Mulling over the mental gymnastics required to argue: 1) universities teach nothing 2) professors are radicalized left-wing lunatics AND 3) it’s a national security risk that international students come to US universities to “steal technical knowledge” and “expensive research and development”

Here's something everybody should be paying attention to: Congressional Republicans are trying to weaken the Affordable Care Act and put millions of people at risk of losing their health care. Call your Senators and tell them we can't let that happen.

Law firms that capitulated revealed poor strategic judgment: they alienated liberal in-house counsel, folded on a winnable federal case (law firms rarely lose because judges have affinity for lawyers), and signaled they won't even fight easy battles. They confused cowardice with pragmatism.

@jamellebouie.net this is typical of #strongmen and fits the psychological portrait laid out in my book. Democratic leaders represent the nation vs authoritarians who claim to embody it.

Please. January 6th insurrectionists used bear spray and flagpoles as weapons against police officers. Officers died as a result. The rioters were pardoned.

I cannot stress enough how much of a Def Con 1 moment this is. Federal judges fear that the President of the United States will stand down security for judges in retaliation for adverse decisions. This is such a huge story.

Pacers 130, Knicks 121. The Pacers are the first team to win a home game this series and lead it 3-1. They are 1 win from the NBA Finals. Tyrese Haliburton with a monster 32 point, 12 rebound, 15 assist performance. Pascal Siakam adds 30. Dominance from the stars.

The Pacers are one win away from the NBA Finals 🙌 Tyrese Haliburton led his team to a 121-130 win in Game 4 to give Indiana a commanding 3-1 lead. Haliburton is the first player in playoff history to have 30+ points, 10+ rebounds, 15+ assists and ZERO turnovers. H/T @nbaontnt.bsky.social

Head Start works. It is a vital lifeline for affordable child care and early childhood education that we should be working to expand, not defund. It was great to be in Racine today to hear about what Head Start means to these Wisconsin families.

It’s probably uncharitable to pick on journalists when they’re under attack from so many powerful and malign forces, but it’s still necessary to keep the news media true to their purpose.

When opposition to “nationwide injunctions” becomes a rightwing article of faith then SCOTUS takes inappropriate vehicles to try and end it (birthright citizenship case) and Republican members of Congress write ham-fisted bills. Watch @joeneguse.bsky.social go to work on Rep. Jim Jordan.

new from @tusk81.bsky.social: A declassified intel memo from Trump’s own National Intelligence Council found no evidence of a Venezuelan-led "invasion" by Tren de Aragua, directly contradicting the admin's immigration rhetoric. Despite this, DNI Tulsi Gabbard fired the acting NIC chair & his deputy

Gabbard’s top aide, ordering changes to an intel assessment that debunked one of Trump’s lies: “We need to do some rewriting … so this document is not used against the DNI or POTUS.” Politicizing intelligence is just another one of the many corrupt acts Trump falsely alleged and is now committing.
