I don't care if these monstrous ICE raids are a "federal operation". This is authoritarian violence, plain and simple. Just because Stephen Miller has kidnapping quotas for brown people he doesn't want to see on the street doesn't mean we have to think it's okay.

The federal government is moving to take over the California National Guard and deploy 2,000 soldiers. That move is purposefully inflammatory and will only escalate tensions.

Good to see that the exodus and humiliation of Paul Weiss continues.

Had some thoughts regarding the whole Abrego Garcia thing, how this proves they absolutely could have brought him back all along, combined with how weak the indictment appears to be.

Each week, The Contrarian selects an "Undaunted" individual working to defend democracy This week's spotlight: South Korea’s newly elected president, Lee Jae–Myung Lee’s story is inspiring on its own, but his defiance of authoritarianism make him a model for backsliding nations.

To pass a free and democratic world on to our children, we’re just being asked to take principled public stands, refuse to capitulate to corruption, and take collective action including with those with whom we disagree. We owe at least that much to those who 81 years ago were asked to do far more.

The craziest thing about this fight between Trump and Elon Musk is that Republicans are trying to take away health care from 16 million people to pay for tax cuts for billionaires.

Hahah. That sound you hear is me tearing up the (already too long) article I'd been working over the past week about Musk "leaving" the government...

Don’t much agree with Will, particularly when he’s in his climate denial mode, but I do here. Trump/Russia is a thing and it is dangerous and weird. Btw, the full McCain quote was “a gas station run by gangsters with an army.”

Don't be overwhelmed by Trump schadenfreude (Trumpenfreude?) to the point that you start thinking that Elon's a hero for criticizing him. Elon's still a dangerous lunatic who has done huge damage to the U.S. Now, enjoying the two of them locked in a pint-sized Godzilla vs. Mothra battle? Have at it.

WE'RE EXPOSING THEM: Trump thinks he's a king, and the GOP wants to crown him Buried in their ugly bill is a provision to restrict the power of judges to hold officials in contempt for violating court orders That would make it easier for Trump to defy the courts We'll use every tool to fight it

The woman who shouted "people will die" at Joni Ernst, India May, is a nurse and a librarian who first got involved in politics by going to a town hall about bills aiming to defund libraries. Now she's running for state house. eu.desmoinesregister.com/story/news/p...

Fact Checker by Glenn Kessler: The White House’s campaign against the Congressional Budget Office is veering into the ridiculous. What they call a “verifiable fact” is a nonsense fact.

This is really, really big news. Especially for the tens of thousands of federal employees impacted by DOGE cuts.

Musk may have left his gov post but I told @bloomberg.com his unconstitutional power grab still faces major legal heat The litigation won’t let up until he’s held accountable for what DOGE has done to our democracy
