Uncle Luke previously failed to become Miami-Dade mayor, but that was a very different time and I'm all for him taking this moment to tackle Congress
I also support Luther Campbell's run for Congress and it's not just because he was in maybe the most "this is 1990" photograph ever

Actually it's not Trump that's doing it! It's the hundreds of Republican state lawmakers who've backed laws that eliminate vaccine requirements that are doing it.
This is just as much a public policy choice as occupying Minnesota is. It's also even less popular. There's a lot out there, but Dems should be making it clear that Trump is doing this.
South Carolina measles outbreak reaches 789 cases, surpassing Texas.
The ongoing outbreak is the largest since measles was eliminated in the country 26 years ago. www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

All these ICE agents look like they're about to eat an ortolan
I'm starting to think the Trumpist mastery of propaganda is failing them. The DHS agents posing this way makes it look like they're ashamed of themselves.

For the late afternoon crowd, check out the latest edition, which includes some critical Vivek Ramaswamy updates (relax, he's doing a horrible job on the trail and if he wins it'll only be because Ohio is too Republican)

Congrats to the Wired team, which decided that it needed another ungovernable writer
Big news that I'm delighted to no longer be keeping a secret: Next week I join @wired.com as a senior writer!

As everyone knows, this is a top-tier publication and indispensable record of digital life today. I'll be covering internet culture in all forms, as I have for almost 15 years now.

Just visited with Liam and his father at Dilley detention center. I demanded his release and told him how much his family, his school, and our country loves him and is praying for him.

I feel like I could eat the whole thing except for the baked potato. Throwing that in is pure evil.
My friend tried this a couple of years ago.

How it started: How it ended:

We had a good time following his attempt on the live stream, though.

Honestly I think if the Dems could somehow win a mask ban for federal agents, I think it would be a huge start. The impunity these dipshits feel being masked up is palpable.

A retired Minneapolis couple who had guns pointed at them by ICE in a church parking lot.

"They were obviously not trained at all. I've known many police officers in my life. These people were right off the streets."

"They had the professional demeanor of criminals."

If they try to target Armenians next that is probably one of the dumbest things they could possibly do.
the micro-targetting of diaspora groups is genuinely getting insane

You could describe it as a flaw in Tolkiens writing that all the evil people are stupid assholes who just want to stab each other in the back and have no plans other than general evil, but it turns out that’s exactly what evil people are like, he got it completely correct.

You can see this from the Ileana Garcia - Katie Miller tiff too, these people are only united by a belief that they should be in charge and that means they're going to turn on each other the second they sense vulnerability
