Also as we have seen the pattern of horrible person removed and replaced by even more horrible person in this administration. Happened with Noem and Bovino.
And his votes have remained unchanged...
Loosed from the chains of running for reelection, Thom Tillis has decided to go out pretending that he is a moral actor. But we all know who he is, we all know what he's done, he gets no reputation buff for a potential 9 months of baseline decency after a 2 decade political career of rot.
Immigrants claiming their detention is illegal have filed more than 18,000 challenges in federal court.
The cases, known as habeas petitions, total more than were filed under the last three administrations combined, including Trump’s first term.
Netanyahu is a product of MIT and Harvard & other US schools in his childhood and teen years.
The memes. He thinks this is a game.
3,800 meatpacking workers, represented by UFCW Local 7, could go on strike as early as March 16
The union canceled their contract extension agreement. 99% of workers voted to authorize a strike
It would be the first strike at the plant, the largest to hit the industry in decades
The Trump administration is reportedly crafting a $50 billion supplemental funding request aimed at financing its war, which has killed more than 1,000 Iranians and counting.
Republicans are “debating whether to attach wildfire aid and $15 billion in tariff relief for farmers” to the supplemental funding measure in an effort to attract Democratic support.
Nashville reporter's detention by federal immigration officials poses grave threat to press freedom and the public’s right to know. A thread on Estefany Rodriguez: www.freepress.net/news/free-pr...
what a terrible time to not have foreign bureaus b/c the billionaire owner of a news org decided to shutter them
"Whereas in the last election cycle, we saw large law firms working really actively against various voter suppression efforts and election subversion efforts, now, they are simply not engaged in those cases at all...That’s the real-world impact of the chilling effect."
at this point the Supreme Court's emergency docket is itself an emergency
It’s always “Healthcare is too expensive.”
But somehow there’s always billions for bombs.
Tennessee wants to ban undocumented children from access to a free public education, and turn school administrators into immigration informants. The Heritage Foundation wants to take that plan national. Read my latest for @theintercept.com:
In 2024, I investigated a powerful film studio/real estate executive and his racist, antisemitic communications.
He exchanged messages about the stench of Black people.
Now he’s running for Congress in Georgia to support Trump. I wrote about it here: open.substack.com/pub/nicolefc...

As we reported in @boltsmag.org last month, Massachusetts is the *only* state with a Democratic governor + legislature that maintains a state-level 287(g) agreement with ICE. As part of this agreement, Massachusetts often funnels people exiting prison into deportation.

The Massachusetts Department of Correction has been fighting me for months, trying to withhold data about its collaboration with ICE.
Yesterday, I won that fight, and obtained records showing that the state has transferred more than 2,000 people into ICE custody since 2009.
A quick thread:
Our tax dollars hard at work...
(the grift, the graft, the corruption, *actual fraud, waste and abuse*)

He'll be voting for more money for DHS tomorrow... but thanks for playing, I guess?
We are a mighty club over in the treatable, not curable cancer crew. People would be surprised how many of us are out here just vibing and living in spite of the tumors, treatment etc.
It's disgusting how much Georgia law facilitates this
Noem is really digging in on it depends on what the meaning of the word "is" is smh
Now, growing media consolidation in bed with Trump is watering down critical coverage, removing DEI policies in these companies, forcing ever widening fragmentation of our information systems. We are more & more divided, overwhelmed, ready for authoritarians who give easy solutions. We must resist.
