite the history of a huge failure of conservative ideology to be instead a story about how liberals and foreigners stabbed us in the back.

Days ago I learned of an online dictionary with quotations from Marshall McLuhan themmm.marshallmcluhan.com As a test I put my favorite McLuhan quote into the machine and got a perfect result. Don't know who Marshall McLuhan was? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marshal... Search term was "house on fire"

Unconscious Mitch McConnell Scores Higher Approval Rating Than Conscious Version

Voters pointed to progress on guns, the environment, and a host of other issues that could have been achieved if only McConnell had not been sentient.

Rep. Yassamin Ansari is calling Barron Trump to testify before Congress about his ties to Andrew and Tristan Tate — now jailed on sex trafficking charges. "He is a full-blown adult," she said. "And he is very influential in the Trump White House orbit."

Why does it matter if he is dead before August 3rd? Kentuckians deserve the truth. #republicancheaters #followthelaw

Our city can enforce its laws without putting our neighbors, who are just trying to make a buck, in harm's way. I need the public to ask their alders what they're doing to ensure that street vendors are supported. #welcomingcity #chicago

I’m headed to the Senate Floor to ask my colleagues if we can all agree on this simple truth: climate change portends a cascade of financial market collapses that would destabilize the national and global economies.

I miss knowing there's an Anthony Fauci in charge of health. A Hillary Clinton or Antony Blinken handling things internationally. A Pete doing things for transportation. A Lloyd Austin handling defense. A Haaland protecting our lands. I miss knowing adults are in the room. Or at least non-traitors.

This administration is hell-bent on hurting as many people as they see fit and beyond. If you're a local government person you don't have to just post about how that sucks and throw your hands up. You can do things that help people!

This exemplifies what would be a profound benefit of term limits (Tillis is not running for re-election). If, for example, each senator could only serve 1 term (say 8 years), we perhaps would see a lot more of this 'courage'.

wow -- Tillis eviscerates Vought about DOGE's fake budget cuts & tells him, "My understanding is the last time you worked in the business world was at B Dalton's books when you were putting yourself through law school...I don't love the idea of DOGE shit we're picking up because people did it wrong"

I have a piece in the NYT today arguing that the law should permit victims of ICE abuse to sue not just individual officers, but supervisors and policymakers like Stephen Miller and Gregory Bovino. A Democratic president and Congress could do this in 2029. And they could make it retroactive.

Mitch McConnell released a hospital photo and update about his health on Sunday, following calls for transparency from both Democrats and Republicans.

I now support term limits for Congress. I have long opposed them because I believed voters should decide who is right for the role without arbitrary constraints. However, the rules in the House and Senate stifle the emergence of new leaders and concentrate power. It is past time to end cronyism.

"No other country does birthright citizenship," Trump told reporters and the public yesterday. Not a single reporter told him he was wrong – that 32 other countries have it – even though all of the reporters knew that, or they should be fired for not knowing it.

Yup

Eddie Glaude doesn’t just criticize Stephen Miller. He argues the immigration agenda is rooted in white nationalism. “We have to name the devil that has us by the throat. Stephen Miller is a racist. He’s a white nationalist. White nationalists have seized the federal government.” 💯 #SheShed
