SCOOP: The Trump administration is providing the names of all travelers passing through U.S. airports to immigration officials in search of people with deportation orders, a substantial expansion of government efforts to draw on data to hunt down immigrants.

I knew we could count on the New York Times to write a normalizing headline about Trump’s fake “pardon” of Colo. voting machine tamperer Tina Peters. The headline makes it seem as if Trump knows it’s only “symbolic”; Trump didn’t say that when he ridiculously claimed a power he doesn’t have. 1/3

New US federal AI executive order, attempting to override the states.

My bet (not a risky one) is that this'll serve as a serious accelerant to the local / regional opposition to data centre growth, slop-related job losses, content theft etc. A massive-scale rake-step

one of the worst days of the crumbling Trump presidency: loses In indiana, loses in Kilmar Abrego Garcia case, loses in Tish James grand jury, loses in House vote to override union busting EO, and FBI embarrassed in inability to answer basic questions about ANTIFA (which is not an organization)

This should be the biggest story in the country right now. The sitting US President was extorting state lawmakers from his own party by threatening to withhold public money if they didn’t gerrymander for him.

I don’t know how else to say it…

The regime is weak. That doesn't mean it's not dangerous. But it means it's beatable, and we're beating it.
Trump 0-3 on indicting Tish James and just had his ass handed to him by Indiana Republican legislators he threatened and bullied. Also new low in AP poll at 36% approval.

10/10 In other words, Congress was perfectly capable of passing legislation—bipartisan legislation, even!—to address major national problems WHEN majority party leadership was willing to allow that to happen. And that happened when Democrats had agenda-setting power. /Fin/

It is absolutely wild that the guy who won’t stop yelling about law and order is now personally stepping in to keep January 6 documents hidden from the police officers who were attacked that day. He knows exactly what’s in those files and he is terrified the country will see it.
