One of the reporters, Michi Murayama of Sports Hochi, looked at me curiously. “You’re coming?” she asked. Abe joked: “He’s coming to write how ridiculous the Japanese media is.” — this writer is pretty elite

NEW: The Trump administration has conceded that it improperly deported another Salvadoran man in violation of a court order — blaming a "confluence of administrative errors." The man's lawyer plans to demand his return. www.politico.com/news/2025/05...

Maybe if Trump is nice to China, Xi Jinping will gift him the statutes.

Important to note: Trump never had the power to impose the tariffs. The court didn't remove the power. It underscored that he was exceeding his authority. Unanimously. A useful reminder that much of what Trump is seeking to do is blatantly illegal.

That’s good — cause I wasn’t really hooked on the first episode and the reception seems pretty lukewarm on /r/anime

Is this the court order that Trump could ignore and would Jon Stewart call that fascism, or no.

“Heartbreaking: A 4-year-old came here legally with her family for lifesaving care. Yet Trump still seeks to deport her despite doctors warning she could die. It’s cruel and inexcusable,” said Congresswoman Judy Chu.

Thomas dissented? I recall that he would have been ok with educators physicially abusing students in Tinker.

Then Donald Trump cancelled it because Drone contains the letter “D” and “E”.

Do trade schools do biomedical research with funds obtained through competitive NIH research grants or no?

Hard to believe they’re talking about the same event.

it’s interesting to see centrists complain about lefty reply mobs here, because in my experience the centrists on here do the same thing. if you criticized Biden/Kamala at all during the election you’d get swamped in the replies.

News writers shouldn’t repeat text from police reports.

Oh dear.

this quote is more American than a bald eagle

Supreme Court: The government can shoot or disappear people at will as an exercise of unitary executive power, but no, obviously, that wouldn’t include us, and frankly we’re kind of disappointed you asked.

The line in Bush v. Gore that’s like “uhhh our holding applies to uhhh this election only,” but for the sake of the current conservative justices’ investment portfolios

Also, hurricane season starts in two weeks.

1/5 May 15: NYT Article singles out Jackson, KY NWS office as one deeply impacted by DOGE cuts: 1. No overnight forecaster 2. Office closure from 1 am -6am 3. Weather balloons going up once a day instead of twice 4. Vacancy for the role of chief meteorologist www.nytimes.com/2025/05/15/u...

Mood.

Happy Trans Day of Visibility! To celebrate, we're awarding more than $15,000 in stipends to 30+ journalists to support them. These stipends will help develop careers of trans journalists, support fair and accurate coverage of trans communities, or both.

What.

“…he and his merry band of DOGE bros gleefully jumped from agency to agency, terrorizing bureaucrats, demanding access to sensitive data, and leaving snack wrappers on employees’ desks.” Who does that??

Can y’all send me today’s opinion pieces and Substack articles by liberal intellectuals on how the mere act of employing the word “genocide” cheapens its meaning? No?

The man with the nuclear codes walked into a wall. 😬

Caregivers to disabled people and aging adults (who do not have certain health conditions) will not be able to get the Covid booster in the future under new rules, putting people they care for at risk. New from me at @motherjones.com www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

I'd rather care too much and be ridiculed by someone I don't respect than to not care enough and fail the people who need my support the most.

I love Kei truck stories.

A New York corrections officer admitted in court that he cleaned up blood from the fatal beating of an inmate in an attempt to conceal evidence.

the weirdness at the Copyright Office intensifies, with both Dems and MAGA pointing fingers at Elon Musk for the firing of Shira Perlmutter, and identifying the AI report as the reason www.theverge.com/politics/666...

is it normal for bills filed in the U.S. Senate to have document titles that describe their absolute path on a Windows drive

DNC so unserious.

Progressive except Palestine (also known as PEP, alternatively written as progressive except for Palestine) is a phrase that refers to organizations or individuals who describe themselves politically as progressive, liberal, or left-wing but who do not express pro-Palestinian sentiment or…

Yes, the worm brain was mentioned.

Hey y’all, Disney appears to think that Newsmax is a “right-of-center news and commentary channel.”

“Operation Midnight Climax was not scientific at all,” Kinzer says. “The guys weren’t scientists; they weren’t sex therapists or psychologists. They were sitting on a portcable toilet drinking cocktails out of a pitcher.” Cocktails out of a pitcher.

The law professors who are arguing against birthright citizenship in the US are reinventing a common law decision from 1677 about allegiance and aliens that was pivotal for creating a common law of slavery in England’s empire. — a logic recreated in Dred Scot. — rejected by 14th amendment.

I appreciate that the phrase “we don’t negotiate with terrorists” is not part of the MAGA lexicon; but I also realize that Trump is still desperate for any form of approval.

Ugh

A Kehlani concert for Pride month was cancelled after pressure from Mayor Eric Adams’s office against the outspoken pro-Palestine artist. NYC Mayor Eric Adams’s office threatened to revoke the license of the concert organizers if the event wasn’t cancelled.

Hey “people who are not in power and will never be in power” — and I’ve already lost interest
