The replies to this are full of people yelling at Kat, a Palestinian-American politician, for not supporting the shooting of low-level staffers in DC, which has only had the effect of drawing coverage *away* from the genocide in Gaza & provided a pretext for future suppression of peaceful protests.
I’m horrified by the murder of two Israeli embassy staffers at an event in DC last night.
The fact that the gunman said he did it to “free Palestine” makes me nauseous. Murdering people for their nationality is never acceptable and this violence hurts Jews, Israelis, *and* Palestinians.

It was the Flores settlement that eventually ended OADS. Very bad if this is ended.
In a widely-expected move, the Trump admin is making yet another effort to terminate the Flores Settlement, which since the 1990s has imposed limitations on the government's treatment of children in immigration detention.
They lost every effort to do this in Trump's first term.

NEW: Today, the Trump admin filed to end the Flores Settlement-an agreement that provides basic safeguards for children in federal immigration custody.

ok. that's all i've got.
today's democrats aren't who will liberate us in the end, but the folks nearest institutional power are the ones who can, while things are bad, most easily help hold up the falling sky & buy time.
this shit can be both "not enough" & "really matter."

Honey I’m afraid Yurtel went bust and now we’re yurtless for our glamping. No they didn’t take credit card. Anyway we’re out over ten thousand pounds and they’re not doing refunds
![The cheapest package offered by Yurtel was £10,000 for a deluxe bell tent with options ranging up to £16,500 for a presidential suite, which featured a front deck with seating, a king sized bed and a sofa.
In an email to customers, the company said it ceased trading due to insolvency and would commence formal liquidation shortly.
It said that accommodation booked with Yurtel would not be available and advised people to book with another provider.
It added that money customers had paid "cannot be refunded" and advised that details of the claim process would be provided to creditors when liquidation has started.
'Only option'
Lydia, who paid £10,000 plus vat for tickets and accommodation for two via bank transfer, said she was "absolutely gutted".
She claimed the company did not allow customers to book via credit card.
"I tried to get it [tickets] through the normal Glastonbury route and wasn't successful and then booked quite soon after that," she said.
Lydia said "the only option" was to purchase tickets through Yurtel, with her parents also spending £16,000 to join her.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:qc6xzgctorfsm35w6i3vdebx/bafkreiasc7r2yi5bcihus75gaj6ku6s2au7fghgcttbk6f4y33p4ywsasa@jpeg)

I just want to say what should be obvious here: we're supposed to have 3 co-EQUAL branches of govt to check each other. I grew up with very powerful House speakers and senate leaders who defended the powers of their branch. Now we have the opposite of "Profiles in Courage". Lindsey Graham anyone?
