So Trump said today he was “joking” when he said he was going to end the war in 24 hours? Does he sound like he’s joking here?

Indiana state legislature just staged a hostile takeover of IU, functionally eliminating tenure, promising to close smaller (hum) majors, taking over the IU board, and cutting the IU budget. This is so bleak

It's 4:54PM EST on Friday. In 2001, a soap opera titled 'Passions' made one of the all-time best mentions of CPSC in the history of the television medium. We do not have a clip we can share, but it was Episode 537 which aired August 8, 2001 and if you can find the moment, it will spark joy.

Don’t let the arrest of a Federal Judge distract you from the announcement that ICE can enter anyone’s home without a warrant to look for migrants.

Almost nobody is ok with it. But was it on your local news today? If not, nobody is going to know about it in order to not be OK with it. Ppl oppose almost everything this administration is doing, when they’re told what those things are. But most people aren’t!

One of the wilder political things in recent history is that Project 2025 publicly released a 900 page document laying out their plans to roll back 100 years of human progress and then during the campaign Republicans just said "no we're not :)" and then they won and now they're doing it all.

Walz: Here in Minnesota, freedom means several things. It means freedom from hunger and poverty. That means freedom to worship or not. It means the freedom to be who you are anyway you choose, and that is a birthright..

My blood is boiling. This is appalling. Andry, the makeup artist deported to Trump’s foreign prison in El Salvador - without due process and under false pretenses - hasn’t been heard from in weeks. Members of Congress who went to El Salvador asked for proof that he’s alive. This is a crisis.

It's a high bar, but this from @radleybalko.bsky.social might be one of the most fucked up things I've read in the new Trump era. For context, this TX lawyer had just had an informal conversation with a family caught up in ICE raids. Seriously. Read this. radleybalko.substack.com/p/the-courag...
