“He is granting audiences to people who buy his meme coin. When the sitting president of the United States is selling access for what are effectively payments directly to him. There is no question that that rises to the level of an impeachable offense.” Sen. Jon Ossoff

This moment when the penny drops that trying to implement bathroom bans is an impossibility for the former Tory Chief Secretary Simon Clarke is delicious.

submitted 1 day ago • 345 comments

Yes. In a sane media environment, the bathroom ban would be the end of anyone treating 'gender critical feminists' as anything other than a hate group. It's a straightforwardly bigoted policy that imposes an insane 'solution' to a nonexistent problem.

The Attorney General is so unserious. If you’re a prosecutor who is serious about obtaining a conviction, you don’t go on Fox and talk about the (alleged) facts of the case like this. Has Bondi read the Justice Manual? Has Bondi heard of pretrial publicity motions? How about bar ethics rules?

I led the DOJ working group that developed regulations for prisons and jails to combat sexual abuse as required by the Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA) — a bill that, incidentally, passed Congress unanimously. I suspect this decision may be lawless; regardless, it is a travesty.

The Prison Rape Elimination Act passed Congress unanimously in 2003. It requires audits of every prison and jail in the US and technical support for efforts to end carceral rape. Without funding, this doesn't happen. Appalling. Not surprising. But absolutely appalling.

The key chart right now: Usually US economic pain is cushioned by falling bond yields and a strengthening dollar, which mean lower interest rates and more spending power for consumers. This time we’re seeing the opposite, meaning the pain will be amplified.

What Trump wants from tariffs is public displays of submission and/or bribes. Japan isn't going to do that. Most countries won't do that. They're open to actual trade negotiations, but that would mean doing something for America, and the Trump admin simply does not think that way. They have no ask.
