Listen to Todd Blanche—Trump’s nominee for AG—tell faith leaders that the Justice Dept is working with the White House to stop the shipping of abortion pills into banned states. “We will have victory, victory will be soon, and it will be permanent,” he said.
New in PN: Moderate Democrats have a choice to make "They can spend the next three months reinforcing Republican messaging about their party & making it less likely Dems take power. Or they can put the 'battle for the soul of the party' off for a while and do what they can to help their party win."

People have asked: Isn't it a good thing for people to elect their judges? 1. Not necessarily. Republicans want to buy judges. Look at what happened in Wisconsin. Republicans spent 100 million dollars to try and win supreme court seat. They lost. But $100 million, 20 of them from Elon Musk. Bad.
Imani Gandy@angryblacklady.blacksky.app · 2d agoSo Kansas votes tomorrow on whether to elect its Supreme Court justices. In 2022, Kris Kobach said doing exactly this would let Kansas “slowly and quietly” put anti-abortion judges on the court. Now it’s on the ballot. If you know somebody in Kansas, they should know this is going on.
This is misleading. If you say the Rhine’ s “water levels drop to lowest level since 1880,” that implies that the river was this dry in 1880. But 1880 is just when we started keeping records! So what you need to say is: the river is at its lowest level since records began.

So, I find it pretty problematic that the Canada Revenue Agency is recording conversations btwn citizens & agents for the purpose of training their AI. A recorded message informs you of this prior to speaking to an agent and there is no opting out. You have to give your SIN, DOB, address etc. 🤯☠️

This should be a minimum six-year cooling off period, and across all governments. Long enough to go a full-term past the current government. Stepped down after two years, then you wait out that term, plus another term before you can be a lobbyist.

What to do about the Greg Bovinos of this administration is my number one consideration in the 2028 presidential primaries.
Minnesota Reformer@minnesotareformer.com · 2d agoOn Jan. 11, Gregory Bovino watched as his Border Patrol agents dragged a man out of his car at a St. Paul Speedway, knelt on his back until he lost consciousness, and dragged his limp body into the back of a van.

Is everyone aware of the General Motors streetcar conspiracy? In the mid-20th century, auto and oil interests bought up electric streetcar systems across the US and systematically replaced them with bus routes and paved roads, funneling commuters toward private cars.
