These are masked men, with weapons, no warrants and this is extrajudicial abduction, and with local police aiding and abetting this thuggery. It is illegal under international human rights law. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/07/u...

Senator Cory Booker -- nearly 23 hrs into this -- is more coherent than your average elected official speaking (while seated) at an average legislative hearing. Even if you haven't been watching all along, dip in for a moment -- he is making considerable sense: www.c-span.org/event/us-sen...

This might be the most nakedly corrupt document I’ve seen on DOJ letterhead — and I wrote a history of Watergate!

The motivation here seems to be to create as much chaos as possible. Freeze spending with a memo. Then repeal the memo. Then say the spending freeze is still on anyway.

Here in fly-over country, in the state Democrats have ignored for far too long, egg and gas prices are going up. Still waiting for those EOs that will "fix this for us". Oh wait, we can look forward to prescriptions getting more expensive as well. Fun times.

⚡️ UPDATE: HR 9495, that would give Trump the power to attack nonprofits and silence them as “terrorist-supporting” (without evidence) mainly with pro-Palestine groups in mind, could still see a vote next week. theintercept.com/2024/11/15/n...

REMINDER: Project 2025 includes a section that suggests changing the 40hr workweek to a 160hr work-month, so your boss could make you work extra hours with no overtime pay by cutting your hours later in the month. See page 592.
