El-Sayed: "Once a government agency like ICE is told it has impunity to do the worst things and violate the highest law of the land, which is the Constitution itself, I don't think you can reform or retrain. I think we need to start from scratch ... I think we need to abolish it."

Notice DOJ doesn't talk about its efforts to obtain state voter files anymore. They are 0-20 in those cases and today is the beginning of the quiet period -- states can no longer do systematic removals of names from the voter rolls.
TLDR: We won!🥳

On a private call, Todd Blanche said his goal was to make the "Dobbs decision permanent in every single state."
This isn’t just a confirmation vote anymore—it’s a roll-call vote on which Senators endorse BANNING abortion in ALL 50 states.
I’m voting NO.

Wow! @menendez.house.gov says that the EXACT scenario I flagged two months ago, where ICE "releases" someone having a medical emergency solely so their death won't be recorded as occurring while in custody, happened last month at the infamous Delaney Hall detention center in Newark, NJ.

Republicans scheduled their Medicare cuts for January 2027. They want to say, “Look! The Democrats took back the House and cut your Medicare.”
If you know someone on Medicare, expose the Republicans' dirty trick.

The Big Ugly Bill cut Medicare by $536 billion starting AFTER the elections. What kind of thoughtless idiocy cuts programs that seniors' lives depend on and thinks they won't notice? #MomSky #RepublicanMedicareCuts

they're absolutely going to try
This is it right here. This is the shit people ignore. Trump is back in office and every single J6er got let out of jail. Why on earth would they NOT try it again. There were absolutely no consequences for doing J6. They won. They're back in power and the thugs are free.
Jan 6th worked out fine for them so it's pretty obvious they'll do it again

the next president has a duty to the country to prove that “tax immunity” is a completely made up thing that doesnt exist. they need to do this through intense prosecution to signal to future leaders what will happen if they try this
FLAG: Trump gets to keep tax immunity for himself, his sons, and the Trump Organization under the new 'deal' struck by Todd Blanche.
The new order also reaffirms that Trump won't have to pay any taxes he might have owed the IRS.

This is morally monstrous behavior. These are ordinary, innocent people that Trump is condemning to suffering & death out of political vindictiveness. Every decent human being, regardless of political party, should condemn it. Where is the fucking *anger*? From the press? From civic leaders? Pols?
FEMA said yes to Democratic disaster requests. Trump killed them anyway.
President Donald Trump cast aside bipartisan precedent when he rejected eligible disaster requests from four blue states.

St Louis is being cooked by Climate Change. Keep them in mind and recognize that its coming to you eventually too unless we work like crazy to just limit the damage. We are past the point of stopping the damage. Because Fuck Corporations and the GOP and the Powell Memo.

One of the greatest ironies of modern times will be that the anti-immigration far-right, by also denying climate-change for so long, will bring about the largest mass migration in the history of our species by making large parts of our planet uninhabitable.

But of course, read the whole thread. Grateful for Cory Doctorow, and grateful he writes about Silicon Valley with a flamethrower....
As an economic pathology, AI is *extraordinary*. AI boosters have spent a baffling and terrifying sum of money - over $1.4T, most of that in the past year - on the promise of making as many workers unemployed as possible, while lowering the wages of the meager survivors of this jobspocalypse.
