BREAKING: Judge Jia Cobb rules that the Pentagon's National Guard deployment into DC is ILLEGAL.🙌 Further, she says a president can NOT use the National Guard to fight crime – perceived or invented. 💯

NEW: Federal judge rules Trump's D.C. troop invasion is likely illegal, must end by Dec. 11. National Guard troops have been in D.C. since August. A federal judge ruled Thursday that both deployments — D.C. National Guard and out-of-state troops — likely violate the law. Tonight, at Law Dork:

Today’s case is different than the deployments in California, Oregon and Illinois, because Trump controls the DC National Guard However, the judge noted that “Congress has given the District rights to govern itself. Those rights are infringed upon” once Trump unlawfully deployed National Guard

@democracydocket.com covering yesterday's win for direct democracy in #Arkansas. #arpx

US District Court Judge Timothy Brooks, who sits in Fayetteville, is increasingly the last line of defense protecting Arkansans from the worst excesses of our Republican legislators. I'd send him a muffin basket if it wouldn't get me charged with bribery. #Arkansas #arpx #arnews

ICYMI: We’re proud of the tireless work of our clients and partners in defending the constitutional right of Arkansans to vote on the issues they care about. Because in Arkansas, the people rule. Read more: www.arkansasonline.com/news/2025/no... #arpx #arleg

Its all for the ultra rich oligarchs and big corporation donors !

I cant believe Republicans want unregulated, extractive, data centers here, but they want to regulate windmills. They're Don Quixote and have mistaken windmills for an enemy. But even worse, they've mistaken data centers as friends. #arpx #arbluedots

Worth remembering that Will Jones, the Pulaski Co. prosecuting attorney now mired in scandal over affair with former chief deputy, was also the person who let Gov. Sanders off the hook for #lecterngate by refusing to investigate. He has an opponent, Bobby Forrest Jr. #Arkansas #arpx buff.ly/QyYt0Jn

Man, Republicans want to cut everything - including the spell check budget. #arpx

"Boinking" is a word we don't hear often enough in coverage of sex scandals ... #Arkansas #arpx #arnews

These laws mandating display of the 10 Commandments - struck down in Arkansas, Louisiana & now Texas - are the handiwork of Christian nationalist David Barton, who has bamboozled legislators into believing this is constitutional. Perhaps he should pay the legal fees? #arpx #Arkansas

Gov. Sanders' attempted power grab at Board of Corrections will cost taxpayers $300,000 in legal fees paid to outside attorney hired to defend BOC. AG Tim Griffin chose to defend governor rather than board. #Arkansas #arpx #arnews buff.ly/phx1mPF

Here's a thought: Rather than trying to make new restrictions on SNAP benefits "workable, how about just we just stop trying to tell SNAP beneficiaries what they can eat? #Arkansas #arpx arktimes.com/arkansas-blo...

I dont hate AI. Its useful. Its also misleading and data centers are the nail in our coffins. AI has huge limitations, and it lies to us. Its never going to replace humans, but it will destroy our habitat. We have to do something.

These posters started popping up ahead of next week’s We Ain’t Buying It boycott. From Nov 27 - Dec 1, folks are stepping back from corporate chains like Target, Home Depot, and Amazon. People are done being squeezed, so they are using the leverage of their wallets 💥

NEWSWEEK: “Chinese immigrant found hanging in ICE detention with his hands and feet tied behind him… Chaofeng Ge died 4 days after entering ICE custody in Pennsylvania… deaths in ICE custody have gone up under Trump…” www.newsweek.com/ice-detainee...

This story stemmed from this question: what will be the human toll of Trump's climate rollbacks? Turns there is emissions modeling that can help provide an estimate. Using modeling from @rhg.com we estimated the additional death toll as high as 1.3 million www.propublica.org/article/trum...

Huge @tinanguyen.bsky.social scoop: Trump is preparing to try and ban all state AI laws, going so far as having Brendan Carr’s FCC pull rural broadband funds from states that try to regulate AI www.theverge.com/ai-artificia...

In an hour we will be doing our latest FOIA Forum, a live-streamed event where we show you how to pry records from the government. Today will all be about Flock, and how researchers and others found cops tapping the nationwide network for ICE, etc. Stream link here: www.404media.co/our-new-foia...

This is one of the worst, most horrifying exposures we have ever seen. It is hard to overstate how bad the things that people are using tools like for are, and it's insane to pretend like these tools are anything other than nonconsensual porn machines www.404media.co/ai-porn-secr...

While hosting Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman at the White House yesterday, President Trump called for ABC’s broadcast license to be revoked, after ABC News White House correspondent Mary Bruce asked him why he had not released the Epstein files.

“The historian alleged that Melania was “sleeping with Epstein before she met Trump,” and then suggested that this detail had originally appeared in his book but was removed “after Trump complained.” open.substack.com/pub/unpresid...

After we investigate all the ways that Harvard helped whitewash Epstein can we just continue on investigating all the ways the Ivies function as gigantic reputation washers for a whole rotten layer of evil doers TYSM.

Reminder to Harvard: the time to fire Larry Summers was when he publicly disparaged women's intellectual capabilities.

the gulf between the swift brutality with which places like harvard treated students protesting genocide and the endless, endless latitude those same institutions have given people like larry summers tells you everything you need to know

Alright, alright. I did not expect this at all. Happy to have been wrong about this not passing the House.

FYI, there are over 300,000 pages of Epstein files.

Breaking: The House voted unanimously, 426-0, to strip a provision in the funding bill that allowed senators to sue the government for $500K if their phone data was searched without their knowledge. The provision was designed for GOP senators to sue over the Jack Smith investigation.

Porking fun at the president is the wurst kind of Spam smh

Keep this in mind as we start seeing more and more large scale outages from AWS, Cloudflare, Github, etc. These are the companies hoping to increasingly automate their systems with AI

hypercentralizers are not having a good day today -- #github has joined #cloudflare to block or slow down millions of folks from doing stuff. Maybe a good time to checkout out this new ACLU article about the current Apple/Google app-store oligopoly […] [Original post on chaos.social]

At least he was consistent. All the rest that refused to sign the discharge petition and spent months minimizing the scandal at every turn are no better.

An ICE employee was among 16 men arrested after trying to solicit a minor for sex in Bloomington, Minnesota, police say "When he was arrested, he said, 'I'm ICE, boys,'" Bloomington Police Chief Booker Hodges said during a press conference. "Well, unfortunately for him, we locked him up."
