NEW: Fourth Circuit shoots down the Trump administration’s efforts to appeal Judge Xinis’s order requiring it to facilitate the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. “We shall not micromanage the efforts of a fine district judge attempting to implement the Supreme Court’s recent decision.”

Polls just closed in Wisconsin. If you're in line and reading Bluesky, I'm guessing you already know that you should stay in line.

Thurmond was the same age as Booker when he set the record Senator Cory Booker just broke. Thurmond was afforded a bathroom break and read from the encyclopedia. Booker held the floor the entire time and delivered a consistent, cogent speech for more than 24 hours. Incredible.

Senator Corey Booker blew past S. Thurm-bag’s “record”. How long was Sen. Booker’s filibuster? It looks to me like about 24:40. Where’s the exact number?

One major sign that the Democratic party is run by the wrong people is that the willingness of current leadership to deny leadership posts to AOC is inversely related to the enormous energy and enthusiasm of crowds she draws across the country and her ability to pinpoint exactly what we need to do.

Also if you feel strongly about Eric Adams, you should call your city councilmember to express that and ask for their position. You’d be surprised. Hochul’s stance is highly disappointing but it doesn’t come from nowhere. Press all your electeds. City elections are in 5 months. Ask candidates too.

Backstage after the ushers told me that some audience members were asking if “the handsome cellist would be playing this concert”! 😂

This is how you say “go fuck yourself sideways with a porcupine” in inspector general speak. Going to be interesting to see how the administration responds

In case you missed the good news today. Trump will be sentenced tomorrow. The appeals court ruled that the Jack Smith report can be released.

The first major race of 2025 is fast approaching—and the implications are enormous. This election will determine the balance of the Wisconsin Supreme Court. Susan Crawford is fighting to preserve her seat while her opponent, rightwing extremist Brad Schimel, is trying to grab the tie-breaking vote.

This makes me so sad and angry. Birmingham is the UK’s second biggest city. This is a national disgrace. Screenshot btw from the Birmingham Dispatch, a great new venture in making local news richer and move away from clickbait ad traffic nonsense. www.birminghamdispatch.co.uk

I don't think people understand the gravity of making librarians and teachers *criminally liable* for disseminating information. Fascist shit, from a known playbook. No one has the luxury of being surprised anymore.
