law professors have been unable to understand why people are actually concerned about this case. it’s not about nationwide injunctions per se, it’s about a court that waited until the issue hurt the GOP, and then intervened on behalf of one of the most egregious constitutional violations we’ve seen

Zohran Mamdani’s win has inspired over 3400 young people to raise their hands to run for office just since Tuesday. It’s now @runforsomething.net’s biggest candidate recruitment moment since the election. A new generation of leaders is here.

I miss having a human president.

Alina Habba: parking lot lawyer extraordinaire and political persecutor not prosecutor

You can report possible illegals posing as Trump supporters here

Damn‼️ Federal agents blew a door off for this? Federal agents blasted their way into an LA home where Jenny Ramirez lives with her boyfriend and two kids. She heard the blast while checking on her 6-year-old, with her 1-year-old in her arms. Ramirez says everyone in the home is a U.S. citizen. 🧵

An addled president is shredding the Constitution to usher in white nationalism and fascism while destroying the economy and our health care, so if you’re going to write an alarmist op-ed because a mayoral candidate might open five (5) city-run grocery stores, you can kindly get bent.

Monstrous: "They were crying in fear. One of the agents at one point lifted up his shirt, which displayed the gun that he was carrying....The 6-year-old boy was terrified to see the gun. He urinated on himself and wet all his clothing. No one offered him a change of clothing for many hours."

I cosign this sentiment 100% and think it's very helpful for when you think about some of the fawning but detailed coverage in the NYT versus more critical coverage in many other outlets that's sometimes thinner.

How do we turn Uncle Bobby's Wedding into something more symbolic? How do we Streisand effect this book, making kids seek it out to spite their parents?

this court says that allowing EPA to regulate carbon emissions is a "major question" that demands congressional debate. but allowing the president to, with a flick of the wrist, end a straightforward constitutional right is something that must be allowed to stand?

The left better start figuring out how to weaponize today's decision rather than just (rightfully) criticizing it. - Go back into Judge Kaczmaryk's court to dissolve all of his nationwide orders. - Pass gun bans and insist any order applies only to plaintiffs.

It’s a huge failure of the education system and the media that so many Americans think that rural areas subsidize urban ones and not the other way around.

Amid allegations of inhumane and unsanitary conditions in ICE facilities, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is taking further steps to continue skirting congressional oversight. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Normal dude saying normal shit.

FOX: “The final read for Q1 GDP was -0.5%… the first negative read we've actually clocked since Q1 of 2022.“

Canadian victims of the Trump regime have witnessed and documented first hand the inhumane conditions ICE keeps its victims, subjecting them to psychological and mental torture and degrading living standards. Many victims are kept locked up for months and even years. #StopICE

Yes, I agree — it would be terrible. Please do NOT share this information!!!

CEO compensation graphed next to employee compensation. 🙃

This will be in attack ads next year alongside ppl who have lost their healthcare

It should go without saying but historically people who propose denaturalization are not, as my grandfather would say, good for the Jews

I mean it might as well be written by the New York Post, Bezos has hollowed it out so thoroughly. Who's even left on the editorial board? His phone-hacking editor-in-chief? Libertarian 2x4 enthusiast Megan McArdle? World's stupidest human Marc Thiessen? Bow-tied relic George Will?

A fresh recruit from Fox raging about the press “manipulating the public mind” may put me into an irony coma.

remember when Elon Musk straight up performed a Nazi salute, twice, on stage, and the NYT was like "hmm, huh, what can this mean, who can say"

NEW: Records of hundreds of emergency calls from ICE detention centers obtained by WIRED—including audio recordings—show a system inundated by life-threatening incidents, delayed treatment, and overcrowding. Unpaywalled from @dell.bsky.social and @dmehro.bsky.social:

“ICE” bounty hunters made this possible. By making it easy to cosplay as federal agents: masked faces, no visible ID, no official vehicles, and gear that any yahoo can buy on Amazon. They look like criminals! 🚨 Man arrested who pretended to be an ICE agent while committing a robbery in Houston.

A win! Thank you to everyone who spoke out! After facing bipartisan resistance, the Senate Parliamentarian, ruled that Sen. Mike Lee’s proposal to sell off millions of acres of federal land cannot be included under reconciliation rules.

RFK Jr. has just appointed another anti-vax liar to the CDC. Lyn Redwood, former head of the same misinformation factory that paid RFK Jr. to lie about vaccines, will now work at the CDC. Every day it gets worse. The U.S. government is subjecting Americans to a disinformation campaign.

MERKLEY: How do you feel about being responsible for hundreds of thousands of kids dying because of your sudden interruption in these key programs? VOUGHT: I reject the assertion MERKLEY: I find your response both ignorant & callous. Few Americans have had a more devastating & disastrous impact

Here's a fun thing that a top donor to Andrew Cuomo's super PAC just told me.

For those with a hangover from yesterday's Hannan Day celebrations. Good Morning.

Everyone is focusing on Bove’s “f*** you” comment but not enough attention being given to the other bombshell in the WB, which is the premeditated violation of the Mass. district court injunction and subsequent cover up, the same injunction which SCOTUS stayed on Monday 1/

shoutout to these 4 hasids who voted for zohran

A full investigation must be done into Pam Bondi and Emil Bove And who gave them their marching orders.

And then this shit just came out. When you’re making over $700k a year, gaining $12k is nothing. It’s a nice vacation, redoing the garage, giving a niece/nephew a car. When you’re making $23k a year, losing $1600 is “are we paying for food or for the house or for medical bills” territory.
