Officials are investigating a blast that leveled an explosives plant in rural Tennessee, as families of the 18 people missing and feared dead wait anxiously for answers.

It simply should not be possible for the president to repeatedly claim that a major city is burning without a wall of live standups happening in that city clearly demonstrating that it is not

god i love her

hahahaha yes

“While the president’s authority to grant clemency for federal crimes is virtually unfettered, the power to impose vengeance via prison assignments isn’t clear.”

Actually, the Eighth Amendment to the Constitution prohibits cruel and unusual punishment. It’s in the Bill of Rights. It’s pretty clear.

Extremely bad news if true (and unlikely this reporter would run with it if not). The MMWR has been the earliest warning bell for outbreaks since it announced the first US cases, in 1981, of what was later identified as AIDS.

This will be a grievous shock to what remains of US public health.

Is it cancel culture when they threaten to kill you?

a tremendous resource now broken on purpose - no fixing it per se

If Clinton had won there would've been a David S. Pumpkins movie

UPDATE: Judge Perry issued an opinion explaining why she blocked the Texas National Guard deployment in Chicago.

She begins with Alexander Hamilton’s rejection of a “preposterous” idea that the Constitution lets a President deploy a State’s militia to a different State for political retribution. 🧵

Huh: TikTok took down my 8-second video featuring this image of Debbie Brockman — the news producer just detained by Trump’s CBP agents — saying it violates the “joy of TikTok”

i am so sorry 🫂

DOGE was a catastrophic failure by any measure except further hollowing out govt to be fleeced by tech guys. So yeah, DOGE seems like a success if rent-seeking is your goal, but no serious policymaker is under any obligation to take these people seriously, and those that do are doing it for the $

These guys have gotten incredibly rich by fleecing the government with subpar tech that was designed for rentseeking rather than performance. A smart Dem agenda item would be to build internal tech capacity. The fact that it would punish these guys is just a silver lining.

Not exaggerating when I say that SB 79, a bill making it easier to build housing near mass transit, is the most consequential piece of legislation that the Democratic Party has passed all year. Saying no to the worst people in our coalition proves we're serious about the future.

George was just trying to get to work.

ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process.

This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look away.

aaand we are officially in the hide-your-neighbors stage

JB Pritzker has also been emphatically placing Trump's mental decline squarely on the agenda. On our pod, he adds a new element: People around Trump are using his decline to manipulate him, so they're less likely to intervene. More Dems should say this. 1/

I'm sparking debate with my claim that Stephen Miller is the result of cross-breeding a stick figure and a bedbug, but scientists say the evidence is lacking.
