The Trump administration's immigration policies are inextricably linked to the attempted erasure of non-white Americans from our history. As an added bonus, it's also a terrible economic strategy.

Democrats need to lay the groundwork for reform by attacking the villains on the Supreme Court - loudly, angrily, personally, relentlessly. And they should start now. paulwaldman.substack.com/p/democrats-...

Netflix defended its Warner Bros. deal as strategic, saying it has industry expertise and strength absent from past failed M&A.

Ugh. SCt reinstates Texas map giving new seats to Rs, n/w/s finding below it was race-driven. Return of the shadow docket in all its nastiness--consequential case; big leg up to Republican party; dubious & threadbare ruling, failure to respect district ct, lockstep conservative supermajority 6-3.

My office secured nearly $17 million from DoorDash for cheating delivery workers out of their hard-earned pay.  I'm reminding all eligible DoorDash delivery workers to file a claim now to get their money back before the deadline on December 31, 2025. www.nydoordashsettlement.com

#GVerse #Veterans US Citizen detained by ICE: Clearly it didn't matter that I was a citizen, a veteran, or identified who I was. They ignored everything I said. They just broke my window and dragged me out. I let them know I was a veteran, I wasn't doing anything wrong, just trying to get to work.

The whole play of Trumpism: convincing working class people to blame other working class people—so billionaires can keep robbing us all.

It seems as though Netflix has won the bid for Warner Bros. Paramount tried, and based on the last couple of years lets not assume anything. But this is a big deal. #StarTrek #WarnerBros #Paramount @trekculture.bsky.social share.google/gRH2Gq5OewFR...

The grand jury’s refusal to indict AG Letitia James is a clear rebuke of using the justice system for political revenge Trump’s repeated attempts to weaponize DOJ show why independent checks on power are essential Today, the rule of law holds firm Read my full statement 👇

As I've said from the start, these charges are baseless. It's time for the weaponization of our justice system to stop. I'm grateful to the members of the grand jury and humbled by the support I've received across the nation. I will keep doing my job standing up for New Yorkers.

Kagan: Court “announces that Texas may run next year’s elections with a map the District Court found to have violated all our oft-repeated strictures about the use of race in districting. Today’s order,” she continued, “disrespects the work of a District Cour that did everything one could ask..."

Congressman Adam Smith on @kaitlancollins.bsky.social says "fog of war" idea of Hegseth is "idiotic." It was a 48 minute video of 2 guys hanging off boat. Video was completely clear and visible when the second sortie (3 bombs) occurred.

Rep. Crockett’s Statement on the Supreme Court’s Ruling on Texas’s 2026 Map

If and when the pipe bomb suspect asks for a pardon, what is Trump to say? Can’t do it because you were violent? Unlike Enrique Tarrio or Stewart Rhodes or multiple assailants who physically attacked capitol police, used stun guns, flagpoles,etc? Completely exposes Trump’s viciousness and hypocrisy.

Ever wonder why the "too-many-immigrants" president is literally recruiting white South African refugees? Or why Elon Musk & the MAGAminion are whining about the birth rate Or why the US suddenly realized mass incarceration won't fix the drug problem? Here's a theory

Amazing. Grand Jury refuses Administration effort to reindict Tish James. Those events are typically once or twice in a lifetime for prosecutors, or even offices. Now the Administration is racking them up. A complete humiliation.

This is a million times worse than anything Hunter Biden was accused of doing in even the most fevered right-wing conspiracy dream

Speaking of lingering issues, anybody seen a guy skulking around with $50k in a CAVA bag? It's been nearly 15 months! Today would be a good day for the FBI to reveal what happened to the taxpayers' money that Tom Homan apparently took in exchange for propsective official favors.

A California man found the underside of his house in disarray. It turned out that a 550-pound black bear had moved into the crawl space. trib.al/y7jyZmk

If we're not at war, Pete Hegseth is a murderer. If we are at war, Pete Hegseth is still a murderer. He's a murderer. And you don't need to go to The Hague to hold him accountable because there are perfectly good, American laws AGAINST MURDER. My latest in @thenation.com

When are they going to release Epstein files? Are they going to release the Epstein files? They should have released the Epstein files by now.

As I mentioned to Katie, it's possible I may have fewer than zero at this point.

Gavin Newsom lit into an audience full of financial power brokers today, criticizing what he cast as their complicity with Trump’s agenda. He told attendees of the New York Times DealBook Summit that they should look into the kneepads he’s selling, in parody, to those “groveling to Trump’s needs.”

All super rich guys sound the same now. It’s all “I sleep four hours a night and spend the other twenty hours a day developing a product that’s going to bring us the best widespread poverty anyone’s ever seen.”

Rep. Ilhan Omar: "I hope he gets the help he needs. It sounds like he's trying to deflect from the failures that he's had as president ... he's fought to be the head of the pedophile protection party."

Jacob Frey: "If we are now at the point where the federal govt is deploying agents on legal American citizens with a goal of uprooting people who have formed lives here, have families here, started businesses here, definitively made Minneapolis a better place, everybody should be speaking out."

What an absolute disgrace. There must be consequences for this. www.democracydocket.com/analysis/lin...

JUST IN: Mike Johnson plans to swear in Rep.-elect Matt Van Epps on Thursday — less than two days after he won the TN-07 special election. As a reminder, it took Johnson 50 days to swear in Democratic Rep. Adelita Grijalva.

This is too much.

Some 600 immigrant kids have been sent to federal custody by ICE this year. A 17-year-old was detained at a traffic stop because officers couldn’t make contact with his dad, who is deaf. Another kid ended up in a shelter after making a wrong turn.

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

If Admiral Bradley didn’t realize before that these cowards were setting him up to take the fall, he knows it now. Time to hire a good lawyer.
