Congrats to Lisa Murkowski on voting for a bill that she herself admitted was not ready in hopes that the House would change it. Now it’ll become law. She had the power to stop it, and instead chose to become complicit. That’s her legacy.

A politician’s job is to make the political case to voters. And few do it better than Rep. McGovern.

Remember when I told you to look up denaturalization?
The White House has ordered the US Dept. of Justice to prioritize denaturalization: voiding the citizenship of US citizens.
Who will it denaturalize? "Any" case that it "determines to be sufficiently important".
Point 10 leaves the criteria opaque and arbitrary.

The Supreme Court has been very active since January, in part because of "shadow docket" cases — which are reshaping Americans' lives. This episode, originally published in 2023, has been updated.
What the Supreme Court Does in the Shadows : Throughline
The Supreme Court is issuing its final decisions of the term this month. But it's been extraordinarily active since January, in part because the Trump administration has submitted over a dozen emergency applications asking the court to rule quickly on controversial issues. Those cases are part of what's known as the court's "shadow docket." And increasingly, it's affecting all of our lives. This episode originally published in 2023 and has been updated.

This is actually nuts, and kind of terrifying, that a Governor has to do this
Washington just took the reasonable step of not allowing the National Guard of other states to operate here without our agreement. It’s not the Guard personnel we are concerned about, it’s other governors in the Trump cult. katu.com/news/local/g...

You probably haven’t heard much about mpox lately.
That’s not because the threat is gone — it’s because public health officials have been racing to contain it.
Behind the scenes, we hold the line. But that line is starting to fray. 🧵👇 🧵👇

Rubio has drunk the kool aid and is officially all in. Today, there is no going back for him.
The Dems are just holding a mirror up to Rubio, pointing out that he's visibly hollowed out & palpably soulless at this point. Other than maybe Lindsey Graham, I can't think of a living political figure who's betrayed themselves more than Rubio at this point.
Rosen to Rubio: "I'm not even mad anymore about your complicity in this administration's destruction of US global leadership. I'm simply disappointed. And I wonder if your proud of yourself in this moment when you go home to your family ... I know you know this in your heart."
