"How BI² landed an ICE contract worth as much as $10 million is in part a tale of the Trump administration’s increasing reliance on controversial surveillance and biometric technology in its immigration crackdown" It's also about a lobbying shop that has tight ties to Trump

We are already starting to see how bad policies coming out of Washington are cutting jobs in our growing clean energy sector. I’ll continue to do whatever I can to protect clean energy jobs and keep North Carolina the #1 state for business. www.citizen-times.com/story/news/2...

Nothing says “I skipped some chapters in the history books” like missing the irony of going to an HBCU to try to prove they are the intolerant ones.

🚨⚖️📚 Combat veteran slams Trump, declares “I’m Antifa,” blasting his terror label push. Warns of media control, attacks on nonprofits, VA job cuts, Guard misuse, and a Constitution under siege. Calls for grassroots organizing to defend democracy.—“the only way we win is from the ground up.”

The great tan suit scandal was dumber, and escalatorgate won't jump past the green M&M changing her shoes, but they do pick some idiotic battles to wage.

Given his track record as a leader, I'm assuming Ryan Walters' plan to "destroy the teachers' unions" is just finding a way to get himself put in charge of them.

White supremacy means excluding African Americans from public universities (funded in part by their own taxes), forcing them to build up their own institutions (with less public support in every way), and then forcing your way into that space as well, so they can't escape Your Important Questions.

JUST IN: A new class action lawsuit challenges ICE's warrantless immigration arrests in Washington, D.C., which they say are occuring without probable cause and based largely on perceived ethnicity. www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

This. A thousand times, this.

With the Tylenol bullshit I’m reminded that women have always been the scapegoat. Remember, they didn’t burn witches. They burned women. And I have no doubt that some would like to bring that practice back.

This. They’re “ironic,” but the joke is always punching down. They “don’t care,” but only because the system benefits them in ways they don’t see. They don’t want “politics,” they just want the world to cater to their every whim. I could’ve very easily been this person. We can choose differently

Read the IG report on the McCabe leak controversy for which Comey might be indicted, and you'll see that there's no case here and that any prosecution would be the weaponization of the DOJ to serve Trump's revenge fantasy. I mean, no case at all. Not even close. static01.nyt.com/files/2018/u...

. @adamserwer.bsky.social is correct. A major difference between Trump I and II is that lots of people decided not to fight this time around. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Morning. ☕ ICYMI: House and Senate Dems are going after law firms giving Trump millions in free legal services. They may not get far now, but what they're really doing is laying groundwork for full-blown congressional investigations the moment they flip the House. www.huffpost.com/entry/democr...

Harry Enten: "The more RFK Jr is trying to implement his policies, the further down his net approval rating goes. And at this particular point, 21 points underwater is not a place you want to be."

It's stories like this, especially this ¶, that make me glad I got a PhD in CompLit. This is, at once, a really well told story that tells almost nothing, most notably here, where it doesn't even tell what we know. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) told reporters this about the decisive 218th signature for House discharge petition seeking to force release of Epstein case files: "The House leaders and some of the powers that be in DC are in full panic right now"

Trump just shows us every day ….he can go lower there is no bottom for him

"...People don’t understand that Palm Beach in the 90s was a different time, he groused." That near-confession is EXACTLY why people are so obsessed with this.

1. I want to pick up on a point I made in yesterday’s edition, about how the president and his co-conspirators, inside and outside the regime, do not mean what they say. They do not care about the truth behind their words, only whether those words can achieve a desired outcome.

this too (after very "efficiently" paying them for months for not working)

Kristi Noem: Democrats are forbidden to use harsh political rhetoric against me and Trump, but I will continue to claim they are violent terrorists with no evidence whatsoever, because that's the essence of our agenda.

I know-You were thinking to yourselves Can MAGA Morons & Fox Fascists really be looking to make a conspiracy out of an....escalator? But they finally sussed them out Escalators are ANTIFA!

Now that my bipartisan Stop Campus Hazing Act is law, we’re working to ensure greater transparency and accountability on college campuses. Together, we’ll keep fighting to end hazing. mcbath.house.gov/press-releas...

Chris Murphy: "Trump's Ukraine policy is just who was in the room last. What he said here in New York was helpful and positive for Ukraine, but next week he'll be attacking Zelenskyy as a corrupt dictator. The real bottom line is that he hasn't actually done anything to help Ukraine."

Super interesting, nuanced analysis. This Administration often prioritizes political messaging over winning legal strategies. Can always blame someone else when they lose.

Good morning from East Tennessee. A vintage photo by of dear Maggie on one of our walks.

Look at all these stupid countries around the world holding their leaders accountable and acting like the laws apply to everyone evenly. What a bunch of suckers.

Donald Trump appointed a U.S. Attorney who’s never prosecuted a case in her life. Politics aside, there are real criminals—drug dealers, sex traffickers—who need to be locked up. But instead of choosing someone qualified, he picked a loyalist to chase his revenge fantasies against Comey. Dangerous.

Wednesday's shooting at the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement field office in Dallas that killed one detainee and injured two others is sending fear through the migrant community and those who advocate for them.

They're about to shut down the government to protect the Epstein Files from disclosure. Whatever is in the files must be so unhinged as to be beyond imagination.

Why are these cartridges in a storage clip? If it was, as reported, an "AR style rifle", these cartridges would most likely be in a magazine or if the shooter had trouble chambering a round, by themselves lying on the ground. This photo does not make a lot of sense.

Then why weren't actual ice agents shot? 🤔

They should have cut his mic.

@dandrezner.bsky.social wrote this mockery of Scott Bessent dissing US NATO responsibilities in the face of Russian incursions before Russia overflew Alaska with bombers, but I hope he updates!

LMFAO 😂😂😂😂

Release the Epstein Files

OMG Sue everyone and everything because FATASS. Can't walk up a flight of stairs 😭
