A navy torpedo detonates under the target, lifts it out of the water and cracks the hull. The people who aren’t thrown overboard by the blast are knocked unconscious and buried alive in their compartments when the ship sinks. We did that to 141 people today for no reason.

We have to contest the extremists. We have to fight for every seat. We have to run in races we know we will lose, because nothing will change Mike Moon or his colleagues on that side of the aisle except showing them the exit. open.substack.com/pub/jesspipe...

This “it’s not a war but a special military operation” is very Kremlin March 2022. As is the propaganda that we are not starting a war but ending one. As is the confusion of oligarch media as it tries to be faithful in the confusion…

Government-issued Real IDs and driver’s licenses aren’t proof of citizenship, and most people aren’t walking around with a passport.

All flights to and from El Paso, Texas, have been grounded for ten days for “Special Security Reasons”, the Federal Aviation Administration announced. Shutting down airspace of a major US city for such an extended period hasn’t happened since the aftermath of 9-11.

This says it and it’s exactly what it is….

Read the letters referenced by Rep. James Walkinshaw here:

Trump's attacks on the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, which have included gutting its workforce and dropping enforcement actions, have cost consumers nearly $20B in the last year alone. It's a new golden age for corporate crooks. And Trump is happily letting them rip us off.

🚨HOLY CRAP. The Trump admin just took a SLEDGEHAMMER to due process, largely eliminating the Board of Immigration Appeals process and MANDATING DISMISSAL of ALL appeals (which cost $1,000 thanks to OBBBA) filed after tomorrow unless a majority of the BIA votes to hear the case.
