The good news is that SIX seasoned federal prosecutors in Minnesota have resigned rather than engage in a bogus 'investigation' of Renee Good and her wife rather than investigating Good's killer.

The bad news is that there are now six fewer honest, dedicated federal prosecutors with DOJ.

I understand that this is calculated to make people who should be coming around on their own argue with eachother instead; but everything REALLY would go faster if everyone would just remember that the same "annoying" people who are always right before are going to be right again.

It occurs to me that one of the reasons to hope for a sudden and unforeseen demise for Donald Trump is that he won't get the chance to pardon thousands of ICE agents.

Oh, wait ... JD Vance would do that, anyway.

Never mind. Carry on.

If there’s a better obituary for an evil cartoonist than an A.I. generated version of his character that fucks up the defining detail of its design, I can’t think of it. No notes. 👨🏻‍🍳 💋

1/ I recently wrote about Frances Perkins—FDR’s Labor Secretary and first woman cabinet member. She is best known as the architect of the New Deal but she had a lesser-known achievement:

She dismantled her era’s version of ICE.🧵

There’s a big story everyone is missing—but this article hits on it.

We aren’t just seeing public health dismantled bc we’ve been taken over by conspiracy theorists and lunatics.

What we’re really seeing is the giant, predatory, underegulated wellness industry come to Washington.

I try to maintain some emotional distance while writing, which is an analytical exercise for me.

But I wept through much of this, because the videos of Trump’s fascist assault are hard viewing.

But they also convinced me we will win. Here’s why.
