Thank you for coming forward. We need more voices from inside the uniform standing shoulder-to-shoulder with us to reject this extremism, protect our democratic norms, and demand accountability.

I joined 42 of my California colleagues in condemning Trump’s outrageous remarks that Los Angeles and San Diego would be a “small price to pay.” No American city and no American life is expendable.

Andy Craig (@andycraig.bsky.social) proposes an impeachment fix that needs no constitutional amendment: senators vote on conviction by secret ballot, with each vote recorded in the Senate Journal and sealed for 10 or 20 years.

A Democratic Senate Should Adopt Secret Impeachment Ballots on a Priority Basis
Such a change, requiring no constitutional amendment, would free senators to vote their judgment instead of their fears

I got really annoyed that so many stories about the "Cornell 7" case don't link to the underlying court documents. So I compiled the key filings from Jane Doe's civil suit and from a separate suit brought by one of the accused. Read them here: annabower.substack.com/p/read-the-c...

The "Higher Rates, Higher Rent Doom Loop" is a major trap for the Fed: 1. High rates mean builders build less 2. Fewer homes mean rents go up 3. Higher rents push inflation higher (shelter is ~25% of CPI) 4. Sticky inflation keeps rates high A vicious cycle. 📉🏠 T at Apollo

In important decision for separation of powers, court rules Trump cannot fire court-appointed US Attorney, which would circumvent Senate’s role of advice and consent. If Trump wants to replace him, Trump must nominate a confirmable candidate. www.politico.com/news/2026/10...

The White House banned Politico, citing anonymous sources. It provided the quotes.
In a letter defending its ban of Politico, the White House critiqued a report based on a press call it conducted, where reporters were told not to name the speaker.

Michigan voters enshrined reproductive freedom in our Constitution back in 2022. Republicans haven't stopped trying to erode it since. We need an AG who'll hold the line against anyone — state or federal — who comes for our privacy and choice. That AG is Eli Savit - and he will not budge. #Pinks
