Great and important reporting here. But the administration has been pretty clear about how these judges need to rule in order to keep their jobs. So I think we’re well beyond perception of fairness.

Heritage staff in open revolt over leader’s defense of Tucker Carlson At least five members of Heritage’s antisemitism task force resigned after Roberts defended Carlson’s interview with antisemitic white nationalist Nick Fuentes.

🚨 WaPo SCOOP: Inside the crisis at the Heritage Foundation

The group behind Project 2025 is facing a rebellion — and has been for months.

The Tucker Carlson/Nick Fuentes/antisemitism saga is just what caused it to break into the open.

NEW: Footage of a US citizen in Chicago being rammed then dragged from her car on her way to work.

Abducted, with no warrant, her family couldn’t find her for hours.

She was later released with NO CHARGE.

A DHS statement said she “violently resisted arrest, injuring two officers”.

You decide…

Once again, this admin is obliterating fiscal law by deciding to not spend money congress told them to AND choosing to spend money congress told them not to.

I for sure think Don Bacon's seat in Omaha flips. If he was running again he'd probably just have the edge with incumbency. I don't think we'll be so lucky against Mike Flood in the 1st district (Lincoln), but I hope so!

Goooooooo Cocks!!!!!

10 years ago the state legislature in ruby-red Nebraska passed a law abolishing the death penalty and even overrode the Governor's veto!

Unfortunately then the Governor successfully funded and led a ballot initiative to reverse it. :/

I know it’s too much to expect them to know their history, but if the American Revolution had a motto, it definitely would not have been “immigrants go home.”

It would have been “get your fucking soldiers out of our cities.”

My mom has a ton of first cousins because both her parents were from families of 10+ kids, we referred to them all as aunt/uncle.

Maybe that's just a southern thing like using mr/ms with grown-ups.

In case anyone is still wondering, this is also an ADA violation.

You cannot augment an appropriation without valid statutory authority to do so.

The dialogue is a whole other thing but the bit about "fuck you shoot me I'll die for this shit" and the reaction is the crux here, from Gandhi's time on down, no authoritarian in history ever knows how to respond to this and it's why it beats them whenever deployed

1. Promote and write code for Trump’s stablecoin.

2. SEC drops its Binance lawsuit.

3. Get a Trump pardon.

Between stuff like this and the outside challenge from Kalshi/Polymarket, feels like the downside risk to Draftkings and other traditional sports betting operations is enormous.

If we can't end sports betting outright, I'd rather it be this peer to peer format rather than betting against the house, casino-style.

Real talk, there are a ton of PSC codes and people aren't always super careful about picking the "most correct" or "even sort of correct" one.

Jane has a thread on this specifically, from her perspective being stationed in Europe in the early 2000’s.

Basically he would have learned the significance pretty soon after even if he didn’t know at the time. Shoulda gotten rid of it a long time ago.

Part of the inspiration for my sign today.

Chart shows three different ways to divide 50 people into 5 districts. One shows perfect representation, another a compact but unfair method and a third approach is neither compact nor fair.

31 U.S. Code § 1341 - Limitations on expending and obligating amounts (a) (1)Except as specified in this subchapter or any other provision of law, an officer or employee of the United States Government or of the District of Columbia government may not— (A)make or authorize an expenditure or obligation exceeding an amount available in an appropriation or fund for the expenditure or obligation;

Today is a good day to not violate 13 USC 1341, lest you be subject to the penalties of section 1350.

The electricity system is the largest commodity supply chain in the world that doesn’t feature storage. Every technology benefits from storage (esp Solar/Nuclear).

Top 1% of peak hours are 8% of your bill. Top 10% of hours are 40% of your bill
Batteries provide more tools to flatten out peaks.

A story indistinguishable from those depicted/dramatized in all the WWII / Holocaust movies and plays and novels we grew up with

My first thought was “wow I hope this guy didn’t give out his name because he could absolutely be charged” and yup, he is correct to stay anonymous.

This man’s account is shocking. His neighbors’ situation is shocking. The entire Chicago raid is shocking.

ICE is not only chasing down every random brown person in Chicago, they have a cameraman following them to film this for social media. Cruelty and inhumanity as content.

The elimination of USAID is a moral atrocity and all involved made a choice to enable, and then lie about, ending the lives of some of the most vulnerable people in the world.

I can only hope there will be real accountability for this.

Tariffs are a regressive tax on consumption, hard to count that as redistributive even if some of that revenue is going to fund WIC.
