"A routine TV hit which would have been quickly forgotten became a national story about government censorship and a Democratic candidate being silenced by Trump’s henchmen. In a tough primary, you couldn’t buy better exposure. Nice work, FCC Chair Brendan Carr."

Before you use numbers from a new DHS “economic impact analysis” in reporting on a new Trump prison camp, please consider that these reports appear to be (to use a technical term) horseshit.

Proven voter fraud cases are far less than 1/1000 of 1% of votes cast. (Right-wing Heritage Foundation numbers). The SAVE Act has nothing to do with election integrity and everything to do with voter suppression. P.S., in the majority of cases it's a Republican.

I've transcribed dozens of interviews. With rare exceptions, everyone speaks with those um/uh tics, little restarts, hesitations, and most of us speak in sentence fragments with emphases, tones, pauses that create coherence not replicable in print. Spoken and written are distinct. Translate fairly.

All I see on my Twitter timeline are reporters parsing every quote from AOC in Germany, trying to mock them for incoherence or inaccuracy, while a demented old man who can’t string sentences together or stay awake sits in the Oval, while the legacy media happily sanewashes his quotes.

This is wild.
41 DUI arrests by a Tennessee trooper. All dismissed. 22 drivers were completely sober.
He “resigned”. No explanation. No accountability. No apology. His personnel file doesn’t even mention the cases.
Police departments shouldn’t be in the business of shielding corrupt officers.

It seems like anyone that wants to commit crimes without accountability is applying for jobs with ICE and they’re being hired. ICE is full of dangerous people that want to hurt people. I don’t want to pay for that.

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.
