Tim Murphy's big profile of JB Pritzker for @motherjones.com, like most of what @timothypmurphy.bsky.social writes, is very well executed.
What being a billionaire scion taught JB Pritzker about standing up to one
Few national Democrats have pushed back as forcefully against Trump’s authoritarian crackdown. There’s a reason for that.

DHS is holding children at an immigrant detention center with insufficient food and medicine.
These are not the criminals that Trump promised to get off our streets. These are children.

NEW: The Republican National Committee (RNC) is urging the U.S. Supreme Court to dramatically restrict mail-in voting nationwide and asking the justices to rule that ballots arriving after Election Day — even if mailed on time under state law — should not be counted.
Republicans ask Supreme Court to block states from counting legally cast mail ballots
If the Court sides with the RNC, millions of voters who depend on mail-in voting could be disenfranchised.

Jamie Raskin said he reviewed an email sent from Epstein to co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell that was a forwarded conversation between Epstein’s lawyers and lawyers for Donald Trump.
The DOJ (illegally) redacted Trump's name in the public files.
What else are they hiding?

This Administration’s attacks on Minnesota continue, this time by threatening to allow copper-sulfide mining in the watershed of the Boundary Waters when a majority of Minnesotans have made it clear they don't want this mine.
Not this mine. Not this place. Keep public lands in public hands.

Wow, someone really did not think this through.
"I can 'exonerate' you for a price"—made as a public offer—is essentially an acknowledgment that the person being offered the bribe is in fact...
...a criminal who did exactly what they have been accused of.

Today I reminded FCC Chair Brendan Carr that he has no legal authority to remove the national media ownership cap and demanded he follow the law.

U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.

Our local police, who often live in the community, aren't so afraid that they wear masks. ICE officers are just cowards.
