The biggest issue is that this is simply an ongoing siege. Not a lot has changed on the ground, so the media just kind of moves on to the next thing. There’s more feature stories about various aspects of this resistance and local media has been great, but new news keeps happening elsewhere.

The Seahawks 12 thing is maybe the most annoying fan bit in sports history.

My little dude saved up all of his money from chores and Christmas and birthday until he had enough to get a PS5 and let me tell you I’m stoked to play the shit out of it.

I mean, I’m proud of him

Yes: one of the things that has kept protests peaceful is that the insider/outsider dynamic was so pronounced. The feds were invaders; local and state police were separate and not really against us.

What we’ve seen in the last couple days feels like the sheriff and state patrol switching sides.
Friends in Minneapolis are very worried about this development. Both in terms of state police's role in arresting protestors and the worry that this could set off the kind of spiral of distrust and destruction that followed George Floyd's murder.

NEW: The Trump admin certainly put on a show last week about changing tactics in Minnesota after ICE agents killed Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old VA nurse.

Trump even suggested it's time for "a softer touch."

Except residents say nothing has changed. At all. www.huffpost.com/entry/ice-mi...

Two weeks after Alex Pretti’s killing, federal agents have shown no signs of backing down. The resistance definitely hasn't.

Really torn on who to root for tonight. It’s a battle between my deep seated hatred of the Patriots, Bob Kraft, their Trump affiliation etc and my equally strong desire to be right that this Seahawks team isn’t that good.

NEW: A baby held in immigration detention became so sick, she had to be rushed to a hospital in severe respiratory distress.

“She was at the brink of dying,” a lawyer told me.

But the girl didn’t go home after her 10-day hospital stay; instead, ICE put her and her mother back in lock up at Dilley.

The biathlon should be two skiers going against each other directly trying to shoot each other. Maybe with like a paintball gun or something.

The GOP just had its best chance to finally flip a legislative seat in Trump 2.0. Democrats had other ideas.

Chasity Martinez just won a rural Trump+13 in the Louisiana House in a 24-point landslide—an overperformance of 37 points.

Trump is an absolutely failed president just 13 months in. He’s weak and everyone everywhere hates him. It’s only a matter of time before the institutions that went all in on MAGA start course correction.
We’re looking at another very big Dem overperformance tonight—in a Trump+13 district. Dem Chasity Martinez is up 61-39 with more than half the vote in. Notably, like in TX last weekend, the e-day vote has been even *better* for her than the early vote. voterportal.sos.la.gov/graphical

This looks to be an extraordinary overperformance for Dems. With more than three-fourth of the vote in, the Dem leads by more than 20%.

The Epstein Class is really powerful framing
Ossoff: We were told that MAGA was for working-class Americans. But this is a government of, by, and for the ultra-rich. It’s the wealthiest Cabinet ever. This is the Epstein class. They are the elites they pretend to hate.
