There's a world where Dems won the House 218-217 in November and Rs now have a working majority bc Grijalva and Turner died. Sorry to be unsentimental but I just don't respect people who run for office in their 70s after cancer diagnoses. Move on. Spend time with your family.

It certainly looks like Elon Musk’s henchmen stole all the data from the agency which protects workers rights, tried to cover it up, and then threatened to kill the guy who blew the whistle on it.

This official MLB info on Jackie Robinson (!) strips all references to race, racism or the basic fact of the MLB once being segregated. They want to do this with all history because you can’t have a worldview based on bullshit lies about the present unless you have bullshit history that supports it.

This is so fucked up. ICE agents in Massachusetts smashed the window of a car to grab a Guatemalan guy who was with his wife. They were waiting for their lawyer to arrive because he has a pending asylum case. Story via @wcvb5.bsky.social: www.wcvb.com/article/ice-...

There’s just so much shady shit in this story, but this really sticks out. Folks in NLRB’s IT unit were so freaked out by what they saw DOGE doing that they wanted to notify the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency. Then this happened:

The DOJ lawyer who made the mistake of answering the court's questions about Abrego-Garcia candidly (eg yes he was mistakenly deported, a fact the Administration already has acknowledged), which got him put on administrative leave, has now been fired, ending his 15-year DOJ career..

The Blue Origin women..."positioning themselves as aspirational models of femininity – have presented a profoundly antifeminist vision of what womankind’s future is: dependent on men, confined to triviality, and deeply, deeply silly." @moiradonegan.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Seems bad. Also, I seem to remember a certain DOGE linked figure, the son of an industrialist who goes by the moniker of Bigballs, who had done some shady online business with people in Russia when he was a youth...i.e., 3 or 4 years ago.

there's so many layers of fraud and abuse in this story that "someone might have been trying to log into the NLRB's systems with a valid Doge username and password from russia" doesn't even make it into the first 5,000 words

1/4. On the White House’s theory, if they abduct you, get you on a helicopter, get to international waters, shoot you in the head, and drop your corpse into the ocean, that is legal, because it is the conduct of foreign affairs.

We've reached the point in our descent into fascism where the Jewish governor's house getting firebombed on Passover by a guy trying to bash his head in with a sledgehammer is overshadowed by the story of the President saying he wants to build foreign gulags for US citizens.

“Members of Congress don’t swear an oath to defend the Constitution only if it tests well in a focus group, or w/pundits and consultants. Nor does Republican opposition justify inaction. Refusing to do the right thing bc you expect others won’t join is just another form of complying in advance.”

About 1 in every 60 people in El Salvador is incarcerated. That is more than twice the runner up (Cuba, which is around the same ballpark of estimates for North Korea) and more than three times the notoriously high rate in the United States. It is about on par with the gulag population under Stalin.

“Trump is illegally disappearing people. He is proposing abducting Americans. He must be removed from power. He no longer has authority.” And honestly that’s the weak version of what Democrats should be saying.

What we all just witnessed had all the earmarks of a criminal conspiracy to deprive Abrego-Garcia of his constitutional rights, as well as an impeachable offense. The fraud scheme was a phony agreement engineered by the US to have Bukele say he lacks power to return Abrego Garcia and he won't do it.

WOW. The Trump admin is attempting to strip a green card from a Buddhist Palestinian who's committed to nonviolence, just because he advocated on behalf of Palestinian human rights. Free speech is being trampled on by this administration.

If the U.S. government is going to take the position that, once removed from the United States, folks can’t be brought back, then it sure seems to me that federal courts should be reflexively and categorically barring all removals until they’re 100 percent certain that the removals are lawful.

And that no matter how bad things get, surely it in no way reflects any fundamental change in how the country works. Trump is only ever an aberration. The government failures are oversights & accidents. The gulags are getting out over one's skis. This can't be something real & big & dangerous.

This isn’t doomerism. This is reality. This is the whole constitutional ballgame. I need y’all to understand that. For Bukele to say this while the president smirks knowingly should be the end of the Trump regime. Trump must be impeached and he must be expelled. This is bigger than everything else.

We're in The Bad Place, folks. The existence of an overseas gulag to which you - yes, you personally - can be sent with no recourse marks the end of a whole period of American history. There's no going back after this. Even if these guys are defeated, the new order will have to look much different.

Here's Trump saying to Bukele that "homegrown criminals are next" and talking about how El Salvador will need to build "about five more places."
