This ICE observer had her TSA-Pre-check revoked. www.courtlistener.com/docket/72047... "Three days after the interaction, on January 13th, I received an email notice that my Global Entry/TSA-Pre Check privilege for passing through airport security had been revoked."

AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

reminder to any ambitious Dems waiting in the wings: announcing a primary challenge right now to a squishy Democrat who’s up in 2026, whether they voted tonight to shine Trump’s shoes or not, will almost instantaneously be awash in cash. fortune—and a primary challenge—favors the bold.

The original Dem demands were: 1) Permanent ACA subsidies 2) Medicaid funding restored 3) No more blank checks for the regime (rescission) They dropped Medicaid immediately. Went silent on rescission. Cut back to 1 year of subsidies on Friday. And surrendered today. The Senate Democrats!

My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard. We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions. We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.

Schumer put the nail in his own coffin and the Democratic Leadership. It's done. Just a matter of time. Ditto Centrists. They have misread the moment and the rage of the people. Trump and MAGA will continue playing them because they know they are weak.

So this sounds weird to post but I wish @bsky.app and @skylight.social would send me more push notifications (that I could turn off of course), being like "you haven't posted in awhile." I generally don't want more notifications but also want to support ethical tech.

So much for the free speech commitments of thin skinned tech billionaires. They waited for a lame excuse to fire @karenattiah.bsky.social after she declined to take their buyout, which I knew they would do since they are nothing if not unsurprising, and here we are open.substack.com/pub/karenatt...

So, chiming in here to counter the haters. I’ve researched this for the past 2.5 years (for my app) and Scott is one of the only people to call out what’s happening. Young men are not alright and it’s largely systematic/cultural…so stop with the pull up by your boot straps. Have some compassion.

They just hate being called out. It's working. DNC's/Kamala's campaign's biggest mistake was to put a leash on Walz. His 'weird' rhetoric worked. Dems have gotten so used to toeing the line set by Republicans. Nice to not have a 'pickme' Dem stand up for something.

I'm not saying journalists should never interview admitted propagandists. There are journalistic reasons to do so. But if we do, we must be prepared to -- in fact it is our duty to -- challenge vociferously all unsubstantiated claims. Otherwise, we ourselves become propagandists.
