ICE has posted a video of Santa Claus arresting immigrants. Your government is hijacking a symbol of charity to spread fear and hate. it’s up to all of us to defeat these twisted fascists.

a suicide note whose existence and content federal authorities appear to have concealed for years while conspiracy theories about Epstein’s death in their custody raged out of control
DOJ briefly uploaded this letter from Jeff Epstein to serial child molester Larry Nassar:

"Our president shares our love of young, nubile girls. When a young beauty walked by he loved to 'grab snatch,' whereas we ended up snatching grub in the mess halls of the system."

As long as you make comparatively more money losing than winning these scumbag billionaires will tank.
The NBA and its stakeholders have started talks on finding new solutions to prevent tanking -- and the league proposed multiple ideas to the Board of Governors as the sides brainstorm cures.

But it’s the trans folks that are a danger to women in the bathroom…🤬
ICE agents illegally break into a woman's bathroom in a NY nutrition bar manufacturing plant. "Pull up your pants," says a male agent. The agents only had a warrant to review employer documents. They didn't have a warrant to search for, detain, or arrest anyone there.

We raced past “judicial institutionalism” about a decade ago. It’s like redistricting, I’m not a fan, but you gotta make them wish they never started.
"Pulling the Supreme Court back from the cliff is something progressives should view as far preferable to the alternative—where it may not just be the Court that gets pushed over the edge and into oblivion, but our entire constitutional (and democratic) order."

Me in today's issue of "One First":
198. Progressive Judicial Institutionalism
There's important daylight between those who are critical of the present degree of judicial power in the United States in general and those who are critical of the current Supreme Court, specifically.

“Oh no, the virulent anti-semitism we’ve stoked for generations has started to stick to us! And not in the ‘good’ way!”
the anti-semitic Charlie Kirk conspiracy theories spreading like wildfire seems to have sparked a genuine panic among MAGA conservatives that the brand has turned so rancid, combined with, by and large, a complete inability to acknowledge that this was an inevitable result of the movement.

Look, books and covers and all that, but it seems like a bad move to put a grown man named “Biff” in charge of something like that.
Biff Poggi on why he's the right person for the Michigan job:

"Because I know what the hell I'm doing. … The program means a lot to me. It's one of the things I want to fix before I go smoke myself to death with a cigarette. I want to fix this program."

In case you're unclear on what JD Vance is trying to do here maybe it will help to recall Italian writer Ignazio Silone's 1938 description of what fascism is:

“Fascism is a counter-revolution against a revolution that never took place.”
JD Vance: "In the United States of America you don't have to apologize for being white anymore"

i get what hes saying but theres nothing wrong with exposing epstein associates becoming “just a democrat thing”
Khanna on the House holding Pam Bondi in contempt: "It's coming from Republicans too. If it was just me out there or Robert Garcia, it would be seen as 'this is just a Democratic thing.' This is gonna be Thomas Massie leading it. There are a few Republicans who are on board with it."

I remember when he pitched a no-hitter and Tina Cervasio said something “I know your parents were here tonight, what does that mean to you?” Followed by the longest “Uhhhhhh…” in TV history, then “I’m sure they enjoyed it back in Beaumont.” The terror on both faces during the exchange...

If I ever was in a position to need an agent of any sort, I want Scott Boras.
Interesting how two big unsigned Scott Boras clients with reportedly weak markets both have an Athletic piece insisting a big money team should sign them even if they have to overpay, on the same day
