Congress should demand a return to the Constitution in exchange for any funding. Trump won't agree, but it's like Charles I. No funding for an autocratic ruler.

The Trumpers responded as usual: “60 Minutes should spend their time and energy amplifying the stories of Angel Parents, whose innocent American children have tragically been murdered by vicious illegal aliens that President Trump are removing from the country.”

DOJ briefly uploaded this letter from Jeff Epstein to serial child molester Larry Nassar: "Our president shares our love of young, nubile girls. When a young beauty walked by he loved to 'grab snatch,' whereas we ended up snatching grub in the mess halls of the system."

when the second tape came out, right-wing Fox types spoke derisively of DNC operatives spending hundreds of hours poring over old CSPAN tapes and, nope, it was just a guy with a blog and one of his readers, who happened to have saved the tape because he couldn't believe what he heard

You might question her methods, but credit to Bari Weiss: her leadership has pushed 60 Minutes into new formats and attracted a bunch of new viewership outside the normal broadcast audience.

This has been made available, so for purposes of commenting on Bari Weiss's decision to spike the story, here's a live-post of that segment. It begins with a "you may recall" summary of the deportation to el Salvador. Describes the admin's claim that it could deport the men without due process

The funny thing about CBS is that Trump still hates them and is mad at their parent company. Plus Republicans don't like or trust Bari Weiss So they have to keep getting more obviously propagandist for him in order to placate him

5% of the population generates 50% of healthcare spending. The GOP solution to cutting healthcare spending in half is to simply let that 5% die. The only flaw in their reasoning (aside from a total lack of ethics and morality) is that sooner or later nearly everyone ends up being part of that 5%.

The Abundance movement often points to environmental groups as the obstacles to building. But who actually files the lawsuits blocking projects? It’s not environmental groups. It’s been lawyered-up HOAs protecting property values all along. Regulation by litigation is the problem.

This Yglesias piece in the NYT is horrifically bad. Almost every "fact" it cites is provably false. At best it is cocktail party banter from a pundit who knows nothing of energy. At worst, it was cut/paste from oil industry talking points. So, a rebuttal:

Thank you for flooding the phone lines. Though we barely missed peeling off enough Republicans to check the regime’s lawless violence, it’s clear that the American people do not want war with Venezuela. Henry Cuellar was the only Democrat to vote with Trump — 14 days after he was pardoned by Trump.

If the question is what a better system might look like within the confines of the problems the field has, the answer is it would look like STEM hiring, except with adjunct teaching jobs replacing post-docs: you'd never hire someone tenure-line who hasn't had the PhD and been in the field for years.

so a thing just occurred to me. a downside of declaring a blockade against venezuela is it makes it easier for other large powers in different parts of the world, say asia, to blockade, say for instance democratic islands, and cloak it as lawful

In general people really seem to like lying about medically assisted dying and I genuinely do not know why. Like yeah man what technically constitutes a terminal disease is a fuzzy boundary, but eg the Illinois laws do not say "terminal disease" they have a clean definition (6mo to live or less)

The reason you defend civil liberties is not because it is popular (it is never popular) but because if the government can deport you to a foreign gulag without trial then it doesn't matter how popular the rest of your policy platform is.
