He’s making people ‘illegal’ by cancelling their paperwork. Do folks understand this has never been about ‘doing it the right way’ or ‘following the law’?

Sean Duffy says he now has veto power over appropriations passed by Congress and signed into law. He is the dictator over infrastructure funds. If you do something he doesn’t like, you lose the funds passed by Congress. bsky.app/profile/atru...
Sean Duffy on blue states: "What I can do is I can pull their money. That's the leverage I do have ... I guarantee you that the federal taxpayer is not going to fund their roads and bridges and their systems when they are putting illegals on the roads."

This review by @jkuznicki.bsky.social is just right. It's clear that this book is very stupid. It's clear that we shouldn't laugh or wave it off—this book is also very dangerous.

He also reminds us that we have the arguments against the ideas in this book, and that those arguments have won before.

New in PN: Make America Weak

"It's become clear that Trump's efforts to sabotage America’s economic, political, and defense relationships with major democracies abroad are part and parcel of 'policies' he’s been pursuing at home — all calculated to make our nation more susceptible to autocracy."
Make America Weak
Trump is systematically undermining America's interests at home and abroad.

DOJ briefly uploaded this letter from Jeff Epstein to serial child molester Larry Nassar:

"Our president shares our love of young, nubile girls. When a young beauty walked by he loved to 'grab snatch,' whereas we ended up snatching grub in the mess halls of the system."

I don’t mean to sound extreme, but I don’t think we should have torture camps for people with criminal records either.

Samantha Fulnecky didn’t do the assignment.

She failed.

She cried discrimination and whined to right-wing media personalities.

The University of Oklahoma has now erased the grade and punished the instructor.

This is what academic cowardice looks like.

This is why Weiss’s “it didn’t move the ball forward” excuse is bullshit. Yes, much of this was reported in the NYT and by Frontline.

But 60 Minutes averages 8 million viewers. It would have reached a massive audience that Frontline and the NYT didn’t.
Just watched the 60 Minutes segment. Basically it debunks the fundamental claim used by Trump admin that the detainees it sent there are “terrorists” and corroborates torture using clips from El Salvadorean influencers Bukele uses internally. Would be a shock to low information voters, probably

Wow, weird, when I go to The Free Press's website and search for "did not respond to a request for comment", it turns up a bunch of articles!

Someone should tell Bari Weiss this.

A country that invaded its neighbor, occupies its territory, and continues to bomb civilians does not get to claim it is ‘committed to peace.’

The New York Times investigated 346 people who donated at least $250,000 to Trump and found that more than half of them (197) have received pardons, jobs, government contracts, special treatment, or favors.

Well into his second term, the president and his allies have continued aggressively raising money. Many donors have interests before his administration, The Times found.

Turning Point USA calls me and other teachers “radical” for teaching honest history.
But here’s the truth: THEY are the indoctrinators.
They don’t teach inquiry.
They don’t teach evidence.
