Arguing that, sometimes, the Court didn't decide something in the most partisan way possible and therefore it's not partisan is no better than arguing that drunk drivers often make it home so it's fine.

Congress should pass a simple law: before building detention or data centers in rural communities, corporations and federal agencies must disclose who they are and what they're building. No secret deals; this should be bipartisan. My latest in @nytopinion.nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2026/05/02/o...

An important thing to remember in this political moment is that most people are not as angry as the characters on social media and blanket statements on turning down the temperature and telling people to chill the fuck out will probably be received well by independent voters

This is a great example because the issue right now in left wing politics is that a sizeable portion of the left doesn’t want to make any concessions and argues that making concessions *is* compromising on principles - when really compromise is how you win.

One of my great great great grandfathers on my mother’s side was taken from Nigeria to Brazil as a slave. He fought in a one few successful slave rebellions. The freedmen and women stole ships and returned to Nigeria. My family stayed there until my mother immigrated to the U.S. years later.

If you were a far-right barbaric thug and saw Trump pardon people who beat cops, had child pornography, and considered pardoning those who tried to kidnap a democrat governor, you’d probably think you could do anything and get away with it. That’s the evil we’re living in.

No disrespect to OP, but I think people need to be clear eyed about this and understand that the media/information landscape right now are extremely fragmented, more than 2020, you may see a majority of Americans believe the authoritarian acts by the Trump admin are fine and not a problem.

A quick thought on “smuggling” vs. “trafficking,” two terms which Bondi used somewhat interchangeably. Generally, people pay to be smuggled; it’s a service. Trafficking, by contrast, is involuntary; no one wants to be trafficked. That distinction is key in thinking through the allegations.

Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill: - stops states from regulating AI for 10 years, -centralizes control at the federal level -integrates all AI systems nationwide into federal government agencies. It’s not deregulation—it’s federal control disguised as progress. Classic Trump.

As someone in this photo who just hit their max bench press goal of 250 pounds today in the gym (hell yeah), I don’t think Democrats need to “turn to the gym” to take to men. They need a real policy agenda for men and boys—and to stop sounding so buttoned up all the time.

A Missouri town where most voted for Trump is now reeling after a beloved community member, Carol, is being deported. They say, “we didn’t vote to deport moms.” But actually they did. Trump was clear. This is what he promised, and for many, what they chose to ignore.

Most millennials own a home and it is broadly not true that the late 20th century was an economic wonderland where you could buy a house and feed a family with a single blue-collar job. This nonsense is outright delusional - essentially just MAGA-style 1950s nostalgia repackaged for the left.

This comes after a federal judge ruled that ICE had blatantly violated this court order. The order required ICE to give people meaningful notice and an opportunity to object before being deported to a country not their own where they might face torture — nothing more.
