Ossoff: "I think Pete Hegseth is frankly a deeply unwell person who seems to relish this kind of brutality all the while he's running a department that is falling into chaos. The guy cannot run the military competently and is spending his time with this kind of obscene medieval spectacle."

The Trump administration has quietly announced that its own lawyers will represent unaccompanied migrant children in immigration court, facing off against other administration lawyers who are trying to deport the kids.

I think the social reproduction of capital requires immense, almost hallucinatory belief. You need to believe this is the freest country in the world, or that punching a clock for 40 years is the key to wealth and comfort, or some such thing. You need to *believe* that.

The political challenge of my adulthood is that, every 7-8 years, something takes a sledgehammer to one of the pillars of the postwar consensus and roughly doubles the ambient apathy / despair / solipsism of a system that requires true believers to operate.

The problem? No federal official can seize control of election administration from the states and counties, who hold the power run elections under the U.S. Constitution.

How is it not news when the president nods off in public meetings and press conferences dozens of times? If you follow independent media, you see it and know about it. But why hasn’t CBS, NBC or ABC showed a montage of it on their evening news? They simply refuse to ever show it.

We know this moment is particularly difficult for survivors. I want to be very clear: you deserve to be safe and our administration supports you at every turn.

The allegations in the Cornell sexual assault case are deeply disturbing and gut-wrenching. Cornell University has failed this survivor.

I fully support Governor Hochul's decision to name Attorney General James as special prosecutor in this case and look forward to the complete and extensive investigation that is to come. 

Accountability and justice cannot simply be values, they must also be delivered.
