Absolutely no way to read this and not conclude that the Department of Justice has been deeply corrupted. And this is from a time when career lawyers were in place, pushing back against illegality. With firings and resignations, the politicization will just get worse. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

waters under the Coastal Act and Coastal Sanctuary Act, reflecting its strong environmental protections. The plan is politically motivated especially since the administration exempted Florida, home to Mar-a-Lago, while targeting California’s coast.

The Trump admin has unveiled plans to open California’s coastline to offshore oil drilling for the first time in decades, a move that has sparked swift and fierce backlash from state leaders. The proposal, which outlines up to six federal lease sales between 2027 and 2030, would mark the first

Epstein: Trump knew

Big day at U.S. District Court in D.C. where Sean Dunn, the D.C. Sandwich Guy, is on trial for misdemeanor assault of a federal officer. Border Patrol agent Gregory Lairmore is on the stand narrating surveillance video of the sammie toss. 'Now he’s struck me with the sandwich,' Lairmore says.

Trump is on live TV saying he wants to rig elections so Democrats can’t return to power. The most corrupt, anti-American administration in our history.

We are 36 days into the Trump government shutdown, the longest in American history.

Weird. It's almost like her current boyfriend, the director of the FBI who flies her around the nation on government jets, might have shared information that would normally be limited to trusted law enforcement circles. But that can't be right, because that would probably be a *crime*

Another disturbing video out of IL, reported by Block Club Chicago: agents/thugs are seen detaining a man, pressing him to the ground as he gasps, “I can’t breathe.” A crowd quickly forms, begging them to stop. We are outraged over the use of excessive force in immigration & federal operations.🤬

Art of the Deal.

"the FBI director used taxpayer funds in a government shutdown to fly his country singer GF to sing at a Hulk Hogan-founded wrestling event aired on Fox Nation" is not the flashiest Trump-era headline but pound for pound it can compete with any contender

Bari Weiss has been moving quickly to reshape CBS News. Now @status.news has learned she's privately expressed interest in tapping Fox News anchor Bret Baier to helm the CBS Evening News. The scoop in tonight's newsletter www.status.news/p/bret-baier...

Yes, what the fuck???

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 81st day out of the last 93. 12 days of work in over 3 months. With full pay and benefits. The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown. It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

…and Santos is small change compared to the other pardons:

Trump demanding $230 million from the DOJ, that he controls, is a shakedown of the American taxpayers so that Trump can line his own pockets. “There’s a government shutdown happening right now across the street, and on the other end of Pennsylvania Avenue, they’re tearing down the East Wing.”

So I realize I’ve reposted this all day, but I cannot understate the scale of this story. If Anthropic is spending this much on Google Cloud - or even 25% - the costs of running their business are never coming down. It’s a huge scoop, and the first real discussion of the true costs of AI anywhere.

Pro tip: If your response to MILLIONS of people marching in the streets to protest you is a shitty ai video of you essentially doing what everyone is protesting (you shitting all over the country), you've already lost.🤷‍♂️ 🖕🤡🖕 #NoKings

It is estimated that early 7 million people took part in demonstrations across more than 2,700 cities and towns making it one of the largest single-day nationwide protests in U.S. history. Scenes from Chicago. #3E #NoKings #50501Movement #indivisible #wearetheflood

While people continue to struggle to get FEMA aid approved after their lives were destroyed by natural disasters.

This is also the message of the Epstein files and the shutdown of the US federal government to prevent their release: it's not just to protect Trump, but also the myriad of men from all walks of life who willingly participated in the systematic exploitation and terrorization of girls and women.

In my latest piece for The Unpopulist, I wrote about the convolutions of the Epstein story and how the throughline is MAGA using children to achieve their political ends. For MAGA, what's supposed to be about the children is never about the children.

Q: How is this rescue package America first? TRUMP: It's really meant to help a good financial philosophy where Argentina can be successful again

Which Republican genius came up with the talking point to label millions of ordinary Americans peacefully protesting their government as paid Marxists who hate America? That’s really what you are going with? That we hate the United States of America? Fuck you.

Yesterday I was told that the class I’m scheduled to teach this month, Confronting Oppression & Injustice, is no longer part of our curriculum. This is a required class yet there was no discussion, no faculty vote, just an email saying the class no longer exists. This is what it’s like in Texas now.

Self serving nonsense. Andreessen has never demonstrated that he would do anything other than take profits if the cost of production went down. The idea that savings would be passed onto consumers is just another version of trickle down economics.

It is pretty galling that the Supreme Court spent four years telling Biden "you can't do that without Congress" then allowed Trump to seize a once-unthinkable amount of power from Congress within nine months and concentrate law-making authority almost entirely in the executive branch.
