You know it.. I know it.. Prove me wrong..

Andy Kim was already horrified by what he saw at ICE's Delaney Hall jail. Then he was pepper-sprayed.

ICYMI: The DOJ cannot begin distributing payments from the $1.8 billion “Anti-Weaponization Fund” while litigation is pending, a federal judge ruled. As part of the settlement that created the slush fund, the IRS was permanently barred from auditing Trump — essentially exempting him from tax law.

Meta paid its lowest effective federal tax rate in company history last year. Earlier this month, Meta began laying off 10% of its workforce. More than 8,000 people will lose jobs as it ramps up AI investment. Zuckerberg is now worth $215 billion. Second Gilded Age.

Jimmy Carter, the guy so opposed to corruption he put his peanut farm in a blind trust, the guy who negotiated the Camp David Accords, signed SALT II, returned the Panama Canal, created the Dept of Education, boycotted the Olympics over Russian territorial aggression, etc. etc. that Jimmy Carter? 🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Once again: German universities were the envy of the world before the Nazis rose to power and took an ideological wrecking ball to the entire enterprise. If you want to know how long it took for German universities to recover… they haven’t.

This is a really interesting idea. And we should 100% think big going forward.

Rep Chellie Pingree (D-ME) on ruling to strip Trump name from Kennedy Center: “A federal judge made clear what we have been saying from the start: (Trump) had no legal authority to do it. The Kennedy Center belongs to the American people. Now and always.”

How long are we to expect Congress to watch Trumps inability to end the war he started, doing the same tired failing bully tactics over and over again while damaging the global economy. He’s not just harming the USA. He’s harming every single country.

The Justice Department removed information about the January 6 insurrectionists from its website. @lawfaremedia.org has preserved and posted it www.lawfaremedia.org/article/the-...

Which of the three men on the screen would you let babysit your kid?

Congress would not take away the authority, they would grant it. Somehow I am more knowledgeable about the law than the actual Speaker of the House

With Friday strike, over 200 people killed by US military in alleged drug boat strikes. Overwhelming consensus of experts, myself included, assess these to be murder because no armed conflict (and war crime if it were armed conflict). 200 killed also raises serious question: crime against humanity

“If we’re standing by norms while they’re breaking them, well that’s the recipe for disaster” @chrismurphyct.bsky.social explains why congressional Democrats increasingly need to fight fire with fire as the Trump admin. and GOP work overtime to erode democracy and institutional norms.

A judge ordered the Kennedy Center to remove President Trump’s name, saying that it had been added unlawfully. The judge also temporarily blocked the institution from closing in July for renovations, months after Trump announced a two-year closure. nyti.ms/4dGbhSo

DEVELOPING: Rob Lowe’s band from St. Elmo’s Fire has withdrawn from President Trump’s America 250 celebration.

The new aliens.gov website is awful in a few ways but also more specifically claims that ICE has arrested 700 US citizens??? And is generally speaking a huge mess full of flim-flammery. from @regret.bsky.social and @dell.bsky.social

In yet ANOTHER decision by a judge trying to unstick Alex Jones' abuse of the legal process to prevent us from paying the Sandy Hook families, Texas judge Maya Gamble said Alex Jones has conducted "outrageous discovery abuse, tampering with evidence, and continuous, callous disrespect" for the law.

Amazon AMD Axon Boeing Dell Microsoft Nvidia Palantir Just a few of the major corporations and government contractors Trump has bought stock in lately. Many of his trades directly coincided with regulatory decisions his administration made that affected their profits.

The judge also blocked Trump from shuttering the Kennedy Center.

NEWS: A federal judge has ordered the Trump administration to remove Trump’s name from the Kennedy Center, ruling that only Congress can change the institution’s name and directing officials to remove it from the building façade, all physical and digital signage, and official materials.

Politics doesn’t have to feel like something punching you in the face every time you check the news. We can come together around big, common-sense ideas that most Americans agree on.

