Idk if “due process” is the right term to use here. Americans hadn’t heard the term until two weeks ago when the Garcia case started grabbing national headlines. “Innocent until proven guilty” is probably the better play.

I happen to know that some powerful media orgs were unhappy that AP filed suit; they thought the conflict with the White House would blow over on its own and that AP risked making bad law. The AP's leadership deserves a lot of credit for having proceeded as it did. apnews.com/article/trum...

This is fascinating: On the pod, @kedseconomist.com cites the example of a US manufacturer of board games to explain what's wrong with Trump's tariffs and why unleashing so much pain and turmoil to restore manufacturing is an incoherent goal.

Friend of mine who posts their concerns about Trump, Musk etc received this notification from FB. Definitely not a spammer. Posts ~1-2 times a day with links to news stories about exec orders, DOGE etc. Is this META limiting political dialogue or am I being paranoid? @jessemermell.bsky.social

Curious how people are watching the Red Sox now that NESN is no longer included in Xfinity’s popular TV lineup. Are you paying more to have it in your cable package? Paying to stream on NESN 360? Waiting to see if the Sox get hot? Felger has a good rant on this. @universalhub.com

Looking at some survey data here. Trump/Elon cutting off all cancer cure research is the issue that freaks voters out more than any other, also the one they've heard the least about. Important for voters to hear more about this.
