Days after Washington Post laid off 300 journalists, publisher Will Lewis -- conspicuously absent during the notifications to those whose jobs were cut -- is stepping down. Attached is Lewis' memo to staff, courtesy of my NPR colleague David Folkenflik. READ: https://loom.ly/vZyjS90

This is really crucial in understanding today's right wing: it is an arena in which you can get attention, and become famous, without any skill or insight or knowledge. All you have to do is say outrageous shit.
So it's become a collection bin for all these failed, flailing narcissists.

Learned from the Posting Through It podcast just how many MAGA-era influencers turned to politics after failing at more glamorous pursuits — theater, comedy, fashion, TV, movies, music. Knowles, if I’m not mistaken, had dreams of Broadway.
Michael Knowles and the other Daily Wire chuds play act at being celebrities because it’s the thing they actually crave

Worse still: doesn't "Lip Service" Mikey have a law degree? SMDH.
Mike Johnson speaks out against the use of judicial warrants in immigration cases:
"Imagine if we had to go through the process of getting a judicial warrant"

Were I Phil, I wouldn't come out today. There might be ICE in the vicinity. Their mobile ID app would surely flag him as illegal.

This is a fantastic article, and should be read by anyone trying to understand how we've gotten to this point with regard to these agencies.
As the House prepares to fight over how much of DHS to shut down, I encourage you to pick your favorite factoid from this @vermontgmg.bsky.social report on CBP/ICE criminality and send it to your MoC.

Accountability for ICE and CBP
However bad you think the corruption and misconduct at ICE and CBP is — the reality is far far worse.

Even with the 5' 3.25" Itsy Bitsy Nazi sent back to his hole, it seems ICE actions haven't let up in Minneapolis. Who would have thought that Homan would also be a piece of shit.

Don't believe a word out of this corrupt shitheel. He's been outspoken about assaulting colleagues, citizens, and anything else he's been instructed to dislike for many years.
Homan: "I begged for the last two months on TV for the rhetoric to stop. I said in March -- if the rhetoric doesn't stop, there is gonna be bloodshed. And there has been. I wish I wasn't right. I don't want to see anybody die."

Even under SCOTUS's dubious reasoning in Trump v. U.S., there is no scenario in which maneuvering billions of dollars to an offshore account to keep it out of reach from Congress and courts is an "official act." This is all criminal and impeachable.
Marco Rubio: "The oil proceeds are being deposited into an account that ultimately will become a US Treasury blocked account here in the US. We will say 'this is what this money can be spent on.' They will submit to us a budget request -- 'we want to use the money on these things.'"

As a sports fan it would be heartbreaking, but given the state of things I really think countries should boycott both World Cup and Olympics. I don't see how people would be safe. Anyone bitching at this can refer to us doing the same to a previous fascist host.
"ICE agents will have a security role at the Winter Olympics"
t-minus however long it is til the Winter Olympics before we get a story about ICE disappearing a competitor.

Disgusting. ICE needs to be abolished. Now.
ICE detain yet another minor child—chase him down his own street and tackle him to pavement.
"I am legal! I am legal!" he cries over and over in Spanish.

Q: What goals do you have for '26 in Congress for your agenda?
TRUMP: I have great executive orders. Like, water coming out of a sink. The water wouldn't come out. They had all sorts of restrictions. I took them off. Straws. They don't have to be paper anymore. I'd like to have all that confirmed.

This is the correct take. The amendment is utterly fucking useless unless there are both a) sane enough people to invoke it, and b) the same people are more concerned with the general good than their own power/profit. Neither of those, sadly, are ever true.

Not even just isolation, but retaliation in the face of a mad wannabe dictator on the global stage. That is what the incompetent child in the WH brings to the table.
Looks like the EU-US trade deal is now dead, with all three major groups in the EU Parliament calling at least for suspension. The downward spiral has already begun.
