the thing everyone is going to have to accept is that the post-trump period, whenever it comes, will not and cannot be a project of national unity, it must be a project of partisan project of renewal, in the same way that reconstruction and the new deal were partisan projects of renewal.

Hi, this is Meg Barnette, Brad's wife.

While escorting a defendant out of immigration court at 26 Federal Plaza, Brad was taken by masked agents and detained by ICE.

This is still developing, and our team is monitoring the situation closely.

So yes. Just got reminded of this. It's not a long story, and not a particularly beginning-middle-end one, but I've been chewing on the encounter since it happened. Here goes...
I’m going to say more when I’m at a keyboard, but there was a gravity to the event, a new intensity. I had a conversation with a woman as I was leaving that’s going to stay with me a very long time.

RFK Jr.: The teen cum is insufficient. I need more teen cum.
RFK Jr: An American teenager today has less testosterone than a 68 year old man. Sperm counts are down 50 percent.

WATTERS: Wait -- an American teenager has less testosterone than a 68 year old man?

RFK JR: That's right

In a previous generation, the photos of Iraqi prisoners being degraded at Abu Gharib were a source of national shame.

If it happened today, there would be a line of Republicans there for a photo-op.

Come check out my economic policy Wallop Myself in the Dick and Balls Nonstop Over and Over Again. If you notice the walloping, I will triple the walloping of my dick and balls. At the end my dick and balls will feel good somehow. How does this work? I will not elaborate.

Video of the international student at Tufts being arrested by "federal authorities" in Massachusetts has been released and it's terrifying.

They're not even uniformed officers. Just secret police thugs in hoodies and masks.

Last night’s article in the Washington Post about D.C. police responding to a 911 call by illegally letting DOGE onto private property is unlike any news story I have ever read. Every single person should read this article and think about where our society is going.

Late last night, with about 15 minutes notice to the Union, the NLRB’s HR sent an email adopting the terms of the forked-up resignation scam. HR also provided us a contract that appears to be drafted by AI or LegalZoom. As labor lawyers, we’re happy to go over this in detail. 🧵

This is a backdoor. Elon's coders are creating a backdoor into the US Treasury. This is incredibly dangerous both because of its intended use (by Elon and Trump) and the risk of other actors exploiting a major security vulnerability to cause a massive disruption to the US government.

Several conversations today w people in the key executive departments. And while the particulars are hard to pin down my impression is that the Musk take over stuff is considerably worse than is being presented in the press. By this I don’t necessarily things they *done* yet but the level of …

If the FAA director got fired over a business beef AND there was an air traffic controller hiring freeze despite huge shortages AND a chaotic blitz to hollow out federal bureaucracy, and then within a week the first American airliner crashes in 16 years, you would be insane not to talk about it all.

leaving the cruelty aside for just a minute it's absolutely humiliating to imagine being my age or older and getting excited because you think you've been given permission to say a bad word. what are you gonna do next, ride your tricycle past the end of the block
I guess I'm too woke because I find the proliferation of this really off-putting and gross. The fact that it's now reached the "enlightened centrists" class is depressing.
