Gallego: "It's murder. It's very simple. If this president feels they are doing something illegally, then he should be using the Coast Guard. If this is an act of war, then you use our military and then you come and talk to us first. But this is murder ... it's disgusting."

Rand Paul on Trump's strikes on boats: "I would call them extrajudicial killings. This is akin to what China does, what Iran does with drug dealers -- they summarily execute people without presenting evidence to the public. So it's wrong."

Maybe we should all apply and then wash out of the academy.

John Pfaff @johnpfaff.bsky.social · 2d

Omg, this detail from CNN about the ICE hiring snafu is wild. This seems like an HR 101 level thing to get right.

They turned a hiring bonus into something much closer to an application bonus.

Seems like a great way to burn a ton of cash. Also? Here’s some waste for sure!

The signing bonus also prompted discussions internally because it’s not contingent on a key part of the hiring process, which is passing the academy, another source said. Even candidates who don’t pass the academy and are slotted for administrative jobs are still pocketing thousands of dollars.

Tennesseans deserve leaders who protect them and respect the limits of their office. That’s why we’re in court to defend the people of Memphis.

Why attorneys are confident in lawsuit seeking to block Memphis National Guard deployment

Despite a temporary restraining order being denied, an attorney suing to block the National Guard's deployment in Memphis is confident in the lawsuit.

It wasn't fake. It was edited. But Reagan really did spend a five-minute speech – an April 25, 1987, national radio address that the Reagan Library has published on YouTube – to rail against tariffs. It was a full-throated expression of support for free and fair trade.

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube.

Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X).

Next year, we'll welcome 125,000 new New Yorkers to our city. But many families don't have what they need to give their babies a healthy start.

Building on @bkbpreynoso.bsky.social's pilot, we'll launch citywide Baby Baskets, providing new parents with essential items and resources.

This is far from the most important issue here, but the Ontario govt was under no obligation to "seek...permission to use and edit" any recording of Ronald Reagan that is in the U.S. National Archives/Reagan Library, as is the case here. And the Reagan Foundation has *no* relevant role here.

Matt Novak @paleofuture.bsky.social · 2d

Here's the statement from the Reagan Foundation.

"The ad misrepresents the Presidential Radio Address, and the Government of Ontario did not seek nor receive permission to use and edit the remarks."

The Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Institute learned that the Government of Ontario, Canada, created an ad campaign using selective audio and video of President Ronald Reagan delivering his "Radio Address to the Nation on Free and Fair Trade," dated April 25, 1987. The ad misrepresents the Presidential Radio Address, and the Government of Ontario did not seek nor receive permission to use and edit the remarks.
The Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Institute is reviewing its legal options in this matter. We encourage you to watch President Reagan's unedited video on our YouTube channel.

He's no doubt doing it as a provocation (probably even on Lewandowski and/or Stephen Miller's orders), but the last 4 docket entries in the Chicago Civil Rights lawsuit are Bovino-snitching.

deleted this earlier, but: the ugly nativism we just saw from the Mayor ("we can't let NYC turn into Europe") is shocking, but not surprising. between the kash patel boosterism, the attack on trans children, and now this, it's clear he's been going down this dark path for a while

In 1968, Aretha Franklin stepped onstage and transformed “(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman” into more than just a song—it became an anthem of power, love, and vulnerability.
Her voice carried the weight of history, yet soared with timeless grace. #goffinking
