Why does logging into things sometimes feel like a Legend of Zelda quest?
I have heard this from multiple businesses. The National Guard presence is killing the DC economy because people don’t want to go out on the streets. It is happening with restaurants and coffee shops as well. Please call your member Congress #savedc #freedc

Where are the Epstein files? <— this is the thing that unites the vast majority.
My kiddo wants to visit North America this summer. I told her I would make it happen… now how do I break it to her?
The Trump administration is considering restricting entry to citizens of an additional 36 countries, in what would be a significant expansion of the travel ban announced early this month, according to a State Department memo.
Here’s the “Presidential Memorandum”:

There’s no Insurrection Act invocation; Trump is federalizing 2000 CA Nat’l Guard personnel only to “protect federal functions.”
*Without* invoking the Insurrection Act, anything more would violate the Posse Comitatus Act.
Undocumented immigrants pay almost $100 billion in taxes each year.
The top 1% evade $163 billion in taxes each year.
Stop pretending that immigrants are the ones taking advantage of taxpayers.
Federal immigration agents in riot gear squared off with hundreds of protesters for a second consecutive day on Saturday in Los Angeles County, filling streets with tear gas and smoke. nyti.ms/4kUON0y
Hope you can join!!! I have had the joy hearing from @tfmfm.bsky.social and @geoffhing.bsky.social — you are going to learn about some awesome things about how news apps are made! #pyconus
My PyCon US talk is at 12:30, which means it's my favorite part of speaking: Panic In The Green Room.
My serpentine co-speaker is calming me down.
❤️ I am very excited about this!
We made some friends along the way. 🐴
Very excited to be moderating this fireside chat about the @themarshallproject.org with @tfmfm.bsky.social and @geoffhing.bsky.social to discuss how they use python. #pyconus
There it is, in a nutshell.
And if you like to read the ruling like I do -- storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
Here is the toddler version of what is happening:
Judicial Branch: You can’t do that.
Executive Branch: What are you going to do it about it? You are not my mom.
Legislative Branch: Wait, what’s happening?
The entire world needs the adults in the room to shut down this infantile behavior.
NEW: By a 5–4 vote, the Supreme Court HALTS a district court order requiring the Education Department to pay out more than 100 grants to public schools and universities that the Trump administration canceled.

This is brilliant... maybe.
The fish rots from the head down.
Just figured out where these fake tariff rates come from. They didn't actually calculate tariff rates + non-tariff barriers, as they say they did. Instead, for every country, they just took our trade deficit with that country and divided it by the country's exports to us. So we have a $17.9 billion trade deficit with Indonesia. Its exports to us are $28 billion. $17.9/$28 = 64%, which Trump claims is the tariff rate Indonesia charges us. What extraordinary nonsense this is.
james surowiecki has discovered where the completely fabricated trump tariff rate has come from for each country
"...for every country, they just took our trade deficit with that country and divided it by the country's exports to us."
The richest man in the world spent more money than most of us will see in our lifetimes to lose a state Supreme Court race by 10 points.
And the fact his $25 million was a drop in the bucket compared to what he's spent on other elections is exactly why we must overturn Citizens United.
Reminder that Congress can stop this shitshow anytime they want.
Any legislator in any body should have to adhere to keeping bills designed like clean pull requests — clear, atomic line items, only related things can be coupled.
Breaking News: An analysis of Congress's most recent wild goose chase shows us that the war against the #law is no longer just in the #courtroom or against big law. They're coming for law schools and law students.
