this seems correct

Many such cases.

My latest in Joy’s House: I’m in L.A. So I can tell you firsthand that the only crises here are ICE, Stephen Miller, Tom Homan, the Fox weekend guy that’s running the Pentagon, and Donald Trump. open.substack.com/pub/joyannre...

ABC as a charter member of the Vichy press strikes again www.msn.com/en-us/news/p...

Big point that is being missed: without the insurrection act, the activated Guard troops are now federal army and cannot Do law enforcement. Period

In Manhattan, ICE officers were forced to flee inside 26 Federal Plaza

Why do these agents need masks and flak jackets to raid a nail salon? Are they afraid someone will threaten them with a pedicure?

👏👏👏

When I was writing my book on the Cold War, I sat with boxes of papers and other materials in places like the Library of Congress and the Central European University in Budapest. I discovered lots of cool things while looking for other stuff.

Jonathan Joss was Comanche and Apache and an openly gay actor. He was murdered while looking at the remains of his dogs at his own house that was burnt down. The killer yelled homophobic slurs before shooting him. This is the real world consequences of the hatred that the right commodifies

I went to get my real ID and go turned away despite having: Passport Driver License Social Security Card County Tax Statement City Tax Statement Utility bill not accepted for no city/State. I HAD to have my Marriage Certificate. White Christian Nationalists are destroying our country.

The country is being run by drug addicts, reality tv stars and fox news hosts.

Excellent piece from Prof. (& @strictscrutiny.bsky.social co-host) @kateshaw.bsky.social . The Court’s emergency docket decision on the President’s power to fire the NLRB head is one of its worst. It deserves more attention. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/25/o...

"In an administration in which the sole goals are valorizing Trump & making him as rich as possible, any official who demonstrates an ability to effectively carry out the business of the govt is viewed w/ profound suspicion. But those willing to learn incompetence & moral obtuseness are promoted."

CNN sucks.

According to ProPublica, more than a dozen top executive branch officials and congressional aides sold stocks just before Trump's "Liberation Day" market crash.  Today would be a great day to ban public servants from trading stocks, don't you think?

Devastating. The cowardice and the betrayal of an incomparable news brand.

An IT worker for the nat'l parks drove to a bridge & called a friend to talk him down. A Medicaid researcher killed herself after repeating "I’m not enough" to her family. A Social Security worker, whose data was under siege by DOGE, died at her cubicle. www.washingtonpost.com/investigatio...

How about our legacy media spending just half, even one-fourth, the time they’ve spent questioning Joe Biden’s mental acuity to confront the reality of Trump’s derangement.

I've been in and around politics for 50 years. Let's just say I've experienced a lot — and it's worn me down. I used to be 6 foot 4. My new memoir, "Coming Up Short,' explores what I've learned, where I failed, and how future generations can pick up the fight for a better world. Learn more:
