To @govmurphy.bsky.social:
As a Jerseyite (Bloomfield) and an American, I was deeply disappointed by your answers on #AskTheGov suggesting you may not sign the Immigrant Protection Package. You said signing these bills would just be a “feel good moment” that wouldn’t change much and hinted

Breaking: House Republicans pass Marjorie Taylor Greene's bill to criminalize doctors that provide gender-affirming care for trans kids. Her bill imposes jail time penalties up to 10 years. Now, it's headed to the Senate where it is not likely to advance as it would need 7 Democrats to sign on

So let me get this straight...Trump on his 60 Minutes interview claims he doesn't know the crypto billion he pardoned, and legacy media essentially shrugs? But Biden's pardons are drawing scrutiny? Do your fucking jobs!

In the past month, a serial child rapist has murdered 100 people in the Caribbean, destroyed the East Wing of the White House, neutralized our Congress, & stolen food from 20% of American children.

We pay him, house him, drive him, fly him, and pay for his bodyguards.

The following is a statement from the WGA on ABC’s decision to pull ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’
WGA Statement on ABC's Decision to Pull ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’ The right to speak our minds and to disagree with each other - to disturb, even - is at the very heart of what it means to be a free people. It is not to be denied. Not by violence, not by the abuse of governmental power, nor by acts of corporate cowardice. As a Guild, we stand united in opposition to anyone who uses their power and influence to silence the voices of writers, or anyone who speaks in dissent. If free speech applied only to ideas we like, we needn't have bothered to write it into the Constitution. What we have signed on to - painful as it may be at times - is the freeing agreement to disagree. Shame on those in government who forget this founding truth. As for our employers, our words have made you rich. Silencing us impoverishes the whole world. The WGA stands with Jimmy Kimmel and his writers.

For everyone saying political violence has no place in this country…

Remember two Democratic legislators were shot in Minnesota just this year.

And America shrugged and moved on.

NEW: The Trump admin may be planning to remove more unaccompanied noncitizen children from the US this weekend, this time from a different country, after its stalled attempt to remove Guatemalan children, says the National Immigration Law Center @nilc.org. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
After Defendants’ unlawful attempt to remove unaccompanied children originally hailing from Guatemala was stopped by a temporary restraining order that was litigated over a holiday weekend, the Court set a briefing schedule on Plaintiffs’ pending Motion to Certify Class (ECF No. 6). Under that schedule, Defendants’ opposition to Plaintiffs’ Motion is due on September 5, 2025. On September 4, at 3:53 pm, counsel for Defendants contacted Plaintiffs’ counsel by email requesting consent to a one-day extension of time. In response, Plaintiffs’ counsel stated that “We are inclined to consent to your extension request, premised on a commensurate extension for the replies to preserve our allotted time. We have become concerned, however, about reports that the administration may be planning events mirroring those of last weekend but targeting other unaccompanied children. We are hoping to avoid the necessity of another quick-turn weekend TRO. We believe the briefing schedule would, at minimum, need to be adjusted were such events to unfold. We request that you confirm that your clients do not plan to imminently seek to deport or repatriate unaccompanied children, of other-than Guatemalan nationality, in the custody of ORR during the pendency of the weekend. With that modest agreement in place, we will agree to your request.” Defendants refused to consent to that modest request. Plaintiffs then requested that Defendants include the following statement in their motion seeking the extension for the Court’s awareness: “In response to concerns that the government may imminently seek to remove unaccompanied children of other nationalities, Plaintiffs asked the government to agree that it will not seek to effectuate removals of such children over the course of the coming weekend, because any such actions would necessitate renewed TRO briefing. The government refused that request, and Plaintiffs are unable to consent to the requested extension in light of the possibility of further emergency proceedings this weekend.” Defendants also refused to include Plaintiffs’ statement. The email correspondence is attached in full as Exhibit A. As a result, Plaintiffs file this opposition to Defendants’ motion for the extension in order to advise the Court of the basis for Plaintiffs’ objection. Should Defendants once again attempt to remove unaccompanied minors in violation of law and without due process, Plaintiffs plan to seek immediate additional relief. Dated: September 4, 2025 Respectfully submitted, Efren Olivares Hilda Bonilla (D.C. Bar No. 90023968) Lynn Damiano Pearson* Kevin Siegel* NATIONAL IMMIGRATION LAW CENTER

I am sickened by the relentless demonisation of refugees.

No refugee underfunded a school.

No refugee closed a hospital.

No refugee took away support from the sick and disabled.

We need solutions not scapegoats. Stop blaming refugees and tax the rich instead!
