"an internet witch hunt"
Every single named person in this article who spread ugly lies about the Brown shooting, even putting an innocent student in danger, is a Republican. One is even a top DOJ official.
This NYT headline makes it seem like it was an everybody problem. It was not.

It's funny how us parochial Americans generally seem to perceive that the EV revolution is stalling or reversing when in fact it's accelerating rapidly worldwide. 25% of cars sold globally in 2025 were EVs!

Since the Internet Archive has popped back into relevance tonight, just an FYI: It's one of a handful of tech nonprofits that have low-key become super important *in general* over the years, and perhaps especially this year.
I feel like there’s a story to be done on the under-recognized importance of tech nonprofits to modern journalism.
E.g.:
• Signal
• RECAP/Courtlistener
• Internet Archive/Wayback Machine
• Wikipedia/Wikimedia
See also: nonprofit outlets like AP, ProPublica, and RNS, obvi.

And it is a way to dance with something other than tariffs on thin ice or discharge petition mandated votes.
The whole system has been built around Hyde compliance, that's why the states that allow it on ACA plans at all keep the funding for abortion coverage strictly segregated. This isn't about Congress controlling federal money, it's trying to tell states what they can do with their own money.

The president of the United States thinks asylum-seekers come from mental asylums.
He says it in almost every interview where the topic of migration comes up.
How is this not 25th Amendment territory? How is he not an embarrassment to this entire country?

Nothing restores confidence in the currency you’re propping up with $40 billion or so like saying the country is dying.
Q: What do you have to say to farmers who feel that the deal is benefitting Argentina more than it is them?
TRUMP: Look, Argentina is fighting for its life, young lady. You don't know anything about it. You understand what that means? They are dying

Why should reporters bother asking him questions when he's only going to pretend he doesn't know anything about it?
Like I've been saying, why should reporters bother treating Johnson like the Speaker of the House when he's effectively disbanded the House.
It's official: Speaker Johnson just cancelled all votes in the House next week.
The next scheduled voting day is 10/27; the last time the House was in session was 9/19.

Trump & Russ Vought are breaking the law — using illegal mass firings to strong-arm Congress into letting health care costs skyrocket for families.
If they want to end this shutdown, they can tell Republicans to end their vacation.

Federal agents aren’t trying to keep the peace. They want violence to escalate so that Trump can declare martial law.
They shot a reverend in the head with pepper balls while he was praying in front of an ICE facility. If that doesn’t tell you where we are as a country, nothing will.

There is a constitutional remedy for this sort of corrupt behavior, and it doesn't have a statute of limitations, Judge Bove.
Border Czar Tom Homan was caught by the FBI accepting bribes - on camera - to deliver government contracts in exchange for $50,000 in cash.
Pam Bondi knew.
Kash Patel knew.
Emil Bove knew.
And they made the investigation go away.

Herd immunity as an adaptive politics. Worth a try.
This is not sexy.
But if Dems can cultivate blocks of 4 Senators or 8 House members to oppose Trump on discrete issues, we can begin to chip away at his power in Congress.
RFK is close to that.
