. @isabelaalhadeff.bsky.social and @nlanard.bsky.social spoke to those close to ten men sent to El Salvador by the Trump administration. The reporting makes clear:

The US is disappearing people, without due process, to a mega-prison because of their tattoos.

Bari Weiss introduced herself to CBS News staff today on the network's 9AM call, saying she wants to "win," which requires restoring trust to CBS. She also said she was excited for staff to get to know the Free Press, and ended her remarks by saying: "Let's do the fucking news."

This is a somewhat hopeful piece on how civic institutions pushed forward unions, which pushed forward civil rights, all paid for by the creation of the income tax. (In short: the conservative nightmare)

I found very clarifying, and maybe it fully hit this time, the extent to which Girard is for Ivy League kids who do not know that life actually is not about competition. But...if you are sickened in a certain way, I'm sure it makes sense for you!

TLDR: Judge Immergut GRANTS a 2nd TRO blocking the Trump admin from sending ANY federalized troops from ANY state into Oregon/Portland. (Full hearing thread below)

Joshua J. Friedman @joshuajfriedman.com · 2d
Judge: That's what I'll do. Prohibit federalization or deployment of any NG troops into Oregon. For all reasons in prior opinion. Deployment of federalized military is ultra vires and contrary to law, violating Title 10, section 12406. I also find it's likely that defendants violate 10th Amendment.

Russ Vought's neighbors have strong feelings about him:

"You asked what it is like living near such a man. Frankly, I'd rather not, but this is a wonderful neighborhood and, unlike Mr. Vought himself, we do not want our neighbors (even Mr. Vought) to be traumatized. So we just live with it."
Russ Vought is Trump’s shutdown hero. His neighbors think his work is "abhorrent."
The people living near Trump's "grim reaper" of government cuts have put up signs letting him know they stand with federal workers.

The New York Times buying Audm, and then putting into the Audio app, just to kill it... is a total tragedy. It really is infuriating.

Being able to listen to magazine articles was a total joy—and a great thing.

It died even as audio becomes more important...
