Your daily reminder this should be the biggest scandal in American politics right now but nobody seems to care. Ken Paxton freed a man who raped a boy for 3 years. He also doesnt have to register as a sex offender. www.texastribune.org/2026/05/19/k...

Inside Ken Paxton’s plea deal for a child sex abuse case
Critics are pointing to two other serious felony cases that the attorney general’s prosecutors took to trial that ended in mistrials and, eventually, plea deals.

OK, the Maine senate race is going to be between a rapey kind of man and a woman who promotes rapey kinds of men to a lifetime position of breathtaking power on the Supreme Court. There is no voting without holding one's nose in this race.

Now that Platner has won the primary, I want to be clear. When I said “vote blue no matter who” in 2016, 2020, and 2024, I meant it. I’m worried about Platner, but if you say “vote blue no matter who” in Maine, I hope you’ll extend the same courtesy to other Dems. I hope we beat Collins.

Great news: the courts will have a chance to rein in the abuses at Camp East Montana, the infamous tent camp built on Fort Bliss in El Paso. I have known seasoned veterans of this field who visited the camp and came away saying it was one of the worst ICE detention centers they’d ever been to.

ICE sued over “inhumane” conditions at Camp East Montana
The El Paso tent camp has seen at least three detainee deaths, a measles outbreak and nearly 50 detention standards violations in less than a year of operation.

Sounds like things are not going well in Orange County, California, where 10,000 people have been told to evacuate because of a toxic chemical leak at the GKN Aerospace facility.
New York Times: Craig Covey, an incident commander with the Orange County Fire Authority, said in a video update that the most compromised tank at the facility contains about 7,000 gallons of a toxic chemical and has started to bulge — a sign of potential crisis.

ICE has now carried out two summary executions of innocent people in the streets of an American city. If you work for ICE, there's no denying that's the mission you're supporting now. You don't get to claim in one year or ten or twenty that you didn't know what ICE was doing. You're complicit.

Videos verified by The New York Times show Alex Jeffrey Pretti, the man federal agents shot and killed in Minneapolis on Saturday, was holding a phone, not a gun, when the agents took him to the ground and shot him. In total, at least 10 shots appear to have been fired within five seconds.

The newest video shows very clearly that they attacked him for coming to an aid of a woman that the agents pushed, and then executed him while he was immobilized. Everything the government has said, like with Good, has been a complete lie.

I often think of a line in a book I read years ago where the author said that we should be more precise and never just call hypocrisy what should better be called authoritarianism. And we see that on display with Republicans all the time. Hypocrisy is always actually just evidence of hierarchy.

Alex Pretti "used to tell people off when they made sexist comments to female physicians. He bought me coffee when I had a really bad day as an intern...I laughed alongside him daily. He made a point to teach medical residents without judgement, but with a smile on his face and a joke."
