“I can’t see another reason,” Adelita Grijalva tells Rolling Stone. “It doesn’t change the majority, Democrats are still in the minority. That seems to be the only outstanding issue that I can see." Story: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

John Roberts was part of the 3-judge panel presiding over Hamdan v. Rumsfeld while actively interviewing for a seat on the Supreme Court. He didn't recuse himself, didn't inform Hamdan's lawyers, and ruled in the Bush admin's favor the day before he interviewed with Bush himself.

In a genuine WOW moment, this administration publicly acknowledges (perhaps for the first time) that an ICE officer violated procedure and will be taken off duty and subject to an investigation. This is a step in the right direction — I just wish it wasn't only because of such an awful viral video.

More tomorrow, but now might be a very good time to consider subscribing to What’s Alan Watching? alansepinwall.ghost.io

Utah Governor Spencer Cox: “Social media is a cancer right now. I would encourage you all to log off, be with your family, and touch grass.”

1/Our client was notified tonight by White House staff in the personnel office that she was fired. As a presidential appointee, senate confirmed officer, only the president himself can fire her.

ICE took 2 firefighters OFF THE FUCKING FIRE LINE!?

The WHO believes one in five children in Gaza are acutely malnourished, with the health effects potentially lasting for generations.

from his lawyer, Nazly Mamedova, to @rollingstone.com just now today: “bond was denied. [immigration judge] found that she had no jurisdiction.”

British doctor comes back from Gaza and confirms two things we knew: 1- the Israelis *specifically* confiscate formula feed to starve children 2- there is a clear pattern in gun shot wounds pointing to the fact that IDF soldiers are playing games hunting humans. www.instagram.com/reel/DMm03Kp...

10 million people kicked off health insurance! 14 million additional deaths, including 4.5 million children under 5, in the next five years! Value of US dollar falling by record levels! 500 tons or emergency food incinerated out of spite! HE’S CRUSHING IT!

no one is asking for Andrew Cuomo to touch more people! It’s the opposite!!!

look, it’s just a fired prosecutor and an inexplicable tape gap. since when has that ever indicated anything

Rick Scott says we need to cut Medicaid to make sure it helps “those who truly need it.” The DOJ said Scott’s company billed Medicaid for services patients didn’t need, and for services that weren’t provided www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Rick Scott is famous for his company’s alleged Medicare fraud. It was also accused of scamming Medicaid, the safety-net program he’s now demanding Republicans take $313 billion more from as part of Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill. New at @rollingstone.com www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Some context for my comment above about higher ed as a valuable export: In dollar terms, last year, the United States sold more educational services to the rest of the world than it sold in natural gas and coal combined. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

they’re withholding this student’s diploma for acknowledging genocide. wild how every higher ed institution I’ve ever engaged with is policing thought crimes among its students

GOP tax bill on track to add more than $2.5 trillion to U.S. deficit But, on the other hand, it will kill many children.

you get the idea. It’s kaleidoscopically bad, almost impossible to list all the wrong they’re doing with any reasonable degree of completeness, and virtually nothing (to date) is getting better fast enough.

that’s deliberately degraded food and drug safety regulations, air traffic control systems, and the security of personal data held by the govt, that’s crusading against America’s world-beating university system, that’s trying to obtain territorial concessions from our longtime military allies, …

…, that’s encouraging a completely avoidable measles epidemic, that’s tearing the guts out of scientific research nationwide, that’s inaugurating a golden age for predatory lenders and financial scammers, that’s deliberately destroying NATO, that’s wholesale abandoning climate change policy,…

We have a govt that’s engaged in human trafficking, that’s openly allowing a gulf petrostate to bribe its leadership, that’s reshaping the refugee program in overtly racist terms, that’s almost ended American foreign aid entirely, that’s doing its level best to crash the economy from the rose garden

Democratic leadership is purging anyone who wants candidates under 80, shutting down anyone who wants to impeach Trump, and telling everyone to shut up about Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Have I got all that? And their answer is flying tiny banners over Mar-a-Lago?

Republicans are planning to finance their tax cuts for the rich by raising taxes on the poor, gutting Medicaid and food stamps, and raising health care costs. w/ @nikkimcr.bsky.social @rollingstone.com www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

The GOP’s obsession with women having babies looks a lot like the past. The pro-natalist movement, created to raise declining birth rates, has historically been co-opted by fascist & authoritarian regimes. Today's growing pro-natalist movement has found a leader in Trump.
