When Kennedy says he recommends MMR, he's lying. This is what he really thinks. x.com/wideawake_me...

Welp they're doing the Roosevelt Reservation crazy strategy, giving the military "jurisdiction" over a 60-foot-wide stretch of land from CA to AZ, authorizing troops to detain migrants for "trespassing on military property," thus trying to bypass the Posse Commitatus Act. It's bad and dumb, folks.

I still don't understand why SCOTUS just lets DOJ say that sending immigrants to a brutal foreign prison with no due process is "foreign policy." It really isn't! It turns an easy due process case into a much more difficult separation of powers case. (Hey -- maybe I just answered my own question!)

This is naked corruption that uses federal policy to pour money into the pockets of the President's largest campaign donor. Forcing the nation's 70-some million Social Security recipients to sign up for the website owned by a Nazi saluting billionaire is outrageous.

weird, what could explain this

OMG love that they finally interviewed this guy. Thanks to @itstygrey.bsky.social for having started us down this path in doing a reverse image search on the tattoos in the "TdA intelligence report."

Oooh, I've got some anti-Christian bias to report; the current administration that targeting Catholics and Lutherans who work with migrants.

WHOA. Trump will strip Temporary Protected Status from thousands of AFGHANS, at a time when the Taliban is fully in control of the country and carrying out total oppression. If any country deservers TPS, it's obviously Afghanistan! We're going to send women back there to be treated as property?

Great news, everyone. A surveillance company started by Peter Thiel is part of the hackathon playing with our data at IRS. www.wired.com/story/palant...

WOW. ICE essentially admits to having fraudulently obtained a criminal warrant against Columbia University for an "investigation" for "harboring" undocumented immigrants while seeking to arrest Yunseo Chung, who has a green card! You can't "harbor" someone here legally!

Dear 20 Republicans: If you act now to remove Trump and Vance, and promote either a Trustee administration of President Jeffries and VP Thune, or President Harris (bwo President Jeffries resigning to VP Harris) you can save the world.

New EO to promote energy (corporations) over conservation. Impacts to FWS: (i) For the FWS, this order applies to all regulations issued pursuant to the following statutes and any amendments thereto: (i) the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act; (ii) the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918;

New federal mandate for US households to kill at least 4 kittens a year.

I cannot scream loud enough

Not only useful information, but a thread with very good alt text for the data visualizations provided.

Recap: *Vance insulted our NATO ally Denmark in bizarre bid to take over Greenland *Commander on the ground says his comments did not reflect the working relationship btw US and Denmark *She is fired The mildest pushback against their authoritarian fantasies is enough www.bbc.com/news/article...

Another huge breakthrough in our understanding of how the administration has implemented the Alien Enemies Act. I think it’s worth underlining that the press has consistently moved this story forward and has done so much to advance what we know.

1) yes absolutely, at a collective level, horrifying and bad. 2) at an individual level, I can guarantee you that some of these people are at _relatively_ low risk of retaliation, and are allowing their desire to avoid risk at all to stop them from speaking up for those at more risk.

Let this be a reminder that “Not Ready To Make Nice” is a banger.

The Smart People said "Abolish ICE" was too radical. Then ICE kidnapped students, sent innocent people to a mega prison, broke into a car to take a mom from her daughter, and tried questioning elementary kids while lying that they had parents permission. Ask yourself: which part is more "radical"?

American businesses shouldn't be punished just because they found a cheaper place to prototype and manufacture. That's just called "capitalism".

The Republican House just voted to suppress tens of millions of votes. Call your Senators to vote NO. www.youtube.com/watch?v=nZoc...

if youre stunned by this you dont know neal at all, I'm sorry. a man who can defend child slavery can work for most things, for a check.

For 75 years, every time any U.S. state has requested epidemiologic assistance (an “Epi-Aid”), CDC sent disease detectives. Now, Wisconsin has asked for help to address newly discovered lead poisoning in Milwaukee. But all CDC experts in lead poisoning were just fired.

Are your senators on this list? Let these Democrats know they’re letting you down. 👇

Science does not work like this. The only way you can set a timeline is if you have rigged the results in advance.

With the SAVE act passing through the house I would like to remind everyone that it took the Taliban only 3 years to ban women from speaking #waronwomen #SAVEact

NEW VIDEO: The U.S. House of Representatives passed a major voter suppression bill that would disenfranchise millions of eligible voters and badly undermine democracy. Paige and I break it down. youtu.be/XS8aePRgFU4?...

NEWS: Chief Justice John Roberts *is* aware there is a matter before him about a man who was improperly sent to a prison in El Salvador. Per the court, Roberts has denied the request from Kilmar Abrego Garcia's lawyers to file a sur-reply — a reply responding to DOJ's reply — in the matter.

Not sure what to make of it, but Chief Justice Roberts just denied Abrego Garcia’s motion to file this👇reply (called a “sur-reply”—an additional response to the government). At a minimum, not a GREAT omen.

NEW: Rümeysa Öztürk says she's had 4 painful asthma attacks in ICE custody, and not only is her asthma going untreated but a nurse tore off her hijab, saying, "You need to take that thing off your head." www.aclum.org/sites/defaul...

This feels like some sort of sign.. a portent...

“[the administration] has not developed a new way to mark people as being ineligible for benefits. For now the immigrants added are being given supposed dates of death, according to two people familiar with the processs…’It’s tantamount to financial murder,’ Mr. O’Malley said.” [gift link] .

Elon Musk's "DOGE" has fired National Highway Traffic Safety Administration workers, including many in the office of vehicle automation safety, according to the Financial Times.

A second kid just died of measles.

BREAKING — All FDIC employees just received an email confirming DOGE presence at the agency. "The DOGE team has neither requested nor been granted access to sensitive bank information." We'll see how long that remains true. Text of email shared with me:

With new Executive Orders targeting Chris Krebs (senior official who helped keep 2020 election secure) and law firm that won $788m settlement against Fox News. A must read from Weds, by Harold Koh. Discussing amicus brief signed by esteemed bipartisan former officials. Also a great history lesson

This is why you never capitulate. This would be the end of Columbia university. It would be a testing ground for the direct fascist takeover of private universities by a dictator. www.wsj.com/us-news/educ...
