Could you rewrite this like a journalist instead of a stenographer?

Vikings, please sign her. I’m tired of a sucking for so long.

Another one: In January, a guy wrote an angry (but non-threatening) letter to former ICE chief Todd Lyons after the Good, Pretti killings. Last week, ICE agents tracked him down at the NYC hotel where he and his daughter were staying after returning from a vacation in Finland.

This is true. No international sporting event should come here without enforceable guarantees of free travel for all involved.

Sen. Chris Murphy: "Right now the biggest threat to this country are not a handful of House candidates in New York, it is the president of the United States who is trying to destroy American democracy."

The same agents who approached a volunteer at a polling place, again harassing someone over clearly protected speech.

One of my hot takes: if the AI economic transformation pans out, a robust humanities education will be a tremendous competitive advantage. The capabilities and risks of LLMs are dramatically different depending on the user's critical thinking, reading, and writing skills.

After federal agents shot Alex Pretti in Minneapolis, a New Yorker sent ICE's director an email in January comparing him to a Nazi. This week, DHS agents stalked him across New York. His home. A hotel. They gave his wife a letter warning of criminal prosecution. www.syracuse.com/news/2026/06...

A member of the MSPB secretly met with the White House in November and was pressured to allow the President to fire immigration judges. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/28/u...

the feds have done more to harass americans angry over good and pretti’s killings than they have to investigate them

Latest example of how imo the 6th Republican vote has so warped and loosened the majority’s incentives to pretend to care about even the appearance of good argument, much less the myth of the institution’s grandeur, anymore. Yadda yadda yadda, mask-drop, we win, next case. What a tawdry spectacle

J. Willick in @washingtonpost.com says that if policymakers can't use "bigoted campaign rhetoric" it tilts system toward lax immigration policy. Preposterous, plus it wasn't just campaign rhetoric; it was racist language right before & after TPS decisions. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

JD Vance made up a horrific and racist lie about a group of people, and now those people will be deported because the Supreme Court refuses to acknowledge, let along regard as disqualifying, the clear racial bias of this administration.

The great American state fair being stupid Trump bullshit does legit make me sad, if I’m being honest. A lot of the 250 stuff does. This could have been a really cool and special thing and literally any normal president would have pulled it off.

The Court’s equal protection analysis would itself raise an inference of discrimination under standard antidiscrimination law analysis.

Danville had a tough 20th century of manufacturing loss. Dr. Miller has been practicing cardiology there since the 70s, and when I interviewed him a decade and change ago, his stance was that a heart-healthy city walks, and walking should be part of its recovery. Fantastic guy.

yo I need everyone to notice this this guy just did a Zohran-style video that’s low-budget but super authentic, credible, and watchable. Proof it doesn’t take Zohran-level charisma! Sincere belief in what you talk about helps though.

obviously not the first person to make this observation but the "move along, citizen" shit for regular DC residents is especially galling in context of the pardons for the rioters who broke into the fucking capitol

The usage of “says” is just so messed up. He's not claiming it happened, the police confirmed it. Do better NYT

"Fraud" as a trope to explain intended policy failure

Any day now the pool is going to shoot a passerby and then justify it by saying it feared for its safety.

There are dozens of actual far-right extremists in the House GOP caucus, people who have said and done racist, corrupt, crazy things. And you’ve never heard of them. Because the Times and other establishment media outlets have never negatively profiled them like this. The GOP gets a pass.

2016: Emmer called MN's Somali community one of "the fastest-assimilating populations we've had." 2026: he says they "don't assimilate" and should "go the hell back." Same man. Same community. Full record on MN-06 Watch: mn06watch.substack.com/p/doomed-to-...

Emmer offered Italians & Poles as immigrants who "did it right." In 1924, those were the exact groups Congress wrote a law to keep out — Italian quota down 86%, Polish 79%. The charge then? "They don't assimilate." New Daily posted

Canadian in France here. I always bring up the analogy of a Canadian winter to knock some sense into this Western European anti-cooling cult, but people still don't get it. I feel like writing a satirical article on this. Imagine if: -Only 25% of Canadians heated their homes in winter. 1/

-Canadians thought heating makes people ill. -People acclimated to room temperatures below freezing as it's healthier. -Cdn hospitals had a handful of space heaters that the charge nurse allocated to the patients most in need daily (the rest get hot chocolate). People would assume we were nuts.

Horrifying. Their 4yo kids taken away from them for a couple of days—interviewed without other adults present by people they didn’t know. This was all based on a bizarre accusation that could’ve been easily dismissed w/o involving the children. This is not how these processes are supposed to work.

something HASC and/or House Oversight seriously needs to do next year is subpoena any records pertaining to US military orders being given to time strikes with regard to the markets

This is such a stupid, tired argument. It's true the exact phrase isn't in Constitution but Jefferson invoked it to explain what 1st Amendment does. Phrase "religious liberty" also isn't in Constitution so by that "logic" the chair of "Religious Liberty Commission" must oppose religious liberty.

Deporting brown and black people, and saying horrible things about Muslims does not equal “standing up” for Christianity.

This is because the constitution that Dan Patrick references is of the Confederate States of America.

"I try to keep as calm and low-key as possible. But I cannot describe the mix of rage and sadness that I feel at the idea that someone brought our children into this. They are four years old. Four. They do not know or care what a Democrat or a Republican is...For God’s sake, they are just kids."

The woman who did this should be prosecuted and shunned by decent people for the rest of her life.

Pete Buttigieg writes that he got a visit from Child Protective Services, based on an anonymous call made by a woman who claimed that he told her he commits crimes at a conference years ago:

Maybe your favorite book that you’re obsessed with isn’t such a great read if you have to pass laws to *force* other people to read it.

God, this is so awful.

This is awful. But so predictable.

This week someone targeted my family for harm with a false report. We’re physically OK, but that doesn’t mean we weren’t harmed. I am beyond furious. Whatever your politics, this is awful, wrong, and can never become normal.

Idk, maybe it's just me slowly pupating into a beautiful old man butterfly, but when people say things feel "off" now, this is kinda what i'm talking about. this is just really shocking stuff, and if you said it even during the Bush II admin, you would be out of politics, out of a job, etc.

Defend the Swamp!

pretty devastating dunk at the end of this paragraph

Here’s the discourse we’re missing out on by not engaging on Elon Musk’s microblog

We wanted to understand why a Jewish candidate defeated another Jewish candidate in one of America's most Jewish congressional districts. So we talked to three Evangelical Christians at a gun show in northern Idaho.

Eluonyechie, a Nigerian native, has been held in immigration detention for over two years. While detained, he has been injured by guards and repeatedly thrown in solitary confinement. Meanwhile, his case languished in immigration court. boltsmag.org/louisiana-im...

Now do the 12 jets Noem (and Markwayne!) bought

"I run the protection program. We’ll take care of you." The clear point is that Republicans have turned Congress into an body that does not engage in oversight, that operates to protect the president's family, the cabinet, his donors, friends.

the audience for this is not I think voters, it is potential co-conspirators in autogolpe

In an era where there have been a rash of bad decisions, the decision by Gov. Polis to pardon Tina Peters was one of the worst.

"i run the protection program" is a fucking hell of a thing to say when even the party's own voters are angry about epstein shit and the rest of the country's been getting increasingly angry about naked corruption
