JUST IN: Democrats flip a seat in the New Hampshire state House.

Dem Bobbi Boudman has won today’s special election, NHJournal reports.

(Boudman was the Dem nominee in 2024 & lost by 14%; Trump won here by 9%.)

This is Dems’ third legislative flip so far this year, after Texas and Arkansas.

This is Trump & Miller's signature issue. They ALWAYS meant mass deportation and Miller vowed it'd be biggest infrastructure project ever

He got what he wanted and people fucking hate it

They may not say "mass deportation" but as long as Miller is there, it's what they are doing so keep saying it

I think every geriatric Democrat deserves a primary challenge, also some geriatric Democrats are like Bennie Thompson and still on their A game. But hey he had to break a sweat and that's healthy.

~Mass judge firings, courthouse arrests, and fear tactics mean 57% of people in L.A. now miss their hearings and get deported without ever stepping into court (up from 14% last year).

Holy shit - this would be very, very bad:
"The databases, called “Numident” and the “Master Death File,” include records for more than 500 million living and dead Americans, including Social Security numbers, places and dates of birth, citizenship, race and ethnicity, and parents’ names."

Jackey Rosen wants Trump to tap the strategic petroleum reserve, to make it easier for Americans to forget about the illegal war, for some reason.

This is the same defect in Democrat Brain that had them calling for a Social Security bonus to help seniors weather tariffs. The “always be caught caring about kitchen table issues” lobe.

No. The point can not be to make the hardship Trump is imposing hard to detect. It must be to end the hardship.

30-40% of the US population needs to be burned by the stove to learn a lesson.

When they're out of power, Democrats should be letting voters understand that putting Republicans in charge is painful. They should not be offering first aid.

They haven't been chanting 'death to America' for decades for fun. I don't know why anyone thought this would be easy or quick*

*actually I do. It's racism

Whistleblower claims ex-DOGE member says he took Social Security data to new job The Social Security inspector general’s office is investigating allegations that the former DOGE engineer took sensitive data on a thumb drive in a major potential security breach, said people familia...

If this is substantiated, a lot of people need to go to jail. And given what we know about DOGE, seems pretty likely the IG will substantiate this unless DOJ gets involved to cover it up… which also seems likely.

Democratic Senators Mark Kelly from Arizona and Richard Blumenthal from Connecticut introduced the Gas Prices Relief Act on Monday which would suspend the 18.4-cents-per-gallon federal gas tax until October 1, 2026. Rep. Chris Pappas, a Democrat from New Hampshire, plans to introduce similar legislation in the U.S. House.

Emergency Responders Say They're Now Unpaid "Roadside Assistance" for Confused Waymos First responders at San Francisco's Department of Emergency Management are fed up with having to deal with blundering Waymo robotaxis.

"Mary Ellen Carroll, executive director of San Francisco’s Department of Emergency Management, warned that the frequency that police and firefighters have to respond to immobilized Waymos was becoming a public safety issue."

Les Milles Camp | Holocaust Encyclopedia Under the Vichy regime, the Les Milles camp held foreign Jews before emigration or, in most cases, deportation to German concentration camps and killing centers.

ICE converting warehouses to deportation camps reminds me of Les Milles, a tile factory that was converted to an infamous deportation camp and prison by the French Vichy regime. Thousands of "enemy aliens" were imprisoned here, many of them were sent from there to Auschwitz and Dachau.

People in LA are sending their kids to school in Waymos and they're fucking up the drop off line, too. For you parents who know how fucked up the drop off line already is, this is throwing kerosene on a raging fire.

Driving is mostly reasoning, not rule following.

Good words of warning here. AI models are generally designed to read and incorporate (and, in a sense, believe) virtually everything they find online, with very few guardrails. The information can get divorced from its original source, context, & rebuttals or retractions. That's a really big problem

The DOJ is suggesting that gender-affirming care providers may be engaging in "conspiracy" because they're prescribing medications off-label. That poses danger for an important backstop in the event old restrictions on the abortion pill mifepristone are restored:
