I’ve been circling a cursed thought for a while and it’s time to let it out: These guys are Disney Adults for fascism.

Childish.

I’m shocked.

Bears’ Tyrique Stevenson is on a journey of self-improvement after Fail Mary Stevenson and the Bears are headed back to Washington, where they were embarrassed last October. He's learned a lot since then.

“He was vulnerable. Hurt. Devastated. Alone. But that’s how he should have felt. That all comes with it. You let down 52 other guys. You let down 20-some coaches. You let down one of the most passionate football fan bases in the world. That’s heavy s—.”

Democrats take legal aim at 'the Radical Left' language during shutdown Democrats and a federal union argue that Trump administration language posted on federal agency websites and some emails blaming a shutdown on the "Radical Left Democrats" violates a 1939 federal law.

"Its a good time to be an American born criminal."

28,000 federal law enforcement agents have been detailed to ICE for immigration efforts (including almost 1/2 of DEA agents and 1/3 of ATF agents). I spoke to @themarshallproject.org @journo-beth.bsky.social about the impact.

Thanks, New Yorker

And please follow-through with charges.

Padilla: Do you believe government officials are obligated to follow court orders whether they agree with them or not? 

Bondi: I wish you loved your state of California as much as you hate President Trump.

Padilla: I asked a simple yes or no question

It should be very very clear to everyone right now that the Attorney General was asked under oath if she possesses pics of the President with undressed teens and she refused to say “no.”

"None of this is making anyone safer. It’s doing real harm to children, to U.S. citizens and to America’s reputation on the world stage. It’s fulfilling the perverse, cruel fantasies of a president who wants to rule, not lead."

NEWS: The Trump Administration has canceled $8 billion in projects that were set to lower electricity costs for Americans and increase grid reliability.

I led 163 House Democrats in demanding that these projects be immediately reinstated.

Thugs

You can tell she knows exactly what legal liability she is under by the fact that she is reading a scripted answer and is not deviating from it. This is a witness who has been coached by counsel to avoid perjuring herself.

Gee, what went wrong? Seemed like a foolproof plan.

Pam Bondi admits she spoke to Apple to "get the ICEBlock app taken down." Sounds an awful lot like coercion to suppress disfavored speech to me. A clear violation of the 1st Amendment.

Another frump bailout.

Do it, little man.

Once again: the guy who was the Dean of a law school named after a sexual predator got his speakership thanks to another sexual predator who got his predecessor fired and is now doing everything he can to defend another sexual predator. It's Johnson's thing.

Community notes strike again.

This was genuinely not-horrible from Jeffries.

No rescission. No impoundment.

But the tax cuts works.

The press steps up as Trump targets Chicago Local journalism is under siege, but still makes itself indispensable

If you think today's news media picture is grim, take stock of how Chicago's local journalists are getting at the truth despite Homeland Security's campaign of lies and intimidation.
My Stop the Presses newsletter.

An absolute embarrassment.

Gallego: If you’re a Republican in a swing district, why are you falling on this sword for a guy who’s checked out and probably needs to be put into some kind of treatment program for whatever dementia he has? Or for Johnson—who comes from one of the safest districts and is covering for pedophiles?

Deploying troops to Chicago is not legally justified, says Illinois attorney general Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul says the only "chaos" on Chicago's streets is coming from federal immigration agents carrying our aggressive enforcement.

Soybean Farmer: So now I've got a tariff war that's killing my market. I don't have any money from grain we're sending to other countries for USAID. I mean, I've got a compound problem. I don't know how you plan for next year because we don't know where we're at.

As I told @markjacob.bsky.social, Chicago journalists are doing a helluva job covering the ICE incursion of our city. The dogged, on-the ground- reporting reveals what's actually happening, not what ICE wants you to believe.

This has nothing to do with crime. This is an attempt to crush political dissent.

Never before, in our entire 250 year history, has the military or immigration agents been used like this. It's dystopian, illegal, and it should stop.
