Wow! @menendez.house.gov says that the EXACT scenario I flagged two months ago, where ICE "releases" someone having a medical emergency solely so their death won't be recorded as occurring while in custody, happened last month at the infamous Delaney Hall detention center in Newark, NJ.
Matt Shuham@mattshuham.bsky.social · 18h agoDays before the death of Edwin Jeovanny Lopez Cornejo, ICE officials did not report the death of another man who’d been detained at Delaney Hall — because they had technically “released” him in the middle of a medical emergency, Rep. Rob Menendez (D-NJ) alleged. www.huffpost.com/entry/delane...
Stacey Young joins @mollyjongfast.bsky.social to break down how Blanche’s blind loyalty has corrupted his leadership of DOJ — and why the rule of law cannot survive if the institution charged with enforcing serves the President over the American people. Listen here: www.iheart.com/podcast/1119...

El-Sayed on Rogers: "What he's missing is that politics has changed since 2000 when he got in office. Now, it's not enough to just get $70m & run 30 second ads. You actually have to stand for something, & this is a guy who doesn't want to explain why he's backing Trump on the most ridiculous war..."

I'm legit curious how this all plays out. If corporate insurance policies are anything like civilian ones (are they?) they might not cover this (acts of war exclusion imagine). Does Trump corruptly pay Bezos back out of the treasury in exchange for his support? Do the companies just eat it?

A new @abdulelsayed.bsky.social ad out from Senate Majority PAC — stark contrast to the Mike Rogers fearmongering that has already started
NEW: A dozen attorneys who prosecuted Jan. 6 rioters asked the Senate to stop confirming Trump's election-denying judicial nominees to lifetime seats, especially as they refuse to accept the legal facts of the event. None of the nearly 60 confirmed nominees have called Jan. 6 an "insurrection."

I said this a bit ago…AIPAC didn’t care about Haley Stevens nor do they care about our Democracy - they will now turn their funds toward supporting the Republican Mike Rogers - just like I said they would. It was always about Israel & never about the US #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy
In a country as large and diverse as ours, Democrats and Republicans should be broad coalitions that reflect regional differences—not ideological movements demanding conformity. Our democracy will be stronger for it.

More unsound attacks on journalists covering the Fed. Powell got it right: "The Fed’s work is only as effective as the public’s understanding of it, and you, the press, are essential to keeping the public informed about what we do and why. The people we serve benefit from your careful reporting.”
