His first term attempt failed primarily because of incompetence, but it was also aimed at the 2020 decennial census, not trying to hold a census in the middle of the decade.

AIPAC is now promoting and amplifying praise of the Trump Administration’s effort to revoke the @apnews.com’s White House press credentials, because the AP published a story on the hardships faced by civilian victimsβ€”including gravely injured childrenβ€”of Israel’s pager attack in Lebanon.

This has been a problem in creating deepfake regulations too, it’s hard to create sufficiently protective AI regulation that isn’t overbroad

Jay Bhattacharya says that Program Officers made up banned words lists at NIH.

This is a real email I got at NIH. (Granted, before Jay started.) But nothing has changed since he joined.

I refused to censor the summary, so it remains unposted. And I have tried since Jay arrived.

Pritzker: Neither Texas nor the FBI at the federal level has the authority to arrest these Texas Democrats

They’re welcome to visit to take in the great views and enjoy the incredible restaurants we have. But they won’t be taking anyone home with them, or out of the state.

There should be, but would a (Trump) judge consider ICE regulations neutral laws of general applicability

TEXAS @repcasar.bsky.social : β€œImagine in another country a corrupt president was trying to change the election laws. Then that president’s political ally threatened to remove all the legislators of the other party to get it done. That’s what’s happening in Texas right now.”

Top Trump officials will discuss Epstein strategy at Wednesday dinner hosted by Vance

The administration's handling of the Epstein case, as well as the need to craft a unified response, is expected to be a main focus of the dinner, three sources familiar with the meeting told CNN. The meeting will include White House chief of staff Susie Wiles, Vice President JD Vance, Attorney General Pam Bondi, FBI
Director Kash Patel and Blanche.

The WH Chief of Staff, Vice President, Attorney General, and FBI Director are having a meeting to determine the "political strategy" around the child pedophile case circling around the President???

Is that worse or better than when Bill Clinton walked across a tarmac? (Also bad, btw!)

federal R lawmakers actually participated in a coup attempt, which disqualified them under the constitution. Ds made zero effort to bar them from office.

which was a huge fuck up, imo.

Democratic senators should ignore GOP attacks over not confirming Trump's nominees, and instead go on the offensive: Attack Republican senators for not voting to release the Epstein files. And urge voters to go to Republican senators' town halls or find them elsewhere to challenge them on this.

Now That They’re Free, Venezuelan Men Want the World to Know What They Endured in CECOT Venezuelan men deported by the Trump administration say they endured months of physical and mental abuse inside a Salvadoran prison. Though happy to be home, they say the fact that they were released…

Leonardo JosΓ© Colmenares SolΓ³rzano, a 31-year-old Venezuelan, wants the world to know that he was tortured over four months in a Salvadoran prison.

He said guards stomped on his hands, poured filthy water into his ears and threatened to beat him.

The family of a 16-year-old dual American-Palestinian citizen is trying to secure his release from an Israeli prison where he has been held in detention for more than five months and where they say he has lost a significant amount of weight and developed a severe skin infection.

Muhammad Zaher Ibrahim was still 15 when he was arrested at his family’s home in the occupied West Bank village of Silwad in February. According to relatives, he was blindfolded and handcuffed before being taken to the Megiddo prison in Israel, where he remains in pre-trial detention accused of throwing rocks – accusations his family denies.

Muhammad, the youngest of five, lives in the West Bank but his family splits their time between the village and Palm Bay, Florida. His father, Zaher Ibrahim, reached out to Republican congressman Mike Haridopolos from their home state of Florida in March, pleading for help after more than 45 days without contact with his son.

A 16-year old US citizen has been imprisoned by Israel since he was 15 on the accusation he was "throwing rocks."

The Guardian learned about his existence through reporting on his 20-year-old cousin who was beaten to death by Israeli settlers.

US officials have ignored the family's pleas for help.
