A note of caution about the new GOP vow of oversight on the murder of the two men clinging to the boat. It's good to see, but it could become a backdoor way for Rs to defuse pressure for broader scrutiny.

The entire operation is illegal. It all needs oversight. 1/

Amanda Aguilar, an immigration lawyer, said cartels held one of her clients for ransom immediately after his deportation to Mexico via the Tamaulipas border.

“My clients will say, ‘Can you please ask them not to drop me off in Tamaulipas?” Aguilar said. “And I do ask, but ICE just doesn’t care.”

President Claudia Sheinbaum promised access to social security and jobs. But as one lawyer said, it’s more like water, a hug, and a few pesos — certainly not enough to reintegrate people into Mexican society.

Bernie Sanders Definitely Doesn’t Think Trump Is the ‘Affordability President’ This is your TPM evening briefing.

On Monday, my colleague @hunterw.bsky.social asked both Mamdani and Sanders what they thought of Trump’s attempt to take the mantle of “affordability.”

“I will shock all of you in suggesting that the president of the United States is a pathological liar. He lies all of the time,” Sanders said.

The David and Victoria Beckham meme in four panels. 1. Victoria Beckham, but an image has been super imposed that says: "Your items have shipped." 2. David poking his head in the door and saying, "Be honest" 3. Victoria, with an image super imposed that says: "Label created." 4. David saying, "Thank you."

I've lost two people to AIDS and I just found one of them on the quilt for the first time. 😭

Older generations will call me a “blogger” thinking that’s a slight but it’s not inaccurate lol

Well, this is exhibit number one in any lawsuit challenging a new travel ban on unconstitutional animus grounds.

Ahhh good faith conservatism

Nooo is this AI lol

That’s absolutely the case for this show too

That’s next on my list. Last Frontier is compelling!! But I’d give Slow Horses another shot

Exaaaactly

Politico management violated key AI adoption safeguards, arbitrator finds The ruling marks one of the first major tests of an AI clause in a newsroom union contract.

The contract “requires that if AI technology is used for ‘newsgathering’ that it meet Politico’s ‘standards of journalists ethics and involve human oversight.’”

That was apparently violated.

I’m only 10 minutes into The Last Frontier on Apple TV and am making an educated guess, so this is not a spoiler — though I think anything in Act I of any pilot can be reasonably considered part of the premise

One time a scammer called my Italian grand father and told him I was in jail in New York. My grandfather immediately believed it, didn’t even try calling me, hung up with the scammer. Called my mom to try to figure out what lawyer to hire and how to get me out

My mom was like “Sal, she’s in class”

Man as soon as you start a prestige crime thriller drama with cops and one of them has a wife and kid visit them at work for a cute little hello? That can only mean one thing :(

Thank you for this thread. Articulated some things that have been driving me nuts today. And I’ve been doing so good not chiming in this time.

seems like it, doesn’t it

If you genuinely believe that your story deserves telling, I'd recommend not telling it yourself. If it's true, give it to a reporter you trust and let them turn it into an actual piece of reporting that can stand the test of time and be an asset to our profession. Not this self-important garbage.
