SPLC charges: A deep dive with ex-prosecutor Mitch Epner The Trump DOJ's claims against the storied civil rights group tell a far different story than Todd Blanche wants.

Ex-federal prosecutor Mitchell Epner made an excellent point about the SPLC’s indictment.

It’s so detailed that neo-Nazis and the Klan probably already know who the informants are.

Most likely, Trump DOJ already put them in danger. www.allrisenews.com/p/splc-charg...

Connecticut Just Told Masked ICE Agents to Show Their Faces SB00397 bars masks on every officer in the state, forces feds to show badges, and opens state courts to sue them. A first in the country.

No law enforcement officer operating in Connecticut—federal, state, or local—can wear a mask on duty. ICE and CBP agents have to show their faces and badges. And when an officer assaults someone recording them, commits false imprisonment, false arrest, or malicious prosecution, they lose immunity.

I'd guess that "Dems are too weak" group can be further subdivided:

1. "Weak" means Dems need more aggressive messaging
2. "Weak" means Dems should stop Repubs (somehow)
3. "Weak" means gender

Here's the definitive answer to the debate over "who started it": Republicans.

Before Trump pushed TX to gerrymander last year, the GOP had drawn 42% of all districts, versus just 14% for Dems (the rest were by neutral parties).

The maps below from @stephenwolf.bsky.social make this explicit.

Adding states should be the very first of many democratic reforms passed the moment Democrats have another trifecta.

Good article! If Brooks would learn to pass out of some of those post-ups, he'd add another dimension to the team's offense (and to his own).

I taught my last lecture/class today, of my first class ever taught outside of the United States (in Paris). It was very interesting to see how US and European (particularly French, but I gather broader than France) expectations were for how classes operate at the university level.

With the VA yes vote, Democrats will emerge with +1 House seat in the redistricting wars Trump kicked off last summer. They are very, very likely to win back the House in November

U.S. Considers Financial Support for Oil-Rich U.A.E.

Ossoff: "You were talking earlier about Jared Kushner. The guy leading our diplomacy in the Middle East is bringing in billions from Middle Eastern princes and sheiks and going around the region asking for billions more while he conducts nuclear diplomacy on behalf of the country. It's obscene."

We are surrounded by foreigners, speaking multiple foreign languages, making it more difficult for my son to make friends. 

This is my hometown. It’s unrecognizable.

👀 Oh. My. Gawd. Now we know why Melania gave that Epstein presser on Thursday. An interview with Amanda Ungaro is about to be released by El Pais on Sunday morning (and it’s after midnight right now in Spain). And on Monday, she will be on CNN.
