NEW: As President Trump increases pressure on Colorado Governor Polis to free Tina Peters, a close ally of Peters is calling for Gov Polis and Attorney General Weiser to be executed.

MAGA podcaster Joe Oltmann called for the execution of several Colorado Democrats by name.

Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.

The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

Back in 2022, a divided D.C. Circuit panel *upheld* the military's constitutional power to court-martial retired servicemembers even for *post-retirement* offenses:

I'm biased (I represented the appellee), but Judge Tatel's dissent seems clearly right to me.

Alas.

And still am

Now expect Trump to post through it with a bunch of AI slop warrior Trump memes

And James! First post I saw only mentioned him

Trump probably thought that he would look strong and manly by indicting Comey and instead he now looks weak and pathetic

I know Comey had to go through some grief so I hope he can savor the win

1/Judge Cameron Currie dismisses the Comey prosecution because Lindsey Halligan was improperly appointed US Atty.

DOGE was always a very thinly disguised con to dress up data theft and extraction class destruction of federal corporate oversight as innovative, and it's important to remember that part of the reason it worked so well is that the press helped legitimize it

This is DOJ's defense👀

"the evidence clearly demonstrates that Texas was not doing DOJ’s supposed bidding—much less in a race conscious way—but instead was engaged in a race-blind partisan gerrymander that happened to affect the districts DOJ identified."

I literally went to court and won to defend my right to uphold my oath (in my case to the Florida constitution) over the interests of my governor

I mean, Democrats gaining a House majority through Republican retirements might be the best thing Republicans could do because Fox could then blame everything on Democrats (oh, wait, they already do)

The post-Maduro Venezuela plan:

With percentages that small it is all just noise and not to be taken literally, as done here

Me? I stop and talk to the student orgs on my campus out tabling every day. They report student interest is high and they're attending rallies. But what do I know, we're just a state school

It's the type of pearl clutching that is catnip for publishing an op-ed in the New York Times

There are two anecdotes from student newspapers to back up the statistics, but two points:

- if the anecdotes are to be taken literally, YouGov is vastly exaggerating student participation in the protests

OR

- you know, the student newspapers didn't systematically identify all student protestors

"Only 8 percent of Americans between the ages of 18 and 29 say they took part in the protests in October, compared with 13 percent of those age 65 and older, according to YouGov."

Not a statistically significant difference, fwiw

What the Deported Venezuelans Went Through in El Salvador Forty men sent to El Salvador by the Trump administration have shared disturbing accounts of abuse by a regime that America paid to imprison them.

Earlier this year, the United States deported 252 Venezuelans to El Salvador and paid its government to imprison them. Now two human-rights organizations have found that all of those men were physically abused, Conor Friedersdorf writes:

I had an experience where AI eventually returned the original exact same buggy code and rejected that it had given the original wrong answer even after I copy and pasted it into the prompt

My mind is blown

Best when you ask it to provide the *correct* answer. LOL

AI is really good at devising wrong answers for multiple choice questions

Real men abuse and rape

It’s about that time for Trump to disappear for a week

Wanna know how bad the Arizona legislator's petition forgeries were? Here's the examples from the Austin Smith indictment.

When I fill up I demand that they sell me their gas at the $2/gallon where Trump says the price is

Maybe it’s getting an MRI at Walter Reed

President Trump says he wants to end "surprise premium hikes" from Obamacare Trump is advancing a new plan to deal with health-care costs.

If true this means Senate Democrats won the government shutdown fight www.ms.now/news/trump-h...
