Newsom: "He doesn't play by a different set of rules. He doesn't believe in the rules. As a consequence, we need to disabuse ourselves of the way things have been done. It's not enough to just hold hands, have a candlelight vigil, talk about way the world should be...we have got to meet fire w/fire"

The monthly BLS jobs report is required by law.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

New Zealand woman and six-year-old son detained for three weeks by Ice in US enduring โ€˜terrifyingโ€™ ordeal Sarah Shaw, who has a US visa and lives in Washington state, was detained after attempting to re-enter US from Canada

This is appalling. Civilized countries look at us and are rightly horrified that this idiocy and cruelty is sanctioned by--encouraged by--our government.

(I originally wrote "Other civilized countries look at us..." But do we any longer count in their ranks?)

Pennโ€™s law school pauses scholarship honoring its first Black female graduate, plans to close equal opportunity office Pennโ€™s law school pauses scholarship honoring its first Black female graduate, plans to close equal opportunity office. Alumni expressed concern.

I am stunned. Embarrassed. Enraged. Infuriated. Exasperated.

And more than anything else: I am ashamed.

Parts of the Constitution were erased from the Library of Congress website, including the section featuring the foreign emoluments clause.

The removal was blamed on a "coding error."

Here's a reminder of what the clause says, just in case Congress ever decides to enforce it...

The Mediaโ€™s Urge to Be โ€œFairโ€ to Trump Is Killing the Republic Seventy percent of Republicans understand that Trumpโ€™s tariffs will raise prices. Why is the press acting like theyโ€™re a huge success?

#ProudBlue
MSM is normally keen to be perceived as "neutral" politically. The Trump regime punishes any perceived criticism, & has exerted pressure on major media owners. The result is they underplay the extent to which he is destroying our democracy and our economy.

Dems. Wanna get your polling out of the gutter? Stop talking about redrawing house maps in blue states and do it. Go big. Don't match them seat for seat. Blow them out of the water. Then endorse Mamdani. You're welcome.

Trump admits that Jeffrey Epstein โ€œstoleโ€ young girls from him at Mar-a-Lagoโ€™s โ€œspaโ€ and brought them into his child sex trafficking ring. This includes Virginia Giuffre who died by suicide in April.

I realize this may seem like a distinction without a difference to a lot of people, but Bondi *canโ€™t* fire a U.S. Attorney appointed by the district court under 28 U.S.C. ยง 546(d). Only President Trump can.

We went through this with Geoffrey Berman and SDNY during Trump Iโ€ฆ

@jamestalarico.bsky.social: "The reason I'm a Democrat is because I want to change things. These systems don't work for people... We can't fall into the trap of defending broken institutions, broken systems, or the status quo. We've got to be the party of change, which is our historical heritage."
