This is so unabashedly bigoted that it would be completely unacceptable on any other network and probably result in an on-air apology. But also it's very stupid? You want to subvert America so you … join the Senate? One of the least functional entities in America? OK. bsky.app/profile/atru...

I know America. I know that, in America, we believe in a country big enough for all of us. So, JD Vance, don't you dare come from Ohio to lecture me. You don't know a damn thing about America.

I always have mixed feelings about these images. Yes, it's inspiring to see these college students committed to democracy, but the fact that they have to do anything remotely difficult to exercise their voting rights is enraging. Taking part in a democracy should be as easy as possible.

finally going to watch "MUSK" with my friends in the theater tonight, more than three years after getting my first call from Alex Gibney, and I have to say: the last 24 hours of news (especially the "flying roadster" spectacle and Ukraine Starlink backstab) are the perfect context for this film

A Scaramucci is ten days (july 21-31). Zacharia was appointed on Oct 9 and lasted till October 16. So a Zacharia is seven days, or 7/10ths of a Scaramucci.

Out of practice people are kind of revolted by not getting results all at once but for much of the 19th Century states had elections on different days in the fall, so a rolling election day isn't totally out of line with our history.

This year, federal agents terrorized our streets, killed our neighbors, and detained our children. Minnesotans were changed forever. Michele Tafoya thinks ICE treats kids “really well.” I think ICE should be ripped apart and replaced by a system grounded in dignity and due process.

I'm going to say one more thing about this. A meta-thing, if you will. I think legal commentators with elite legal backgrounds (all of them, not just Steve) need to reckon with the fact that they have a personal interest in maintaining the panache of their credentials.

I don't know what to tell you—history IS political. It tells the story of how & why the present & its systems came into being. If you're out here saying history is not political, you're either being duped by those in power or you're one of the bad actors.

Of course Katie Zacharia was once part of a multi-level-marketing program for "Beachbody," a fitness company with a history of colorful legal woes. She described the program to us as "sort of a pyramid scheme." Scoop from @timmarchman.bsky.social & I www.wired.com/story/white-...

White House Press Secretary Katie Zacharia Was an Affiliate Marketer for a Fitness MLM

Trump's newly installed press secretary tells WIRED that in the early 2010s, she promoted a product for a company then called Beachbody, which she described as “sort of a pyramid scheme.”

strategic political capture of the court has, for 40 years, been a one-way ratchet. among other things, this has inculcated a sense among conservatives that they can act with virtual impunity. showing them that their opponents will play hardball is a necessary first step toward a better status quo.

The federal government is going after Ilhan Omar only because of her race, gender, religion, and party, openly admitting they have no probable cause and aim to manufacture something. Worse because she’s a sitting member of Congress. That makes it an attack on her constituents and US democracy too.

The history of 287(g) has gotten lost because feds and states have allowed the program to expand, unchecked. Historically, the only agencies that could use 287(g) were sheriff's offices (maybe the occasional state agency). Sheriffs can generally enter into contracts without county approval.

back in the olden days DOJ would investigate a particular crime it believed had been committed, rather than just poking around to see if anything was wrong

The investigation is seeking information to see where it leads, the source said. For example, if records, representations related to age and immigration status contain false information, that would provide material for investigators to scrutinize further. They could also examine communications related to such matters.