Insane video from @noturtlesoup17.bsky.social www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

“There was a man who has Stage 3 lung cancer, not getting medical treatment. He wants to leave, go back home, spend his final months...with his family. But they just won’t let him go.”

Peter Thiel is heading to his spiritual homeland of Argentina, following in the historical footsteps of thousands of other deeply problematic men with the exact same haircut.

“I was grabbed by my book bag and thrown onto the ground.” Outside Delaney Hall ICE prison in Newark, a protester says she ran in to shield another protester ICE was targeting — before an officer got in her face with chemical spray. WATCH @jordanchariton.bsky.social LIVE ⬇️

🚨 “HOLY SH*T… SOMEONE IS GONNA GET KILLED.” 🚨 @jordanchariton.bsky.social is live outside Delaney Hall as agents push protesters into the street with trucks passing by. A protester says: “They pushed us into the cars pretty much… yesterday they pushed like three people into a semi.” WATCH LIVE ⬇️

In 2006, the film Idiocracy depicted the White House in a fictional time when the United States was incredibly tacky and stupid. Frankly, they underestimated what the reality of the United States being incredibly tacky and stupid would really look like.

Do you dream of replacing existing corporate Dem leadership with a new generation of grassroots fighters? We're doing it! And we're talking about how with one of the boldest Dem fighters this campaign season - @darializaforny.bsky.social! Drop on by for the discussion today!

A good reminder that even vast wealth can't buy good taste. #WhiteTrashWH

"there is no international travel into los angeles or new york" yeah okay sure let's press that button and see how it goes this is why you don't put extremely stupid people who don't know how anything works in charge of important agencies

Heck, a soldier posted a workout on Strava that revealed a classified location. Much of this data isn’t even hidden.

If you have a tip, you can reach me on signal: dell.3030 anonymity offered.

NEW: Students for Trump founder Ryan Fournier has been arrested again for domestic violence. www.rawstory.com/ryan-fournie...

Where is the ABA?

NEW: The weaponization of the DOJ has become a hallmark of Trump’s second term. Now, his attorneys general are facing a growing wave of ethics complaints over their roles in carrying out the president’s retribution campaign — but that doesn’t seem to be stopping them.

Just a reminder that the Senate's first order of business on Monday will be consideration of an extremist judicial nominee rated Not Qualified by the ABA because of her astonishing lack of experience.

New: Federal agents pulled a gun on neighbors observing an arrest in Washington DC on Tuesday. Witnesses say the agents (from several agencies) were arresting a man for having an open beer. "There's a whole surge, right, that's coming out of the President's office," one agent is heard explaining.

Looking at what he's done to the People's House (without Congressional approval, of course), I feel equal parts rage & embarrassment for our country. The Midterms can't come soon enough... #Register&VOTE 🌊

A Congressman who co-sponsored the 1980s bill that provided reparations for formally incarcerated Japanese Americans like himself, & whose tragic, inspiring, profoundly American story can be told through two baseball bats. That & much more in Season Two’s final Inning! 🗃️ @hcrichardson.bsky.social

The United States before and after the orange felon seized power. I’ll never forgive anyone who voted for destruction, corruption and chaos.

the challenge for talarico and dems will not just be repeating this accusation over and over again, but telling the story over and over again, so that voters understand the words "adam hoffman" as a synecdoche for the entire case against Paxton every time they are invoked.

For the love of God, elected Democrats: stop taking advice from Republicans about the “way forward.” Your base will not tolerate it. Both sides are not equally to blame for what this country is experiencing right now. That framing is detached from reality. 🧵

Who knew it was still even possible to stand out for vulgarity in America?

NEW: “Immigration authorities have detained a pregnant woman and her 4-year-old son at Washington Dulles International Airport for over a week,” per her lawyers. “CBP is holding [Anabella] Gyasi and her son in a windowless holding room, according to the ACLU.”

Texas Republicans chose a candidate who embodies something essential about the party under Trump.
