This is Eeyore. He led a sheriff's deputy to his grandma after she fell during their walk. We are awarding him the incredibly rare 15/10 (FB: OkaloosaSheriff)

WHITEHOUSE: What happened to the $50k in cash that the FBI paid to Tom Homan in a paper bag?

BONDI: The investigation of Mr Homan was subjected to a full review by the FBI. They found no credible evidence of any wrongdoing

W: That was not my Q

B: You're welcome to discuss this with Director Patel

So since I'm annoyed let me say a few things today.Some folks have been writing about Christian Nationalism and apocalyptic right wing movements for YEARS here in the US. YEARS. Do we get to have a platform in major mags and newspapers... rarely.

What does the AMD/OpenAI partnership mean for investors? These partnerships can feed a virtuous cycle that makes innovation more efficient — or they could be an early sign of an AI bubble.

Good to hear @edzitron.com included in this piece on @marketplace.org today.

No, he's arguing that marginalized people are such terrors that electeds aren't carrying out the will of the people, because they're too scared.

He is claiming that the votes were for specific actions, not people, and that only the regime is brave enough to do what people voted for.

I believe @anatosaurus.bsky.social would approve this message.

“You cannot convey the full extent of the threat before us, let alone marshall public will into needed resistance, when your actions (or lack thereof) routinely undermine your utterances.”

“You cannot occasionally tell Americans the truth that this regime is veering into dictatorship while also promising to meet and negotiate in good faith with it. “

“Instead of speaking about what’s actually occurring, these Democrats have wedged themselves into an impossible corner where what they say barely gets heard and what gets heard can barely be credited. “

“So here we are, with many Democrats responding to each new horror unleashed with a social media post attempting to drive conversation back to what surveys say voters care most about.”

This is a long, thoughtful, and brilliant post about how to understand political campaigning & strategy from one of the progressive left's most brilliant thinkers and practitioners @anatosaurus.bsky.social.

US District Judge Sara Ellis in a hearing over ICE protests in Chicago:

"I can't tell you how many judges have been doxxed. I can't tell you how many judges have received death threats. … It's unfortunately part of the cost of doing business as a public servant in government."

I truly don't understand what people thought was going to happen

"hand-to-hand combat with antifa every night"

The government does not have the power to declare “free speech zones.” And the violent arrest of the rabbi should set off some alarm bells.

For me it’s Top Chef, Ted Lasso, Big Bang Theory and Dog House UK

Amos is asleep atop his favorite cat tree with his tail hanging off the side and one front leg hanging through a hole in the platform. Behind him you can see the dirty window overlooking the neighboring house.

This is notable because the government isn’t supposed to indefinitely hold people in immigration detention just for funsies if it doesn’t plan to remove the person any time soon. Abrego’s counsel has raised SCOTUS case law to that effect in seeking his release

No. The opposite is true:
Safe seat members face strong incentives to follow centrist quantbrain/status quo pablum and stay silent in the face of the collapse of US democracy.

This is easy to see: Raskin trying to squash talk of impeachment; Jeffries telling his caucus to be quiet on Abrego Garcia

The party that hid racism and misogyny behind “state’s rights” for decades now has control of every branch of the federal government. They’re waging war on states in the name of racism and misogyny and laughing at the whole idea of state’s rights.

Fam, this is a challenging moment. We (as reporters) are trying to balance urgency of news & amplification of resistance narratives with not assisting in putting people in prison. It's tough for everyone right now with how fast videos go viral. There's a lot we are not sharing.

Dr. Badder follows up with this caveat: “It’s important to say if you ever find an injured bird of prey, you should always contact your local wildlife charity / rehab centre before handling them.”

It’s important to say if you ever find an injured bird of prey, you should always contact your local wildlife charity / rehab centre before handling them.

That option wasn’t immediately available to us, but as soon as we found a professional willing to help, they were involved each step of the way.

What is happening with ICE across our country is anti-policing.
It is illegal.
It is immoral.
It is ineffective.

And it is also stupid.

It’s bad enough when police act like the hall monitors for a city. It’s worse when they act like the school bullies. And ICE ain’t police.

it is utterly wrong.

He’s not saying it because he believes it. He’s saying it because saying it makes other people believe it and provides justification for killing/imprisoning Americans for political beliefs.
