I have a sneaking suspicion that Majority Leader Thune does not like Speaker Johnson very much.
Mike Johnson says he's talked to Thune & he's "very confident that when this moves forward in the process - if & when it is processed in the Senate, which is no certainty - they will take the time methodically to do what we have not been allowed to do in the House. To amend this discharge petition."

This is why they didn’t want him back: He is a witness.
“In Cell 15, Plaintiff Abrego Garcia and 20 other Salvadorans were forced to kneel from approximately 9:00 PM to 6:00 AM, with guards striking anyone who fell from exhaustion. During this time, Plaintiff Abrego Garcia was denied bathroom access and soiled himself…”

Are people not allowed to go to their homes? Was she just supposed to sleep on the streets?
He shot her without even asking her to see her ID to prove she lived there. Just shoot first, and threaten to shoot again later if she doesn't move along.

I’m sorry but I’m still thinking about the Secretary of Defense texting “We are currently clean on OPSEC” to a group chat that, unbeknownst to him, included the editor-in-chief of the Atlantic magazine.

Having to pay back wages to workers you unlawfully fired—while creating chaos in agencies that now need fixing—is literally the exact opposite of efficiency.

"It's so bizarre to me how obsessed you are with the federal government," sneered the woman to the people who elected her to be their voice in the federal government.
Holy shit. Republican Harriet Hagemen got torn apart at a town hall in Wyoming last night. In a state that voted for Trump by 46 points.
She tried defending DOGE and it went as well as you’d imagine.
“Deport Elon, Deport Elon!”
Watch to the end…

Final point: The "short-term pain" would not be evenly distributed. Tariffs hit low- and moderate-income households hardest. So do cuts to Medicaid and other programs. So do recessions. And while a recession may be temporary, the impacts can be long-lasting.

Reached out to a very distant acquaintance at Perkins just to say "wow, this is really outrageous and fucked up, sorry you're going through it" and she was sincerely appreciative of other lawyers reaching out.
Just sharing for those of you who may be wondering "should I say something to them"?

OK, charts thread! Starting with the top line: Job growth has been a bit slower to start the year, but remains solid. Note, though, that these figures pre-date most of the cuts in federal government jobs. #NumbersDay #EconSky

“Not wavering” under the pressure of the White House actually is an achievement and one that’s worth praising.
It’d be nice if other media outlets cared about journalism enough to stand alongside them.

For the past week The AP has been trying to engage the Trump WH re: the "Gulf" ban. Today, I'm told, AP exec editor Julie Pace sat down with WH chief of staff Susie Wiles. AP is not wavering re: its editorial independence, so it seems unlikely anything was achieved in the meeting
