Not kidding a little bit. One sheriff in North Louisiana owns two prisons in South Louisiana. And the opposite is true: one sheriff in South Louisiana owns prisons in North Louisiana. They each send prisoners to the other's facilities.

Pam Bondi says Mr. Garcia was labeled M-13 by two judges but doesn't say that there was a unanimous ruling by SCOTUS to return him.

Is SCOTUS the last word on the law or is Bondi?

BREAKING: 36k people showed up in LA for Bernie and AOC’s rally. In the off year.

Americans are pissed β€” and anyone ignoring that is making a big mistake.

This is part of what’s so insane. As they talk about re-shoring and manufacturing they are actively trying to destroy an entire us manufacturing industry that already exists.

List of countries not subjected to tariffs:

Russia
Belarus
North Korea
Cuba

They apparently took the time to impose tariffs on several uninhabited islands, so the omissions are extra noteworthy. If you spot others please flag!

a bunch of government goons from ICE/HSI showed up to an elementary school in DC this morning and tried to detain a staff member in the parking lot but the person's colleagues intervened and stopped it and let that be a reminder to all of us that we can do that

Library Advocates Rally as Trump Targets Federal Funding An executive order has demanded that the Institute for Museum and Library Services be eliminated to the maximum extent allowed by law.

β€œBy eliminating the only federal agency dedicated to funding library services, the Trump administration’s executive order is cutting off at the knees the most beloved and trusted of American institutions and the staff and services they offer...”

We're not done yet | 18F

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.

18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.

We made this website to tell our story:
18f.org

None of us can be sure what will β€œwork.” You try multiple things and find your way in. Read some histories of the Civil Rights Movement by those who participated. They were never β€œsure” of what would work. Some campaigns fizzled out. But persistence, creativity, determination, and focus were key.

AP is banned from WH events and all the other legacy journalists walk right in.

If this was the 60s, we know who would have been with the Freedom Riders, and who would’ve been writing about them from a safe place.

AP stands alone.

Sad but true.

Crockett: "It's just that they're idiots. These are the same guys as it relates to our nuclear stockpile, they're like, 'Oh, wait a minute, we needed those guys? Can we get them back? Oh, we don't know how to.' I don't know how anyone can look at this administration & feel a semblance of confidence"
