PTFO collaborated with @msjpauly.bsky.social and @motherjones.com on an investigation into Riley Gaines.

Riley’s messaging about trans athletes involves “predatory men” and “sexual assault.”

Right. As Swin says the lawlessness runs deep. How is it possible that media is covering battle over this video while largely pretending the elephant in the room isn't there?
Of course everyone should be worried about trump and his White House giving illegal orders, they’ve been doing it and plowing forward lawlessly constantly, on things big and small

Even on things as (comparatively) small ball as anti DEI language in contracts: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

CASSIDY: I know it's titillating, but I think we need to move beyond the titillation

TAPPER: This isn't about titillation. This is about the fact that you are the chairman of the health committee and you voted to confirm somebody that by all accounts is actually making America less healthy

“The president is doing this to lawmakers on Capitol Hill, which he already left stained with blood at the end of his first term in office, because he wanted to steal an election he had so clearly lost. Now, though, Trump…
How We Grew Numb to Trump’s Calls for the Slaughter of Anyone He Wants

"In a sane and healthy democracy, a president behaving in this way – as he has many times over the past decade – would quite possibly trigger impeachment proceedings," writes @swin24.bsky.social.

The CDC now cites a ‘67% increased risk of Asperger’s’ from the Danish aluminum study to justify ‘further investigation.’

The actual study of 1.2 million children found NO increased autism risk.

They are literally firing all the judges they think might grant relief. They just fired a friend of mine a couple hours ago. They have no shame. The bastards want an assembly line for deportations and nothing more; rubber-stamping bootlickers who’ll yes’sir at every new diktat to deny.
Instead of hiring more immigration judges, the Department of Justice just posted an ad for "deportation judges." join.justice.gov

"To put that in simple terms so that Larry Summers is able to understand: Summers is a tax society places on women, their extra cost of doing business. Most men are willing to let them pay it. After all, most men know the tax means that they too can benefit."
I know that at this point it's a subplot in the Epstein files drama, but I feel compelled to point out, once again, that Larry Summers HAS NO BUSINESS teaching students at ANY university ever again!

My latest cries into the abyss, in @thenation.com

Why Is Larry Summers Still Employed?
The revelations about the economist’s attempts to pressure a women into a “relationship”—with guidance from Jeffrey Epstein—should finally disqualify him from teaching students.

They misidentified the intern. The judge told them they had misidentified the intern. But instead of double checking, they took that as an affront to their authority. So they surrounded the judge's car and threatened to smash the windows to get to the intern.

They had misidentified the intern.
The part where they threatened to break a judge’s car windows should be a bigger story … they feel comfortable treating judges this way, which means they are being told that they can do literally anything to nearly everyone

NEW: ICE has finally released post-shutdown detention data. The latest data reveals that a full 40%(!) of people arrested in the interior and held in ICE detention have no criminal record; no criminal charges or prior convictions. That is up from just 4% when Trump took office.

Y’all, the opinion and order of the Hon. Sara Ellis in Chicago Headline Club v. Noem granting the preliminary injunction is worth a read in its entirety. It’s 233 pages long, because that’s how many pages it took her to fully detail the Defendants’ misconduct.

There’s a reason why the right hates Judge James Boasberg (D.D.C.) so much. We think it’s because he won’t just look the other way & pretend this administration didn’t lie to his face.

We talk sanctions & so much more.
