chotiner’s real gift is very quickly revealing how many powerful and influential people are complete morons. Sunstein is asked about his friendship with Kissinger and it’s pretty clear that he’s never really thought about it.

one fact that consistently elides the centrist mind is that Democrats tried flanking Trump on immigration policy, to literally zero political benefit.
The biggest problem American liberalism faces is how to maintain high levels of immigration while respecting the democratic will of the public. I have an idea.

Liberals don’t have to lose on immigration
“Moderating” on immigration doesn't mean abandoning it

You can really feel the collapse of progressive media over the last five years. This thread ignited a case that made it to the Supreme Court and I haven't found a single media institution that has dedicated resources to looking into the claims at the heart of it.

booker ready to do anything other than vote no on republican legislation
Sen. Cory Booker: When you see a democratic nation having their executive begin to arrest mayors, begin to arrest judges, begin to arrest a United States senator who was simply asking for answers to their questions [...] this is something that we should not tolerate.

this is straightforwardly concentration camp stuff.
just in very plain terms: we send people to camps now if we, the government, deem it necessary, without due process. you can file a habeas petition in the united states district court with jurisdiction over el salvador, i guess.

Georgetown scholar Dr. Khan Suri, who was abducted by ICE, was refused food/water to break Ramadan fast, housed in a room without a bed, and issued *used* underwear.
His child cried for days after he was taken and has since stopped speaking.

everyone should be calling this what it is, which is murder. every cut to social security, to medicaid, means people who depend on those programs will die, which is the goal. these are the Death Panels the right lied about
SCOOP: DOGE wants to rebuild SSA's codebase in months, risking benefits and system collapse, sources tell me.
The plan is to migrate all systems off COBOL quickly which would likely require the use of generative AI.

DOGE Plans to Rebuild SSA Codebase In Months, Risking Benefits and System Collapse
Social Security systems contain tens of millions of lines of code written in COBOL, an archaic programming language. Safely rewriting that code would take years—DOGE wants it done in months.

RFK JR IS IN FACT WRONG!!! YOU DO NOT NEED TO HAND IT TO HIM
RFK Jr. is not wrong. We are failing to keep our communities healthy. This message resonates with many.
But I have serious concerns about his ability and expertise to lead such a sweeping overhaul of the HHS workforce. We need accountability, not just rhetoric.
