WOW! The Washington Post obtained the rest of the body cam footage showing that the drunk-driving ICE agent promised to check if the arresting officer's partner was Haitian. "I’m going to run some checks when I get back." He added that he would have him deported if "not legit."

This perfectly encapsulates what the GOP position is on the shutdown.

I’ve been thinking a lot about a new kind of polling I’d like to see. We have polling that measures public opinion, which is obviously important, but I’d love to see a little more empirical work on public knowledge: what do voters know about politics and policy?
we need an EFFECTIVE, BETTER VISION on homelessness
Under Trump, the draconian future of homelessness policy is coming into focus: mass internment. Utah is building a 16-acre site to detain up to 1,300 homeless people inside locked "accountability centers." This is profoundly alarming.

Vital reporting from @ellenbarry.bsky.social and Jason DeParle:
In Utah, Trump’s Vision for Homelessness Begins to Take Shape

This is precisely why the Virginia Attorney General’s race will be consequential.

If Republican Jason Miyares is re-elected, he will fight AGAINST new Democratic maps…and fight FOR Donald Trump.

I hope all Virginia Democrats think long and hard about this when they cast their ballots.
I need a comedy tv or movie about trump's administration called amateur hour

one of the reasons voters believe the caricatures of the democratic party pushed by republicans is because the democratic party itself believes in the caricatures of the democratic party pushed by republicans
Duh. Those of us on the ground last year actually speaking with middle class/working class voters and who heard from these voters every single day the same - “Trump is an asshole, but Democrats are out of touch” - could’ve saved my new political party a lot of time & money producing this “report.”👇

Studies show that when families who receive SNAP benefits have an able bodied adult, 89% of the time this person is employed

Which indicates many corporations don’t pay workers a living wage-and are thus subsidized by SNAP-yet somehow Republicans never mention this when they cry about “socialism”

President Trump has moved to deploy the National Guard to several U.S. cities, a dangerous and unprecedented exercise of power. "Domestic deployment of the military has happened extremely sparingly in our nation's history,” @lizagoitein.bsky.social told @nytimes.com.

See where the troops called upon by President Trump are working, what they are doing, and under whose authority.

the democratic party’s basic problem is it has almost no control over how its message reaches the ears of voters, especially outside of presidential election years. but rather than devote serious time, attention and cash to that problem its consultants and pundits want to fight factional battles

Good thing there are still British papers or else I'm not sure we would have any real political reporting left in this country

OPINION: "What these conversations show is that for PrEP to work in the South, access to treatment is only part of the equation. Building trust, cultural affirmation and community-led education are equally critical," Brandon Nabors writes.

The New York Post is owned by Lachlan Murdoch, solely because his daddy bought it and passed it on to him.

And it's backing Andrew Cuomo, a meathead whose whole career in politics stems from his daddy being good at it.

But *Mamdani* is the nepo baby, because his mom was a filmmaker? Sure.
Interesting cover from NY Post

Today marks one month since the funeral of Delta State University student Trey Reed.

His family is still waiting on the results of an independent autopsy. After he was found hanging from a tree on campus, the state's initial autopsy ruled his death a suicide.

Here's a timeline of what we know.

I think I’ve covered Dale before, but he leads an astro-turfy Presbyterian church that meets in a community college in AZ. Dale doesn’t have a degree, but he’s got a certificate from an online seminary.
Dear store owner,

I was horned up on crack-sucking leggings.

America is very upset about migrants and drugs coming from Venezuela

So America is trying to destabilize the Venezuelan government

Which would create a lot more migrants

And open up more space for drug traffickers
