“Habeas corpus is the legal principle that requires the government to provide a public reason for detaining and imprisoning people. If not for that protection, the government could simply arrest people, including American citizens, and hold them indefinitely for no reason.”

If Joe Biden said this kind of word salad on "Meet The Press," I imagine it would be a major story. And this is one of his more coherent responses in an interview transcript that has to be read to be believed. (Link to complete interview in next post.)/1

I happen to know that some powerful media orgs were unhappy that AP filed suit; they thought the conflict with the White House would blow over on its own and that AP risked making bad law. The AP's leadership deserves a lot of credit for having proceeded as it did. apnews.com/article/trum...

Elon Musk is telling senior citizens that they are going to have to tighten their belts in the future as the Republicans raid Social Security and Medicare.
The avg SS payment is $1,783.55 a month.

Stephen King, master of the horror novel, just quit Twitter because it'd become too "dark."
That's how horrifying Twitter is right now.
There may never be a more perfect expression of this fact.
