True story bro.

Today, WH Border Czar Homan said California's Governor and LA Mayor Bass could be arrested if they interfered with ICE. This, after the arrest of a NJ Congresswoman & a Wisconsin Judge. This isn't what democracy is supposed to look like. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Law enforcement officers should never cover their faces when making arrests or conceal their identities (unless they are working undercover). They work for us. We have a right to know who they are. These face coverings are frightening & unAmerican, as though they're ashamed of what they're doing.

HALLELUYAH! Finally, someone has the courage to take on the grifter, antivaxxer, and lunatic RFK Jr. Thank you Senator Alsobrooks.

Nothing to see here. Just @emilyjaynef.bsky.social being forcibly removed from NY-17 Rep. Mike Lawler's town hall tonight for having the temerity to act like a citizen of the United States. Hero.

Turning the U.S.–Mexico border into a military zone seems designed to sidestep Congress. It’s the kind of presidential overreach that Congress and the courts should check.

The country thats still defending is winning, the country that is breaking out tanks from WW2 in storage and attacking on donkeys and lost 900,000 men and got kicked out of Kyiv and begs NK for troops and Iran for weapons, isn’t. youtu.be/lvVI64jVXuI

And you thought the left was censorious. How about actual censoring?

Inject the second paragraph of this footnote directly into my veins. (And then send it to the nine firms that have bent the knee.)

What is this madness? What do “riots in Harlem” have to do with Harvard? No one wanted to interrupt and ask? Also, what riots?

Good Night World

Call it something fancy like "malfeasance" or something simple like "incompetence" but either way there should be articles of impeachment to remove the HHS secretary for being a shameless liar who is working relentlessly to make people sick.

I bet it’s an AOL dial-up connection

Harvard scientist Kseniia Petrova has been in ICE custody for about two months. Her colleague and friend Leon Peshkin says her case is causing some scientists to reconsider working in the U.S.

“For electronics, at least, we’re now putting much higher tariffs on intermediate goods used in manufacturing than on final goods. This actually discourages manufacturing in the United States.”

HASSETT: If you look at the latest jobs report, it was way, way above even what I expected TAPPER: You know the jobs data was from before the "liberation day"

"On Tyranny" is a #1 NYT bestseller again. I wish the moment were different. But I’m glad the book is useful. And grateful for all the kind words about putting the 20 lessons to work. snyder.substack.com/p/twenty-les...

Hands Off in Santa Cuz CA 4000 strong

There are no tariffs being put on Russia. Hmmm

For those digesting and trying to understand yesterday's tariff announcement, I recommend my colleague @eepetry.bsky.social 's expert brief on conflicts of interest and self-dealing in the executive branch. www.brennancenter.org/our-work/res...

It took just two months to drive two of our closest and most important allies into China's arms.

🚨BREAKING: Federal court rules that the Pennsylvania date requirement for mail-in ballot violates the First and 14th Amendments. Counties cannot reject ballots from counting undated and wrongly dated mail-in ballots. A HUGE victory for my law firm, our clients DSCC and DCCC and the voters of PA!

Europe did not start the tariff confrontation. Tariffs are taxes, paid by the people. But Europe has everything to protect our people and our prosperity. We will always promote & defend our interests and values. And we will always stand up for Europe. Full speech → europa.eu/!GDTK6R

oh this is a big mystery

New in PN: Playing a bad hand badly "Democrats left themselves with no good options, then justified their surrender on the ground that there were no good options."

“‘In the past several weeks, [Trump] has really launched a full-frontal assault on the Constitution, the rule of law, our system of justice and the entire legal profession.’”

Alabama, like other states, depends on NOAA warnings for early preparedness for events like this. Early preparedness saves lives. But Trump & Musk are killing off NOAA. www.al.com/weather/2025...

Khalil’s detention means we are a hop, skip & jump away from political persecutions. It’s a steep, slippery slope from here to “speak out against Trump & go to jail.” Being different, unpopular, or “other” will get you removed from your home in this new world. joycevance.substack.com/p/first-they...

RFK Jr on the measles vaccine: "There are adverse events from the vaccine. It does cause deaths every year. It causes all the illnesses that measles itself cause."

The Trump administration’s cuts to the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency mean that local election officials may have much less support in fighting cyberthreats to elections, @gowriramachandran.bsky.social told Phoenix’s NBC affiliate.

The point isn’t about Newsom himself or any individual politician. The point is we need opposition leadership that isn’t afraid to say in clear terms that we are on the verge of a dark, dysfunction autocratic abyss and doesn’t fear opprobrium or being physical harmed for saying that.

And I hate to be agreeing with AOC. Go figure.

these people are disgusting

So don't want to be the bearer of bad tidings: but DOGE canceled the lease on the facility that processes and stores all the nuclear waste created by the US military. Sorry. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/doge-...

Social Security is not a Ponzi scheme. It’s a high-functioning, universal, and exceptionally efficient part of the American social safety net. Zoom out and you’ll see the biggest Ponzi scheme of them all — the entire Trump 2 regime. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/the-biggest-ponzi-scheme-of-all
