Idk man, this could be every politician

Nationalizing elections is unconstitutional. But it's also a terrible idea because in our world of a unitary executive doing so would put Trump in charge of the elections, he believes he has immunity in all things, & that means he could (& rest assured he would) cheat without negative consequences.

AI as a customer service replacement SUCKS big time. People, tell your companies how much IT DOES NOT WORK!!! Humans are so much better!

“Just one more thing, sir. You said Epstein files a hoax, you’re in them thousands of times. Affordability is a hoax, yet you’re on an affordability tour. Tough on drugs, then freed a 400-ton trafficker. Law & order who pardoned 169 who assaulted cops. Frankly, Mrs. Columbo says you’re a criminal.”

A federal judge is weighing Attorney General Pam Bondi’s blackmail letter to Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as evidence that the administration is using the presence of armed federal agents as coercion to achieve policy goals. trib.al/tcKLaft

Remember when everyone joked about Ivana being buried at Trump's Golf Course Ummmm.......👇

As a journalist who has spent decades sitting in churches, many of them *very* rightwing, because understanding their beliefs, & how they’re expressed, matters, I’d like to see some journalists on the ground bring us that news. Just attend. Tell us about the songs, the sermon, the socializing.

SCOOP: 404 Media is publishing a version of the user guide for ELITE, a tool Palantir made for ICE which brings up dossiers on individual people and provides a “confidence score” of their address. The full user guide here:

Palantir employees are pressing company leadership over its work for ICE in internal company Slacks obtained by @wired.com "In my opinion ICE are the bad guys. I am not proud that the company I enjoy so much working for is part of this." Scoop from @makenakelly.bsky.social

Stephen Miller and his sadistic cult

Khanna: "I do think the Epstein issue is what most concerns Donald Trump ... Donald Trump knows this has broken into the culture. It's broken into the culture because he said he was gonna hold people accountable, hold the elites accountable, and now he and Pam Bondi are protecting the elites."

“Trump has used the office of the presidency to make at least $1.4 billion.” It’s not a presidency – it’s a criminal heist after 77 million voters let him into the vault. (NYT gift link)

f*uck

Livestock grazing is allowed across 240 million acres of federal land. Our investigation revealed the subsidies propping up ranching, its impact on the environment and the politics underpinning the system.

Great video. I have trees. Lots. Thanks for this.

This could be the unified Dem position. It is wildly popular. Puts the regime on defense on two fronts at the same time. Good policy, good politics.

NEWS: The U.S. Department of Justice has formally moved to block the appointment of an independent monitor or special master to oversee the release of Epstein-related records

ICYMI: In a late night filing, DOJ argues the federal courts cannot force them to comply with the law requiring release of all the Epstein files.

Senile Satan: “I’ve been waiting for this moment all my life, oh Lord, oh Lord. Thank you for your attention to my lifelong dream, the Insurrection Act in blue states.”

Trump wants Congress to fund 44,500 additional ICE detention beds and massive warehouse facilities for immigrants capable of holding 80,000 people at a time. Your tax dollars. Abolish ICE now.

Every year, Newsom vetoes DOZENS of progressive bills, so this is totally unsurprising. Most are passed with a 2/3 majority, so his veto could easily be over-ridden. But there's never an effort to do so. That lack of legislative push-back is a big factor in letting Newsom be so shitty.

Sen Warren’s speech was good. I hope Dems are listening.

Chills. 🙌🙏🫶💪👏✊️👇

"Ronald Lauder, the billionaire Estée Lauder heir who, according to former U.S. national security adviser John Bolton, first put the idea of “buying” Greenland into Donald Trump’s mind, has quietly taken ownership stakes in Greenlandic companies." www.arctictoday.com/trump-ally-w...

Billionaires threatening to leave if they are taxed is really just code for threatening to primary politicians. But saying that would give up the game a little too explicitly.

Here's an idea: Any Democrat who wants to be taken seriously as a presidential candidate in 2028 must pledge to rip this cabal of anti-democracy tech fascists out of our government. Anyone who won't make that pledge is for the billionaires, not the people. This must be a deal-breaking litmus test.
