So, the WH Deputy Chief of Staff says they're looking at suspending habeas and the mayor of a major city is arrested for seeking further information about possible ICE abuses in his city. In the past hour or two. We're already a police state but are teetering at the edge of something worse.

I didn’t give a wit about new pope coverage, but the first American pope being a man with Black ancestry born in Chicago by way of New Orleans by way of Haiti. Names his self after the pope who condemned slavery? In the Trump era? Oh, baebae, I am HERE for it. www.wwltv.com/article/news...

What historic deal is Keir Starmer talking about? Y'all negotiated from 10% to 10% and you think this is historic? And it's tentative! While Trump supporters are the dumbest motherfuckers on the planet, it hard for me to believe Brits are going to swallow the conman's vomit. 😂🤣

Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost, a native of Chicago who is now the first American-born pope, has spent most of his career outside of the U.S, ministering to the dispossessed and marginalized. The “Latin Yankee,” as he is known in Rome, worked 20 years in Peru.

What to watch for w/trade deal: a.) Is there really a deal? Or is it top line w/details unresolved. b.) Is deal consequential? (It really can't be w/the UK.) c.) Will Congress approve it? (The president has no power to approve such deals.) d.) Will deal achieve any of Trump's goals behind tariffs?

Duckworth on if she's open to voting to confirm Mike Waltz: "I think everybody on that Signal chain needs to be fired ... he's failing up ... I'm not open to voting for him, no, because he's already demonstrated he's incapable of doing the most basic thing, which is handling classified information."

I love John Oliver, and I loved Sunday's episode, but one nitpick: It grated on me badly when Oliver referred to David Geier as a "vaccine skeptic." Geier is not a skeptic. He is a longtime antivax activist and producer of bad science and pseudoscience regarding vaccines and autism.

Virginia Giuffre, one of the most prominent Epstein victims who also alleged she was sexually trafficked to Prince Andrew, has died. She was 41. Her family on Saturday issued a statement confirming she took her own life at her farm in Western Australia, where she had lived for several years.

Virginia Giuffre survived Jeffrey Epstein’s trafficking network, fought for justice, and became a voice for so many. Today, that light is gone. The toll of abuse never truly ends, even when the headlines do. Honor her by fighting for those still unheard. Rest in power, Virginia.

If we’re serious about more efficient government and better everyday life in America - which we all should be - that means actually improving government, not cutting health care for poor people and slashing support for veterans.

I'm not sure if every single one of NYC's 8.2 million residents would make a better mayor than either Eric Adams or Andrew Cuomo. But I bet half of them would. Which is to say if there were a ballot with ranked choice voting for candidates 1 to 4 million, I'd still leave both of them off my ballot.
