Please consider writing a comment on this proposed rule. It will affect potential legal challenges. The rule is an enormous threat to the federal economic statistical agencies and all other forms of civil service professionalism across every agency.

"Statistically, most news consumers are not protesting" is fucking brain dead. Statistically most news consumers are not doing any of the newsworthy things you report on!

20 million is about twice the highest estimates, and even if it were true it would not justify removing people without due process, let alone sending them to a gulag for life. The Constitution puts mandatory restraints on government to restrain amoral lickspittles like this bsky.app/profile/sky....

The "reporter" was Jordan Conradson of the racist conspiracy site The Gateway Pundit. Less than 24 hours ago, Conradson, who identifies as Korean-American, shared a social media post declaring: "White Lives Matter." Last year, he wore a "Kari Lake for US Senate" hat while covering her campaign.

ICE arrests at USCIS interviews are nothing new, but they have previously only been for deportable past criminal and/or immigration history. An arrest at a citizenship interview on the basis of nothing more than First Amendment protected speech and association brings us to a new level of alarm

When the “first hundred days” coverage starts, keep this in mind. FDR’s hundred days was a special session of Congress that passed legislation to enact his agenda. The story here is not how active the Trump administration’s been—it’s the unprecedented and unconstitutional consolidation of power.

WOW. They grabbed her off the street even while the State Department itself said that she had done nothing wrong.

The existence of definitive empirical studies showing that the nativist narrative is dead wrong hasn’t slowed the spread of the lies… but erasing the studies themselves is another step toward full fascism

This both is moral and also practically sound posturing and agenda setting if you care about workers in America and esp if you’re the leader of a noteworthy union with some political muscle and it is a shame that other big names in that sphere couldn’t seem to crack the very easy code on seeing that

What if a eulogy, but 80% funny (I hope)? If you want to skip the potentially sad parts, just click through and scroll to the bottom - and rather than condolences, please consider a donation to the tiny no-kill shelter in Tennessee where we met Greyson as a pup. www.cheriepriest.com/blog/the-wei...

Hey, go do this, please. I have health insurance through the ACA, and if this rule went into effect, it would mean that while I'd still be paying a ridiculous amount in premiums, the plans I'd be able to get wouldn't actually cover my health needs.

I once commented on how unfunny Mike Huckabee was, only to have his comedy coach attempt to defend him. I had tagged no one. The guy was regularly name searching. I know this because I recounted the story months later, again without tagging anyone, only to have him show up within an hour.

Democratic leaders should be having a press conference at FDIC Headquarters today, in which they explain its history and importance to ordinary Americans.

The Society for Historians of the Early American Republic is asking the public to help them track changes the Trump Admin is making to history-- in national parks, websites, wherever. Please share-- and please contribute! thepanorama.shear.org/2025/04/09/t...

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.

This is what happens when you ask me to indulge your false equivalencies about the Trump tariffs.

In this moment, universities (and the humanities in particular) still have assets of use -- especially their radio stations. Record 30-60 second spots explaining a tariff, a policy, or a program. Insert them as PSAs at your college station, or even into song rotation... there are lots of ways...

Not one of these EOs listed in this letter is valid. Notably, no statutory language is listed. The President’s agenda is not a statutory reason for termination. It really is just straight up lying and people should start just suing the government in the Court of Claims.

I genuinely thought the election was over when Musk said this, but it turns out nobody ever believes anything can go wrong.

Oh my god. They deported a man who an immigration judge had declared was "more likely than not" to face persecution in El Salvador ... to El Salvador, during the big March 15 AEA flights! They outright admit it! Yet the Trump admin's response to a court is basically "oops, well, no take backsies."
