This is indeed incredible. “Conservative judge” doesn’t quite cut it as a description of Wilkinson. He is one of the most deferential-to-government-power judges in the country. When he writes like Justice Sotomayor it’s signs-and-wonders level.
INCREDIBLE opinion by Wilkinson refusing to stay Judge Xinis's orders in the Abrego Garcia case, condemning DOJ's arguments as "shocking not only to judges, but to the intuitive sense of liberty that Americans far removed from courthouses still hold dear."

Not the first person to make this observation, but it's so striking how the media covered the crack epidemic as a problem caused by black/urban drug users and the fentanyl epidemic as a problem imposed externally on white/rural drug users.

The literal wealthiest man in the world donating hundreds of millions of dollars to a presidential campaign and getting rewarded with a government post where he can award his companies with contracts is the most cartoonish possible rendering of what people warned about after Citizens United.

When the Nazis took power and gutted the Weimar era civil service in government, they also claimed the need to increase efficiency and to ensure loyalty to the nazi party. They did it through the law for the restoration of the professional civil service.

legitimately our best case scenario for the next four years is that Trump gets pushback, backs down and declares victory
the more times that happens the better for everyone
also it demonstrates once again the value of pushing back on absolutely everything

Colombia: We're not taking shackled detainees returned on military flights. Transport them with dignity
Trump: Trade war!
Colombia: OK

⚠️ Trump fires at least 12 independent inspectors general in late-night purge
The dismissals could clear the way for the president to install loyalists in the crucial role of identifying fraud, waste and abuse in the government.

The TikTok ban permanently reshapes the ideological tilt of the online creator landscape towards the right. Cheering for it in any way is extremely shortsighted www.usermag.co/p/the-great-...
The Great Creator Reset
The TikTok ban isn't just a platform reconfiguration, it will reshape the political leaning of the creator economy and permanently alter whose voices get heard online.

The real impact of the TikTok ban is skewing the political discourse further to the right. And that is extremely dangerous.

Off the grid—but from facts.
Trump won the election with one of the smallest popular-vote margins in U.S. history (just under 1.5%), but in news deserts - counties lacking a professional source of local news-it was an avalanche, winning these counties by an average of 54 percentage pts.
