Guards began beating him. Beat him until he bled. Knocked his face into the wall, broke all his teeth. No access to outdoors, no contact with relatives.
Now describing US knowledge of CECOT's torture practices, followed by footage of Trump praising those practices.

So apparently there are many Epstein files on the DOJ website where you can highlight the redacted text, copy it, and paste it onto another document to read the redactions

People said they’d be expensive and bad and turns out that’s true!
We have a new @budgetlab.bsky.social report out today looking at the short-run effects of tariffs so far. Basically, we asked the questions, "What do we see in actual data to date, and how does it compare to our priors." In brief...

IMPLIED CONSUMER PASSTHROUGH. In June alone, we estimate 61-80% of the new 2025 tariffs were passed through to consumer core goods/durables prices, roughly in the middle of prior studies. This suggests US consumers were paying the majority of tariffs by June.

GOODS PRICES. Goods prices are higher than they would be absent tariffs. Durable goods prices (furniture, appliances, electronics, etc.) & all core goods prices (durables plus apparel & other nondurable goods) were 2.3% & 1.9% above their pre-2025 price levels in Jun & Jul.

Dr. Dmitri Daskalakis, who resigned from the CDC says that RFKJr said he believes that Avian flu should be allowed to "burn through" the chickens and then children and others, so we can propagate a "stronger species". RFKJr believes in eugenics.

this point—that this era is not forever and accountability can come in many forms—has for some reason proved bizarrely elusive for democrats
Illinois Gov. Pritzker vows to pursue Trump officials who participate in an illegal National Guard deployment to Chicago:
"If you hurt my people, nothing will stop me - not time or political circumstance - from making sure that you face justice under our constitutional rule of law."

Gentrification is what we call it when demand exceeds supply. It is not caused by bike lanes.
The answer is not to suppress demand by enshittifying cities, or to justify endangering & killing people outside of cars as a rent control mechanism, but to increase supply.

You can think what you want, but from where I sit there is no indication Trump intends on giving up power in 2028, and we should just assume he’s not.

The crisis the democrats face is really profound and I see no end in sight. Deeply worried, because this is our country and it’s great.
the top 6 stories on the nyt right now, in order, paint an indelible picture: trump is pushing a white nationalist-tinged authoritarian agenda on multiple fronts — and his party is enjoying historic gains with voters

The City of LA, embarrassingly, voted yesterday to oppose #SB79 (legalizing housing near transit).
Watch this incredible rebuttal from @cd4losangeles.bsky.social, where she says that the city isn't acting in good faith to address the housing crisis, & that state intervention has been necessary.

“Absent the availability of criminal prosecution for a President's violation of the PCA, this important check on military power would be weakened if not eliminated.”
