Wow. What a sign that criminal case against Abrego Garcia may be politically cooked up. "Schrader’s resignation was prompted by concerns that the case was being pursued for political reasons" Schrader spent 15 years in the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Nashville and was chief of the criminal division

Also, the president will suffer irreparable harm if he can't exclude the AP from the press pool during the pendency of the appeal, come on, be serious. This is the fetishization of presidential power at the expense of the most fundamental constitutional liberties. Let's hope for en banc.

I regret to inform you the Fifth Circuit is at it again #libsky www.libraryjournal.com/story/librar...

By the way a military parade when we’re not celebrating a war victory is something a dude who never served would do.

Bannon Betrays Big Beautiful Bill

In-laws hosted an Afghan family with little kids for a year. Fabulous people and model immigrants who dearly love this country. The dad, who worked with US troops, would be a dead man if he's sent back to Afghanistan. A shocking abandonment, even by Trump standards.

Remember when Republicans were losing their minds about leaving Afghans who worked with US troops to be killed by the Taliban? Well, Trump has revoked their asylum and is planning to send them back to be murdered.

"The scientific research base of the United States of America *is* the research university. We made that decision 80 years ago. We don't have a Plan B." — Condoleezza Rice

This is a great development

The Florida Bar has filed misconduct charges against Attorney General Pam Bondi. She has been in violation of multiple ethics rules since being sworn in.

“Thanks to various crypto deals, the Trump family’s wealth increased by nearly $3 billion in the last 6 months. Trump has proven himself the most successful president – at monetizing the presidency” — my latest @theguardian.com on Trump’s latest corruption scheme

📣 Update: Three hours after we published this article, an inspector arrived at Trump's club for its reinspection. (NJ code requires such visits be conducted “at an unannounced time.”) This time the club earned a B with a score of 86—the lowest score possible to still receive a satisfactory grade.

Fuck this

Exactly the right response and shows significantly more courage than those who capitulated to Trump’s false claims of unrestrained authority

Strong "fuck you, make me" energy

WATCH: “It's totally unconscionable,” says Sen. Bernie Sanders on the GOP bill that would kick 11 million Americans off health care. “And to do that in order to give massive tax breaks to people today on the top—who have never ever had it so good—is beyond cruel.”

Chris Murphy: "The entire administration is a grift from top to bottom... it appears Musk didn't get everything that he wanted in this bill to help his companies, and so he's throwing a temper tantrum... you have to understand none of this is on the level. It's a bunch of thieves stealing from us."

NEW: Trump Administration Proposes Cutting Tribal College Funds by Nearly 90% @mattkrupnick.bsky.social

The Trump administration has announced that it is revoking guidance to the nation’s hospitals that directed them to provide emergency abortions to women when they are necessary to stabilize their medical condition.

From a MAGA insider:

This is really, really big news. Especially for the tens of thousands of federal employees impacted by DOGE cuts.

Kate Shaw is a national treasure, and I’m so glad she’s not taking shit from the Hawley and Kennedy. And I say this notwithstanding the fact that Kate and I have pretty different views on nationwide injunctions, the subject of this hearing.

Voters last fall might not have realized that a Republican victory in 2024 would mean cuts to cancer research, but here we are. Take the new White House budget plan, for example. www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

We have THAW in SE Michigan, and it's so important in colder months as a means to keep some people, well, alive.

It's all just so fucking corrupt and it's happening in front of our eyes.

Kamala Harris saved the Democratic Party from electoral annihilation and she deserves so much better than to be constantly shaded by “anonymous sources” in gossip books

Manuscript friends — I have a query from Georgia (USA) about a locally-purchased mss: “we were astonished to find a substantial, unpublished literary work — composed between 1737 and 1759 — authored by an English woman using the pseudonym “Amica”.

“The group estimated that reducing the operating budget by $900 million, as the Trump administration wants to do, would require closing 350 of the 433 parks, monuments, historic sites and other locations overseen by the Park Service… we would be witnessing the dismantling of a century-old system”

How do you compete with a political party that says it will do X, actually does Y, and continues to convince people it did X?

On June 1, 1996, the last nuclear missiles were brought from Ukraine into Russia. The next day, Ukraine has lost its status of a nuclear state after signing the Budapest Memorandum. The US, the UK and Russia gave their assurances that Ukrainian security and sovereignty would not be violated.

@jamestalarico.bsky.social: "It's reverse Robinhood. It's welfare for the wealthy. And it's a travesty that this [private school voucher] scam has passed into law here in Texas. But we should do everything we can to stop this from happening at the federal level."

Trump has picked 2022 law school grad Paul Ingrassia to lead the Office of Special Counsel. As of 9 days ago, Ingrassia’s Instagram included a pinned photo of himself w/ self-professed “misogynist” Andrew Tate (such “physical prowess”) who has since been charged w/ rape & trafficking in the UK. 1/
