It’s amazing how this country claims to have zero money for helping people but endless money for hurting people.
Awful: Stephen Miller is urging red states to build their own versions of "Alligator Alcatraz." And buried in the budget bill is funding that states can try to tap for exactly that. This could become a route to MAGA glory for young GOPers. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/197899…
Good to see some folks with some backbone who aren’t bending the knee.
Two-thirds of the Justice Department unit that is supposed to defend Trump's policies in court have quit. They find it demoralizing to defend the indefensible and to tear down government when they thought they would be helping to make it work. trib.al/uSNOcaM
The Spencer Davis Group - I’m a Man A pure groove celebration of youthful bravado and musical passion, fronted by a teenage Stevie Winwood. That pasty-faced kid had soul by the bucketload. 1967.

For years, MLB was notoriously harsh to content creators such as Jomboy. Now, Jomboy has a media deal with MLB. Rob Manfred, reflecting on the league's digital strategy, said MLB realized that "We got this wrong" and has moved to meet fans where they are.
Just wanted to take a minute to wish Rachel Robinson a happy birthday. She turned 103 years old today. Her part in his story is usually not mentioned enough. What Jackie went through, Rachel was by his side going through it as well.
Amazing read. Thanks, Ray.
In the four years since Shadow Kingdom premiered, no one has spoken about the filming sessions with Dylan in that smoky “Bon Bon Club.” Until today.
1. The media is normalizing Trump's corruption. There is a massive scandal that almost all media outlets are ignoring. It involves a new Trump Tower that will be constructed in Bucharest. Follow this thread for details.
Another one finds some integrity. Keep ‘em coming.
ICE attorney Boyd resigned from ICE, saying he ultimately felt he "had to make a moral decision" to leave after watching ICE's priorities change under political pressure. "It became a contest of how many deportations could be reported to Stephen Miller. newsweek.com/ice-employee-q…

it's remarkably bleak that Trump has been accused of sexual misconduct by dozens of women, including an allegation that was adjudicated & in which he was found liable for sexual assault, & yet the American public needs still MORE evidence of his depraved character and unfitness.
The hourly rates paid for by taxpayers to staff the Everglades detention camp are more than what we pay teachers in Florida. Just horrible priorities as usual from our state government.
If you’re wondering how much public money the state is spending to staff this immigrant detention center in the middle of the Everglades, look no further as we have the contract for CRS (Critical Response Strategy). They are the ones “managing” the facility.
How did Republicans vote to block the release of the Epstein files if there were no Epstein files to block …
I’m halfway there.

In 2025 a judge had to tell the US government to stop arresting people based on how they look, speak or where they work. Think about that.
One of the finest jazz clubs in all the land for decades.
nope. you can buy a ticket for a show tomorrow at the green mill for ten bucks
When Trump described the Texas floods as a 'giant, giant wave' that the 'best surfers in the world would be afraid to surf,' (yes, he did). it's reflective of his own simple mindedness AND the penchant of his base to consume information as if it's all cartoons and crayons. The…
Trump's megabill includes $45 billion for the construction of immigrant detention facilities. To put that in perspective, the Los Angeles Clippers' Intuit Dome, one of the most expensive sports arenas in the world cost $2 billion. Trump has enough to build 22 Intuit Domes.
