For almost two weeks an obvious question in this story has been: What exactly *was* the message that the Trump DOJ sent to Polis and the Colorado Department of Corrections on Nov. 12?
A bipartisan group of local Colorado election officials again made an impassioned, and at times emotional, plea to Gov. Jared Polis to promptly and publicly reject a request from President Trump’s administration to transfer Tina Peters to federal custody.

This was funny enough when it seemed like just Bari riffing in the moment and being unable to come up with two better names. The fact that it's actually something she and a team of people conceived and executed is something my brain is simply unable to process

Strategically endorsing revisionist “RotS wasn’t THAT bad?” takes like they’re ethanol subsidies for millennials
haven’t seen ROS or Solo but this seems like a pretty ball-knowing list from Pritzker, particularly if he volunteered the name “Star Wars” rather than “A New Hope”

Difficult to overstate how profound a failure DOGE was. Spending in FY2025 was not only than in FY2024 – but higher than it was projected to be when Trump first took office.*
The little bit of spending DOGE cut has already killed hundreds of thousands and will eventually lead to millions of deaths.

Bye bye, “DOGE”.

If the tone of alarm in this Clerks Association letter wasn't enough, Denver Clerk Paul López just put out a statement referring to a "potential deal" to transfer Peters. Very unclear what's going on and neither the governor's office nor DOC have provided much clarity in response to questions today.

4 senior House Dems — Hakeem Jeffries, Katherine Clark, Pete Aguilar, & Ted Lieu — voted for a Republican-led resolution to “CONDEMN SOCIALISM,” a symbolic measure that passed the chamber on Wed. The vote comes as NYC mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani is set to meet with Pres. Donald Trump at the WH today.

They're calling it the most serious plan of all time
It is not easy to build data centers here on Earth. There is not enough capacity on our energy grid to power everything. That may get worse as people demand more and more AI. So a couple companies, including Google, have now announced that they are exploring building data centers in space.

Guys like Matt Walsh have two moods, "I am the hardest toughest, manliest man that has ever existed" and "I remembered they discontinued Surge and cried for 30 minutes."

This kind of honesty is much more informative and clarifying than pretending to have strategic disagreements with progressives on how to achieve shared policy goals; I only wish the public would get the same honesty from the elite center-left circles that wholly sustain this person's work.
If there’s no shale gas then there’s no shale gas, but I still think environmentalism is basically bad and politicians should focus more on material prosperity.

Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

“she flamed out and faded away” is such funny framing for a woman publishing an excerpt of her book in vanity fair, where she also works. I wish I could flame out and fade away so successfully
Vanity Fair's West Coast Editor Olivia Nuzzi was a star political correspondent until scandal led her into exile—and to a California up in flames.
In an excerpt from her book, ‘American Canto,’ she takes stock of scorched earth.
