While W. E. B. Du Bois was traveling in newly independent Ghana in 1963, the State Department refused to renew his passport, effectively annulling his United States citizenship.
The American civil rights icon became a Ghanaian citizen and died there later that year.
surely someone is super curious about why attorneys keep getting stopped at the border & having their phones searched

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg struggled in federal court to defend his reasons for the Facebook owner’s $1 billion purchase of Instagram more than a decade ago — one of two acquisitions the Federal Trade Commission now contends was illegally anticompetitive.
I’ll never get over how softly media carried the insane bailouts WE paid to farmers to cover the catastrophe of his first term tariffs. It didn’t get emphasized in debates or in response to his campaign tariff threat.HE TRIED THIS ALREADY. We paid. Remember? From 2020. www.forbes.com/sites/stuart...

Glad you checked b/c too many people think skin cancer isn’t a thing for us.
Today is another day that I’m so glad I no longer work as a Congressional staffer. Such heartbreak to watch Senate Dems undercut House Dems. Shame on Schumer. Shame on Durbin.
Schumer and Durbin should face a new leadership vote. Tomorrow.
Any Senate Democrat who votes for cloture should have to spend time at schools across D.C. answering questions about why they care so little about the lives of D.C. residents.
This serves as a call to my senator’s office. Vote no on the CR, @jeff-merkley.bsky.social. Schumer’s leadership isn’t taking us anywhere Oregonians want to go.
Hey, don’t ask me for any $ until we have a leader who stands up for what’s right, @dscc.bsky.social.
Schumer isn’t leading anywhere Oregon wants to go.
This serves as a call to my senior senator’s office. Vote no on the CR, @wyden.senate.gov. Schumer’s leadership isn’t taking us anywhere Oregonians want to go.
Schumer is not the strategist he imagines himself. Maybe it’s a New York thing but how many times can he be wrong and still believe his own noise?
Now that Schumer and Dems have abjectly decided to cave, when they scream about the cuts that Musk and Trump continue to undertake in violation of *their own CR,* it will only sound all the more hollow. Great job all around, guys.
Trump harping on making Canada the 51st state, is also insulting to the residents of D.C. a city w/o representation (but where the pop. is higher than that of Wyoming).
The 51st state is right there. Ah but Canada, Trump & Miller think, will help forestall the demographic changes they fear.

Schumer always thought he’d be a better leader than Harry Reid. In zero ways has proven it.
It’s beyond laughable that Chuck is the guy in the ring who is supposed to put up a fight for us. When has he shown grit? Where has he led his party? I guess I’m glad that y’all can see him clearly now.
When the FBI searched Jan. 6 defendant Jeremy Brown's home, they discovered illegal grenades, a sawed-off shotgun and classified information he retained after leaving the army.
Today, DOJ says Donald Trump's pardon for J6 issues covers all of that.
