Ossoff: "This is a seismic event. This should have people across the country absolutely shook. This is a huge deal. This is an FBI raid on the Fulton County Elections office ... This is a shot across the bow at the midterm elections. He tried to steal power when he lost it in 2020."
NEW: The FBI’s search warrant, which sought 2020 election ballots, tabulator tapes, digital data and voter rolls from Fulton County, GA, marked what experts described as a significant escalation in President Donald Trump’s breaking of democratic norms.
Authoritarianism doesn’t announce itself. It arrives wrapped in “security,” “order,” and “law enforcement.” Minneapolis is being used as a proving ground. If we don’t stop this now, we may not get another chance.
Homeland Security & @DHSgov X.com Law enforcement uses 'reasonable suspicion' to make arrests, as protected under the Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. The Supreme Court has already vindicated us on this position. A person's immigration status makes them a target for enforcement, not their skin color, race or ethnicity. @TriciaOhio
DHS getting basic 4th Amendment law wrong on its official Twitter account.
Seems like this post is bound to show up as an exhibit in one of the cases challenging ICE/Border Control enforcement actions.
I suspect some owners aren't ego-driven to win, that instead they're driven mainly by greed. That they care little about fielding a winning baseball club and more about seeing their investment in a legal monopoly appreciate many times over.

This is how far you have to scroll on the NYTimes homepage to get any coverage of what's going on day-to-day in an occupied American city where schools are closing because the government is checking the papers of all brown or Asian people then brutalizing, imprisoning or killing them.
@nytopinion.nytimes.com: how about commissioning a piece that visualizes the March 24, 1945, War Department pamphlet with, say, callouts finding manifestations of fascism in the U.S. today.

This is the most thought I've given to Thomas Paine since high school Thank you, @hcrichardson.bsky.social
The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.
FCC Chair Brendan Carr authored the Project 2025 chapter about the FCC. Sara Fischer from @axios.com reported:
Here's another hot take: it has all been accumulating, quietly for most people, and while we're not a rational society, we'll veer back toward decency.
MADE in the shade (Make Americans Die Earlier): The EPA has "announced it is nearly doubling the amount of formaldehyde it considers safe to breathe. [...] It causes cancer, miscarriage, asthma, and other health issues by altering DNA." heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/december-1...
Every season in Milwaukee is beautiful, but there's something special about what the cold does to our lake, our rivers, our land, and the air all around us. Even if you're longing for a tropical vacation, try to take a look around soak in the serenity of our winter months…

Hey @democrats.org, show this difference visually.
Heartless in the Heartland: MI GOP cuts $18.5M from cash grants for new moms and $56,600 from a wigs-for-cancer-patients program. Part of a $645M cut in state funding from ongoing projects, in a rare move. Calls it good governance. bridgemi.com/michigan-gov...
Word of the day: underbussing.
"[Leavitt] attributed the orders of September 2 to Admiral Bradley, appearing to be setting him up for underbussing."
From the man who coined, sleepy Joe Biden. Where is our media now! This and the Epstein files release should be the top, daily stories!
Also no vowels in SFNC.
Good front-paging.
“Yes, he was indoctrinated [...]. But what is probably more important is that you are part of a machine, and if you don’t make a deliberate decision to get out of it, you get further drawn into this.”
"ICE agents then surrounded the judge’s car and demanded everyone to exit the vehicle, threatening to smash in the windows if they did not comply." A student intern at RI Superior Court was briefly taken into custody by ICE this afternoon before a judge intervened www.wpri.com/news/local-n...
Mayor-elect, but I get your point.
Gotta love how Jon Karl and ABC News had this graphic ready to go *the very moment* that Hassett rolled out his Walmart anecdote.
