It’s wild to me that people who will refuse to read a New York Times article because they don’t trust the media, will happily ingest poop milk produced by someone they’ve never met but who has a good MAHA marketing team.

As I asked friends and co-workers more than 20 years ago, when state constitutional amendments banning same-sex marriage slimed across the nation, do they seriously believe such measures will make gay people go away? #ksleg

One of the things that really trips a lot of analysts, including ones with real skin in the game, is that they refuse - absolutely refuse - to accept how stupid Trump very obviously is. He has no knowledge of anything, is incapable of learning, and only remembers the last thing to happen to him.

The DHS Attorney who had a viral public meltdown in court at the height of the ICE occupation because it was too hard to follow court orders is now running for Congress as, get this, a Democrat. If we can learn what district she is running in, we can ask why she signed up to keep folks detained.

Americans Have Never Had Less Recourse for the US Government Violating Rights: A Conversation With Steve Vladeck Accountability under both state and federal law faces high hurdles, but Congress could fix that

I sat down with @stevevladeck.bsky.social at @theunpopulist.net to discuss the hurdles to states potentially prosecuting ICE agents for murder and other crimes, and the need to fix Section 1983 so federal agents are subject to civil liability for violating people's rights.

The DC Bar charges against Ed Martin are very Ed Martin-y. After DCBar starts inquiry, Martin writes Chief Judge of DC Court of Appeals 3x ex parte—twice after being warned not to—& demands that DCBar counsel be suspended—triggering additional charges.

The Lawlessness of Trump’s War in Iran The ferocity of U.S. and Israeli attacks has raised questions about whether the two countries are even attempting to minimize civilian casualties.

I spoke with @ichotiner.bsky.social about how the U.S. and Israel are waging the war in Iran, how the Trump Administration has dismantled the architecture meant to protect civilians during war, and whether we are headed for a new kind of lawlessness.

The worst cabinet in American history And it's not even close.

New in PN: The worst cabinet in history

"Even having one or two cabinet members as disastrous as Noem, Hegseth, Kennedy, or Bondi would be a stain on any administration; putting them all in one govt has created a kind of Bizarro World 1927 Yankees, an all-star team of incompetence and malevolence."

Guess What Moderate Democratic Voters Aren’t Anymore? Moderate. Two new polls suggest that moderate Democrats, too, want higher taxes on the rich and some measure of economic populism. Moderate isn’t what it was in 1992.

Moderate Democrats with columns in newspapers are constantly saying the Democratic Party is way too liberal on "social" issues. Moderate Democratic voters in real life do not feel this way. With some polling data from @gelliottmorris.com and @dataforprogress.org. newrepublic.com/article/2074...
