- Between this and what they did to Kilmar Armando Ábrego García, when do we rename The Streisand Effect?
- HAPPENING NOW: DHS just expedited Liam Conejo Ramos' asylum hearing to this morning, meaning it's possible the five-year-old and his family could be deported as soon as today. Rep. Joaquin Castro: "The Trump administration is trying to take him away again." www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...
- This was a really fun interview with @iamkeelinit.bsky.social, but what I appreciate even more are her reviews of Long Shadow's two most recent seasons. She engaged with the @vermontgmg.bsky.social-helmed podcast in a really thoughtful way. Thanks for the interview, Keelin!
- Here is @iamkeelinit.bsky.social's review of LONG SHADOW: IN GUNS WE TRUST www.mentallyamagpie.com/review-long-...
- This is such a great interview, and @tonyfrangie.bsky.social's newsletter "What Happened Last Week in Venezuela" is required reading for this moment in South America. Get your news from journalists who are — and have been — there!
- Last night @maddow.bsky.social did an excellent segment on communities pushing back against the Trump administration's attempts to turn empty warehouses into prisons. Americans clearly don't want detention camps, inside or outside their neighborhoods. Read below to see what it was like in WW2.
- I just got a "top fan" badge on Facebook by continually pointing out that @gluesenkampperez.house.gov is perhaps the most useless member of Congress, repeatedly. "Congrats!"
- "Matt Murray, The Post’s executive editor, said on a call Wednesday morning with newsroom employees that the company had lost too much money for too long and had not been meeting readers’ needs." >> Really? You never lost more money (subscribers) than when you spiked your presidential endorsement.
- I'm pretty sure in that moment, your readers were telling you: "We need the media to serve as a fourth estate and wield its influence in politics and over the government." Who am I though? Just another former subscriber...
- "Article I, Section 4, Clause 1: The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof; but the Congress may at any time by Law make or alter such Regulations, except as to the Places of chusing Senators."
- Pirro: "You bring a gun into the District, you mark my words, you're going to jail. I don't care if you have a license in another district and I don't care if you're a law abiding law owner somewhere else. You bring a gun into this District, count on going to jail. And that makes all the difference"
