"James Talarico has to say anti-trans things in order for him to win" is so utterly divorced from basic reality. It didn't help Colin Allred win when he did the same thing in 2024 and, based on polling, it hasn't resulted in Talarico increasing his polling numbers whatsoever.

Last month, a Google alert directed me to an interview I did with cartoonist Matt Furie—creator of Pepe the Frog…only I haven’t done any interview and I’d never even met Furie. So I clicked. "None of this is true": AI, content farms, and one completely made-up article. bsky.app/profile/then...

The main reason you haven’t heard about campus sexual violence in a few years is because Trump and SCOTUS have made it much, much harder for survivors to come forward. You might vaguely remember that Title IX was a big battleground in his first term. And that we lost.

This is a common lie from DHS press flacks. They claim that people who came through CBP One — who registered for an appointment through a government app, went to a port of entry, and were issued a grant of humanitarian parole by a CBP officer letting them enter — "entered illegally." Total nonsense.

Aside from the naked imperialism here, and cash grab, he admits it’s a war. A war without UN or congressional approval. A war which Rubio denied was a war and claimed was a law enforcement action. Trump as ever undermines his own people’s claims. It was a war. An illegal imperial one.

The government moving or hiding jailed people to avoid review by courts isn't some loophole in our habeas corpus rights. This government behavior has been considered a violation of the people's habeas corpus rights since at least the Habeas Corpus Act of 1679. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Habeas_...
Jailors were forbidden to move prisoners from one prison to another or out of the country to evade the writ. In case of disobedience jailers would be punished with severe fines which had to be paid to the prisoner.[5][6]
