This is an immensely significant document that continues to get virtually no attention in US media—but lots abroad. In Jul 2015, Epstein arranged a meeting between a known highest-level Russian intel operative, Sergey Belyakov and Peter Thiel,

Here's @rickhasen.bsky.social detailing the scenario in which Trump uses search warrant to seize ballot boxes in a contested 2026 locale. This is more worrisome than ICE at the polls. Hasen also suggests ways to act against this now.

It's harrowing stuff:

Luttig: It doesn’t matter what the Supreme Court does from this point forward. For two years, the Supreme Court has authorized the absolute lawlessness and unconstitutional activity of this president.

Trump talks about the crime before he commits, believing it grants him immunity.
Trump seems to be so worried about the midterms that he is looking for ways to manipulate the election process, rather than abandon the cruel policies that are making Republicans so unpopular:

This is one of many signs that Trump knows his party is in big trouble in the coming midterm elections.

Heads are going to explode 💥

Cato Institute just nuked the lie. Immigrants have cut U.S. deficits by $14.5 TRILLION since 1994, slashing the national debt by a third.

All that “immigrants are bleeding us dry” noise? Absolute bullshit.

there's something unholy about the Trump administration being laser focused on "fraud" while Trump pardons an endless clown car of fraudsters and bilks taxpayers at every opportunity. it's just transparently absurd.

Anti-semitism may cause fissures in the MAGOP base but there's one hated of the other they all agree on: racism is in its DNA.
I've been working on this one for a while. It's about how we got here, and where we're going. I hope you'll read it to the end. Gift link: www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

Alabama has the worst maternal mortality in the United States at 60 deaths per 100K live births. For reference, California has 18 deaths per 100K live births.

But Dr. Oz thinks it’s “cool” that American citizens do not have access to good reproductive healthcare in the wealthiest nation in history.
Dr Oz: "Alabama has no OBGYNs in many of their counties, so they're doing something pretty cool. They're actually having robots do ultrasounds on these pregnant moms."

Old debate: Is this Fascism?
New debate: Are we a police state?
A Minnesota woman observing ICE agents in her car was cornered on one-way streets. An agent approached, called her by name—citing facial recognition. Days later, her Global Entry and TSA privileges were revoked, with no explanation.

Gangsters, grifters and gaslighters.
MAGA people lining up wanting the taxpayers to give them money. Trump wants $10 billion. Lindsey wants $1 million. J6ers want money. Farmers want money. Of course CEOs want their contracts,
subsidies & tariff waivers. It’s griftapalooza at taxpayer expense for the gangsters.

She took a half step back and then stepped AT this dude. ICE needs 30 masked guys each with their own body armor and assault rifle to even approach this level of courage.

Not murky, transparently hypocritical. Allow the unitary executive to overrule the legislature, in all cases except when moneyed interest are threatened.
In the case of the Federal Reserve, Supreme Court appears to carve out a murky exception
The Supreme Court for the past year has repeatedly allowed President Donald Trump to fire heads of independent agencies, but it appears to be drawing a line with the Federal Reserve.

Trump and the brains behind Trump didn't create ICE without the desire to ultimately go after American citizens.

President Donald Trump’s approach to immigration enforcement doesn’t only threaten the welfare of the undocumented but also the basic rights of American citizens.

Here are six ways the president’s immigration policies are eroding all Americans’ liberty:
You don’t need to be a liberal to oppose Trump’s ICE
You just need to care about your own constitutional rights.

This is very important.

Reclaiming our American flag - whose symbolism has been hijacked by Trump and MAGA - is one of the battles for America’s aspirational democracy.

Actually, reclaiming your flag is often one of the best first strategies against fascists. The US flag has long been abducted by MAGA (and Kid Rock) and now most of its meaning-space is associated with this administration.

Recontextualize it without MAGA. Detach it from Trump.
