Just so were clear, there's 10s of thousands of books and 60 days to review them. So assuming 20,000 books (that's the minimum for 10s of thousands) that's 333.3 books per day to review. Assuming one person and they work 8 hours a day, that's 41.6 books per hour. Or a little over 1 minute per book.

Holy shit. Reuters reporting that new admin instructions on visas are if you worked at a platform in trust & safety or content moderation or on fact checking or online safety at an platform you *and your loved ones* are ineligible for H-1B visa. www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

“.. The plan could cost the US government double what it's projected to take in for 2025 and undercut Trump's argument that tariff revenue will be used to help pay down federal debt.” 🤡 @bloomberg.com www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

This deal is a surrender. Two parties who say they care about high costs but none who will fight to deliver on it. Democrats fighting for affordable health care this past month was a huge boon to the brand and paid off in elections. If they reverse course now it will vanish—and they’ll deserve it.

Okay, Ezra is confirming that he's hearing D senators are actually plotting to cave to Trump and end the shutdown WITHOUT any extension of the ACA, just a promise of a vote later down the line. Call your senators, friends, NOW, and tell them NO DEAL without ACA funding! Find them here: reps.fyi

Feels like this will be a useful meme for the next few years

Border Patrol agent Lairmore testifies that he was not injured by the sandwich, but he felt the impact through his ballistic vest. The sandwich came apart and "kind of exploded" on his chest upon impact, he says. "I could smell the onions and mustard."

It would be good if we had a functional Supreme Court at this point.

Pardon the mess…

The gender netural toilet that they put in place, put her fears at ease apparently.

NEW: Footage of a US citizen in Chicago being rammed then dragged from her car on her way to work. Abducted, with no warrant, her family couldn’t find her for hours. She was later released with NO CHARGE. A DHS statement said she “violently resisted arrest, injuring two officers”. You decide…

"we can rip out the very marrow and heart of government as quick as we want, whenever we want, but if you make us turn any spigot back on that we don't want on, it's just gosh darn impossible, judge"

I really think we should do a whole series about facts like this: Have you noticed that poison ivy seems worse and itchier? It's not your imagination. It's Climate Change. grist.org/climate/clim...

The biggest story in the country right now should be Donald Trump admitting he has no idea who he's pardoning—and that he only pardoned a crypto fraudster because his sons told him to. Could you imagine the reaction if Joe Biden admitted something like that?

"I find that a lot of them aren’t as masculine as I would have hoped." So close to getting it.

In Chicago, a woman was driving to get coffee when a DHS vehicle fleeing an angry crowd crashed into her car. Armed agents jumped out of the vehicle, yanked her door open, pulled her by the legs out of her car at gunpoint, held her incommunicado for hours, then released her with no charges.

A purported ally threatening diplomats and their families with personal consequences if they maintain the positions they’ve been instructed to take is very deeply shocking, extremely hostile, and undermines the norms by which non-violent resolution of international disagreements are possible.

Obama couldn't even ask for a different kind of mustard.

This might be the one that breaks me. Every federal agency reduced to banana-republic personal fiefdoms where criminal Trump allies loot the public and fire vastly more qualified people for daring to do their jobs. It’s unthinkable. It’s obscene.

You're a day early disneyland.

The President of the United States is so upset about his failed campaign for a Nobel Prize that he's now trying to claim someone else's prize as his own. Pathetic.

So many people are going to die and it’s all preventable

I guess someone heard from Tylenol’s lawyers.

Now Im not a math major like @thomaslarock.com or @erikabakse.bsky.social, but I'm pretty sure that's not how math works. Even the weird math that tuey know.

As they realize they're getting away with lies, they get more bold with their blatant lies.

The groups that make the same fashion choices as him have never been the good guys. I can't believe he doesn't see / understand this.

WOW! The Washington Post obtained the rest of the body cam footage showing that the drunk-driving ICE agent promised to check if the arresting officer's partner was Haitian. "I’m going to run some checks when I get back." He added that he would have him deported if "not legit."

When the jokes write themselves, late night comedians can take the week off!

Reporting is always going to be a better idea than stenography. Here’s another example.

Patel's girlfriend performed at Penn State last weekend. A government jet arrived at State College Regional Airport, according to its FAA registration, with an address listing the FBI HQ. The plane then flew to Nashville, where his girlfriend lives. All on the taxpayer’s dime. trib.al/TBvPo7A

This indictment of @katmabu.bsky.social and five other protesters is the most ridiculous thing I’ve read (this week), and I imagine it will be laughed out of (lower) court. They’re being charged with the conspiracy of slowing down an ICE vehicle. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Because of course he did.

He should ask his inlaws what their native language is, and then tell them that he wouldn't want to live next to them.

Breaking on MSNBC: Two federal prosecutors have been placed on leave at the direction of the White House after filing a sentencing memo seeking 27 months in prison for a pardoned Jan. 6 rioter who brought illegal guns and ammunition to President Obama's house in 2023.

The White House’s remains. Buried under a golf course.
