We are the shithole nation.
We are the citizens of a rouge, murderous empire.
Our leaders are butchers.

That no one in he Republican leadership -- and none of his GOP colleagues -- have found the voice to condemn this utter trash says everything about them.
Donβt let them trick you. The SAVE Act is not a voter ID bill. Itβs a voter SUPPRESSION bill.

Months after posting financial disclosures online, the Trump admin does not appear to have sent the financial information for some top White House officials to the Office of Government Ethics for a second and often more serious review β including Trump border czar Tom Homan.
being a returning student who, at 33, is old enough to remember what life was like Before All This and knows that Trumpism won't last much longer, I am obviously running around the halls with a megaphone going "DON'T TAKE THAT DOJ INTERNSHIP, IT'S A TRAP!" but a few of them are still doing it, sadly

1. DHS surges 3,000 officers to Minneapolis without doing anywhere near enough prep first.
2. Hundreds of habeas cases overwhelm local courts.
3. Dozens of DOJ lawyers quit in disgust/anger.
4. The DOJ brings in JAGs to cover.
5. A JAG was just held in contempt and fined $500/day for ICE's failures.

If there's one thing writers will reliably take ten minutes out of their day to accomplish: it's complain via email. Not least of all, because it works.

Perfect!

I never had the sense that the activists were in charge on this one. It feels like a real grassroots, networked kind of thing. We shall see.
Underrated post! π

He hates the idea of someone making money when he didnβt.
This is spreading all over Bluesky today and is wildly misleading--it is from eight months ago and it is in reference to working with NATO allies and arming Ukraine.
Thereβs a way to take pictures of him that are flattering? Must be a magic camera!
The First Amendment is clear: The government can't punish journalists for unflattering coverage.
Seldom do you see a man who more needs to be primaried. WHAT an asshole. NOT in the military himself, apparently. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Bur...
More rambling, incoherent nonsense from one of the most most embarrassing members of Congress β 4 soldiers dead, 3 planes downed, and Bumblinβ Burchett is denigrating soldiers who fought (and our military leaders) to run cover for his puppet masterππ½
Tim is a Tennessee disgrace
Get off base, Bondi.
Also: Do your job.
Trump officials moving onto military bases is a ridiculous, absolutely inappropriate thing, and the NYT story that credulously credited claimed threats as justifying such a move is also ridiculous.
Also want to note that Ken Paxton, who is up by ~5% over Cornyn, has stated he would drop out of the runoff if Cornyn gets the SAVE Act passed.
I feel like the pups in the kitchen waiting on a treato!
I will say also that there is a ton of sexism embedded in calling me a "gossip blogger," a constant refrain from critics over my many years of doing this. As is the routine implication that the mayor and I are best gal pals because she wrote five columns for me over two years.
If you're so inclined, please contact KIRO and let them know (politely!) what you think of their decision to use their power to trash a longtime independent journalist and one of the only remaining people reporting on City Hall. mynorthwest.com/contact-us
