Worst Voltron ever

Well this couldn’t have come at a better time www.bbc.com/news/article...

Have to admit, this reads like a dare

Outside immigration court in Chicago this morning, community rally in the rain in support of Ramon Morales-Reyes, a Milwaukee man snatched by ICE and accused of writing a letter threatening President Trump. There's just one problem: the letter was fake. Another man is now accused of forging it.

This is of course calibrated for attention, since the explainer is "factory farming uses a lot of water" but data centers get mentioned for no reason other than engagement. But they should be more bold. Come out against cheeseburgers and milk like you want to in your heart, Bloomberg!

I use it very deliberately to link the current moment to COVID! Thank you. I’ve been thinking on that rupture for awhile:

Let’s talk for a moment about some of the more subtle ways that the press acts as a mouthpiece for law enforcement. Actor Jonathan Joss was shot to death on Sunday. I don’t know what happened; I wasn’t there. But his husband said a homophobic neighbor shot him as part of an explicit hate crime. /1

"The beatings will continue . . . Yeah, that's all I've got to say."

HASSETT : There might even be one now, George. Look in your pocket! <STEPHANOPOULOS looks down> <HASSETT ducks out of frame> HASSETT: Ta-da!

Fit for the closet

Judge roasts Trump admin on Columbia student: "You've got to be kidding" A write up of today's remarkable federal court hearing in Yunseo Chung's case, @AllRiseNews.com www.allrisenews.com/p/yunseo-chu...

IRS’s Direct File wasn't open source while it was being developed. But somebody just made it public!

Some women want love. Some seek power and money. Some seek attention and fame. Me? I just want to know who the administrator of DOGE really is. My manifesto, my magnum opus—“The WITAOD Chronicles”—is out now. ⬇️ 👇 www.lawfaremedia.org/article/the-...

Ackman Acktivated!

Narrator: It was not.

Dressing like a guy in Andor now. My shirt collar is also part of my jacket somehow. My tie is some kind of strap. I have two capes on.

Narrator: they didn't

NEW: Judge Murphy, sounding MAD, rejects the Trump admin's request to reverse his order to give due process to deportees on their way to South Sudan, saying that they are "manufacturing the very chaos they decry." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Dunce

I find it hard to reconcile these two paragraphs. Would the NLRB be protected if it had a *larger* mandate? Like, if monetary policy is beyond the executive, then couldn't labor policy be too? You can't take *some* executive power, but you *can* take *all* of it? www.nytimes.com/2025/05/23/o...
