I keep seeing people ask about the 25th Amendment.

Guys. His entire Cabinet is walking around in shoes that don’t fit because they’re scared to take them off.

The 25th is never happening.

They removed 3 people... When 2 flex into the house. So they removed one of two parents or their child who didn't leave mid-day. What wretched people

Andrew Gelman on Murc's Law - Lawyers, Guns & Money Andrew Gelman, author of the terrific blog Statistical Modeling, Causal Inference, and Social Science, notes something that’s closely related to what at LGM is known as Murc’s Law, i.e., the assumptio...

Well, Murc's Law--believed by numerous Right Wing & "centrist" journalists & pundits--does says Dems are responsible for all bad things done by Republicans--usually bc the Dems weren't nice enough or conciliatory enough to the GOP.

Maybe his adm. guys stumbling around in their too-big Trump loyalty shoes are feeding him fake AI "news" videos. Or maybe it's his brain. Or both.

What's clear is 1) his adm. people are too chickenshit to 25th Amendment him, and 2) Congress & the Senate are too chickenshit to stop him as well.

MAGA's rhetoric of western civilizational emergency is so weird. They look at ICE arresting grandmothers and they see the ancient Greeks defeating the Persians or the Franks stopping the Islamic invaders in 732.

Everyone else sees ICE arresting grandmothers.

I am literally at an NCAR-hosted, NCAR-led meeting where the future of U. S. radar meteorology - one of our most lifesaving enterprises - is being articulated by 180+ diverse participants. NSF NCAR is the only institution capable of convening our community so effectively.

After revelations that companies like Ring have been selling home security footage to ICE, the most common defense of keeping a camera up seems to be, “But what if I’m stalked?”

And as a violence researcher, I’m just here to state for the record that police do not care about your security footage.

Nurul Amin Shah Alam, Blind Rohingya refugee dumped by CBP, dies in cold "They just left him."

“They just left him.”

Shah Alam, 56, did not speak English. He was lost. He could not see. Border Patrol didn't contact his family or lawyer. They left him on the streets of Buffalo, where he died five days later.

They killed him.

It takes a lot to infuriate me and break my heart only because you have to be able to tolerate a lot when covering Trump and fascism and try your best to stay centered and hopeful.

This story I can't let go.

They chose to let him just die.

This. It would be really, really great if Democrats would start *consistently* calling out the way that the media is led around like f'ing children by the right-wing hate machine.

Don't just accept the frame. Call out the frame. Force viewers to confront the frame. It's so f'ing basic.
