Plenty of criticism on the right of the #SCOTUS leaker and the Times’s reporting, but has anyone actually responded to the argument that Roberts’s assessment of “irreparable harm” and his refusal to balance the equities is completely inconsistent with his subsequent behavior in all the Trump cases?
Unprecedented corruption
It seems we just bombed some residential buildings in an attempt to kill a former diplomat who was trying to facilitate negotiations.
A civilian trying to *end* hostilities, surrounded by other civilians in their homes.
We are completely lost.
NEW: Under AG Pam Bondi, the DOJ has dropped 23,000 criminal cases — including hundreds of investigations into terrorism, white-collar crime and drugs — while prosecuting 32,000 new immigration cases in just the first six months of Trump’s second term.
“If you’re gay or transgender, I love you. And if anybody gives you shit, tell ‘em Charles said fuck you.”
This seems … not great?
As millions of Americans were losing their SNAP benefits the Pentagon spent:
🔹️$6.9 million worth of lobster tails🦞
🔹️$15.1 million for ribeye steak 🥩
🔹️$2 million for Alaskan king crab 🦀
🔹️ and even $98,329 on a Steinway & Sons grand piano

This disgusting shit doesn’t belong in American society.
And Republicans who support it don’t belong in Congress.
Millionaires stopped paying into Social Security for the rest of 2026 today.
Billionaires stopped paying in on January 1st.
You're going to pay in for 298 more days.
This makes zero sense. The wealthy should pay in all year like the rest of us.
Scrap the cap.
Here's the first-ever Linkedin message from this company, which seems to be a small company run by two millennials with some background in migrant shelters.
Four months ago they suggest they won a contract to run a "mass care site" in Lexington, KY, but this is their first-ever federal contract.
When companies abandon their DEI commitments, workers, consumers, and our democracy suffer.
That's why we joined Color of Change and other leading organizations to call on corporations, regulators, and policymakers to stand firm in today's issue of the New York Times. https://bit.ly/4lilK8D
“A DOJ source told the Miami Herald that agents found her to be credible—and that they would not have interviewed her four times if they thought she was lying.”

DHS nominee Markwayne Mullin is one of the most active stock-traders in the Senate — and violated the STOCK Act against insider trading as recently as last August.
He currently holds stock in L3Harris, which has millions in contracts with ICE and FEMA.
The grift continues.
Want to know how broken our media is? We are in an illegal war, & reporters/anchors are getting on the phone with Trump daily & just…relaying his words to their viewers, like stenographers. No challenging questions or follow-ups, no discomforting of Trump.
Try independent media:

For folks who don't know, @samwang.bsky.social runs the Princeton Election Consortium, which calculates various things about US presidential elections. I've followed his writings for more than a decade now. We could really use a thoughtful person who values data in congress. Please support Sam!
We told you Trump Rx was going to suck the day it was announced. Now it's been launched, there are barely any drugs on the platform, and most of them are cheaper elsewhere and only help a narrow group of people.

Don’t let the door hit you on the way out, Kristi Noem.
The latest Democratic affordability proposal–this one from Senator Van Hollen– was previewed in the Washington Post by @jeffstein.bsky.social this morning. While we don’t have all the details, it seems like a case of good intentions but some problematic results www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...
Kristi Noem has done a stunning amount of damage and it’s good she’s gone.
But this doesn’t change the fact that we need a complete overhaul of DHS, impartial investigations into the killings of two American citizens, and information on children that were taken from Minnesota.
Now do Hegseth
An ICE detainee in Arizona has died of a TOOTH INFECTION after it went untreated for weeks, a local official says. He was a Haitian asylum seeker imprisoned in Florence, Arizona. @emilybregel.bsky.social reports.

The White House has helped MAGA influencers escape the Middle East on a private jet while more than a million ordinary Americans are still trapped with no way out.
wow -- Tillis goes ballistic on Noem, telling her "what we've seen is a disaster under your leadership"
What's scary about this story is the surveillance it hints at. This trans woman had changed her name, legally, but chose not to change her gender marker. She was apparently flagged in the DMV system as trans and her license was invalidated under a law that supposedly only concerned gender markers.
Israel & Saudi Arabia pushed the U.S. to attack Iran.
Netanyahu killed 72,000 people in Gaza, mostly women & children.
Saudi Arabia is a brutal dictatorship that allows no opposition.
These are the leaders who want to bring “freedom” to Iran?
Does anyone really believe that?
"Host has joined. We've let them know you're here."
Even if you set aside the morality or constitutionality of the attack--which should be more than enough--you still have massive opposition from your base, from Independents and Republicans. It is also one of a few issues fracturing the Republican base, in an election year. WTF is wrong with them.
