'Homegrowns are next': Trump hopes to deport and jail U.S. citizens abroad
Bier, of the Cato Institute, said he has been "shocked" by the lack of pushback against Trump's proposal from Republican leaders and members of the conservative legal movement.
"It's unthinkable. It's absolutely a reflection of where Donald Trump has taken the Republican Party and the conservative movement," he said.
U.S. Senator Jerry Moran of Kansas is one of seven GOP senators who joined Democrats in signing onto a bipartisan bill aimed at giving Congress oversight of tariffs.
We should reach out to Senators Moran and Marshall to encourage them on this. Trump must be reigned in.

Good to see KC standing up.

Good to see KC standing up.
Where's the fun in that? This way, we get feel-good news articles to keep the masses compliant and thankful for what little they get back from their government. /hj
I really don't understand why so many states and citizens are opposed to this; simply put, if you want students to do well and thus the country to do well, then the scientific literature recommends that you feed the students. Even the Christian take is in unequivocal agreement:
Woe to you who are well fed now, for you will go hungry. -- Luke 6:24-26
“Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.’" -- Matthew 25:41-43
Would seem like a no-brainer to me. 🤷

WICHITA, Kan. (KWCH) - Three federal civil lawsuits filed after the raid on the Marion County Record will proceed. This development follows a federal judge’s decision to reject efforts to fully dismiss the cases on Friday. The lawsuits were brought by Eric Meyer, publisher and editor of the Marion County Record; reporter Phyllis Zorn; and office manager Cheri Bentz.
Good to see that justice is proceeding on this. Silencing the news is not a good plan.

Seventeen states want to end an abortion privacy rule. A federal judge is questioning HIPAA itself.
The decades-old federal law protecting the privacy of individual health information is threatened by multiple lawsuits that seek to throw out a rule restricting disclosure of information in criminal investigations, including for those seeking legal abortion and other reproductive health care.

Your point around trying to keep the school boards on the right side of things is of paramount importance. Education is of paramount importance right now.
Absolutely! I get it if you're stocking up for weather disasters to a degree, but the number of folks who rely strictly on bottled water is too high. Seems that some combination of advertising + fear and convenience have made it too enticing to use single-use water bottles, though. ☹️
Agreed! It's absolutely insane what passes the public by these days; unfortunately, I think that the extremely fast residence time for anything in the news cycle is getting worse these days...
Thank goodness for the Lincoln Project! Maybe the bully in chief will eventually come to realize he's not in control here...
They still can; the day is still young...
A Heritage spokesperson told CyberScoop after publication that the organization was not “hacked.” Instead, the spokesperson said “an organized group stumbled upon a two-year-old archive of The Daily Signal website that was available on a public-facing website owned by a contractor. The information obtained was limited to usernames, names, email addresses, and incomplete password information of both Heritage and non-Heritage contributors, as well as article comments and the IP address of the commentor.”
At least they're admitting to being incompetent...
Absolutely despicable! Thank you for summarizing all of these details, this story has such sprawl it's difficult to capture just how all the issues factor into one another anymore. Really hope that justice starts to play out in the long term, but I'm not convinced that will happen on account of the corruption emanating from the State; the Kansas Bureau of Investigation decided to involve CBI in the matter, indicating the rot likely permeates much of the state bureaucracy as well.
There's also the attempt to undermine Kansas' 2016 Open Records Act in preventing the release of pertinent communications by officials and court records during and shortly before the raid (which many anti-transparency activists in the Kansas GOP are trying to use to get rid of the KORA (1 and 2)).
Most definitely!
At least where I am, they're in the most uptown bougie strip mall they can get into; same situation with Whole Foods. Starting to shop exclusively at the two state-wide/local stores that don't have these issues, but wish more folks had access to quality local grocers who pay well and support unions.
That's a good question, never heard about this before now...
It will be interesting to see what becomes of them!
