This story is nuts.

"ICE agents then surrounded the judge’s car and demanded everyone to exit the vehicle, threatening to smash in the windows if they did not comply."

Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad Al-Shaibani: “We don’t consider women as half of the society.

“We consider women to be the entire society.

“As a foreign minister, 60% of my advisers are women.”

The Supreme Court just refused to stay this young girl's removal to Venezuela, uprooting her from her life in Texas to a foreign country where neither of her parents currently live. Sotomayor and Jackson note their dissents.

Jan Rosenow @janrosenow · 15h This is truly mind-blowing: Norway has gone from near-zero sales of non‑emitting battery electric vehicles to now close to 100% of all new passenger car sales—achieved in about 13 years. What makes this transformation remarkable isn’t just the headline number, but how it happened: - Clear long‑term policy signals (tax incentives, toll exemptions, parking perks) that made EVs the rational default. - Serious charging infrastructure—fast chargers along highways and dense urban coverage—reducing range anxiety. - Collaboration across government, utilities, automakers, and consumers to remove friction at every step. - A consistent focus on total cost of ownership, not just sticker price.

Don't cross the picket line for mediocre coffee, folks.

Union strong. 💪

instead of saying this was good strategy, maybe senate dems should say: "the republicans were going to kill people by starving them to death, and because we aren't monsters, we decided to let this fight go. We'll keep fighting. Stop electing monsters."

An unwrapped tamale.

Yesterday, when Bovino announced ICE would be returning to Little Village today, some of us donated and fundraised to buy out street vendors in the neighborhood. This morning, volunteers hit the streets at 6:30 am, looking for vendors to buy out. Tamales make an excellent breakfast.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.

And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

So here's where we are, Sunday morning:

Trump is trying to starve hungry kids in order to bully Democrats into abandoning our fight against health care premium increases.

So Trump is starving kids in order to deny families health care.

Dystopian.

"When I picked up my granddaughter from the federal agents, she had a dirty diaper, a bruise on her face, and was developing a rash. She was exhausted and cried… My heart aches knowing this could happen to others, to my kids, or even me, despite being U.S. citizens.”

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

damn right; bottom trawling is an ecological crime, and any politician that supports it is guilty

Whistle up Baltimore.

The voices of SNAP Recipients have become political pawns. They explained, in their own words, what Trump withholding funds has been like.

SNAP benefits are currently being held hostage by the Trump administration and their fate now lies with the Supreme Court.

Beneath the legal arguments are real people who simply need food—a former federal worker, a single mother of 4, a disabled man. I spoke to them. Here are their stories:

These operations would be unlawful even if those murdered had all been criminals. But it's important to show just how much deception is involved from start to finish in this gruesome charade.

Abolish. Fire. Prosecute.

Immigration Agents Arrest Man in L.A. Raid and Drive Off With His Toddler

The father was a U.S. citizen.

But he was Latino, so Brett Kavanaugh says it’s fine.

In Chicago, We Run Toward Danger Together "Faced with unrelenting state violence, Chicagoans have refused to be cowed," says Mariame Kaba.

My latest is a love letter to Chicago. "I see you stumbling through the stubborn, awkward rhythm of showing up, again and again. I see you fighting alongside people who sometimes frustrate and confuse you, and defending neighbors you may have never met, because you know they’re all your people."

Jodie from Northern Michigan is going to be directly impacted by the loss of subsidies on her healthcare.gov plan. She sent me this video telling her story.

This graph shows the country trying to puke up something nasty it swallowed.

ICE is now at food banks in Chicago.

I just can’t with this cruelty. It’s relentless. Fucking monsters and goons.

“Look at these scumbags — in the car with guns with a baby in the back.”

What are we doing?

We're all going to write pieces about what you can learn from tonight but it's actually pretty simple: The frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

thank you for the outpouring of support!

those of us laid off from Teen Vogue yesterday are now sharing our GoFundMe to help us cover our emergency expenses now that we've lost our incomes, as we get back on our feet.

While throwing Great Gatsby parties for the billionaires and building a Marie Antoinette Ballroom the size of nearly two football fields, Trump steers his bulldozer at American families on SNAP benefits trying to eat in his Hunger Games economy.

What We Lost When Condé Nast Unceremoniously Shuttered Teen Vogue This article is part of TPM Cafe, TPM’s home for opinion and news...

if you want to know what happened to Teen Vogue yesterday, my work wife @allegrak.bsky.social — who ran our politics section for 6 years until this past June — said it all in this.

can't even pull out a favorite part til I sign my separation letter lol, just read the whole thing.

So Trump says his gov. doesn't have the money to keep SNAP going for hungry families or to ensure Americans have health care.

But they can spend $1 MILLION A DAY to keep the National Guard in D.C. until February 2026???

Make it make sense.

Let’s pass Prop 50 today.

Then let’s work toward a federal law mandating independent redistricting in all 50 states.

California responded — appropriately — with Prop 50 when Trump & Texas decided to cheat. But independent redistricting is the best approach & should be the law of the land.

Many of the propagandists of Autocracy, Inc., have learned from the mistakes of the twentieth century. They don’t offer their fellow citizens a vision of utopia, and they don’t inspire them to build a better world. Instead, they teach people to be cynical and passive, because there is no better world to build. Their goal is to persuade people to mind their own business, stay out of politics, and never hope for a democratic alternative: Our state may be corrupt, but everyone else is corrupt too. You may not like our leader, but the others are worse. You may not like our society, but at least we are strong and the democratic world is weak, degenerate, divided, dying.

This is from Autocracy, Inc, about how modern autocratic propaganda works.

I consider this every time I decide what to share and how to frame it.

Pretty sure there's not an implied federal immunity for child endangerment
