I got a lot of death threats after I confronted Nancy Mace at a tech conference in DC and I guess it's nice to know that most of them were probably just from her and her bot army? www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Well, all true, and if you were Justice Sam Thomas Crow Alito you wouldn’t want limits on corruption either. They want their yachts, houses, and family expenses paid for (after the act of course). Of course….

I don’t know how many times we have to say this, but the U.S. government is not a business and shouldn’t be run like one. It’s a service—for the people.

In San Antonio today, plainclothes ICE officers (not masked this time) arrested, handcuffed, and zip-tied a family of five (yes, ALL of them, including the little children) coming out of their immigration court hearing — which ICE had just had dismissed. www.mysanantonio.com/news/local/a...

Republicans are retooling the $42.5 billion infrastructure bill broadband grant program so they can hand billions of dollars in new subsidies to Elon Musk's congested, expensive, ozone-layer depleting satellite broadband service. Which means redirecting it away from better, cheaper, faster options:

Wow. Avelo airlines has covered up their logo to hide the fact that they're helping with mass deportation. Avelo's customer service number is (346) 616-9500. Feel free to give them a call and tell them how you feel about them.

One might have thought that last November, when Missourians voted to enshrine “reproductive freedom" in the state constitution, that would have been the end of the conversation. Alas, the Missouri Supreme Court doesn’t seem to be inclined to listen. This week, the court halted abortions.

Justin Wolfers has pointed out that most precision manufacturing machines are made in Europe. So just by threatening these tariffs, Trump is undermining his stated goal for all the other tariffs. In case you needed more evidence that he has no idea what the fuck he’s doing.

FYI to media outlets, you're misleading your readers if you repeat this at face value. There's no lawful way for him to redirect these grants elsewhere. It's a lie to distract from how the GOP budget guts educational funding, including Pell Grants at trade schools.
