I joined Symone Sanders, Michael Steele and Alicia Menendez to discuss the arrest of a New York City official and Democratic mayoral candidate, as well as the status of Trump’s federalization of the California National Guard in the courts. Watch and share. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZaNg...

As 🇬🇧 @mrjamesob.bsky.social rightly points out — that Netanyahu’s attack on Iran is likely an attempt to shift the focus away from the (ongoing) carnage in Gaza is not discussed enough.

As a Member of the Homeland Security Committee, I came to the Broadview ICE Processing Center to fulfill my congressional oversight authority, granted under appropriation laws. (1/2)

ICE has been taking the position nationwide that its field offices, and the detention cells therein, are not facilities "operated by or for [DHS] used to detain or otherwise house aliens," on the argument that the facilities are "processing areas" and therefore not covered detention facilities.

Yeah, there are echoes, but this is much worse. No real effort to persuade the American public or bring along international allies, no backing or buy-in from Congress, no pretense of a noble cause or anything, just one dumb power-mad thug being led to war by another.

To be clear: today's ruling doesn't make it less likely your child is trans, which is the whole objective of the anti-trans movement: fewer trans children by any means. It only makes it far less likely your child has access to lifesaving medical care if they're trans, which has never been a choice.

Crucial point from @mattduss.bsky.social: It looks like Trump is now getting his information on Iran from Lindsey Graham, Tom Cotton, Bibi and Fox News. This helps explain sidelining of his own intel officials. Awful. On the pod Matt is so clarifying on where we are: newrepublic.com/article/1969...

Seems worth remembering just 5 days ago Trump’s Secretary of State @marcorubio said we weren’t involved — and now today Trump is saying “I said let’s go” and taking credit (?) for Israel’s war with Iran. Bernie: “Netanyahu is not the president.”

Twenty years ago the Republican party stood for huge tax cuts for the rich and wars of choice in the middle east, but then Donald Trump totally remade the party and realigned American poltiics, and now the Republica party stands for...huge tax cuts for the rich and wars of choice in the middle east.

This is just fear and cruelty. Transgender people are literally only 1% of the population. People can't even name a time when they engaged a transgender person let alone a single instance where they cause them any harm. GOP spent $215 million on this manufactured panic.

Immigration used to be Donald Trump's best issue. Now, Americans are realizing that the administration isn’t implementing a policy of ‘worst first’ and are sending masked agents to immigration courts to pick people up. And, it does not help that Stephen Miller is running the show.

A strike on Iran is serious business—not a Fox News segment. I’m wary of Trump and Hegseth playing war games. But if our military is called to act, there’s no doubt: it’ll be swift, smart, and unmatched. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/striking-i...

In the Skrmetti dissent, Sotomayor points out that you cannot use "diagnosis" to get around equal protection, as the diagnosis itself is based on promoting alignment with one's assigned sex at birth vs. transgressing it, thus it should trigger heightened scrutiny and sex discrimination.
