Writers—every time you think to yourself, “Wouldn’t it be cool if these characters were related to each other?” Take a deep breath, and then throw yourself down a flight of stairs.

Imagine spending your birthday imprisoned behind bars in a foreign country with no way to contact the outside world. Today, our client Andry turns 32 yrs old and is spending his birthday in El Salvador's Terrorism Confinement Center (CECOT) prison despite having no criminal history. bit.ly/4k92cSP

Not hilarious as much as horrible

Trump just nominated Paul Ingrassia to run the Office of Special Counsel. Ingrassia is a former far-right podcast host and election denier who once shared an article calling for “martial law” to keep Donald Trump in office following his loss in the 2020 election. He's 29.

An updated score for the House-passed reconciliation bill — which is broadly expected to result in even more uninsured than the ~10M estimate from a prior version of the bill — is expected next week, per CBO's press office. www.cbo.gov/about/press-... (h/t Axios's Peter Sullivan on Twitter/X)

It is my understanding that a member of Congress still faces frivolous felony charges and that this has somehow gotten lost track of in the news cycle. It does still seem important. www.politico.com/news/2025/05...

For starters, Democrats need to actually field a candidate against Mike Johnson, unlike the 2022 and 2024 campaigns when they let him run unopposed. The odds of unseating him will be long, but use the campaign to put him on defense and make our version of Pierre Poilievre sweat a little.

Musk is out. But Trump’s health care cuts, economic decline, and backwards cabinet are not. Hands off Medicaid. Do something about costs. Fire Hegseth.

Donald Trump's chaotic tariffs haven't just wrecked our economy and harmed consumers. They're also illegal. We're fighting back in the courts, and we're winning. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Memo to Dems: It's absurd for Trump to blame foreign students for taking Americans' slots even as he's also pushing a House GOP bill that would put higher ed out of reach for hundreds of thousands of working class kids. Say so, Dems! newrepublic.com/article/1957...

I'm genuinely sorry that Fetterman had a stroke and suffers from depression. But arguing that he has a free pass not to do his job in the name of destigmatizing brain injury and mental health struggles is offensive. If he can't do it, he should resign. If he doesn't want to, he should resign faster.

The Trump administration’s threat to impose certain steep tariffs on critical U.S. trading partners hung in limbo on Thursday after a panel of judges blocked a set of across-the-board charges. But both experts and trading partners around the world greeted the news with caution, not celebration.

There's a stunning provision tucked into the budget bill that would limit courts' ability to enforce contempt orders, and therefore to uphold the rule of law. This deserves real alarm. If the Senate values the separation of powers, it must remove the provision.

This is what happens when you put internet conspiracy theorists in charge of major government departments.
