The White House’s defense is they left in a position of senior authority someone they now claim was a “known leaker”, who had been cut off from various accesses, and who they had ordered to be fired?
And they left him in place with all kinds of access to sensitive classified information?
I've seen enough: James Talarico (D) wins the #TXSEN Dem primary.
And, Talarico (D) takes the raw vote lead w/ a 76%-23% rout of Crockett (D) in Travis. Co. (Austin). This isn't on track to be a blowout, but he's the clear favorite. #TXSEN
Crockett (D) wins Harris Co. (Houston) early vote 54%-45% over Talarico (D), but that's not good enough w/ Talarico dominating heavily Hispanic counties. #TXSEN

Javier Bardem at the #Emmys: "Here I am today denouncing the genocide in Gaza... Free Palestine!"
(via @Variety)
Footage shows over a dozen interceptor missiles launched—yet a single Iranian missile breaks through and hits its target.
The slower-burning object trailing behind appears to be the missile’s first-stage booster falling away.
First, Israel cut Gaza’s last internet cable—blacking out 2.3 million people.
Then it bombed Iran with no UN approval, no imminent threat.
As eyes shift to Iran, Israel will escalate its ethnic cleansing in Gaza—and create more regional instability.
🚨UPDATE: Rümeysa Öztürk has now suffered three separate asthma attacks while in DHS custody.
She has not received her required asthma medications—a violation of her fundamental right to medical care.
This is cruelty, it is neglect, and it is a damning moral and legal failure.
The airstrikes last night killed more than 400 Palestinians, including 174 children, 89 women, and 32 elderly people. We’re still in shock. My eight-year-old daughter can no longer sleep. I tried to comfort her, to help her sleep, but she kept waking up crying. She told me, “Mama, every time I close my eyes, I feel like another bomb is falling on us.” I lay beside her to soothe her. This morning, I discovered she had wet herself in fear. My 12-year-old, Saida, keeps asking me, “Mama, will the planes come back again?” I have no answer for her. How can I reassure her when I no longer believe I will wake up tomorrow? I looked into my husband’s weary, burdened eyes and asked him, “When will this nightmare end?” He replied, “We are alone in this world. No one cares.”
I read the words of our Palestinian colleague Rasha Abou Jalal from Gaza and I feel such shame that the world is allowing this to happen; that the U.S., under Democrats and Republicans, facilitates this campaign of terror.

Must read: Mahmoud Khalil speaks out for the first time since his arrest by the Trump administration in an exclusive letter, dictated over the phone to his family, from ICE detention in Louisiana.
Georgetown has put together resources for federal workers who may be facing a transition in jobs. These include various seminars and workshops, as well as tuition scholarships providing a discount on many master's programs and certificates. Please spread the word to anybody who might benefit.
Attacks are continuing in Gaza. The death toll has reached 244.

If the Supreme Court ultimately agrees with what the gov't is arguing today, that the President has broad Article II powers that would permit it to deport people & there can be no judicial review, then literally no one is safe.
A screenshot of a Haaretz news article with the headline: ‘Israel’s Power Cutoff Threatens to Devastate Gaza’s Water Supply.’ The subheading states that cutting power will reduce desalinated water in Gaza by 70%, leaving residents with almost no drinking water, especially during Ramadan. The article is written by Jack Khoury, Rawan Suleiman, and Chen Maanit, and is dated March 13, 2025.
An entire population deliberately cut off from *drinking water* at the height of Ramadan.
A crime of unfathomable proportions.

BREAKING | Protesters in Los Angeles shut down traffic, joining the nationwide movement demanding the release of detained Columbia student Mahmoud Khalil.
My understanding is the dog was crated because he was recovering from surgery.
Oh he said he's saving 4 billion a day
Pardon incoming
We witnessed things like RICO charges being levied at protesters fighting cop city in ATL, mask bans that lock disabled ppl out of public life, students facing federal charges for peaceful protests, all under Democratic leadership. I wrote about how Dems set the stage for Trump's attacks on speech
if you find yourself reluctant to support the guy at Columbia because you find some of the politics he espoused distasteful or even abhorrent, you should know that this is exactly the reaction that they hoped for in choosing him as a target for unlawful detention based on political speech.
Yes. If DHS can barge in, say your visa was revoked, be told you have a green card, say it's revoked too, and then disappear you so that neither your lawyer nor your family can find you, then all the guardrails are gone. There is no policy, practice, or law protecting anyone.
The US government is disappearing political dissidents.
Aside from the obvious direct harm, what's so irritating is that a handful of spoiled ignorant assholes are breaking things that we all built together. They weren't content to own almost everything, they had to wreck what little they didn't own. It's vandalism on a mass scale and has to be punished
