Following the breadcrumbs of how justice is achieved for one person . . . hopefully. Joyce Vance @ Civil Discourse Deporting an Innocent Man There is a case I want to write to you about tonight, a case that was decided last week but has gotten lost in the press of so much news on […]
Trump called fallen American soldiers “suckers” and “losers.” Presumably because they didn’t find a podiatrist who could claim they had “bone spurs.” Now the Trump Administration is punishing living veterans for their service. In the latest episode: “The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs said Thursday that it will end a mortgage-rescue program designed to help […]
Or so they say . . . “an error.” I am sure Trump could get Garcia back from El Salvador. He always brags about being able to do this or that. After all, he is the president. The problem here is Trump has issues with people of different cultures. So any rescue by Trump is […]
It sure looks like this is the plan according to Americans for Tax Fairness. If one of the expiring provisions–lower individual tax rates – were instead extended, Trump could have an extra and ~ $2.7 million in his pocket over 10 years. And that is a modest estimate by the Tax Fairness Group. An extension […]
Well, the topic in the latest Common Dreams flies under the descriptor title. “Trump DOJ Turns to Supreme Court to Lift Ban on El Salvador Deportation Scheme.” So what else is new with the Trump administration?

Consumer Research is a leader in the right-wing anti-ESG campaign against “woke capitalism,” spending millions of dollars to publicly shame Fortune 500 CEOs and pressure firms against taking a stand on social justice and political issues. It received millions since 2019 from DonorsTrust, a dark money organization closely tied to Leonard Leo’s dark money network. Once again […]
Both Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) and Democratic Sen. Patty Murray (WA) wrote a letter protesting a key decision made by Office of Management and Budget Director Russ Vought about the continuing resolution passed to avert a government shutdown on March 14. The issue? The partial distribution of emergency funding as determined by Trump after it […]
Pete Hegseth was a DEI hire. GOP affirmative action to insure that incompetent alcoholics aren’t discriminated against. Here’s Mike Brock (paywalled, so no link) on the colossal blunder that is Pete Hegseth: “The core argument against DEI initiatives has always been straightforward: institutions should hire based on merit alone, without regard for demographic considerations. That […]
More of a detailed explanation on the “Federal Communications Commission v. Consumers’ Research” now before SCOTUS. It appears two justices could join the three justices who are in the minority much of the time. The topic before the court is “nondelegation.” and the limitational of authority by Congress to delegate power to federal agencies. “Kavanaugh […]
