The Justice Dept’s theory of the case— that the group that single-handedly disassembled the Ku Klux Klan defrauded its donors by concealing that it was using paid informant to do that work and more— has about as much merit as the now-dismissed charges against Jim Comey.
who are these 7% of democrats who approve of how trump is handling immigration show yourselves
I would submit that a gerrymander by politicians saying fuck the voters and one by voters saying fuck the politicians are two wholly different animals
Starting a mid-decade redistricting war only to end up with -1 seats is the same fine strategic genius and subtle grasp of game theory that brough us the Strait of Hormuz.
Wow it’s so weird that northern Virginia would be virulently anti-Trump after a whole bunch of them lost their jobs to his clownshow

Lander is the first New York politician to speak out after our @wired.com deep dive into Madison Square Garden's surveillance operations.
"Court documents show Trump knew he was going to tear down the East Wing at least two months before doing so, but he never told the public."
"Send us money to help build a border wall" and then instead buying yourself 18 more rumpled polo shirts to wear simultaneously, that's donor fraud. "Send us money to help research and track extremists" and then spending that money on obtaining information about extremists groups is... not fraud.

Two tiny kittens facing off inside a crate. Agatha, a dark tabby kitten has her ears back and is on the back foot, about to be pounced on by Jasper, a tiny black kitten. His ears are forwards and sideways and you can tell he's being A LOT right now.
In other news, we've named the new little girl Agatha. It was a close race between Agatha and Edith, but I'm going to save Edith for a mountain themed litter I think!
She and Jasper are playing in the crate right now.
MAHA's leaders claim they want to end sickness, but they intend to do it by ending chronically ill and disabled people's access to the care that keeps us alive.
The MAHA plan for ending chronic illness is simply ending chronically ill people.🧵

Aside from who started it, states like CA and VA putting a counter-gerrymander up to a referendum, where people are told and can make a decision on the context for why it's being done, has vastly more democratic legitimacy than state legislators rushing it through because they got bullied by POTUS.
RFK Jr. told the House E&C Committee today that the way to bring down healthcare costs is to "clean up the risk pool" — remove the people who cost too much. He said the $4.3 trillion we spend on chronic disease is the emergency. He said most of Minnesota's autism services funding was stolen. 🧵
I do think tech companies are underestimating the amount of

Ford’s move into the Middle East comes after it set a record on Wednesday with 296 days on deployment. That broke the post-Vietnam War carrier deployment record of 295 days held by USS Abraham Lincoln. Ford departed its homeport in Norfolk, Va., in late June for a routine deployment to Europe. Since then, the carrier has operated in the Mediterranean, Caribbean and Red seas. It likely will go into a record-breaking 11th month of operations, the Navy’s top official has said. This is at least the second time Ford has been on duty in the Middle East during its current deployment. In early March, Ford entered the Red Sea, continuing its role in Operation Epic Fury, the joint U.S.-Israel campaign against Iran. On March 12, a fire broke out in the ship’s main laundry areas, causing damage to multiple compartments and displacing some 600 personnel. Three sailors suffered injuries that were not life-threatening.
Btw, the USS Ford set a record for longest post-Vietnam (which Trump could have won) deployment last week. I'm sure that has nothing to do with its toilet problem or laundry fire.
These sailors have been away from home since June.

My 70 something parents use their e-bikes to go on 40 km rides with their friends.
E-bikes are life-extenders, leisure-extenders, and enjoyment-extenders for so many people.
It is not cheating to get more fun out of your day and ensure you have the oomph to come home at the end.
I'm having flashbacks to the Pierce County Assessor debacle from a while back. Recall petition, restraining orders from other county execs, Council ban on the county attorney providing legal representation against the multiple employee lawsuits against him.
What's wrong with assessors?!
Republicans are working hard to cut another blank check to ICE and CBP with NO reforms.
Americans want affordable health care and housing—NOT billions of their tax dollars funneled to rogue agencies.

This is such sickening perfidy.
Forcing employees to work in the office is an economic hardship because living within a reasonable commuting distance is prohibitively expensive.
Love that Danhausen.

Happy National Library Week to whoever did this.
“cleaning up the risk pool” is just “Lebensunwertes Leben” in corporate-speak
so that’s called “social murder”
