I was mostly offline last week, so I missed this, but apparently, only 16 people (out of over 600) detained by ICE in the Chicago area have criminal records. "Worst of the worst," they say. Hundreds of lawful people are being thrown into detention. www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news...

@governor.pa.gov WTF WHAT ARE YOU DOING ABOUT THIS????

AI data centers are sucking up communities’ power & water. AI is being used by corporations to shaft consumers and is threatening young workers’ job prospects. So Trump wants to ram through a ban on state AI regulation — all to help out his Big Tech billionaire friends. Priorities.

And most have done nothing wrong- not even a traffic violation.

Ben Meiselas does his impression of WH Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt

Rep. Nydia Velázquez (D-NY) announces she will not seek re-election. Velázquez, 72, was the first Puerto Rican woman elected to Congress in 1992. “I believe now is the right moment to step aside and allow a new generation of leaders to step forward,” she said today.

NEW: This is one hell of an opening paragraph from Jim Comey's attorneys in his motion to get the grand jury materials in the case against him.

Comey's reply on his motion to get grand jury transcripts is by far the most interesting of the filings in that case today (including govt cherry pick of transcript). A lot of this explains why the 2nd indictment would have problems even if it was legal. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

I think what the American people want from the House of Representatives after they come back from a two-month paid vacation is for them to file, argue and vote on a bunch of censure motions against each other. We really appreciate you guys working so hard for us.

every thing going according to plan

those billions of dollars data center build outs are really paying out dividends

Democrats need to be specific, what illegal orders are they talking about?! About that...

Apparently dipshit Hegseth’s “lethal warfighters” landed inside the Mexican border by mistake and created an international incident.

The GOP is suing California over its response to their blatant racial gerrymandering. Tianna Mays breaks down the hypocrisy.

Not to defend Grok, which is generally awful, but I sometimes wonder how much people are priming it to get these responses. Because if you go to the Grok homepage and ask it the exact same prompt, this is what it tells you.

Seems like the billionaires behind Trump puppet Matt Van Epps are nervous, now dumping mountains of money into attacking Aftyn Behn with absurd fearmongering

Question about sedition: does disobeying military orders include getting a podiatrist to write a fake note about bone spurs to help you avoid the draft? If so, someone might be facing execution

WATCH — @aftynbehn.bsky.social in NASHVILLE: “We’re four points down… this is the most competitive race in America right now.” #TN7

The Pentagon added that contractors would "coordinate with appropriate agencies to avoid confusion in the future." 3/3 Sources: CBS: www.cbsnews.com/news/warning... Daily Mail: www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

Mexico tore the signs out. The Pentagon admitted the troops “miscalculated” the boundary. The US Embassy in Mexico said the following about the incident: "Changes in water depth and topography altered the perception of the international boundary's location." 2/

What the hell: The US accidentally invaded Mexico on Monday, storming a beach and planting DoD “restricted area” signs claiming the land for “the commander,” and triggered a standoff with armed Mexican security forces, all because Trump’s government can’t even identify a border on a map. 🧵 1/

Drug companies have hired over 500 lobbyists this year to gut the Inflation Reduction Act's drug price negotiation provisions. They outnumber public interest advocates more than 20 to 1. We must get money out of politics and end Big Pharma's deadly greed once and for all.

The way to do this.

Judge doubts Kilmar Abrego Garcia has final deportation order My recap of the 4+ hour hearing: The government's fourth effort to whisk Abrego to a faraway African nation seems bound to flop. www.allrisenews.com/p/xinis-doub...

He is getting closer....Who wants to tell him?

This nest of Martin and Pulte investigations seems even wilder and stupider than I’d imagined. The grand jury probe doesn’t seem at least to be tied to Pultes original criminal conduct using his position to dumpster dive in govt docs, though perhaps it’s abt that too.

A real question asked at the White House press briefing: Does the president want to execute members of Congress?

The fact that it needed to be asked shows how low Trump has brought the nation.

Nobody wants this shit. Nobody. The hostile reaction has been so pronounced, in fact, that it feels like a company announcing it would never force AI into its products would carve out a pretty good chunk of the market.

JUST NOW: Trump’s Secretary of Lying chalked up his “Quiet Piggy” line to him being “frank and honest” 🤔and said it’s why people voted for him. There is no bottom. (And for all the commenters telling us he said “Peggy”, you can relax now. He isn’t even denying it.)

Relevant today as Trump calls for the execution of Dems who served saying the military should remember their oath is to the constitution, not him, and they should defy ILLEGAL orders 👇🏽

My comments with @gohealio.bsky.social www.healio.com/news/pediatr...

“A federal judge has ordered the Trump administration to halt its National Guard deployment to Washington while a lawsuit over the matter plays out in court… writing that the administration has ‘exceeded the bounds of [its] statutory authority.’” www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

Sure, America does not need educated people, we need cheap and stupid labor. You voted for this, enjoy.

Immediately before Judge Michael Nachmanoff cornered Loaner AUSA Lemons on a declination memo yesterday, this exchange happened, in which Lemons accused Erik Siebert (whom judges including Nachmanoff had made US Attorney) of "machinations." Read the room, Lemons.

Lutnick on Trump removing tariffs from coffee, fruits, etc: "What you're gonna watch is the president focus on the small things that touch Americans' pocketbook and he's gonna bring them all down. He's gonna use the power of what he's created to bring these prices down."
