Mitt Romney actively sought Donald Trump's endorsement in 2012 and made Birther jokes in his stump speech but yeah sure Mitt was a victim

RFK is using his position to push things that have never shown any benefit in autism & have shown serious harms, including numerous dead kids thru the years. Why push for things known to harm instead of looking for things that could actually provide benefit? Because the harmful things are profitable

Jeremy Corbyn’s “Peace and Justice Project” have just memoryholed Noam Chomsky out of existence and purged mentions of him from their website.

I do not think the National Weather Service or the Fish & Wildlife Service are beyond saving

It’s weird how much this sort of crypto-Reaganism pervades ostensibly leftist rhetoric on here

probably not great that every natsec-adjacent reporter has spent the last 24 hours going "ron wyden expert here, this is not cute, ron wydens only do this when they're very distressed"

Please, my magic bean, it is very sick

Note that NSF is running 1–2 months behind schedule because of the government shutdown cancelling most of its review panels, which were all rescheduled to late Dec. and Jan.

Looks bad, but I would wait until worrying about the slow pace of awards.

I believe you’ll find the answers to these questions in Hunter Biden’s laptop.

There is a particularly strong strain of American authoritarianism that runs through Rust Belt areas like Rep. Meuser's district.

Search results from looking for the URL, showing emails. Missing "To:" information has been redacted, as also shown by pulling up the PDF.

Also, Epstein emailed this story to 29 people. Most of the recipients' names are shown, but 6 are redacted.

The recipient names need to be shown to Congress. If Dem members tell me "those are victims," that's good enough for me.

But I bet they're not.

I'd like to know DOJ's reason for redacting who Epstein was emailing after the 2016 election, including "Holy hell! Is this good or bad??" and "By the way - do you think my long ago invitation to come to Mar a Lago 'whenever you want' still stands?? Hee hee"

Every now and again I remember that the reporter who wrote the first & most influential "Biden can't hack it" story was in love with a close political ally of Trump, and wrote in her book that she'd willingly give up her own career to advance the career of that ally, and I get mad all over again.

VAN HOLLEN: You suggested Alex Pretti was culpable for his own killing because he had a gun he was licensed to carry. Would you like to retract that statement?

BESSENT: I would not. Would you like to express remorse over the death of Ashli Babbitt here in the Capitol?

WARREN: This should be an easy one. Can you commit that Trump's Fed nominee will not be sued or investigated by the DOJ if he does not cut interest rates like Trump wants?

BESSENT: That's up to the president

W: You can't say he won't be criminally investigated? That's supposed to be the soft ball!

WARREN: Last week, Trump said 'we have the groceries going down.' Did grocery prices drop in 2025?

BESSENT: Numerous prices have

WARREN: Did grocery prices drop in 2025?

BESSENT: Numerous grocery prices have gone down

WARREN: I'm sorry. I don't know if you can't hear me?

“You’re Not Going to Investigate a Federal Officer” It doesn’t happen often, but local law enforcement can arrest and charge federal agents. Legal experts say there’s a moral obligation to at least try to hold federal immigration officers accountable w...

NEW: Local police did not open investigations into six of the 12 shootings by on-duty federal agents that have led to the deaths or injuries of citizens and immigrants since September, a ProPublica analysis found.

height restrictions are about to take a surprising new twist

anyway i know how many of you hate that i’m so vocal about this and think it makes me a naive shitlib or whatever. but again, i think the best thing you could do for yourself here is to get involved in election administration where you live.

It's the Bluesky equivalent of those right wing tough guys all rushing to say how scared they are of going to literally any urban downtown

Rep. Ben Cline at the National Prayer Breakfast: "We are reminded that leadership is not only about policy and power, but about character, conscience, and the recognition that all authority that all authority is ultimately accountable to God. We are honored to welcome President Bukele."

The two children who returned to MN today say they saw one of their Valley View schoolmates at a detention center in TX. This is a child whose family was last in contact with the school on January 9. No one has known where they were until now.

The world factbook was an invaluable resource in asylum petitions—a place where the federal government acknowledged in writing that, for example, Tibetans face systematic repression in China. I don’t like to have it vanish.

This is insane. Under absolutely no circumstances should a prof ever discuss the physical appearance of a student in a rec letter! I can’t believe I even have to say that!

Thus, rather than require such adjudications, the Department is changing its regulations to provide the Board more flexibility in reviewing appeals. Instead, for appeals taken from decisions issued after this IF becomes effective, as explained in Section IV.A of this preamble, the default will be summary dismissal unless a majority of current Board members vote to consider the appeal on the merits. And such dismissals will occur quickly—within 15 days of filing the appeal—allowing aliens to seek Federal court review expeditiously, rather than potentially waiting for years for a Board decision that in the vast majority of cases would affirm the underlying Immigration Judge decision.

🚨HOLY CRAP. The Trump admin just took a SLEDGEHAMMER to due process, largely eliminating the Board of Immigration Appeals process and MANDATING DISMISSAL of ALL appeals (which cost $1,000 thanks to OBBBA) filed after tomorrow unless a majority of the BIA votes to hear the case.

Trump at the National Prayer Breakfast: "One of my favorite people, President Bukele ... he operates rather large prisons. Very strong prisons."

Again, claiming that members of the other party cannot, in fact, share your broad religious faith is 100% at odds with the basic idea of the National Prayer Breakfast.

And saying Democrats shouldn't be at a non-partisan event "because they certainly don't give us the vote" is just batshit insane.

I think it should probably be a bigger story that the president of the United States is a raving lunatic

you personally have the ability to secure elections for yourself and your neighbors.

Trump is lying about elections at the National Prayer Breakfast.
