First Draft: Why Was Ilhan Omar’s Home Raided Over ‘Illegal Immigration’ Claims, and Not Elon Musk’s? You Know the Answer
In Donald Trump’s latest fascist outrage, ICE agents swarmed the Minnesota Democrat’s DC house, the whole thing reported by Fox. In Kansas, the president tried to stop a senator from self-destructing.

The most shameful thing is that it is coming down to one or two people under a lot of pressure and probably threats (or bribes) to decide this. This vote shouldn't even be close. It should be unanimous or almost unanimous to not confirm him.

The Trump admin wants to purge America of its undesirables. And for those Trump can’t deport, he hopes to simply hide away. On the new DOJ memo authorizing states to forcibly institutionalize more disabled Americans, rather than fund services that allow them to stay in their homes:

The Americans Trump Would Rather Not See
There are some uncomfortably eugenicist vibes in Trump’s latest disability policy, which authorizes states to institutionalize more Americans.

“They wanted to close up the strait again…as they've been doing for years,” Trump said Saturday. Of course Iran hasn't been closing the Strait of Hormuz "for years." Quite the contrary. The Strait is closed because of Trump's war. It's an indictment of his policy, and so he lies about the history.

To be clear: the SAVE Act does not simply require the identification voting ALREADY requires. It demands proof of CITIZENSHIP— a birth certificate with a name that matches yours now (bye, bye, married women), or a passport— both of which are expensive and take a long time to obtain.

The limits that Anthropic has placed on the use of their AI seem reasonable, and I think U.S. law should enforce the same limits on the use of AI by the government and military. It seems like Congress should have some say in this. @markwarner.bsky.social @kaine.senate.gov @repwalkinshaw.bsky.social
