The Minnesota shooter apparently used data broker websites to find the home addresses of the people he shot and murdered. Congress has had years to do something about data brokers and they've sided with the tech lobby over and over again. Their inaction is deadly.

This is the dumbest timeline. Tulsi Gabbard fed classified documents into a chatbot to ask it what could be released. Isn't that in the top ten of security breaches this regime has committed? So far? www.the-independent.com/news/world/a...

In a move that pushes the boundaries of Constitutional prohibition against a state religion, Hegseth hosted an evangelical prayer service in the middle of the day at the Pentagon in which a pastor praised President Donald Trump as "sovereignly appointed." Story by @ktoropin.bsky.social

A piece of advice from an old retired soldier to the commanders and leaders currently serving: Review the regulations & policies addressing political behavior when wearing the uniform, and then address those standards with your teams.

Brand-new polling from YouGov out this AM finds Trump's actions re: LA underwater. Double-digit disapproval on sending in Marines. This should be a reality check for those people arguing the protests inherently help Trump bc his immigration approval # is positive. today.yougov.com/topics/polit...

*Saturday. Much more importantly, he repeats this 3 times in the clip and doesn’t even pretend he’s referring to violence. He means anyone who protests him and his ridiculous parade. Such dissent, such free speech, warrants “very heavy force” according to the US President.

CNN’s Jason Carroll was zip-tied and escorted away—for reporting the news. But they claimed he wasn’t under arrest? Why are they shooting rubber bullets at and silencing journalists? We still have a First Amendment.

There are four days left of school, the kids are feral, I have no voice, and I am fully aware that the kids who speak Portuguese were teaching the other kids how to swear in Portuguese. How’s that for DEI?

10 USC 12406 has a textual limitation that is different from the Insurrection Act (and a bit ambiguous). "Orders . . .shall be issued through the governors of the States." Upshot: CA Governor Newsom can shape the NG response, rules for use of force, etc. www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/...

After “rule of law”, “separation of powers”, “habeas corpus”, our next legal term for those following the ongoing US constitutional crisis is “insurrection”. This is like the most dismal 101 course in constitutional law (and lack of law) ever, played before us in real time.

DEVELOPING: No warning. No reason. NYPD officers rushed into the crowd and tackled a protester this weekend. His body was limp. He couldn’t move. He said, “I can’t feel my legs.” He might never walk again. For showing up. This is brutality. This is America.

Remember how Trump publicly urged Rupert to make NY Post editor Keith Poole the head of the Wall Street Journal? Well, weeks earlier, Poole killed an unflattering story about Trump's DEA pick that the administration wanted to go away. Check it out at Breaker! www.breakermedia.com/p/ny-post-ca...

For those of you who knew Victoria Brownworth on Twitter, she passed away from cancer yesterday. She was a fearless journalist who reported on AIDS in the 80s (when Reagan was ignoring it), lifted up the LGBTQ community, & rooted out corruption. Her wife, Maddy Gold, died of cancer in 2022.

Wow. This is major news. Judges discuss moving the U.S. marshals from the executive to the judicial branch. Not only would they protect judges from trump threats, but it would also make it easier for courts to order marshals to carry out court orders.

For every amazing local journalism story trying to make American lives better, there’s a big, lazy, national media narrative that is hot gutter trash making Americans stupider and lowering their expectations of government to a bullsh*t reality show. Truly embarrassing stuff here.
