Roberts went to a judicial conference in Hershey, Pennsylvania today and complained that the public wrongly sees Supreme Court justices as “political actors.” He said people mistakenly think the court makes policy decisions rather than legal ones.

Of course. Senate Republicans released a budget blueprint that would clear the way for a filibuster-proof bill to provide up to $70 billion for ICE and Border Patrol bypassing Democrats who have refused to fund the agencies without immigration enforcement restrictions. #DefundICE

Tonight is a full boycott of the State of the Union. If there’s one thing Trump can’t stand, it’s low ratings 😉 MoveOn and MeidasTouch announced they’ll host a “People’s State of the Union” rally at 8:30 p.m. ET near the Capitol on the National Mall.

The Trump administration continues on its path to destroying everything. Its latest decision approves a highway corridor running through Utah’s Red Cliffs National Conservation Area after the Bureau of Land Management reversed a 2024 ruling that had denied the route.

This didn’t start as some big corporate policy. It started with individual Hilton franchisees making a choice. A Hampton Inn in Lakeville, Minnesota refused to host ICE agents. That decision came from the people running the hotel, not from protests or outside pressure.

If Hilton is going to punish franchisees for doing the right thing, then Hilton deserves a boycott. We’ve seen what collective action can do, Tesla’s declining sales are proof. The same pressure can work here too.

No single person, especially someone with zero expertise, should be able to just change the CDC website on a whim. The fact that federal health and science pages are no longer trustable is a catastrophe for public health and democracy.

Trump claims Canada’s Ronald Reagan ad attacking tariffs is “fake.” The ad used an edited 1987 speech by Ronald Reagan, in which he said, among other things: “High tariffs inevitably lead to retaliation by foreign countries and the triggering of fierce trade wars.”
