ICYMI this great piece from over the weekend by Moe Tkacik on how Stephen Miller is running the Department of Homeland Security, the Justice Department, the FBI, the remnants of the Department of Education, most of the Pentagon, and whatever's left of DOGE.

Let’s amplify and help everyone looking to take back Congress for the people, and send the corporate sellouts packing. We are stronger together; it’s time to evict the seditious and corrupt squatters. 💪🏻
I believe Louisiana deserves leaders who show up, not sell out. Mike Johnson’s traded values for ambition, but together we can bring power back to the people. Join me and let’s build something better. Chip in $20.25 today.

Hey, anyone else find it weird that our media took 1 interview response of “I’m not looking to do that…,” regarding T running for President again, collectively breathed a sigh of relief like it means he’ll leave office, and moved on? I mean… really? Seriously??🤯

As usual, @mcuban.bsky.social is on point. We don’t need to engage, & we can block for our sanity, but we can’t lose our humanity in the rawness of our emotional experiences. Some folks are so caught up in their anger, they are making false assumptions &spouting hatred at allies.
Just my 2 cents. But my goal is to ignore the trolls. Give them zero attention. Block them if they annoy me.
I think the worst thing we can do on this site is re-create the ad hominem/ personal attacks that occur across comments on Twitter/insta/tiktok/ etc

Excellent read. @editorialboard.bsky.social masterfully breaks down complex machinations into short, directly supported statements on SM. Since we process info differently, these threads have the potential to engage more of us in rational discourse. ✌🏻
1. Donald Trump nominated an alleged statutory rapist and sex trafficker to be attorney general. He picked a Russian asset to be director of national intelligence. He chose a religious fanatic and Kremlin stooge to be secretary of defense.
