Blackmail is now policy

This is what happens when the Trump administration is faced with the truth. Masterful work @magaziner.house.gov.

The monster one heartbeat away …

Big poke in the eye for Trump!

HUGE. Judge Xinis grants the writ of habeas corpus and orders that the government "SHALL release [Kilmar] Abrego Garcia from ICE custody immediately."

The “Permanent Apportionment Act of 1929” arbitrarily set the number of representative at 435, whereas the Constitution stipulates one representative per state and no more than one for every 30,000 persons: wouldn’t a Congress with 12,000 representatives be more democratic?

BREAKING Trump’s troops must get out of Los Angeles, a federal judge rules. (Ruling paused until Monday.) Look out for more coverage soon at All Rise News.

Now let’s see who the cowards are who don’t support this!

Eileen Higgins blows it out in Miami, wins 59%-40%!!!! In the last 2 years Dems have flipped Florida’s two largest cities, Jacksonville and Miami. Great work everyone! www.hopiumchronicles.com/p/eileen-hig...

Neither Netflix nor the Paramount/Trump/Saudi Arabia group should own Warner Bros. Both deals are absurd - terrible for consumers and democracy. This is a story about corruption - Trump using government power to screw consumers and gain control of the media. A red alert moment.

Brown: Autocrats don’t fear the disease or the babies dying from whooping cough — they fear the evidence of it, because evidence exposes their failures, demands accountability, and empowers the public.

the birthright clause was not just written to wipe dred scott off of the books, it was written to repudiate the *idea* behind dred scott, you might say the larger *ideological project* of dred scott. and the whole of section 1 of the 14th amendment is a constitutional statement of political equality

More of this nationwide please!

Bad framing: ACIP voted to scrap the universal hepatitis B vaccine recommendation for newborns. Accurate framing: Anti-vax conspiracy theorists appointed to ACIP by Robert Kennedy Jr., who made a fortune as an anti-vax profiteer, voted to expose babies to a preventable, incurable, deadly illness.

In just one year, Pete Hegseth has gone from leaked war plans to a possible war-crimes scandal. Now he’s pushing out real reporters and replacing them with political loyalists. This is how democracies erode: one institution at a time. A free press is essential— open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

This is my big soap box. We gave the presidency too much power with the PATRIOT Act, extrajudicial drone strikes, indefinite detention and the creation of the Department of Homeland Security. Trump is just using executive authority Congress gave to the presidency after 9/11 to maximum effect.

Good morning from federal court in Albany, N.Y. A federal judge will consider this morning whether to quash a SECOND grand jury probe of NYAG Tish James on the grounds that a Trump-installed prosecutor was unlawfully appointed. Stay tuned to All Rise News for more.

The pardons Trump is handing out are a huge, growing scandal that not enough people are talking about. This is a money making operation - for for Trump, his family, his crypto pals, and the Trump-affiliated lobbyists and grifters who the pardon seekers pay.

Report Shows How Recycling Is Largely a ‘Toxic Lie’ Pushed by Plastics Industry “These corporations and their partners continue to sell the public a comforting lie to hide the hard truth: that we simply have to stop producing so much plastic.” www.commondreams.org/news/greenpe...

While millions of families struggle to put food on the table Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos & Mark Zuckerberg own more wealth than the bottom HALF of Americans. That’s what oligarchy is about. That’s what a rigged economy is about. Is it any wonder that people in this country are angry?

📍 𝐑𝐄𝐃𝐌𝐎𝐍𝐃, 𝐖𝐀: Elaine Miles, a Native American actor, says she was stopped by ICE while walking to a bus stop — agents dismissed her legally issued tribal ID as “fake,” refused to verify it, tried to take her phone, and only released her after she was detained. #AbuseOfPowerWatch

A must listen: the whole interview

Great work here from @gregsargent.bsky.social. Timely thread and article...... Also strongly encourage folks to see Trump's selling out of Ukraine as the same op as Trump's Caribbean adventures. The elevating of the cartels/Maduro downgrades importance of defending Ukraine, countering Russia.

If the Venezuelan sailors were enemy combatants, then the 2nd strike is a war crime. If the Venezuelan sailors weren’t enemy combatants, then both strikes are criminal murder. It’s that simple.

Unfortunately, in US journalism it is considered neutral to spread a lie, but it is considered "biased" to call out a lie. So, there is a structural asymmetry that rewards colorful lies with virality.

"I co-wrote Trump's first anti-terrorism plan in 2017-2018. He's not trying to stop "left wing" terrorism. He is staging it. His troop deployments are a false flag – meant to provoke a response in order to justify harsh crackdowns. This is now very obvious." Miles Taylor

U.S. President Donald Trump’s plan for ending Russia’s war has been criticized as effectively imposing the Kremlin’s terms for Ukraine’s surrender. But the plan also poses a direct threat to Europe's security architecture, analysts and diplomats believe.

Gallego: "Donald Trump is gonna be gone in a couple years. And if you're part of the military that is going after sitting members of Congress and part of the weaponization of government, there will be consequences. Without a doubt."

Me on DOJ’s behavior: “it’s malevolence *exacerbated* by incompetence. That’s problematic enough for the government’s credibility before federal district judges. But at some point soon, one suspects that the Supreme Court itself may well have to grapple with its consequences—or risk being duped.”

Russia is not winning its war in Ukraine But Steve Witkoff has agreed to treat them as a victor It’s a long Russian con to make America complicit — and it makes America weak, and corrupt

Seems like a good time to remind certain people that appeasement never creates peace and only encourages more cataclysmic wars of aggression. #StandWithUkraine #NAFO

The Senate homeland security committee's chair has asked researchers to turn over troves of documents related to the January 6 attack, vaccines, and more, according to a letter reviewed by WIRED. www.wired.com/story/senato...

NEWS: During a hearing in federal court in VA, prosecutors confirmed that the operative indictment in the case against James Comey was never shown to or voted on by the entire grand jury before it was presented in open court. Defense counsel argued that’s a complete bar to further prosecution

A massive loophole in the Epstein Transparency Act will effectively allow President Trump to go back and classify previously unreleased information. Joining Ian to break it down is @kenklippenstein.bsky.social Listen wherever you stream your podcasts.

“Roberts has been embedding white-dominant authoritarianism into the country’s source code for two decades. It’s impossible to imagine today’s crisis without the Roberts court having first undermined the foundations of our democracy.” This all on the leader of the MAGA #scotus ↘️

Called it!! There is no indictment. And this is not the end of it...
