FBI Designates Brown University Shooting A Cold Case

this is one of the most psychotic things Trump has ever posted

This NYT story failed the reader by not digging deeper. One subject dropped out of college after one year (five years ago) and lists "Windows" as his skillset. Story should be: young conservatives who blame immigrants for their personal failures and whose lives won't be improved w/ fewer immigrants

But this all misses a key piece of context: THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE The GOP has never succeeded in uninsuring millions, though they've been trying since 2009. It's testing a core tenet of conventional wisdom in American politics: A party that robs Americans of promises will be crushed.

The human cost of Trump's gutting of USAID: By the time Tor Top’s mother was sick with cholera, the nearby clinic had been shuttered for weeks. He bundled her into a canoe & paddled toward the nearest hospital, 8 hours away. Less than halfway into the journey, his mother died. New, @propublica.org

Things we learn: 1. Bovino's existence is the result of chain migration, which MAGA wants to ban 2. His family arrived legally under an immigration law MAGA wants to repeal 3. His father killed a woman while driving drunk, a crime for which MAGA aims to deport immigrants And much more. Read it.

He really doesn’t understand any of the most basic biology concepts at all, huh

The ACA isn't just "health care for people who don't have a conventional employer." It also disallows something that was incredibly common 20 years ago, which I fear is getting lost to generational memory: insurance companies could deny you health care for essentially any previous health problem.

This is the choice that those with power have made— This is the life they want for our children and us. It will continue until we change who is in power or how power functions here.

Rand Paul on mid-decade redistricting: "I think it's gonna lead to more civic tension & possibly more violence in our country. Think about it: if 35% of Texas is solidly Democrat & they have 0 representation, how does that make Democrats feel? I think it makes them feel they're not represented"

This is getting lost: For weeks Trump officials had the option to remove Abrego Garcia to Costa Rica, but refused to do so. Instead they kept trying to send him somewhere more dangerous. Costa Rica wasn't cruel and dehumanizing enough. This is deeply sick conduct. newrepublic.com/article/2043...

The richest man on the planet has a pinned tweet that's just straight up white nationalism. I can't say I miss Twitter!

It's kind of unbelievable how hard Bari Weiss and CBS News have been pushing their interview with Erika Kirk. Just total propaganda.

An American citizen had his face scanned by immigration agents while he was walking home from the gym in Chicago. Our story with @revealnews.org here: www.404media.co/how-a-us-cit...

This week, the City quietly dropped a new report indicating, once again, that the Raise the Age Law is not creating a "consequence-free" youth crime wave, as NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch has previously said.

In 2023, Wyoming Secretary of State Chuck Gray oversaw a purge of voter rolls that removed over 80,000 names. If anyone was purged by mistake, they’ll now have to meet Wyoming’s more restrictive requirements to reregister.

Trump on Americans' healthcare costs going up by 200-300%: "Don't make it sound so bad"

Wow. Be sure to read Mitch Daniel's celebration of the Indiana GOP's slap back at Trump, and particularly the passage where he compares Trump and his senior team to World War II area Soviet political commissars shooting Russian soldiers in the back. It's quite something. wapo.st/3Yp5lV7

Trumpers envisioned the torment of Abrego Garcia as a showcase for their lawlessness and assault on constitutional protections, and a demonstration that resistance was futile But due to the efforts of advocates, legislators and lawyers -- and resolute adherence to the law by judges -- they've failed

To give you a sense of how big a departure this year, the government doesn't do this for wanted criminals.

Ossoff: "She got her new insurance quote & it's $700 more per month than what she's paying now. She's diabetic. She had surgery a few months ago for something else. She told me she cried again bc she realized she's gonna have to cancel her insurance. She believes she might die bc of a policy choice"

Gallego: "This administration, since they started striking these boats illegally, has been very happy to show their snuff films . Now suddenly they're willing to show the first hit but not the second. Why? ... they're afraid the public is going to see the military killed 2 men that had surrendered."

COLLINS: You talk about 15 years of Obamacare. But that also means Republicans have had 15 years to come up with a solution and have not yet done so. ROGER MARSHALL: I'm not sure what we can say

Dear male White House reporters, The next time Trump insults one of your female colleagues, if one of you doesn’t interject and say “Excuse me, sir, but fuck you.” God is going to lose his mind. Regards, God

Thou shalt not start a war to distract everyone so you can continue to protect billionaire pedophiles.

Chris Rufo literally was a core figure in boosting a lie that Haitian immigrants in an Ohio town ate pets. He offered a bounty for “information” after the lie was repeatedly debunked. Spare us the navel-gazing nonsense.

Justice Frat Boy: “If the officers learn that the individual they stopped is a U. S. citizen or otherwise lawfully in the United States, they promptly let the individual go.”

House Intel Chair Rick Crawford on why he doesn't want video of the second Sept 2 boat strike released: "What the trained eye can detect from these videos may reveal sources and methods that would imperil troops." (But releasing video of the first strike didn't?)

TRUMP: “I said why is it we only take people from shithole countries? Why can't we have some people from Norway, Sweden, Denmark… But we always take people from Somalia— places that are filthy, dirty, disgusting.” Such a mystery what he means when he says this stuff, isn’t it?

JUST IN: A federal judge has blocked DHS from enforcing a new prohibition on “unusual noise” outside a government building in Oregon, saying it unconstitutionally criminalizes and chills free speech storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

If only there was a safe, cheap and effective way to halt its spread.

Imagine, for just a second, Biden saying this about Fox News. And I bet the absolutely feckless White House press corps won’t cover this like the legit constitutional 1A disaster this is.

A small business program allowed Christopher Dawson to win big contracts if he promised to uplift Native Hawaiians. Instead, federal prosecutors allege, he used the money to line his own pockets.

Folks look at you like you're crazy when you say we're in the midst of the worst, most unprecedented Article I constitutional crisis in American history, & then it's a day, & the president is illegally monetizing the office & stealing the power of the purse. Again.

yeah why won't the economy grow by uh *checks notes* 7.6 trillion a year

He’s a fucking child. “You said I couldn’t, so now I’m gonna” is what kids do when they are little. Like really little. Someone should tell him to not touch the stove.

This has been the plan since the outset, to make a Sovereign Wealth Fund AKA slush fund. I have yet to see anyone explain where the proceeds from the tariffs are going, and I suspect it’s the same place.

"Officers asked if they could take a picture of him to check if he was a U.S. citizen. Mubashir told reporters that he declined their request, because, 'How would a picture prove I’m a U.S. citizen?'"
