News today that ICE shot a woman is chilling. The videos online show that there are some abusive, masked thugs masquerading as law enforcement.
Nobody deserves this. The courts need to step in.

Media execs have fallen prey to a propaganda and harassment campaign that has completely divorced them from what people actually want right now.
Both their insular information environments (group chats, podcasts) and ambient noise (Twitter reactionaries) have put them in a very stupid bubble.

currently at record-high search interest for canceling disney plus. pulling kimmel is a bigger deal to the company's bottom line than any of the "woke" scandals of the past 5 years. i think news & entertainment corp execs need put more work into understanding their audience, & get off twitter

My two cents: we don’t abandon the Democratic Party. We remake it. It’s a good party. It just has bad leadership.

Perhaps the most depressing part about the last couple of months is that every awful shitty thing that’s happening to this country is self-induced. People asked for this. None of it had to happen.

By voting for the CR, Rep Jared Golden just gave the GOP a talking point of “bipartisan bill” and he also just voted to give up all leverage in pushing back against the administration. The spending power is congress’ only power. While i usually applaud bipartisanship, this is a travesty

Farmers are going to run to Congress for another handout to deal with the retaliatory tariffs and the answer from Dems has to be "no."
This isn't out of retribution, it's because we can't keep creating escape hatches for GOP members of Congress. For the benefit of all, keep the pressure on them.

Oh.
The DOJ has announced that the records and files on the murder of DNC Staffer Seth Rich, which were set to be released March 10th, will no longer be released.
What's Attorney General Pam Bondi hiding?

NEW: A source tells me that response teams for FEMA set to deploy to the South Carolina wildfires are unable to travel because their government issued travel cards have had their limits reduced to $1. FEMA response team cards were supposed to be exempt.
