Epstein files giving House Republicans over two months paid vacation and counting.

I want to take this opportunity to connect some dots. This is not a mistake. This is on purpose. The right wing ethos hates government oversight. They try to take over government precisely so they can make it less effectual. We see this everywhere that has Republicans in charge.

if we'd treated their obvious baldfaced lies and deflections more like this over the past eight years maybe we wouldn't be in this situation shocking how easy it is when you actually see it done

I think: knowing how to code with AI assistance: absolutely an essential skill for developers to have. enshittifying everything by putting AI into everything consumer-facing? no, thanks.

My first impression of Remix 3 is that it’s a bunch of new APIs to do what we already do. It doesn’t seem to unlock new capabilities. HTML fragments are cool, but you can already do that by returning RSC from server functions in React. Astro supports it too.

idk man, if you’re getting to the point where you’re accusing prosecutors, judges, and metro police of being the enemy, i am skeptical you have achieved the kind of consolidation you need for this kind of a project

I feel like by the end of this we're going to have to come up with new legal claims to describe what they have been doing

"If there's anybody that can solve this unforced error that President Trump single-handedly caused, it's President Trump."

NEW—US Department of Education sent out standard Out of Office language to employees on Wednesday in light of shutdown. Later yesterday, workers tell me they found someone had updated their auto-responses without consent to a new one blaming Democrats. Version of original on left, updated on right:

we need evidence of two things: first, that trump can distinguish fantasy from reality and second, that trump is actually president

The scariest scenario for me is an incapacitated Trump with Miller fully running things. Because Miller ABSOLUTELY has the stomach for it, Miller is salivating at the idea of full totalitarianism. And he's too cocky even to think of it as a gamble, he thinks they win for sure.

When Stephen Miller talks about prosecuting domestic terrorists who malign Charlie Kirk, keep in mind that Miller has described the Democrats as a "domestic extremist organization" He wants to terrorize and silence half of this country

This is just the most basic scaffolding of what creates orderly and transparent equities and capital markets. Making America Like the 1920s again

Are you telling me these people are malicious *and* incompetent? Well, I never

It is pretty amazing to see people go from “the left is the enemy of democracy and must be purged” to “who can really know why good kids do bad things?”

It’s also worth noting that as soon as it became clear the Trump shooter had no real legible politics and certainly not from “the left” he completely vanished into anonymity. No one knows his name.

I'm not trying to say anything about the shooter's ideology yet, we don't know enough. But internet nihilism almost always boils down to fundamentally dehumanizing assumptions that hinge on fascist conceptions of personhood and worthiness.

Let's be super clear: these people are dumb, but releasing a preliminary, uncredited, evidence-free memo saying the bullets included trans ideology fits the Trump agenda It's almost certainly on purpose

This is such a funny element to the Kirk eulogizing: they can’t describe him the way they’re describing him *and* show clips of anything he actually said or did

Them: but what about Bill Cli All of us:

In a world where exposing criminality is just a tool to be wielded for enemies, then an argument about Bill Clinton makes sense. In a world where wrongdoing should be exposed on all sides without fear or favor...bring it on. It makes for a better regime to live under.

Q: but what if a full Epstein investigation also takes down Bill Clinton????? A:

What a month today has been

It's notable that Kavanaugh's concurrence that is getting roundly derided is not only the compromise position but also emphasizes why opinions are important. The public deserves to know the court's reasoning because it's a source of legitimacy. Without that, it's just an exercise of raw power.

The New Yorker asked me “how bad” today’s Supreme Court ruling was. I boiled it down to one paragraph: link.newyorker.com/view/5bda429...

Leaving aside his contempt for taking domestic violence seriously, please remember that DHS has repeatedly argued that Kilmar Abrego Garcia was a dangerous menace to the nation because of allegations of domestic violence. Is it not a crime? Or is it a crime so serious it merit deportation?

The Republicans are doing what they are doing because they plan on never leaving power. Its simple. They believe they have done enough damage to hold power for decades and looking at the reality on the ground they may be correct as their “opposition” at the national level is unwilling to stop them

idk - branding humans like cattle, chaining them to dead bodies, feeding them to each other, filling them with gunpowder then blowing them up, burying them alive for insects to eat -- it being so bad mothers killed their children and people jumped from ships to drown seems, like, super bad dude

This is one of the things I used to talk about a lot. One of the characteristics of Whiteness is that it cannot be interrogated. It cannot be assigned traits. Whiteness and its works are treated as "default". Never part of a trend that can be identified. Especially if that trend is negative.

Trump team is doing literal information warfare around intensified political violence and Democrats are still confirming nominees and cooperating on bipartisan legislation

Hey y’all, I’ve been thinking about how fast things changed for all Latiné people in LA. And what I’ve personally done to protect myself and my family. I thought it might be helpful for some of you so thought I’d share. 🧵

80th day of Trump's bribery scheme operating out in the open.

Oh wow who could have foreseen

I am convinced a major factor in the tariff disaster is that Trump has so consistently been met with cowardice and capitulation from every quarter in American politics that he imagined other countries would just as easily fold to bullying.

As the author of a history of concentration camps, I would like to emphasize that this is a very bad idea, and we should definitely not do it.

Republicans in Congress can end this any time

Oh shit.

The race for an open seat in the Wisconsin Supreme Court “is now a proxy battle for whether the American government at every level can be bought by oligarchs,” Ben Wikler, the chair of the Wisconsin Democratic Party, said.

He’s so close to getting it

I am trying to imagine what they think recruiting and retention numbers would be trying to fight wars in canada, greenland, the middle east, and against every blue state at the same time. especially when they're cutting VA benefits

React 19.1 has just been released! Check out the latest updates here: github.com/facebook/rea...

this is really sad there are lots of solutions to the problem of pinning package manager versions but something distributed with node was the closest to a possible pragmatic solution maintainers will have much more friction in our lives going forward

Let me break this down for non-lawyers: 1. By tomorrow at 10 EST, someone with Cabinet-level authority has to update the Court on whether they're invoking state secret privilege. 2. By 3/25, the judge wants a sworn statement from a government official on whether the privilege will be invoked

Jessica: When I hear Republicans out there talking about their plan for education in America, I don't hear them talking about making sure disabled kids have access to a public education. Greg: Because we're against it.
