posting with obvious pride about remodeling the lincoln bathroom in (very ugly) marble the day before SNAP dries up is a level of out-of-touch that i don't think any president has ever matched, even if it doesn't break through the news.
sure, you might not be able to eat or go to the doctor, but check out how nice Trump's new marble shitter is

We are monitoring the situation in St. Paul and working to understand what unfolded. We received no heads up from federal authorities on this operation.
While we are always willing to work together on public safety, that is clearly not what this chaotic situation was about.

I am absolutely seeing this in real time. I get at least 3 emails a day from people I know and people I don't asking me if I have leads on work. I usually have to say I do not. The job market is NOT GOOD right now at all.

This is exactly how it needs to be done. Go straight for the person/people taking these actions. These people start getting sued individually and they might be a little more hesitant to use the government to target opponents.
“.. The suit, filed in a federal court in Washington, alleges that due to Swalwell’s criticism of President Donald Trump, Pulte began ‘scouring databases at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac’ in order to acquire Swalwell’s private mortgage records.”

Great urgency in reviewing Epstein files. Then silence for three months. Then the July 6 “nothing to see here” memo.
Wonder what they found that led to panicked silence then attempted cover up?

The docs also reveal the number of hours the FBI devoted to the project, which required some agents to work nights and weekends. The FBI paid personnel $851,344 in overtime for working on the Epstein files between March 17 and March 22.

I go from following to unfollowing because he's so dogged in his determination to be wrong about a lot of things, but I've noticed he's never personal, no matter how aggressive even big accounts can be toward him. But he also defends his own sense of honor.
I have him blocked because I find him insufferable and mendacious but to suggest he's in any way a crypto-right-winger or some sinister powerful figure is, well, insane. no he obviously isn't! that's not true!

Wow — Senators Van Hollen, Smith, Murphy, Sanders, Warren, Markey, Merkley, Heinrich have created an official internal "Fight Club."
They're challenging Schumer & Gillibrand's leadership, arguing the party is using an old, corporate-friendly playbook insufficient to take on Trump or win elections.

Publicize that they asked soldiers to abide by the Constitution and disobey illegal commands.

Again, every elected Democrat needs to put out a video stating exactly what Kelly and the others said. If ever there were a line to draw in the sand, it’s here. The military is not the president’s Praetorian Guard.

There's a whole swath of political media -- Semafor, Axios, Politico, etc. -- where the average piece reads like a press release commissioned by its subject rather than an objective and independent analysis of them.
This is just embarrassing.

Terrific conversation here with one of my former students who's just published a brilliant book on how Colorado Springs became the "evangelical Vatican" and what came next.

How did Colorado Springs become the epicenter of evangelical capitalism? What's the link between the Air Force and Christian Conservatism? And how did Donald Trump become the Prayer Warrior In Chief? That's what Will Schultz and I are reckoning with this morning. Links below.

No bailout should be a demand. These people have repeatedly pulled us to where we are & get saved to just do it again in some other fashion. They are too big not to fail. If Democrats think they won't pick someone more competent than Trump to pull this shit off next time they're deluding themselves.
No bailouts. The US should extort these companies when the crash happens so they get minimal compensation in return for nationalizing the entire panopticon industry and then destroying it once harvested for socially useful parts. It won’t happen but it should
when its definitely not a hostage situation

They already have no telling what. Trump was probably too stupid to even monetize it because it's been so unsecured. I bet every call he makes is like an international conference call.

Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.
The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.
