Rep. Steven Horsford to Greer: "So the trade representative hasn't spoken to the POTUS about a global reordering of trade, but yet he announced it on a tweet? WTF! Who is in charge? It looks like your boss just pulled the rug out from under you. There is no strategy ... is this market manipulation?"
NEW: By a 5–4 vote, the Supreme Court HALTS a district court order requiring the Education Department to pay out more than 100 grants to public schools and universities that the Trump administration canceled.

One problem with the idea of reserving due process for law-abiding people is that due process is how we figure out which people are law-abiding.

WIRED: HELLO WORLD HERE IS ALL OF THE WHITE HOUSE'S DATA COME AND GET IT BEEP BEEP BOOP BOOP
oh this is a big mystery
People need to be crystal clear about something: The requirement that the government ANSWER to a court on the legal basis for detaining someone is literally the core liberty right (habeas corpus). If the government says they don’t have to do that bc “national security,” YOU can be disappeared.
Casey: There’s this whole mentality that MAGA has painted—like you’re either MAGA or you’re, you know, drinking soy lattes or whatever.
But there are a lot of people who are just like, “We’re just regular people—we don’t want a dictator, we don’t want to see people’s benefits ripped away..”
A great read.
Killer lines :
1.American's did not drift rightward as couchward
2. 19 million Americans who cast votes for Biden in 2020 did not vote this time around.
Disgusting. In Nevada, mass deportation efforts would wreck our State’s economy (especially with our limited tax base), lead to increased crime (good luck getting cooperation from impacted groups), and undermine Constitutional privacy protections.
This fight is FAR from over.
Of course it did.
Remember how often we were told that any algorithmic boosting of content Republicans didn't like had to be illegal?
Hello, security engineer that has installed CrowdStrike on thousands of computers.
A thread on the outage and what is exactly happening.
Here’s a quick explainer on what *seems* to be the cause of the CrowdStrike outage and why it happened so quickly.
time to get real about this. bilbo cheated in that riddle game against gollum. he’s the bad guy.
Honestly if you can’t beat a guy hawking gold shoes because he’s in debt for being a rapist who does fraud you should just shut down as a national party

SOMEBODY GET RUDOLPH A FUCKING EPIPEN IMMEDIATELY
This is the kind of important information I came here for.
It's been hilariously sad to watch Republicans puzzle through the aspects of Biden's parenting that they find completely alien to their own experiences.
Bewildered by "father tells his screwup son he still loves him unconditionally" and now puzzled by "child repays a financial debt to parent"
"Mr. Biden, this necktie is objectively hideous and yet, according to this thank you note -- a note which handwriting experts have CONFIRMED was written by you in the spring of 1983 -- you told your son it was 'beautiful' and you 'loved it.'
"Do you expect this august committee to buy that lie?!"
My heart has really been broken by how many people on the left have celebrated or minimized the murder of over 1000 Jewish people.
Naomi Klein does a beautiful job of explaining how unwise and unkind it is to celebrate Jewish death.

We are the arsenal of democracy. For fuck’s sake provide our allies what they need. We aren’t in a direct fight, they are. I want the Biden Admin to commit any and all resources to our allies Israel and Ukraine! ATACMs, F-16, drones, helicopter, air defenses! All of it… now!

Transphobes who get mad about pronouns are weak. I speak Vietnamese. The pronoun I use for myself and the person I’m talking to or about depends on how old I am, how old they are, whether they’re a relative, whether they’re related to my mom or my dad, gender, and more. There are over 20 of them.
I thought I was having a bad day today, so thank you to Kevin McCarthy and the US House of Representatives.
