There is in fact no way to make a case for a moral or political obligation to have children that does not degrade the status and dignity of women by claiming ownership their bodies as instruments for collective use.

This is what its like to work in the Trump administration now. When a career official objected to declaring that living immigrants were dead on legal and ethical grounds, security guards went to his office and told him to leave. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Col. Susannah Meyers got fired for telling the truth about JD Vance’s Arctic clown show. Meanwhile, the Pentagon's mouthpiece is a domestic abuse defendant, and Trump’s plan is to bribe Greenlanders with $10K/year.

BREAKING from @science.org: The Trump admin is seeking to kill nearly all climate research at NOAA, its climate science agency. Its near-final budget proposal would end all NOAA research labs, academic institutes, and regional climate centers. And it wants to fully end the NOAA Research division.

Discourse Resolved: The Democrats need to propose programs to help people with tariff pain that are large enough that the GOP will never support them, allowing them to claim that they tried while also not running the risk of Trump getting the credit for them

Years ago, one of my professors cut off a fellow student who was waxing poetic about people being "of" their time with respect to chattel slavery. He said: 'do you know who knew that enslavement was evil and morally disgusting? ENSLAVED AFRICANS.' Were they not of their time too? At 18, that stuck.

Federal spending is up under Trump according to the Wall Street Journal. Chaos is not actually the same as cost savings. Actual budgeting is a kind of actual policy-making and takes real work spread over real time. Running around breaking stuff isn't that. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

“a heavy workload for his entire staff” is so insulting, for a man whose substack and podcasts and books will never involve 1/1000th of the research and fact-checking that John Oliver’s staff does

This is a really dumb idea. You have to make Republicans own the pain they're causing, not take partial ownership of it yourself. There's no political upside here. If Republicans want to do this, give them your votes in exchange for massive concessions. Otherwise no.

Wow. This is the full document submitted by Rubio against Mr. Khalil invoking INA 237(a)(4)(C). The standard in immigration court is extremely deferential; a judge must accept this so long as it is “facially reasonable and bona fide.” But this is so threadbare that it might not even satisfy that.

I am apoplectic about this. The first thing you say about Ted Bundy is that he killed women, and then if you really feel like it you can talk about how charming he was or whatever. The first thing you say about RFK is that he’s pro-measles.

why is every newspaper/programme running with the headline "tariffs are paused" when they haven't been. What's happened is that every country (except China) gets a flat rate of 10% for 90 days.

The 10% tariff alone is a $2500 per household annual tax hike!

Biggest mistakes I'm seeing in early reporting (thread): 1. Tariffmageddon isn't over: Lotsa tariffs to account for, but the average tariff rate is only down around one quarter. So most of the pain of Liberation Day is still with us.

The Dem position should be "absolutely not." If Trump wants to keep his tariffs then helping farmers means restoring USAID, restoring all the food assistance grants/contracts killed by DOGE, and expanding programs like SNAP. We're not going to hand out money to watch food rot.

This is big: House Republicans tucked language into the budget res “rule” that bans the House from voting to terminate Trump’s emergency declaration used to impose tariffs. TL;DR lawmakers who vote for this are officially giving up their power to revoke his tariffs until October.

Just popped in to make sure we understand at this point (to everyone's detriment) "antisemitism" as used by the United States government has become a nonsense word, and a stand-in to excuse whatever illegal and unconstitutional behavior they want to deploy.

This is precisely why I harp on the negative influence of reactionary centrists so often: Exaggerating the radicalism of the left gives voters permission to support the radicalism of the right. If both candidates are deranged fascist liars, why not support the one that's gonna cut your taxes?

1) No Dem should ever say they agree with Trump on anything. Zero upside, immense downside. 2) It's more likely voters start resenting American manufacturers—"why are the rest of us suffering for the 4.7% employed in manufacturing?"—than they develop a positive attitude towards these tariffs.

I've never been a Treasury secretary, so what would I know, but I reckon transparently lying about easily checked facts won't calm fears in the market, or the broader population.

I'm devastated and heartbroken. Staff at the U.S. Global Change Research Program (USGCRP) got the ax. Most likely means the Sixth National Climate Assessment (NCA6) is also cooked. USGCRP was the glue across the Federal family on all things climate - reducing duplication and making efficiencies.
