GOP's reconciliation bill would heap more profits on private equity for buying up companies with borrowed money and selling them off for scrap. www.levernews.com/wall-street-...

I would love to see a 50-state campaign to pass free school lunch and anti-gun measures in tribute.

This is so fuckin' lit.

A pretty consistent theme through history is militaries under authoritarian regimes underperforming due to low morale and corruption. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Kennedy's entire tenure at HHS has "drawn the ire" of "anti-illness groups," while the increasingly death-agnostic MAGA base has cheered the destruction of what some have termed a "cult of evidence based medicine"

Hell is going to need an expansion wing just for all the ICE goons of this era and their collaborators. I'm sure private equity will get the contract.

ABC exec quietly being marched off to the gulag: "I'm sure making a statement by being so professional about this."

The Decency Arbitrage gambit, Terry Moran edition. Decency arbitrage is the exploitation of others’ commitment to the expectations of civility as a tactical advantage by those who discard them. They know their opponents’ commitment to norms will prevent them from responding in kind.

Pretty bad news for every law abiding proprietor of a Mexican restaurant in the country.

Let's be clear what is going on: After Elon correctly confirmed that the Big Ugly Bill would put a bigger hole in the deficit, Stephen Miller incited a panic he wants to use to pass the bill as a promise to impose martial law on Dem cities and states. www.emptywheel.net/2025/06/08/t...

The White House has officially canceled the First Amendment and declared public protest a form of treason.

Free speech Karen wants to talk to your manager.

The attacks by our masked storm troopers will continue until public safety improves.

Abrego Garcia is back in the US. Now come the spurious criminal charges, and a stream of accusations backed by no evidence outside the courts. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/06...

Really important point jere on the "distraction" discourse.

Gov. Walz: “I’m just going to say it, shame on any of us who throws a trans child under the bus for thinking they’re going to get elected.” www.startribune.com/gov-tim-walz...

JFC they're occupying a Mexican restaurant kitted out like they're gonna raid bin Laden.

Not one single person quoted in this story expresses remorse or regret over having voted for Trump. Nor do they express opposition to the admin's broader immigration policies. They are just upset that their own lives have been impacted in this small way.

An armed assault on an urban neighborhood so these cosplay soldiers could check the papers on a few line cooks. Both pathetic and terrifying.

Jesus. DHS stormed a Congressman's office because they thought he was "harboring" immigration advocates accused of loitering in a public area of a fed building. Cuffed a staffer who said they needed a warrant to search the office. Then lied about it in their report gothamist.com/news/homelan...

I guess they didn't sensationalize it enough. www.showbiz411.com/2025/05/29/j...

How was work honey? Pretty good! I arrested 7 brown people for showing up to their court hearings, AND a priest for looking at us in a way we found disquieting. All and all, just another day of totally being the good guys.

Ladies and gentlemen, the party of the forgotten working class.
