the TSA went from security theater to Schutzstaffel spies in one easy step
WOW. @haleaziz.bsky.social with a new scoop: ICE now gets a running list of every person who is going to be taking a domestic flight inside the United States from the TSA and runs it through their database looking for targets. This explains the Babson College student's arrest.

It’s been two weeks since ICE took Yuanxin Zheng from his father. He is six years old. He’s still not home. This has to end.

Sauer saying something is unconstitutional because it "would be unconstitutional under Justice Scalia's dissent" is a remarkably cogent statement of the Roberts Court's approach to precedent.

My constituent, Wilmer, was mauled by an ICE attack dog despite the fact that, as he has consistently explained, he was not resisting arrest or trying to flee—his wife and young children, all U.S. citizens, were forced to watch helplessly as Wilmer was violently attacked and dragged away.

The current Supreme Court has forfeited all legitimacy.

Democrats (and everyone) need to address that reality.

John Roberts > Roger Taney.

Court needs to expand. And have fixed terms—like *every* other supreme court in developed world. And have ethics rules, like all normal organizations.

Private jet usage should be taxed at such a rate that it makes billionaires wince every time they think about doing it.

If you're not, say, transporting donated organs on ice, you don't need to do it.

As a non-military lawyer, I am appalled beyond belief that (even if true, which it obviously isn't) "attempting to continue their drug run" from a burning boat can qualify as being either a valid military target or a "threat" to the US navy, especially when it's about someone WE AREN'T AT WAR WITH.

Rand Paul tells me that he wants the full video of the Venezuelan boat strike released.

“And I think if the public sees images of people clinging to boat debris and being blown up, I think that there is a chance that finally, the public will get interested enough in this to stop this.”

Democrats should ask: when residential natural gas prices are at their highest ever, why are we exporting a record amount? Why not use it to make energy more affordable here?

The GOP has no answer for this; it contradicts everything they claim they're doing.
