Well sending Blanche out is the tell. We’re not seeing anything of consequence.
Blanche on Epstein files: "Today is the 30 days. I expect we're going to release several hundred thousand documents today, including photographs...now, the most important thing is we protect victims. We are looking at every single piece of paper making sure that every victim is completely protected"

I respectfully disagree with the jury’s verdict in the Judge Hannah Dugan case.
The trial evidence showed that Judge Dugan did not obstruct ICE agents from arresting an undocumented immigrant.
Let’s see what happens on appeal. Meanwhile, our support for Judge Dugan continues.

For a GOP president—after the Iraq War—to say outright that invading Venezuela is all about oil is wild. But it is. It’s also about corruption, power, graft, and land. And we should take him at his word.

73% of ICE detainees have no criminal convictions, according to govt data.
Don’t fall for Trump’s lies about targeting the “worst of the worst.”
As ICE terrorizes cities to fill up detention centers, remember that some of Trump's major donors are private prison corporations.

counterpoint: nothing you post on any social media platform will in any way combat the dangerousness of the right
IMO it's hard to combat the dangerousness of the right by participating in a platform where they aren't present.
I think the best way to explain the X vs Bluesky preference is whether a person thinks the left is more annoying than the right is dangerous.
The reason so many Noah Smiths end up on the X side of that equation is that while the left annoys them personally, the right mostly endangers other people.

Q: At the end of this year, those extended Obamacare subsidies expire. What's your message to those 24m Americans who will see their premiums go up?
TRUMP: Don't make it sound so bad. Obviously you're a sycophant for Democrats. You're obviously a provider of bad news for Republicans.

Abrego Garcia is not a "proven human trafficker." He has merely been *accused by the government* of being one. That's not the same thing. And if Leavitt is so certain of these charges, why is the administration attempting to deport him to Africa to avoid trying him in a US court?
Q: Does the White House have a response to a judge ordering the immediate release of Kilmar Ábrego García from ICE detention? Will you appeal?
LEAVITT: Absolutely. The White House opposes this activism from a judge. He is a proven human trafficker
