Weiss's shtick of saying "shouldn't we unpack this further?" when someone has been summarily detained in a foreign gulag but refusing to say "shouldn't we unpack this further?" when desperate parents are sending their children to get a rare form of controversial healthcare is so effing grating
The full Weiss memo is dogshit
-who cares if administration figures “regret” sending people to CECOT
-who cares about the criminal histories of the people we sent to CECOT, we sent them to a torture prison
—who cares about the “debate” over the legality of sending people to a torture prison

Facts.
I'm trying hard to think of any other nominal Democrat who would be as thoroughly loathed by Democratic voters as much as Rahm Emanuel.
Rahm Emanuel sits down with [checks notes] George Will to test the waters for a possible 2K28 presidential run. That epitomizes the state of the Democratic Party on a national level these days. wapo.st/44DBxqw

Trump: "If you look at the end of the Civil War -- the 1800s, it was a very turbulent time. If you take the end day -- was it 1869? Or whatever."

A lie THIS obvious isn’t an attempt to fool anyone; it’s just a pure expression of contempt.
JUST IN: At Senate appropriations hearing, AG Pam Bondi says she was previously unaware that law enforcement are covering their faces during immigration enforcement. Sen. Gary Peters says people might resist unidentified individuals putting them in a van.

This may be the biggest free speech crisis in living memory. The president now bragging about detaining a lawful permanent resident and smearing him as 'pro Hamas', no outlining any specific crimes he is accused of or charged with. This is what a fascist takeover looks like.

Please please please do not start using FOIA systems as a form of protest. No one outside of a handful of FOIA officers at most will ever see it, and it'll just clog things up for anyone actually trying squeeze valuable information out of the government.
