The LAPD union is spending millions to defeat a half cent sales tax that would fund firefighters www.latimes.com/california/s...

The Los Angeles Police Department's officer union said Tuesday it will oppose Measure FD, the half-cent sales tax measure on the Nov. 3 ballot pushed by the city firefighters' union - setting up a bitter and expensive clash between two of the city's most powerful unions.
The Police Protective League said it plans to spend several million dollars on broadcast and digital advertising as well as mailers to oppose Measure FD, which if approved by voters would direct hundreds of millions of dollars annually to the Fire Department to build new stations, hire firefighters and upgrade

This is the first OMB Director who, when you hear the President mention his name, you start pondering what illegal abuses of power will be coming soon. My guess: some systemic bribery efforts as well as punishments to blue states.

People forget that J6 was successful. Everyone who participated was let out of jail and the guy who perpetrated it is President again. There were no consequences. They have plenty of incentive to do a much bigger and worse version.

It's almost like putting a quack anti-vaccine conspiracy theorist in charge of the nation's health policy has consequences. "The United States has now had more measles deaths in the past two years than we have had in the previous three decades combined...": www.ms.now/news/pennsyl...

Pennsylvania’s measles outbreak is the largest in decades in the U.S.

The state has surpassed 1,000 measles cases this year, health officials said Monday, making it the largest outbreak in the U.S. in more than three decades.

Okay I've seen at least 2 posts today that describe Jim Bakker as "having an affair with his secretary" or "getting caught banging his secretary" and just...no. He got caught paying her off because he and another preacher *violently raped her*. That isn't an affair, or a simple "sex scandal".

I LOVE how @propublica.org dealt with official comment here, editorially and stylistically.

The Trump administration says none of this is happening.

"DHS is NOT arresting U.S. citizens by mistake." "There are no 'indiscriminate' stops." Allegations of "racial profiling are disgusting, reckless and categorically FALSE." "The pattern is NOT of law enforcement using force." "ICE does not zip tie or restrain children."

But that is precisely what is happening, and at a far larger scale than previously reported.

This is both bad, as it was in 2016, & also it's the only way to get to a grand bargain on SCOTUS reform. Fire with fire. The GOP could've made other choices, & Neil Gorsuch should never have accepted an illegitimate seat. But he did, so here we are. The norms & duct tape have already been shredded.

Great thread: social media didn’t do much connect cranks with each other; it made formerly hidden cranks visible. The shock has been the realization that our relatives, friends, neighbors, and employers turned out to be cranks at a rate we couldn’t possibly have imagined before.
