/

At any moment, the Supreme Court will issue a decision in the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Maryland man whom the Trump administration admits it deported to a notorious Salvadoran mega prison due to “administrative error.” The ruling could pose a make or break moment, not just for the life of Abrego Garcia, but […]

Montana Republicans Say No to Prosecuting Parents for Trans Care

/

Five days after President Donald Trump declared “gender ideology” to be “one of the most prevalent forms of child abuse,” Montana’s Republican-controlled House of Representatives killed a bill that would have enshrined much the same idea into state law by criminalizing parents and medical providers.

New Trump EO Would Punish States for Combating Climate Change

/

On Tuesday, President Donald Trump signed an executive order aimed at “protecting” American energy from “state overreach.” The move, some energy experts say, is a legally dubious federal overstep designed to undermine the rights of states and local authorities to combat climate change. The order claims “many States have enacted, or are in the process […]

Trump’s “Pincer Attack” on Journalism Is Working. But There’s Hope.

/

David Folkenflik occupies a unique role at NPR: He’s a journalist who writes about journalism. And that includes the very organization where he works, which is once again being threatened by conservatives in Washington.

There’s One Thing Elon Musk Might Be Right About

/

Elon Musk is not always wrong. Musk’s prediction back in February that “some of the things that I say will be incorrect” was certainly right, if understated. And on Tuesday, the billionaire, like a broken clock, may have hit the target again when he attacked Peter Navarro—the Trump trade adviser and key architect of the […]
