I spoke in Indiana days before the Republicans refused Trump’s gerrymandered map. Everyone I talked to said the Rs weren’t going to pass the map.

Know why?

He threatened them. Even Republicans are tired of that shit. You’re going to see more of it too. Mark it. The fever is breaking.

I was in Myanmar in 2015, just as identity cards were taken from Rohingya to keep them from voting. It was part of a decades-long process of redefining citizenship that ate away at their rights more every year. When governments start doing this, they can move the goalposts anytime they want to.
A reminder that most Americans who are life-long citizens have nothing OTHER than a Real ID to prove their citizenship. This is CBP’s chief enforcer saying that ID doesn’t count.
Bovino, the man overseeing mass deportations, publicly declared that we must all have our papers on us, at all times, or we could be stopped, harassed, kidnapped, and detained, as they did with the man in this case, who is a US citizen.

This is actually a really common scam these days. A scammer will call and use AI to replicate a family member’s voice and the family member will sound distressed and having an emergency so you don’t have time to think. Best thing to do is hang up and call that family member “back” to confirm.

The Europeans, the UK and Canada, and Japan are now united in clearly viewing Trump as an ally if not a plaything of Putin. They are slowly beginning to act on this realization.

In Trump's initial peace deal, the money was proposed to be used in U.S.-led efforts to rebuild Ukraine, with profits going to the Americans.

Succinct summary by @amyklobuchar.com on where we are, & where Senate Republicans are (still with Trump).
Congressional Republicans know Americans are furious about skyrocketing premiums and the nearly $2,000 Trump tariff tax hitting every family—yet they’re more worried about Trump attacking them than about doing the right thing.

Hello FIFA, the Olympic Committee, Chamber of Commerce, Travel and Tourism peeps - ain't no one going to come here if required to submit all this info to USG/DOGE/Palantir while also risking to getting thrown into an ICE detention facility without due process and contact with the outside world.
It's not just social media. Looks like visitors to the US from Europe and other countries that are part of the visa waiver program will have to submit an enormous amount of data about themselves and their families, including DNA, if proposed new rules are accepted

AP on Trump now, and Biden in June 2022.

For Trump, declining to 36 percent approval is “good news.”

For Biden, holding steady at 41% is “a source of concern.”

All of the companies that make the software I use are increasing their prices, to account for an "investment" in AI.

I'm sat here imagining how my clients would feel if I added 30% to each invoice, because I "really got into gambling".

The order “was necessary because the ICE Order of Supervision on Thursday night obtained a court order authorizing Ábrego García’s removal from the US mere hours after Xinis ordered his immediate release from ICE custody after granting his habeas corpus petition.”
