"These aren't the sort of people we're supposed to be arresting," they say about the white Brits without criminal records, as opposed to the Brown Latinos without criminal records that they ARE supposed to be arresting.

And yet we are supposed to pretend as though these judges are apolitical once they are confirmed.....
Claremont alum Josh Hammer is Sr. Counsel at A3P, which advises Trump on judicial nominees. In 2024, Hammer blasted the vetting of past nominees & advised looking into the “private life” of future picks. “If you go to a church or synagogue that’s flying a rainbow flag, you cannot be promoted.” 1/

Everything wrong with political journalism in one graf. This is not a policy proposal that exists but that doesn’t matter, what matters is that someone “won” by asking it bsky.app/profile/larr...
What a strange framing and characterization. How does one describe his blatantly dishonest, racist question about taxes as “press[ing] the Mayor-elect on his policy proposals”? In what way does this lying troll emerge as a “winner“?

It’s blowing my mind that schools, universities, public services would run headlong into this. We spent 15 years documenting black boxes. This is a black box in a black hole!
I don't understand how anyone can watch how blatantly Grok is manipulated to answer the way ownership desires it to and then act like the other LLM chatbots couldn't possibly be similarly but less obviously compromised to produce responses in whatever way corporate interests and priorities dictate.

"Trump is a fucking idiot who gets rolled by anyone who's nice to him" theory remains undefeated, putting someone like Mamdani in there is like having Randy Johnson sub in for a 5th grade Little League game
Q: Stefanik has called Mamdani a 'jihadist.' Do you think you're standing next to a jihadist right now?
TRUMP: No, I don't. I met with a man who's a very rational person
TRUMP: No, I don't. I met with a man who's a very rational person

Trump in a room with a very charismatic person results in like half a day of Trump agreeing with everything that person said, so this has the potential to be very, very funny.

This nurse from Maryland was on one of the recent flights to Ghana transferring third country nationals— under a still undisclosed agreement with the U.S.
Certainly, she is not “worst of the worst.” Certainly her treatment in Ghana does not reflect solidarity and concern with fellow West Africans.

Absolutely incredible; after shooting Marimar Martinez 5 times and arresting her on claims that she rammed them and pulled a gun, prosecutors have now moved to dismiss ALL criminal charges against her and her codefendant.
New: the govt has moved to dismiss its assault case against Marimar Martinez and Anthony Ian Santos Ruiz, two people accused of "box[ing] in" a Border Patrol vehicle in Chicago on Oct. 4.
One agent shot Martinez, with evidence presented to the court that he later bragged about in text messages.

It's so obvious that when people say they didn't want Kamala to run on identity politics, they really mean, "She shouldn't have been a Black woman."
Guys I am not saying her campaign was good. I am saying that it was focused on economic issues rather than identity politics and I am correct.
Name one policy that she held on that topic that people would've showed up for. Tax credits don't count.

The value of reading history is you know that in 1860 there were abolitionists who were so demoralized that they thought chattel slavery would be permanent. 5 years later those still alive had lived to see its end.
