β€œNeither our media nor our political system is designed to deal with a far right authoritarian party” Mark Copelovitch unpacks his signature phrase.

"The media continues to cover politics as if it is still the 1990s. 'Both parties are basically center-right or center-left parties.' The journalism infrastructure in our country wants to pretend that that’s the world that we live in. The instinct is to treat everything politicians say as valid."

It’s obvious but worth drawing out what raids of Home Depot’s of all places is about. It’s rounding up people who are really eager for work and for whom there is work, peoples whose labor is in demand. We know this but shows just how far it is from rounding up just the bad guys.

Coal is a dying fuel. Coal plants are being decommissioned at record pace. Industry is moving on, trying to bring it back is madness.

Natural gas is a transitional fuel to get us to the next level.

The next level is cheap, renewable sources such as Solar and Wind energy. Invest now or die.

This has always been the GOP's strategy:

1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves.

2) Explode the deficit.

3) Demand cuts to vital programs that help millions.

4) Repeat.

They're trying to get away with it again.

A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.

Is President Trump required to follow judges’ orders? This Federalist Society judge doesn’t think so.

Not getting much attention, but the Senate GOP is about to start voting - to make sure banks can charge higher overdraft fees. Seriously.

Good time to let your Senators know what you think of that.

The most obvious lesson to draw from the leaked Signal chat is that these people really are morons. It's not a public act, it's not a schtick, there's not some secret back room where they drop the facade. They are genuinely stupid, incompetent people.

Social Security official ended program for Maine newborns because he was β€˜ticked’ at Mills U.S. Rep. Chellie Pingree said the rationale given by Lee Dudek, the acting commissioner of the Social Security Administration, is 'infuriating and absurd.'

This isn't how gov't is supposed to work: The acting commissioner of Social Security admitted β€œI was ticked at the governor of Maine for not being real cordial to the president,” so I ended a program in Maine. www.pressherald.com/2025/03/25/s...

Whether it’s Pete Hegseth damaging his own liver with massive amounts of gin or Robert F Kennedy Jr. damaging children’s livers with massive amount of vitamin A, both cabinet members have a liver problem.

According to a source I have at the CIA, Director Radcliffe lied today under oath. Signal is absolutely not loaded on agency computers. As a matter of fact it’s specifically prohibited as an outside app. Skype is allowed for conference calls but not Signal. He’s lying. @markwarner.bsky.social

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants.

Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this.

Do not.

Trump is doing exactly what his voters wanted him to do: tank the economy, cause measles outbreaks all over the country, surrender to Russia, and make the plane crashing.

When we view and treat kids as adults, the dangerous effect is over-policing and over-criminalization.
Children across #Louisianaβ€”and the U.S.β€”deserve care, protection, and the opportunity to learn from their mistakes.

These are bold and wild allegations from the FBI, which is moving to criminalize organizations like Habitat for Humanity for receiving grants from the EPA.

In a court filing, Citibank disclosed that it had been directed by the FBI to freeze the bank accounts of these groups.

This development is a horrifying and further escalation of the very topic I wrote about yesterday evening: The Trump administration’s move from governmental changes to individual attacks focused on political opponents. www.lawdork.com/p/trump-test...
