Gesetz über den Widerruf von Einbürgerungen und die Aberkennung der deutschen Staatsangehörigkeit – Wikipedia

As good a time as any to recall that the Nazi state revoked 39,000 people's German citizenship between 1933 and 1945.
One think I like about reading public proceedings like the Jack Smith deposition is the very precise use of language by top-notch professionals.

One way to quantify the GOP's attack on free and fair elections:
My law firm is litigating 78 voting and election cases in 39 states. This is, by far, the largest caseload we have carried in a non-election year and close to our peak in 2024. The question is how many more can a small firm handle.

ICE detain father shopping on Christmas Eve—then steal his family's groceries.
Then 3 agents divvy up his paid for food—taking what they want for themselves.
"Can I just get the wife's number to call and let her know?" woman asks.
"No, guess he should've complied," agent says.

Einzelfahrt kostet in Berlin bald vier Euro: Preise im Nahverkehr erhöhen sich ab 2026 um sechs Prozent
Derzeit zahlen Fahrgäste für eine Einzelfahrt im Berliner Nahverkehr 3,80 Euro – das ändert sich ab Januar.
Der VBB-Aufsichtsrat reagiert damit auf steigende Betriebskosten.

Henry Cuellar, Don Davis, and Vicente Gonzalez joined Republicans in voting to criminalize trans health care.
The bill passed only 216 to 214.
4 Republicans voted no. If they did too, it would have failed.

Examining colonialism does not *compete* with examining the Third Reich and the Holocaust. Examining colonialism is part of examining the history of Europe, including the Third Reich and the Holocaust. Says everyone from Aimé Césaire to Götz Aly.

Senate News: Republicans are trying to sneak a provision into their latest government funding bill that would make it easier to sell off public lands and national parks, and may have the votes to do it. If you care about protecting your public lands, now’s the time to make it known.

First off, this wouldn’t be the first time Bondi tried to trick the public with a binder full of chicken feed. That’s what she did back in the spring, which infuriated the MAGA voters who took Trump and his cronies at their word that they’d release the files.

I hope people understand that if Trump gets his way America will soon be part of the global axis of evil if we aren't already. You see it in the Caribbean, you see it in Ukraine, and you see it with Trump trying to buddy up to Xi. We are a malevolent force.

The Founders built a system designed to enable and legally legitimize popular resistance to a tyrant, via strong free speech protections, the right to jury trial, and all sorts of restrictions on direct federal government action against individuals.
And the People are resisting, as elites cower.

It’s striking how many of the most mundane features of American democracy, built centuries ago to protect against remembered tyrants from centuries prior, are still the bulwark against Trumpian fascism, while all the newfangled modern institutions simply collapsed on first contact with him
JUST IN: Assistant U.S. Attorney Jeffrey Snell just confirmed, at the prodding of U.S. Magistrate Judge Keri Holleb Hotaling, that this motion for dismissal followed a "no bill" from a grand jury.
That means the grand jury refused to indict.
