For the past three years, the city has been giving cash to some struggling renters, no strings attached. The first-in-the-nation experiment has been even more successful than researchers studying its impact expected.

NEW: DC grand jurors reject more Justice Dept cases Former DOJ attorney: “Not only have I never heard of this happening, I've never heard of a prosecutor who's heard of this happening” www.cbsnews.com/news/d-c-gra...
JD Vance, last week: The administration isn’t “forcing” Guard troops on any American cities, and the White House will wait for invitations. Trump, this week: We’re deploying Guard troops to Chicago whether state and local officials like it or not. www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...
More than 100 students across four City University of New York colleges have so far benefited from the pilot program to help pay for masters degrees.
Given what we have seen in recent months re: the Epstein files, there are only three possible scenarios: 1. Donald Trump is a pedophile 2. He is covering for his pedophile friends 3. All of the above. None of these scenarios should be acceptable to any American with even a shred of integrity.
Writing for the majority, Judge Leslie H. Southwick explained: “A country’s encouraging its residents and citizens to enter this country illegally is not the modern-day equivalent of sending an armed, organized force to occupy, to disrupt or to otherwise harm the United States.”
A federal appeals court has blocked the Trump administration from invoking wartime powers under the Alien Enemies Act to deport migrants. In a 2-1 decision, the court rejected the claim that immigration (even on a large scale) constitutes a military breach of U.S. borders.
3 September 1944 | The last transport of Jews left #Westerbork camp in the German-occupied #Netherlands to the #Auschwitz camp. 1,019 people were deported, among them Anne Frank, her sister Margot, and their parents Otto and Edith.
3 September 1935 | An Italian Jewish girl, Sissel Vogelmann, was born in Torino. In January 1944 she was deported to #Auschwitz together with her parents Schulim and Anna. On 6 February she and her mother were murdered in a gas chamber. The father survived.
Seems like a pissy old weak man, with pent up anger because he wasn’t invited. He’s definitely ill equipped for the office. www.huffpost.com/entry/donald...

On this day in 1901, Alabama adopted a new state constitution that prohibited interracial marriage and mandated separate schools for Black and white children.
happy bday New Zealand writer Cherry Wilder, b.1930, "an important writer of science fiction, fantasy novels, and short fiction in the last quarter of the twentieth century. A writer whose work both entertained and also challenged rigid social mores."
RIP writer E. E. Cummings, died today 1962 "...here is the deepest secret nobody knows (here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide) and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart
happy bday writer Sarah Orne Jewett, b.1849, South Berwick, ME. “It seems to me like stealing, for men and women to live in the world and do nothing to make it better.” “In the life of each of us there is a place remote and islanded, and given to endless regret or secret happiness.”
again i will say this today, the greatest threat to democracy, individual freedoms, and most citizens personal safety is not islam, socialism or wokeism, or someone's sex or sexuality. The greatest threat today is "christian" nationalism.
happy bday landscape designer and gardener Ruth Bancroft, b.1908, Boston. "Well, who cares if I'm around or not? Someone will be around. And if I don't plant it then nobody will get to see it"
RIP writer Laura Riding, died this day 1991. "Until the missing story of ourselves is told, nothing besides told can suffice us: we shall go on quietly craving it" “Ah, the minutes twinkle in and out And in and out come and go One by one, none by none, What we know, what we don't know.”
Having a bad day?? Here's a little boost... 😊 #dog #dogday #bluesky
“A country’s encouraging its residents and citizens to enter this country illegally is not the modern-day equivalent of sending an armed, organized force … the court said. “There is no finding that this mass immigration was an armed, organized force or forces.” www.nytimes.com/2025/09/03/u...
I ♥️ E. E. Cummings
“It seems to me like stealing, for men and women to live in the world and do nothing to make it better.” ~Sarah Orne AMEN!!
“weakening centuries-old power” is another way of saying violating the Constitution. But why speak clearly when euphemisms will do?

If your president spends all his days trying to get around the law and circumvent the constitution, you need a better president.
Trump vs. the law Use of the Alien Enemies Act to force deportations - illegal Military invasions of American cities - illegal Detentions without due process - illegal Declaring fake national emergencies to bypass Congress - illegal When you elect a criminal, you get a criminal presidency.
Kim Jong Un introduced President Xi to his teenage daughter. He didn’t introduce Trump to his daughter. I can only assume he’s read the Epstein files.
3 September 1927 | Jewish girl, Tamara Woskin, was born in Leipzig. During the war she lived in Prague. She was deported from Theresienstadt ghetto to #Auschwitz on 19 October 1944. She did not survive.

I’ve been looking all evening for more serious analysis on the actual legality (under domestic and international law) of today’s events, but this from three weeks ago more or less lays it out: www.nytimes.com/2025/08/08/u...
Trump is literally the only human in the world surprised by that idea.
Yanks with some nice infield work tonight. Well done!
Thank you @joycewhitevance.bsky.social
As concerns that Trump could be deploying National Guard troops as a test run for future election interference, we take a look at one law that will impact stationing federal troops at the polls themselves. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...
HUGE. The 5th Circuit joins many other federal courts in holding that Trump’s invocation of the Alien Enemies Act was unlawful. The judges emphasize that the law is fundamentally about *war* and about military actions; not illegal immigration or drug trafficking.
Oh, Idk, Trump seems very aware of what happened….
supreme irony that the party of lincoln is now the party of taney
Sure he’s a weird white nationalist. But when you see Eric Schmitt I want you to remember this: theappeal.org/missouri-att...
#BREAKING: Fifth Circuit (Southwick & Ramirez, JJ.) holds that President Trump’s invocation of the Alien Enemies Act against Tren de Aragua is unlawful, and blocks AEA removals in the Northern District of Texas (over a lengthy dissent from Judge Oldham): www.ca5.uscourts.gov/opinions/pub...
Wow.

In the aftermath of Emmett Till's lynching, white supremacists called for federal troops to invade and occupy Chicago. "If the federal government intervenes in the interests of law enforcement anywhere, it should start in Chicago, crime capital extraordinary." h/t @larryglickman.bsky.social
The U.S. Secretary of Energy does not know that electricity is energy. I'm glad we've gotten rid of DEI programs and are now giving America the leadership it deserves.
Here's the video Trump just posted to Truth Social, with the claim that 11 people aboard the boat were killed. There is zero evidence of self-defense here. Looks like a massacre of civilians at sea. Even if they had drugs aboard, that's not a capital offense.
This is a great piece about how important it is to refute Trump's "emergency" narrative. He justifies a hell of a lot of unconstitutional orders on the basis of "emergencies" that don't exist. Violent crime is at historic lows and immigrants commit crime at lower rates than citizens.

according to a White House official. Odd choice of words, isn’t it? To label transparency as “hostile.” Makes you wonder.
The White House has made it clear that any Republicans considering joining Representative Thomas Massie (R-KY) in his bipartisan push to force a vote on the full release of the Epstein files will be treated as committing a “very hostile act to the administration,”
3 September 1897 | A German Jewish woman, Hedwig Juliusburger, was born in Allenstein (Olsztyn). On 26 February 1943 she was deported to #Auschwitz from Berlin with her husband Alfred and son Klaus. They did not survive. The other son Gert perished in Auschwitz on 12 June 1944.
3 September 1927 | French Jewish girl, Suzanne Buch, was born in Paris. She was deported to #Auschwitz from Pithiviers on 7 August 1942. She did not survive.
