Will MAGA accuse WaPo of being anti-semetic now then? 🤔

Not the main point here, read the whole thread, but it is astonishing that it took children getting dragged out of apartment buildings and ICE shooting pastors for Dems to realize we are in fact in an information war. And Dems, post Obama, have ceded enormous advantages to their opponents in it.

Weird how that didn’t make the cut.

She was little but glib snark, lies, and obfuscation while dramatically shuffling papers pretending to be looking something up.

Asserting a License to Kill: Why the Caribbean Strike is a Dangerous Departure from the “War on Terror” An absence of credible legal basis for the Caribbean strike suggests the Trump admin is asserting a prerogative to kill outside the law.

As the nominee to be Army GC pushed the specious notion that strikes in the Caribbean are akin to those in the "war on terror," I'm reposting my essay from @justsecurity.org.

No armed attack like 9/11.

No congressional AUMF.

No armed conflict.

Not the same.

“Pritzker and Newsom see it as a defining challenge of this moment that Trump is consolidating authoritarian power daily, and using it to subjugate and dominate Blue America as if it’s akin to an enemy nation within. And they are shaping their approach accordingly.”

Newsom has done the same. After Trump tried to dispatch California’s National Guard into Portland, Newsom warned: “America is on the brink of martial law.””

“Pritzker and Newsom are now plainly motivated by an understanding like this one. Pritzker has plunged very deeply into the public argument over Trump’s troops in Chicago. In urgent moral language, he has told his state’s residents that Trump represents a dangerous threat to their way of life.”

“…in Miller’s worldview…what really matters is the political attention economy, and how conflict plays within it. Supercharging searing civil tensions over jarring high-profile events drives attention, jolts low-propensity voters out of their information ruts, and compels them to really take sides.”

💯Must Read!

Inside Stephen Miller’s Secret Plan to Normalize Trump’s Dictator Rule He wants to supercharge searing civil tensions to get low-information voters to embrace their inner authoritarian. Exactly two Democrats appear to fully grasp this.

Illinois Gov JB Pritzker and California Gov Gavin Newsom are doing something new and important: They understand Stephen Miller's theory of fascist power politics, and they've developed a theory on how to combat it.

"This is supposed to be an oversight hearing" -- Schiff helpfully ticks through all of the incriminating questions -- and there are many of them -- that Bondi refused to answer during today's hearing

Opinion | Six surgeons general: It’s our duty to warn the nation about RFK Jr. We took an oath to declare dangers when we found them. We’re doing that again today.

“Never before have we issued a joint public warning like this. But the profound, immediate and unprecedented threat that Kennedy’s policies and positions pose to the nation’s health cannot be ignored.”

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

Core 1A speech.

With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

NEW: GLOBAL RENEWABLES OVERTAKES COAL

How the heck did that happen so quickly?!...🧵

Well they certainly don’t understand that MAGA won’t start watching CBS News because of these changes. None of the legacy media that have tried catering to the right have built big new audiences.

OMB deletes reference to law guaranteeing backpay to furloughed feds from shutdown guidance An Office of Management and Budget FAQ document now states that only excepted employees forced to work without pay are guaranteed backpay at the conclusion of a lapse in appropriations.

If you didn't realize this earlier, this latest action by the Administration amply demonstrates it does not have the back of federal workers.

🚨 Rep. Jim McGovern attempted to swear in Adelita Grijalva, Rep Elect AZ-07, but they would NOT recognize him in the House. He has a candid reason as to why he thinks this happened. 1/2

Sen. Dick Durbin presses Pam Bondi on FBI personnel reportedly being asked to flag instances of Trump's name appearing in the Epstein files.

Bondi says she's "not going to discuss anything about that with you."

Durbin: "Eventually, you're going to have to answer for your conduct."

There are scads of laws that cover gvt shutdowns because they are common. But they assume everyone has a good faith desire to maintain the proper functioning of the government and treat employees well. So those wanting to use shutdowns to instead destroy parts of the gvt may find loopholes.

Ariana Grande wants to know…

All that paper shuffling as if she’s looking something up but then just glibly offers snark and lies.

Miles was chief of staff at DHS in Trump’s first term 👇🏽

Psychiatrists call for RFK Jr. to be replaced as health secretary Two groups are calling for new leadership at HHS after Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s actions on substance abuse treatment and mental health medications, among other issues.

Body-cam footage contradicts ICE's claim that Marimar Martinez, 30, drove towards officers before one of them opened fire on her in Chicago late Saturday morning. It's past time to start arresting ICE agents and prosecuting them.

Why is a top medical official giving dumb, harmful, “nonsensical” advice? @vinguptamd.bsky.social says no and we should, too.

Pritzker is also furious: “Should National Governors Association leadership choose to remain silent, Illinois will have no choice but to withdraw from the organization.”

A bit about this in the Irish press from Monday: www.irishtimes.com/politics/202...
I hope they eventually release a breakdown of how the return was calculated! I'm sure they will - seems like the whole world is paying attention...
