Shapiro: I think it’s insulting to the people of Pennsylvania that this guy shows up and tries to convince them to unsee what they’ve seen with their own eyes—rising prices. I guess JD was afraid to upset his boss, and this is what you get.

I was all set to write a year end piece about how we went from Merrick Garland to Pam Bondi. Pivoting instead to what the latest evidence of political retribution means for democracy. This is insane.

This isn’t enforcement. This is harassment.
They’ve grabbed people off the street for how they look, separated families, and scarred communities with masked agents with guns.
I encourage everyone to do as they have — peacefully protect your neighborhoods and neighbors.

Gotta say it's mindblowing to me that the Brown shooter is still at large and they don't even seem to have identified who they're looking for.

One of the biggest moments of my career:
USCIS canceled my client’s naturalization oath ceremony. We filed a lawsuit, went to trial, and the judge swore him in right there in the courtroom!

NSF is about to dismantle NCAR at Russell Vought's direction to protect the fossil fuel industry. It's hard to communicate just how much NCAR does, so let's take a look: I've never worked at NCAR, and I've worked with NCAR researchers once ever. What scientific discoveries has NCAR made possible? 👇

It might get me labeled as a Crazy Bluesky Radical, but I don’t think it’s great that our nuclear arsenal is at the disposal of a demented old man who’s just an exposed nerve of grievances and hatreds with absolutely no impulse control.

Mark Kelly on Trump’s military probe: “I haven’t heard anything — Social media, that’s how we were notified. That’s how unserious they are — I spent 25 years in the United States Navy. I retired from the Navy 14 years ago. I’m not in any command now. I don’t know what they’re talking about”

BREAKING: The House of Representatives just passed a bill that would subject immigrant children to invasive bodily searches and keep them in detention instead of releasing them to their families.

1. A blockade is an act of war
2. The idea that Venezuela has stolen land from the United States is so laughably stupid on its face that even some of his base is like 🤨
