I feel much safer today knowing that we deported a Babson College student back to a country where she hasn't lived since childhood.
She wasn't even flying internationally. She was flying to Texas.

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.

And let’s be honest: Kimmel is a mediocre comedian and the offending joke was awkward at best. If you lose to that, it’s not gonna be your only loss.
it's very fitting that in retrospect, Trump's failure to oust Jimmy Kimmel was the point that his administration turned. It's been all losses ever since

I might find the idea that Dems deserve unique scorn for failing to beat Trump more compelling if literally every other political actor hadn’t failed in the exact same task.

I think this nets out to bad for the Bears. Rudolph is more consistent now, but it depends on if Rodgers was able to turn it on to pants the Bears.
Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers has been pushing to play against the Bears, but in the end, it was too quick, per me and @tompelissero.bsky.social.
Rodgers should play next week, but the turnaround was just too quick. Mason Rudolph starts against the Bears.

Politics isn’t *only* perception, but Trump is so irrational and inconsistent on substance that it’s *mostly* about perception with him.
So if most people come away from a Trump event saying, “Wow, Mamdani won that one”, it’s basically true.

I think this is right, tho obviously I can’t predict the future. MTG is a good barometer for a certain kind of voter- naturally paranoid, batty, few ideological or partisan commitments.
my take on mtg’s retirement as a former veteran hill reporter:
this is a big deal & indicative of a political realignment & any snarky users here trying to talk you out of it are simply genuinely wrong!

Mamdani has only run in Democratic Primaries and repeatedly had Democratic primary voters say “yup, that’s our guy”. MTG has never run in a Democratic Primary, let alone gotten Dem primary voters to endorse her.
There’s no comparison here. Mamdani is a Dem, and you’ll just have to deal with that.

“Failed” might be overstating it- the odds are long, but the game isn’t over yet.
I *think* the attempt to speedrun authoritarianism has failed. The new acute danger is greater political violence (Trump calling for hangings, etc). But the concerted danger is down the line, when MAGA realizes the bill for all this corruption will come due. www.offmessage.net/p/maga-disar...

We don’t talk enough about how Trump is very vacillating and indecisive.
President Trump said Friday he's "sort of" decided how to proceed on Venezuela, as top officials weigh potential military operations in the Latin American country.
Trump says he's "sort of" made up his mind on Venezuela after top officials spent 3rd day mulling options
The president told reporters Friday evening he's "sort of" made up his mind about his next steps in Venezuela, which his administration blames for narco trafficking.
