NEW: Trump’s DOJ is “court-baiting”: forcing the judiciary to make potentially unpopular decisions that are necessary to protect constitutional principles — then attacking them for those decisions. Experts say it’s straight from the authoritarian playbook. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

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

If you strip away the egos and shitposting, the Trump-Musk feud is really an argument over how comprehensively to screw over poor and working people—over how best to make our society a meaner, crueler, less equal, more savage place. New piece from me: newrepublic.com/article/1962...

New: A DOGE staffer developed an AI tool to review Veterans Affairs contracts. But there was a slight hitch. It hallucinated the size of those deals. For example, it concluded that more than a thousand contracts were each worth $34M, when in fact some were for as little as $35,000.

We took the latest version of $TSLA Full Self Driving (13.2.9) on a 33 mile test route in Santa Barbara and FSD made 7 safety critical errors and 12 driving errors in 80 minutes. If you think your Tesla is about to become your own personal robotaxi you are completely deluded.

🚨 Trump is creating a centralized database of ALL Americans' sensitive, personal data. 🚨Why should you care? This is not only an EXTREMELY dangerous precedent, but it would also make ALL of our personal data a prime target for our foreign adversaries. I sounded the alarm during E&C. Watch below ⬇️

Boasberg: "Absent this relief, the Government could snatch anyone off the street, turn him over to a foreign country, and then effectively foreclose any corrective course of action." An unassailable point. The fact that the U.S. government is fighting this tells you what you need to know.

Law enforcement officers should never cover their faces when making arrests or conceal their identities (unless they are working undercover). They work for us. We have a right to know who they are. These face coverings are frightening & unAmerican, as though they're ashamed of what they're doing.

Marie Harf nails it: Musk didn’t uncover waste—he fired Veterans, slashed Medicaid, and shut down aid to the world’s most vulnerable. Now China’s stepping in—and Republicans are stuck defending a billionaire with a chainsaw. This is the cost of cowardice.

Crucial from @mjtoma.bsky.social: Republicans want fiscal crises because it enables cutting the safety net and turns voters against public investment. It's amazing that the role of GOP presidents in exploding deficits still isn't widely understood. Good column: newrepublic.com/article/1959...

There's a lot of day-to-day economic noise. But to keep your eye on what really matters, ask yourself: What makes some countries rich, and others poor? And keep your eyes on those factors, because they're the ones that'll really matter in the long run.
