All of these bootlegged copies of the 60 Minutes segment flooding my feed (saying, ‘Watch it quick! Before it disappears!’) makes me feel like I’m in the Soviet Union and just got some black market foreign newspaper I need to hide under a floorboard in my house.
This is where America is now
George Retes is a U.S. citizen and Iraq war veteran. He was detained by ICE and held in solitary confinement for three days without explanation.
George shared his story before Congress to make sure no American has to endure the same abuse he did.
Who is following these illegal orders?
He likely believes this is true. He’s an idiot.
“This is what makes US technology firms’ support for Trump so confounding.”
What Stuart Stevens says is perfectly obvious, and something you will not see reflected in any of the major media coverage.
It has been said before, but it bears repeating: the elderly who’ve worked their entire lives to get $800 a month on Social Security aren’t bankrupting America. It’s tax-evading billionaires like Trump who are bleeding this country dry.
For the first time in shutdown history, neither party seems to see an upside to ending the government closure, @dgraham.bsky.social argues in The Atlantic Daily.
In late-stage authoritarian systems, physical retreat signals absolute democratic decay. As seen in Russia, where Putin’s elite withdrew to militarized compounds, governance shifts from civic accountability to coercive preservation. Washington’s new bunkering reflects the same authoritarian drift.
NEW: The DOJ filed felony charges against Illinois Democratic congressional candidate Kat Abughazaleh for allegedly conspiring to impede an officer. The case raises First Amendment and electoral concerns, as opposing Trump’s Chicago immigration raids has become a central part of her campaign.
A Nature poll found that 75% of U.S. researchers are considering leaving the country.
Guyz, even the *historians* are leaving or contemplating / likely to go. Including, at least 3 historians that I know of in my subfield. 😢
Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents.
They’ve had their necks kneeled on.
They’ve been held outside in the rain while in their underwear.
At least three citizens were pregnant when agents detained them.
I've given my new Senator a lot of shit on here. But I don't think anyone with power has laid out the stakes of what we're facing as clearly as she does right here.
And if she's saying this, it's because she feels she must.
Here are the companies destroying the east wing of the White House
How to win friends and influence people ...
or not.🤷♀️
It's my birthday today and if you're appreciated my coverage over all these years, please considering subscribing to my newsletter. I'm really proud of the reporting and commentary we're publishing at PN every day and paid subscribers make my work possible. Thanks.
Retired intelligence analysts confirm what the political scientists are telling us — and what the world outside is telling us — the goal of these people is the end of law, the end of democracy, and the end of a recognizable republic.

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube.
Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X).
*1981 Sherrilyn horrified by 2025 Sherrilyn saying “let’s post Reagan’s speech.”

OK. *deep sigh* If we’re really doing this …
If anyone has information about this alleged $130 million “donation” — including the identity of the “donor,” if such a person or corporation exists, and any legal opinions purporting to authorize this — please send it my way. I am at crg.32 on Signal.
If Trump’s DOJ loyalists help him take $230M they can be held accountable:
State bars
DOJ IG
Office of Prof. Responsibility
Litigation
& more!
These aren’t minor ethics lapses. They are a coordinated abuse of power
I explained @msnbc.com👇
Chris Murphy: "There's a lot of history that has taken place in the East Wing & it was just destroyed without any conversation in the public, without any consent of Congress. It's absolutely illegal. That visual is powerful b/c you're watching destruction of the rule of law as those walls come down"
He is such an idiot
I feel like a broken record, but I have to keep saying it over and over again: a farmer bailout won’t do much of anything because the market is gone. There will be no incentive to plant next year.
The bailout will help payoff farmer debt to the banks. That’s all.
