It’s simple, Chuck. Extend the ACA premium subsidies and reopen the government. The GOP can do this any time.

A tweet by Chuck Schumer says, “Republicans control the Senate, the House, and the White House.” It quotes a tweet from Chuck Grassley saying, “2day is day 12 of the Schumer Shutdown.”

With the government shut down, millions are losing access to critical healthcare and services while billionaires like Peter Thiel sit on $25.6 billion.

That same wealth could cover healthcare for millions of children, adults, and veterans, or fund the salaries of 50,000 nurses. 👇 🧵

It’s actually much simpler than that. Trump and the GOP and many of the gluttonous rich rape kids and are desperate to hide the evidence

If you were loud for Jimmy Kimmel, crank it up for Leticia James. Authoritarian bullies count on silence to get away with it; make some noise and have her back!

Imagine if a woman president went off about every picture of herself she didn’t like. “Hysterical.” “Emotional.” “PMSing.” “Petty bitch.”

One betrayal handed GOP total control, and they showed us exactly who they are & who they serve.
Not a party of ideas, but a party of control, punishment, & power for its own sake.
When GOP get unchecked power, they don’t govern, they dominate.
They don’t serve democracy, they dismantle it.

If you want to know who Republicans really are, just watch what they do when they get absolute power.
In North Carolina, one Democrat’s betrayal gave them a veto-proof supermajority.
So what did they do with it?
Not a damn thing to help anyone. #Voices4Victory #DemVoice1 #USDemocracy #ProudBlue

To understand the rise of tech fascism, you HAVE to get into the dirt of the venture capital firms

This is the backbone of tech fascism -- if you read it all, you will know more about what is happening than listening to 1000 podcasts about it. Took a lot of work

I think Mr. Weigel does a good job answering his own question here, but I also think it has a lot to do with the fact that conservatism has been largely fuelled by its grievances ever since Watergate.

Dave Weigel @daveweigel.bsky.social · 14h

I'm generalizing, but why do conservatives remember political irritations for so much longer than liberals?

It's been 17 years since Obama said some voters "cling to their guns, to their religion" and I heard a senator denounce that last month.

Obvious theory: Media ecosystem puts it on repeat

A lot of the J6 groups came down, btw, based on FB's own calls, because of calls for violence within those groups. That got reframed as "anti-conservative censorship".

What apparently happened here is that Laura Loomer got upset about some groups she thought needed to come down & DOJ made requests.

I'm sorry, is the Trump Administration talking to a tech platform?

Is it...requesting content moderation?

Today following outreach from @thejusticedept, Facebook removed a large group page that was being used to dox and target @ICEgov agents in Chicago.
The wave of violence against ICE has been driven by online apps and social media campaigns designed to put ICE officers at risk just for doing their jobs. The Department of Justice will continue engaging tech companies to eliminate platforms where radicals can incite imminent violence against federal law enforcement.

A federal judge said "DHS, you cannot legally put this language into a grant." So what DHS did is... keep putting that language in grants — but with a new disclaimer saying it would only apply if the court order was struck down.

The judge was NOT happy.

Ryan Goodman @rgoodlaw.bsky.social · 15h

Judge William Smith (W. Bush appointee): The Government has done "precisely what the ... [court's] Order forbids."

The case is Illinois v. FEMA

On Wednesday, we'll publish an updated catalogue of such judicial decisions on noncompliance with court orders at @justsecurity.org at the link below:
