I was kind of sad and angry when MSNBC let @katiephang.bsky.social go, but now I think they did us all a big favor because we get Katie Phang unleashed. She no longer has to hold back to protect a big corporation. We scored.💙
Phang: If that happened in January, how in the actual hell is Blanche now telling the American people that they suddenly discovered a million more documents?

GTFOH. As far back as January, the entirety of the Epstein files were transferred to Main Justice at DOJ…

In English we know it as “Carol of the Bells,” but the melody arises from a Ukrainian folk tradition of songs welcoming the new year and summoning the forces of nature to meet human labor and bring prosperity.
Do listen.
I wrote about the history here: snyder.substack.com/p/o-generous...
Another beautiful Shchedryk performance amidst ruins.

It was set in what used to be a DTEK thermal power plant — now destroyed by russia.

The contrast between russia’s destructive nature and the Ukrainian will to create beauty even in the darkest times is palpable.

It lived up to my expectations! I don’t mind saying, this is the future I want to see…what I’ve always wanted. So many years I did not vote because I felt I had no voice and my life would never change. I hope to see more like this 🤞🙏

George Retes is an American citizen and veteran who was unjustly pepper-sprayed, arrested, and imprisoned for three days by ICE.

Yet he won't be intimidated by this lawless administration. He's speaking up and telling his story as part of a new $250k @ofthebraveusa.bsky.social campaign. 👇

Holy shit. This video gave me chills. If you watch one thing today, please let it be this.
Women’s March is speaking directly to ICE agents, to their humanity & asking them to walk away from Trump’s unconstitutional crackdowns.

Reading the tealeaves on the SNAP case coming out of the First Circuit. This is very much insider baseball among SCOTUS watchers, but Steve Vladeck offers an explanation about what Justice Jackson was up to that makes perfect sense. Read it.
Bonus 192: The Court vs. the Circuit Justice
Tuesday's ruling in the SNAP case appears to be the second example in seven months (and for quite some before that) of the full Supreme Court taking an application away from the circuit justice.

"Before long, though, he and the other DOGErs buried their heads in their laptops and plugged in their headphones. Their senior leaders had already written out goals on a whiteboard. At the top: Find fraud. Quickly."
The DOGE team was acting like “a bunch of people who didn’t know what they were doing, with ideas of how government should run — thinking it should work like a McDonald’s or a bank — screaming all the time,” former SSA Commissioner Leland Dudek said.
