Unlocked NYT article, pls share.

"The judge then ordered Bovino, who took the stand in his usual green fatigues and Border Patrol insignia, to appear at the federal courthouse at the end of every weekday to personally provide her with a report on the day’s arrests and incidents."

The military uses classified information to protect national security.

The idea that Trump would impose NDAs on the military to shield Trump from political scrutiny should be DOA.

An important read from @markhertling.bsky.social

Why Commanders Don’t Sign NDAs

Existing rules and laws applying to military secrecy are sufficient—and asking officers to sign NDAs is deeply inappropriate.

I’m Democrat David Jolly, and I’m launching my campaign today for Governor of Florida.

Our state is in crisis — not just a crisis of policy, not right versus left, but a crisis of right versus wrong.

It doesn’t have to be this way.

ICYMI: Trump is trying to extort Democrats by withholding and slashing American taxpayers’ dollars that were already allocated for essential infrastructure projects.

Mob boss politics, indeed

NEWS: In any other administration, the FBI and DOJ would be investigating the Trump cabinet Signal fiasco — but Trump loyalists Pam Bondi and Kash Patel are (thus far) taking a pass (after demanding Hillary’s prosecution over emails).

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

Much attention has rightly been paid to the sheer strangeness of RFK Jr.

But as the person now in charge of our public health, what really matters - more than the theatrics or trolling - is what he is taking away from us.

What RFK Jr. Is Taking Away From You

The problem isn’t just that he’s a quack - it’s that he’s a quack with power over your health, and he’s using that power to hurt you.

Despite what his far-right American admirers believe, Orbán is not popular in his own country. A lot of his staying power is just that: inertia, which has given rise to a feeling in Hungary that he is inevitable. Yet things in Hungary have started to move.

Hungary Could Free Itself from Orbánism Next Spring

An upstart opposition leader, Péter Magyar, is shrewdly capitalizing on the prime minister’s blunders.
