New w @pamherd.bsky.social: Trump's Bribe State is a mix of empty promises and real benefits. But watch how automation is used: to buy votes, or allow billionaires to buy off dissent via Trump accounts, even as Trump has made automation harder for Mediciad. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/automating...

60 Minutes: "It's a kind of interference Utah Lt. Gov...a Republican in a deeply red state, said she's never seen before. 'In the past two elections that I oversaw as lieutenant governor, the threats were all external...But now we also have threats coming from within our own government.' she said."

Does arresting the wife of an enlisted man and mother of four US citizen children, a person who’s been here since she was 6 years old, make our country great again?
NEW: ICE is trying to deport a mother of 4 while her husband is at Fort Benning in Army basic training. When she went to pick up the family's military IDs, Navy personnel turned her over to ICE. She's been in the US since age six. With @nancyayoussef.bsky.social www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

This is so clearly the case that it’s incredible that there is any debate at all.
If Putin stops fighting, the war ends. If Zelensky stops fighting then his country will be occupied, leaders murdered, language banned, businesses stolen, children kidnapped. That's what happens in Russian-occupied Ukraine.

The federal government tried to turn our public servants into deportation agents and force New York City to carry out ICE’s cruel agenda. Today, a federal court rejected that effort and upheld our laws. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

Worth reposting after the Guilfoyle debacle, and the US has never given priority to its ambassadorships, but this is pretty gross. And we know what some of the others are like, too…
President Trump relies on wealthy donors and political loyalists rather than career diplomats to fill ambassadorships, a Post analysis found. In each administration since President Ford’s, over half of all ambassadorships went to Foreign Service officers. https://wapo.st/4fTgtlr

When is a dictator most dangerous? When he sees his political magic wearing off. So be optimistic about the midterms, but take nothing for granted. Vote, vote, vote. Pay for truth-telling media. Support voting rights groups. And get set to resist if Trump tries another coup. My latest newsletter.

We discuss why the diesel deal would legally implicate the U.S. in supporting Russia's aggression in Ukraine. We also draw from USG statements on how oil purchases support Russia's war machine. Statements by the U.S. intelligence community, Secretary Rubio and more.

When Ukraine destroys Russian data centers, hoards of aggressive right-wing bots disappear & the internet becomes friendlier. So much of politics is driven by the internet & so much of the internet is driven by Russians who want to hurt us. Shouldn’t we do something about that, given that we know it

Oh wow.
🚨 WOW: WSJ reports Ken Paxton partied in a luxury Dubai high-rise with 2 FUGITIVES, Anosh Ahmed and Sameer Suhail, facing fed charges over an alleged $15 MILLION hospital embezzlement scheme — alongside his gf (not his wife). Ahmed donated $190K to Paxton, including $25K AFTER his indictment.

The Ukrainians are brilliant. They are screwing Trump and his regime while boosting truth and transparency for the mid-term elections.
If you need a pickmeup, Ukraine struck and destroyed a Russian data center last night, reducing Russian bot traffic by 50%, dropping online pro-AfD discussion to zero, cratering MAGA traffic, and making Elon big mad. Just in time for the mid-terms. Slava fucking Ukraini.

We went from sanctioning Russian oil to buying it in three weeks. Instead of ending his disastrous war in Iran, Trump is now funding Russia's war in Ukraine. We used to hold dictators and autocrats accountable. Now our president negotiated a deal to fund Putin's unjust war.
