BREAKING: The New Mexico Department of Justice has sued Acting AG Todd Blanche and the DOJ, requesting the court for access to unredacted Epstein-related investigative files that the DOJ has been withholding.
If you show up to Bluesky without following anyone, you'll be treated to a series of posts about art, music, and dogs. If you show up to X without following anyone, you'll be bombarded with right-wing conspiracies and white supremacist slop. It's weird which one is seen as a "political bubble"
Todd Blanche made more promises during a private call that a faith group inexplicably uploaded to YouTube. Expect to see this story cited in lawsuits against the FDA when it ends telemedicine of mifepristone for no reason other than pills by mail make anti-abortion groups very mad

Gosh! Can you explain how tax subsidies to billionaires work? What is my part of that credit to use?
I’ll share it, because I think this rampant anti-Muslim and anti-Arab bigotry is not only accepted by a dying wing of our party but being used to win primaries (see Abdul). It’s on us to see it, shun it, and protect our coalition.
Alex Ip 葉清霖@alexip718.com · 4w agoWhat Rachel Bitecofer is doing to Georgia Rep. Ruwa Romman on X is Islamophobic, racist, and disgusting. I will not share it here to spare your day, but no serious candidate should retain her services moving forward
It’s important to understand that when 1.2 million Americans are dying from a disease, any government action is excessive and tyrannical, but if a dozen trans women want to play soccer no government action can go far enough
Still can’t over the fact that the president of the United States just told an entire state to pound sand after getting cyberattacked by a foreign adversary because they didn’t vote for him and it was treated like a Tuesday lol
The Trump family said they were “debanked” for political reasons after Jan. 6—and used that to justify going hard into crypto. Turns out Capital One flagged them for money laundering. And then Blanche wrote the memo shielding the Trump family from IRS audits? Hm.

It’s pretty jarring we’ve just come to expect that the feds will lie to us and publicize false information and that there is virtually no consequence for it.
CNN@cnn.com · 5d agoThe Justice Department is admitting that a $14 million renovation on the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool in Washington, DC, was flawed, and is dropping the criminal case against a former Olympian that accused him of damaging the pool, according to a new court filing. https://cnn.it/3RJJnwj
The top of the US govt abusing power with even trivial things *is* the story. Federal law enforcement warped around lies and assuaging one man’s hurt feelings. The cynical, above-it-all attitude of doesn’t matter, stop being hysterical, why not humor him for a bit is part of why we’re in this mess.
Ron Filipkowski@ronfilipkowski.bsky.social · 5d agoSo many sneering elitist journalists with snarky posts over the past months that the Reflecting Pool story was trivial. It was so trivial that the DC US Attny presented false evidence to a grand jury to indict an innocent man to please the President while they both lied about it.

Where is this phrase "The fact that the President of the USA would brazenly lie about this to the point of compelling the DOJ to bring false charges against a US citizen is unconscionable and casts doubt on everything he says"
Can someone explain how Axios could publish this and not note that DOJ has lost 18 of these cases and not won a single one? 0-18 is smart brevity.
What an interesting choice of phrases. The U.S. economy certainly *was* the “envy of the world,” though it’s not anymore. The Economist ran this cover in October 2024 — a month before Trump won a second term, as Biden's presidency neared its end.

I have been called an alarmist and worse by well meaning people who want to think it will just all be ok. The truth is it doesn't always end up ok and we can't pretend it will. Donald Trump is targeting Black voters and women to rig this election. We need to stand up, call it out and take action.

It's noteworthy that the sticking point in getting Todd Blanche confirmed as AG involves financial corruption rather than Blanche refusing to release files about the sex trafficking of children by Trump's former friend. To Republicans, money is always more important than the welfare of children.
I dunno but it should probably be a bigger deal that the White House announced it wants to slap a 100% tariff on drug imports at the same time it is eliminating Medicare drug subsidies. And we’re talking about critical life-saving drugs like insulin, blood thinners, antibiotics, and heart meds.
If the entire Democratic Party is being asked by the press and pundits about a few DSA candidates in NYC, it seems like the entire Republican Party should be asked about their colleague who has been credibly accused -- by another colleague's daughter -- of repeated acts of violence.
