Who wrote this on p.58 of his autobiography? (Hint: he’s a beardo weirdo.)

“You can walk through a [rural] town where 30 percent of the young men work fewer than twenty hours a week and find not a single person aware of his own laziness.”
Vance: "When people say Americans won't work on farms or in dirty jobs, what they're saying is Americans won't work those jobs for poverty wages, nor should they. When they say we have to bring in accountants, what they're saying is there aren't enough ppl who can do math in the US, which is absurd"

We’re challenging President Trump’s unlawful use of the Alien Enemies Act to deport more than 100 Venezuelan men to a prison notorious for torture in El Salvador — and fighting to hold administration officials accountable for violating a court order.

The Trump administration isn't above the law.
Trump Administration Officials Face Possible Criminal Contempt Charges
ACLU argued today that the Trump administration must be held accountable for defying a judge’s orders not to send 100 Venezuelan men to CECOT.

Q: How do you define socialism personally?

JD VANCE: I think in reality what it actually means in the American context is you want to replace American workers with foreigners workers, and you want boys to play in girls' sports

Ellison nails Schutz after he admits he's never taken a case for a client who didn't align w/ his personal views: "It is the job of the AG to defend laws sometimes you don't agree w/ if those laws are constitutional"

(Note that Schutz then initially stammers about if abortion access is settled law)

Follow-up on a piece Bolts did last month!

Newsom has signed this bill into law — it gives some parents who are formerly incarcerated a stronger chance to reunite with their kids.

Parents separated from their kids helped advocate for the bill's passage, Victoria Valenzuela reports:
California Gives Formerly Incarcerated Parents a Chance to Get Their Kids Back - Bolts
People who lost parental rights helped pass a bill to reform California's law blocking people with past convictions for violent felonies from reuniting with their children.
