The attorney general is threatening a state that the federal government will continuing murdering its citizens in the streets unless they provide access to state voter rolls, a lawless demand which is the subject of ongoing litigation.
Fox News: "I've gotten my hands that AG Bondi said she sent to Gov. Tim Walz. It is strongly worded. The AG calls for the governor to support the men and women of ICE, to repeal the state's sanctuary policies, and to allow the DOJ to access state voter rolls."
@preetbharara.bsky.social I am about to be a senior associate at a BigLaw firm in a corporate transactional practice. In the next administration I would like to join the DOJ and help repair its tarnished reputation. With my background, which departments do you think I could add value to #askpreet

BREAKING: Thom Tillis just announced he won’t seek re-election. That means that there will be an open North Carolina Senate seat in 2026. Let’s flip it. secure.actblue.com/donate/votse...

oh hey Iran deal
Just call it the Self-Inflicted Wound Era, when we took a bunch of stuff that was working largely fine (vaccines, weather monitoring, friendly relations with like 175 countries, cancer research, renewable energy credits, the FAA, global trade, etc etc) and just broke them for giggles

Good thing the regime that’s trying to start WW3 hasn’t just spent the last 5 months decimating US soft power abroad, diverting most domestic counterterrorism assets to abducting people en masse, and compiling/analysing data on all its citizens to potentially target opposition with a military draft.

This was always clearly the objective and many in the media also insisted on treating anyone who said so clearly like they were some kind of lunatic bsky.app/profile/carn...
The Overton Window has shifted all the way to ban all non-white people from coming to America. It was never about illegal immigration.
WTF did I just watch. The DNI is just propagandist now.
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard posted a bizarre video about nuclear bombs on X this morning. She says we are “closer to the brink of nuclear annihilation than ever before…” (Breaking the video into a 2 part 🧵 bc of video post limits, but watch to the end..it gets weird.) Part 1:

Oh shit. I am agreeing with Rand Paul on something. Pigs are flying
Rand Paul: "The whole [tariffs] debate is so fundamentally backwards & upside down. It's based on a fallacy & the fallacy is this: that somehow in a trade, someone must lose. That somehow when you trade with someone, someone is taking advantage of you... I have a trade deficit with my grocery store"
Not nearly on the scale of other things. But friends of mine were very concerned about the Twitter files. mashable.com/article/elon...

You can read Cohen's full statement here: www.linkedin.com/posts/rachel...
It is very funny that all of the people who say they “do their own research” clearly don’t, and just regurgitate the conspiracy that agrees with their already held beliefs. Countless examples on Xitter of MAGA influencers saying “there are too many pages, someone tell me what to think”
A big part of the problem is stupid people have been convinced by rich people that AI is God, when AI is closer to an automatic dog food dispenser.

@anneapplebaum.bsky.social Is this good? I don’t know much about Polish politics - but hoping for some good news in the EU as I plot a way to move there.
Poland, IPSOS poll: Presidential run-off election Trzaskowski (PO-EPP): 57% (+2) Nawrocki (PiS-ECR): 43% (-2) +/- vs. 17-18 February 2025 Fieldwork: 11-13 March 2025 Sample size: 617 ➤ europeelects.eu/poland
@schumer.senate.gov literally just say this
If every Senate Democrat said, "we won't let Musk and Trump do what they're doing to famers, to social security, to cancer research and to every American's health without a hell of a fight" and just repeated that, they'd be shocked by how much of America would be on their side.
The art of the deal, or so o have been told time and time again by very serious people.
Russia rejected the ceasefire? No this can’t be. I was assured that Zelensky was the one who caused all of this and was the aggressor getting in the way of peace. Cutting off military aid and screaming at him in the White House was all pointless? No. I can’t believe it.

@mcuban.bsky.social the richest man and his VC buddies are canceling cancer research and using the “savings” to buy cryptocurrency. Why can’t the democrats message this?
