99% of the time, the people who end up getting barged in on by police and security guards with transgender bathroom bans are cisgender lesbian women. Bathroom bans don't work because you can't tell whose trans by looks alone. Anyway. Many such cases.

Pete Buttigieg lays it out: Trump’s picking agency heads who have no clue what they’re doing. Hegseth leaks classified info. His Ed Secretary thinks AI is “A1.” This isn’t leadership—it’s a risk to the country.

New in PN: Mike Waltz and government by sycophantic clowns "The sycophancy and the personnel failures are of course intertwined. Trump surrounds himself with craven toadies and believes the sole function of his advisors and cabinet officials should be to crawl on their bellies before King Trump."

No one could have predicted that naming a no-bid Trump admin project “Golden Dome” and giving it to an especially influential Trump donor and major contractor who also happens to have been given a position in the government was asking for trouble.

I suspect Donald is about to do something really heinous. This Waltz news is a big shiny nugget for all the media to obsess over. Watch what else happens in the next few days.

This is a big deal—not just a process-based ruling, but a holding that Trump’s Alien Enemy Act proclamation is substantively invalid on its face. This will obviously not be the last word, but it’s a really important step in the AEA litigation.

Holy crap. Here are 91 pages of letters that 14 House Democrats just sent to the nine law firms that have paid off Trump to not attack them. Lots of Qs aimed at sorting out if they violated federal bribery/anti-fraud/racketeering laws. min.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

Over the next two weeks, SCOTUS is hearing three religious supremacy cases — cases backed by Jonathan Mitchell (think, Texas's S.B. 8), the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty (think, Hobby Lobby), and Alliance Defending Freedom (think, 303 Creative and mifepristone). Do not sleep on these cases.

Andry Hernandez Romero, the Venezuelan makeup artist sent to a notorious Salvadoran prison, claimed asylum in the US because he was persecuted as a gay man. Chris Van Hollen met in El Salvador with Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Andry lived in San Diego—why hasn’t Alex Padilla or Adam Schiff met with him? 🤨

When I said that a 54-year-old U.S. citizen was detained by ICE, MAGA said no big deal. Then, Kilmar Abrego Garcia was erroneously deported, and MAGA says "you always pick one person." It's not one person. We learn about someone new practically everyday at this point.
