Pentagon abruptly calls a press conference for 11 am. Or, since hard-pass holders are now right-wing orgs & influencers, something orchestrated but flavored like a press conference: "For in-person attendance, this briefing is limited to invited press only. There is no Zoom call dial-in available."

Ro Khanna reacts to Marjorie Taylor Greene’s resignation: “MTG is likely to be a formidable 2028 candidate. Her stances on Epstein, on regulating AI, and anti-war are more in touch with MAGA voters than JD Vance.” (Khanna & Greene just worked together to pass the Epstein files bill.)

A fantastic investigation showing that the unit run by Greg Bovino, the Border Patrol agent in charge of racial profiling in LA and Chicago, is an outlier even in an agency already notorious for unnecessary use of force. Obama and Biden could have fired him, but didn't. www.pogo.org/investigatio...

Two federal judges have ordered the Trump Administration to disburse SNAP emergency funds. Yet today, millions of Americans are still uncertain about where their next meal will come from without these benefits. Trump must follow the law and release this funding NOW.

A reminder that Greg Bovino has videographers from DHS's Office of Public Affairs following him around Chicagoland, with the purpose of creating propaganda.

America has no idea what's about to hit them. "Young Republicans" are fully steeped in neo-Nazi edge lord talking points. Fuentes is the present and future of the GOP. After Trump, this is the new form of MAGA. The establishment isn't built for this fight. www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...
