Ezra Klein: Donald Trump is doing videos the right way

The video ends by calling Dems "woke pieces of shit"

NEW: Rachel Maddow drops unseen bodycam footage of feds coordinating the arrest of Newark Mayor Baraka. I REPEAT: the feds ordered his arrest even though he wasn’t breaking any laws. Federal agent: “We are arresting the mayor right now per the Deputy Attorney General of the United States.”

Pritzker: "People of Illinois, we need your help. Get our your cell phones, record and narrate what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know that this is happening and that we won't stand for it."

For those who may be unfamiliar, here’s the paragraph that is from:

Bro didn’t even make it a whole sentence before being outright blasphemous & showing that you have to be an asshole by law if your parents named you Giff.

Principled conservative jurists ARE concerned. The 6-3 majority thinks they can put their thumbs on electoral scales to stop Dems from getting a turn again, and if worst comes to worst, just change the rule again.

A bunch of four-star generals and admirals being lectured on the "warrior ethos" by a decrepit old draft dodger and a smarmball who somehow made it to major in the National Guard.

I’m really grateful for Pritzker. But that he’s so good at this also makes clear just how badly most other Democrats are failing to meet the moment.

Actual excerpts from the text of the Trump administration's (DOA) peace plan.

A lot of people think that every international student admitted means one fewer spot for domestic students, when the opposite is more likely true - the tuition revenue international students bring allows public universities to provide substantial discounts to domestic students, improving access.

JUST IN: Judge Simon sets a restraining order hearing for *tonight* on Trump's deployment of the National Guard in Oregon. Suggests he could issue a very quick order.

Today in "DOJ gets dinged by a federal court," the DC Circuit just denied DOJ's unopposed motion to reschedule the Nov. 24 oral argument in the AP access case b/c DOJ ignored the DC Circuit rules, under which DOJ should have informed the court about availability issues in July or early August.

I will never forgive the Woke Left for stopping me from buying 500 goldfish at WalMart

Priztker: if federal agents fired upon journalists and protesters, when unprovoked, what would we call it?  I don't think we'd have any trouble calling it what it is. Authoritarianism.  So let's not pretend it's something else when it happens in our American cities.

I sure hope the ADL is proud that they stuck up for Elon Musk when he did a Nazi salute back in January.

Managing partner dog vigilant against associates attempting to leave office for "lunch"

These GOP politicians have to stop describing largely peaceful urban centers like Portland and Chicago as war zones. The unpeaceful parts are where the Feds have shown up to spread fear and abuse.

What's your sign?

Democracy (and capitalism) at work

Broadview Police have opened an investigation into an attack from federal agents on a CBS crew at Broadview, per BPD Chief Mills.

1. A day after the Michigan church shooting, Republicans are silent after learning the shooter was a MAGA extremist. No investigations of Trump supporters as terrorists. No national conversations about the rights of cisgender men. The silence is deafening. Subscribe to support our journalism.

President Trump says "it's not appropriate" to take questions now about the Gaza peace plan but if Netanyahu wants to take a question from "a friendly Israeli reporter," he can. The prime minister declines the suggestion.

Sir that is no way to talk to the Supreme Court

"one officer smiled for a selfie with her as she cried."

You can disagree with how Eric Adams ran the city, but you have to admit he did more to expose Emil Bove’s corruption than any other mayor.

Man, first the pinkos at Cato produce a chart showing right-wing violence is much more prevalent than left-wing, and now the woke antifa National Review is claiming the Comey Indictment is invalid!

Okay, someone on X posted the full video of the guy on a bike being chased by Border Patrol in Chicago. Before they took off after him, he said “Fuck Trump.” He then dropped his own phone, and when he went back to grab it, that’s why they started chasing him. x.com/wutangkids/s...

By accepting hundreds of thousands of dollars to fly to Saudi Arabia and make jokes about transgendered people at the crown-prince-sponsored Riyadh Comedy Festival, Dave Chappelle and Louis C.K. are displaying fearless defiance of humorless wokeness -- tomorrow in the @nytimes.com

EXCLUSIVE: The number of people charged with breaking federal drug laws dropped to the lowest level in decades this year after the Trump administration ordered enforcement agencies to focus on deporting immigrants, a @reuters.com review of court dockets found. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

fun fact that while trump v. us says that the president cannot be held criminally liable for using his core powers, this does not extend to his officers

Seeing people worried that Saudis and the Kushners are involved and that it will MAGA the product and I don't think you'll need to worry about that because I think EA is gonna close within 5 years. This is an insane move.

Post’s new opinions editor explains how they support Republicans and Democrats at different points … with interesting examples

This is absolutely ridiculous, would devastate numerous academic fields, and would destroy the lives of people I love very much. Please, please join me in sending a comment in on this telling them so

Justice Kavanaugh: “If the person is a U. S. citizen or otherwise lawfully in the United States, that individual will be free to go after the brief encounter.”

Whole lot of games are going to become insipidly, performatively anti-woke.

As a former gamer, I cannot overstate how big of a deal this right-wing takeover of Electronic Arts is. Are they going to create video games where they kidnap and dismember journalists like Jamal Khashoggi?

I think the Trump admin assumed no one would try to find out who the people on the boats they blew up really were

Ken White @kenwhite.bsky.social gives a great description of the doctrine of “vindictive prosecution” in this free preview of Serious Trouble. He also discusses my concerns about Comey’s public statement after the indictment. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s...

If William Rehnquist were in his 20s today, he would 100 percent be an aggressively online Groyper who declines to join his law school's FedSoc chapter because it's "a little too woke" ballsandstrikes.substack.com/p/william-re...

1. Wut? 2. How, exactly, do you suppose this is going to work?

Great time to be a fentanyl dealer because all the guys who are supposed to investigate and prosecute you are going after doordash drivers and moms instead

Secretary: How are you? Me: [actually still mad at the young parking attendant who said SIR ARE YOU OKAY DO YOU NEED ASSISTANCE with great concern when I fell down several stairs at the Music Center and also irritable at my wrist and knee still hurting] ABSOLUTELY FINE THANK YOU Secretary: ….

ICE attempted and failed to disappear a food delivery guy. It needed to be scored.

Trump on Mamdani: "He is going to have problems with Washington like no Mayor in the history of our once great City. Remember, he needs the money from me, as President, in order to fulfill all of his FAKE Communist promises. He won’t be getting any of it, so what’s the point of voting for him?"

Coal's decline is primarily due to expanded production of natural gas, which is cheaper and cleaner, beating coal on the market. The other main factor in the decline of coal jobs is automation, as the dwindling industry relies more on mountaintop removal. This is cultural nostalgia, not economics.

Am I reading this correctly? A grad student ... in Computer Science ... enrolled in an undergraduate seminar ... in the American Indian and Indigenous Studies program ... where he ignored the readings and hijacked discussions to talk about Israel and defend its actions in Gaza? What the hell?
