"Pete, you strike the second the Epstein Files are released and you keep killing and blowing things up until Americans stop talking about those files. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Have a hot teen bring me a Diet Coke."

Had to happen at some point, but this is the worst rebuke of an FBI director by the rank and file that i have ever seen. A typical FBI director in a typical DOJ wouldn't be able to survive it.

Sam Corcos, who entered government with DOGE earlier this year, decided to kill DirectFile after one meeting with with tax software lobbyists.

Six months after ICE apprehended 47 people, including nine kids, in Hays County, Tex., County Judge Ruben Becerra says DHS has ignored his attempts to get answers:
“We’re not told why they took them, and we’re not told where they took them. By definition, that’s a kidnapping.”
They aren't complying with discovery because if they did, it would lead to disclosure of materials that establish beyond any doubt James' case on vindictive prosecution. The sanction for noncompliance is that the court accepts this inference. The case should then be dismissed, very quickly, too.

A federal judge says he's going to issue a Temporary Restraining Order requiring ICE to make changes at the Broadview facility in Chicago, a facility that until January was only for stays under 12 hours "absent exceptional circumstances," but has become, in Judge Gettleman's words, "a prison."

Here’s what I learned: he doesn’t give a shit.
Good discussion.
I agree with @hcrichardson.bsky.social on targeted strikes vs. a general strike in the US. The political scientist in me urges many to go back and better understand the period from 1870 through Jim Crow.

We see you, Admiral Levine.
We remember your name.
And we remember what it meant -- what it still means -- to see someone like you reflected in the halls of power. 🌈

It takes immense bravery to live authentically, especially under an administration that treats authenticity as defiance.
That’s character -- the kind of integrity this regime could never hope to have.

In the halls of the Department of Health and Human Services, a photo of Admiral Rachel Levine now hangs -- but with her *deadname* printed beneath it.
It’s a quiet act of cruelty. And it says so much about how this Regime sees trans people.
Next time a Republican claims this is a “Democrat Shutdown,” they should be reminded that Russell Vought, the president’s top budget adviser, encouraged the GOP in Congress to shut down the government because it’s easier to dismantle the government when it is closed. He's on record liking shutdowns.
