Terrific analysis from Harold Meyerson, which includes a bit of my own reporting, about the weekend's deployment of the National Guard in Los Angeles, the primary (only?) purpose of which is to incite the very riots that are otherwise not happening.

Repealing the ACA’s consumer protections & Medicaid subsidies would be bad, but it’s also true that Obamacare fortifying the power of insurance companies has been a disaster & none of the Abundance Guys who shit on the left for warning about this at the time have ever apologized.

When this video was first texted to me, I assumed it was from Iran.
The way she screams, she was wearing a hijab, and the way the law enforcement approached her—it looked no different from the way Islamic Republic authorities arrest women.
It’s from Massachusetts, of course.

Not sure how DOGE thinks DOJ lawyers are going to get to and from all the DOGE hearings if they can't pay for transportation, not to mention the ones that might need hotels, since the cases are coming all over the country.
Yes, some things can be telephonic, but some will need to be in person.
