Democratic leadership didn’t want to stick their necks out for him. The GOP didn’t want him even referred to as a “Maryland man.” Sen. Chris Van Hollen, his congressional representative fought for him. And we should never forget any of this. apnews.com/article/abre...

Israel has killed 249 journalists in the last 2 years.
That's more than were killed in WWII & the Vietnam War put together.
A Vermonter, Dylan Collins, was wounded in one of these attacks, which killed another reporter. This war against journalists must be investigated & ended.

Yesterday, President Trump issued an executive order blocking state enforcement of AI regulation. This comes after a flood of donations from the AI industry to the Trump administration, as we map out in our money in politics roundup: bit.ly/42wEcSM

The immigration “judge” allegedly sua sponte — meaning without any request by a party, which is obviously a lie given the circumstances — “corrected” the 2019 order to fix a “scrivener’s error” and order Mr Abrego Garcia deported.
Not surprisingly, Judge Xinis blocked that. What a corrupt act.

The fact that the entire Pentagon press corps covering the world's biggest military has been replaced with right wing influencers happy to act as administration enforcers is a legitimate crisis for democracy and global security.
This is a really disturbing story on several levels and certainly anyone who interacts with the Pentagon specifically or the administration more generally should read it:
I asked the Pentagon about Pete Hegseth's mentor. Then the threats started.
Journalism in the second Trump administration gets personal.

I don't know if it's possible for Democrats to make a federal judge a mainstream issue in the 2026 midterms. But if anything like this is ever going to work, it's "Emil Bove is a corrupt war crimes enthusiast who attends Trump rallies for fun, and we will impeach him on our first days in office"
Emil Bove Will Always Be a Trump Rallygoer First
Trump demands loyalty from his judicial nominees. As Emil Bove demonstrated on Tuesday, his nominees are very comfortable with displaying that loyalty in public.
