This is of course horrendous, but this would get slapped down on First Amendment and Due Process grounds (I say optimistically)
Mast’s new bill claims to target a narrow set of people. One section grants the secretary of state the power to revoke or refuse to issue passports for people who have been convicted—or merely charged—of material support for terrorism… The other section sidesteps the legal process entirely. Rather, the secretary of state would be able to deny passports to people whom they determine “has knowingly aided, assisted, abetted, or otherwise provided material support to an organization the Secretary has designated as a foreign terrorist organization.”

Cory Booker gave a decent speech, proceeded to vote for a bunch of Trump's nominees, and is still appealing to the decency of Republicans to not act corruptly and maliciously. In July 2025!
New York Post story detailing Cory Booker's interaction with Chuck Grassley during Emil Bove's judiciary committee vote. Booker asked Grassley, who he described as a "good...[and] decent man," "Why are you doing this? What is Donald Trump saying to you that is making you do something which is violating the decorum of this committee, the rules of this committee, the decency?"

truly astonishing framing
For the leader of a major public university to take such an extraordinary step demonstrates President Trump's success in harnessing the investigate powers of the federal government to accomplish his adminstration's policy goals

it's absurd to argue that "maternal surveillance" prevents "truth finding" when a major part of the contemporary right-wing project is to prevent education on true history of the country!
I don’t mean that it’s explicitly women who are taking over society, because often the longhouse is managed by men — and in some cases it’s better or more severely and strictly managed by men — but it is a feminine way of social management that is distinct from a male- or masculine-coded social management and group dynamics. “Regime of maternal surveillance” is a phrase I’ve used before that preferences, for example, inclusion, conflict avoidance, consensus and safety. These kinds of priorities supersede things like truth finding and competition and the violent — and I don’t mean necessarily physically violent, but it can be that — but a combativeness that better characterizes a masculine way of thinking about ideas.
