To distract myself from The Horrors I've been reading and just finished @peterclines.bsky.social newest book God's Junk Drawer. It was great! Truly the perfect meshing of all my favorite childhood genres into a really great book. 10/10. Next up, The Country Under Heaven, Lovecraft meets cowboys 🤠🦑

My NSPM-7 coverage has for weeks been met with smug assurances that there's no law for domestic terrorism. Well, the Trump admin just designated Antifa groups as Foreign Terror Orgs - for which there is a law:

I realize there’s a lot of news happening right now, but it’s still wild to me that Meta is making billions of dollars on scam ads and ads for banned goods and no one is holding them accountable
This week's newsletter is all about the billions of dollars Meta makes on scammy ads and ads for real but terrible products. It's also about how the tech industry thinks we're all dumb and they're entitled to our money, on top of everything else they get.

If you seriously think the reason it's so expensive to BUY a home is because of illegal immigrants, you are either (a) insanely stupid or (b) knowingly gaslighting people for political points.
You have to sign 5 million pieces of paper to buy a home. Do they think illegals are openly doing that?

JD Vance: "A lot of young people are saying housing is way too expensive. Why is that? Because we flooded the country with 30 million illegal immigrants who were taking houses that ought by right go to American citizens."

Did DoorDash deliver the “inflation tamed” report themselves or was it just something the admin typed out in the Apple notes app?
NEW — I spoke to DoorDash about the White House claiming the company's report shows "inflation has been tamed" and whether that's an interpretation one should make. An economist also weighed in, pointing out dictatorships use data obfuscation as a tool, and right now they're "grasping at straws."
WH claims 'inflation tamed,' per DoorDash stats. Company says that's not in its report.
It comes the same week we learned the WH would likely not release key economic reports for October.

in Trump 1.0, the Times was the center of the “resistance” - often fueling with the Post for what felt like daily scoops
in Trump 2.0, the paper’s disinterest in actual adversarial reporting is noticeable and people are mad

I think there are a number of people employed at the New York Times -- certainly not all of them, but many! -- who simply do not grasp how badly the paper's credibility has been shaken over the past few years, along several different axes, and for multiple different reasons

I feel like since chuck probably orchestrated the entire folding so it was (in his head) the perfect amount of cover for the party as a whole then he should recognize the good politics of him resigning and how that would be good for the party as a whole too.
UPDATE — With Rep. Pramila Jayapal (Chair Emerita of the Congressional Progressive Caucus), there are now at least 12 congressional Democrats, 15 Democratic-aligned organizations, and 8 Democratic candidates calling for Chuck Schumer to resign as leader:

Hats off to the Supreme Court everyone. Still managing to surprise me with their morally bankrupt decisions even after all this time.
The Supreme Court won't halt Tremane Wood's execution. Only KBJ notes her dissent.
Prosecutors struck most Black jurors then lied at trial, concealing secret deals with witnesses. Wood's lawyer was on cocaine and barely met with him. His brother admitted to the killing but only got life in prison.

One of the GOP's sweatier Epstein defenses has been "if they had good stuff they'd have used it when Biden was president." But the growing awareness that Garland spiked anything that could look political explains this!
