they obviously want to be able to revoke passports so this is them running into a limitation on their current power, the regime is not omnipotent
1. In a major update, the Trump administration has reversed course publicly, and now says "all passports" will remain valid until they expire for transgender people.
This comes after many outlets reported a message that indicated passports could be revoked.

An interesting tidbit in the joint status report filed in the Broadview ICE facility case today:
ICE says video from inside the facility "between October 19, 2025, and October 31, 2025, has been irretrievably destroyed" and can't be produced in discovery.

Republicans have officially replaced Libertarians as the party of, "technically it's ephebophilia"
Megyn Kelly: "I know somebody very close to this case…Jeffrey Epstein, in this person's view, was not a pedophile…He was into the barely legal type, like he liked 15 year old girls…He wasn't into like 8 year olds…There's a difference between a 15 year old and a 5 year old."

We found the US is on track to have the fewest foreign food safety inspections since 2011, excluding pandemic years.
In recent years, the FDA has typically been able to conduct ~110 inspections each month, but in March, the number of inspections dropped almost in half.

Friendly tip for folks. My discord got hacked yesterday and my computer was acting funky ever since. Turns out it was malware installed through a blender file I bought as part of an asset pack on CG Trader. I didn’t know blender files were being used this way, but I figured I’d spread the word.

Look at how the Republicans are setting *everything on fire* to keep the Epstein files hidden, you know it's gotta involve like unmarked graves, not just child sex trafficking.
The longer they keep this up and harder they try, the more heinous it's gotta be

DHS confirmed it has stopped automatically storing officials' text messages.
Instead, officials are supposed to take a screenshot, send that to their work email, download it onto their work computer and run a text-recognition program on it. Every time.

whatever you think of Spanberger, the fact that her opponent ran a campaign based almost entirely on transphobia and is on track to eat shit in the biggest blowout the state has seen since 2009 is unambiguously a huge win
Earle-Sears ran what felt like 12 billion ads about how much she hated trans kids and I didn’t hear a single pundit say she should stick to real issues that affect real people.

If you don’t think “serial sex pest who cost the state 60 million in sexual harassment lawsuits and then lost a primary and still went on to deliver one of the most bigoted campaigns since George Wallace as an independent” qualifies as “villain”, then you don’t have a working definition of the word.
Thread: Look I know it's easier cognitively to just have good guys and villains, but a lot of you folks are just not dealing in facts. Andrew Cuomo was a centrist, sure, and he fought a lot with Democrats. But he also pushed some of the most progressive state policies of his era. A partial list. 1/

Let’s put it more simply: what if the blue no matter who folks start disliking genuine criticism of Gavin Newsom from those of us who live in his state. Folks within their “social neighborhood” would have less access to information necessary to making an informed decision about the next president.

Nevada just let property insurers exclude wildfire coverage. Homeowners won’t realize until it’s too late that fire isn't covered. Expect shock, underinsurance, and scrambling for expensive new policies. Plus: pressure for a federal wildfire safety net. open.substack.com/pub/susanpcr...
What happens if property insurers are allowed to exclude wildfires from coverage?
“Are we just going to turn everybody loose and let the fires burn our houses down?” Nevada just did — and others may follow.
