Might be the greatest opening paragraph of anything ever.

Article I, section 7, clause 1 No Money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of Appropriations made by Law But sure, go ahead.

Trump on TSA funding: "I'm suggesting to the Republican Party do not make any deal on anything" Congress leaves town tomorrow for 2 weeks. They aren't going to have TSA money before they go. Blame the GOP and Donald Trump for all of this.

The AI economy looks...really precarious. So @matteowong.bsky.social & I did a bunch of reporting to try to figure out what happens when a potential bubble collides with a war in Iran and a potential resource shortage. The answer is...arguably the most dire stuff i've heard from smart ppl in a while

Now, everyone flying out of a major U.S. airport can have themselves an up-close look at the clattering irony of Trumpian misrule as they stand in epically long security queues to watch recently redeployed ICE agents lumber around, stewing in their own pointlessness. trib.al/HMHNd2O

WHITE HOUSE STAFFERS ‘BAFFLED’ OVER TRUMP CLAIMING IRAN GAVE HIM A PRIZE RELATED TO STRAIT OF HORMUZ: REPORT President Donald Trump was uncharacteristically tight-lipped about the gift, describing it only as ‘a very big present, worth a tremendous amount of money’ @the-independent.com

The Trump administration could really restore confidence by getting the entire Cabinet to ride a tanker through the Straits of Hormuz to show everyone how safe and easy it is now. They could bring along a lot of MAGA influencers and Fox News hosts to broadcast it all live!

Trump’s outright bigotry against an entire ethnic minority continues to stain this country. It’s gutter racism with real consequences; the government itself has been ordered to target this minority group for special disfavor.

False dichotomy. The algorithm is literally rigged toward anti-immigrant and anti-trans snuff, which dictates the conversation. Even more importantly, normie audiences simply aren't there. They're on Instagram, YouTube, and a little bit on TikTok. The middle, like ~all celebrities, left years ago.

The next time someone intimates that Republicans are just preternaturally gifted at economics, Democrats should pull out this clip.

They're low IQ ... but also setup elaborate schemes to steal payments from a country they only recently arrived in? 🤣

Trump: "In Minnesota, it's very Somalia-oriented. These people come from a crooked country, disgusting country, one of the worst countries in the world. They come to our country -- low IQs -- and they rob us blind. Stupid people, and they rob us blind."

“That just doesn’t make sense to me — when the richest people have the smallest effective tax rate, that does not seem like a very fair system.” #LiftTheCap

Somewhere in the North Korean Propaganda Ministry an official winces and says: “That’s a bit much.”

The IOC has announced a trans and intersex athlete ban requiring an invasive SRY genetic test for female athletes. In the 20+ years trans women were eligible, only one ever competed and none ever medaled. This is solving for a problem that doesn't exist. www.nbcnews.com/sports/olymp...

I'm not sure what to make of it, but every Somali I represent in immigration court currently (8 of them) have today had their hearings cancelled and their judges reassigned. They're now all assigned to a video judge from Louisiana and scheduled for court hearing in one month. 🧵

Turns out that when every Somali case I have in court suddenly got expedited and reassigned to a new judge, it wasn't just me! The DOJ has officially denied that there is an expedited "Somali Docket," but now the public data refutes their denial. Here are the highlights: 🧵 bklg.org/blog/somali-...

This is an absolute scandal; the United States government is deliberately consolidating all deportation cases of an ethnic minority that the President has called "garbage" in front of a handpicked group of judges and with dramatically accelerated timeline. A lawsuit was filed yesterday against it.

it's incredible that as long as you do the right amount of bigotry you can just rob the country blind and enough people will not care, even though those same people will be filled with incandescent rage if someone uses food stamps to buy a 12 pack of diet coke

This is probably the least surprising piece of news ever.
