i am inviting anyone from a legacy media organization to explain to me why the house judiciary dems report on trump’s epstein’s ties and multiple allegations of rape isn’t worthy of extensively reporting on. i’m serious. i want to understand.

You have to really, really, really fucking suck for your 8th grade teacher to come out and shame you like this. Damn.

“Help me help the trillionaire” is definitely a choice

She’s looking out for the pedophiles in her life by attaching herself to the “daddy” (as she calls him) of all the pedos, Donald J. Trump.

ICE said Antonio Moreida jumped onto the hood of their vehicle. Now a local police investigation concludes that an ICE agent struck him with his SUV. The routine lying by ICE is the result of the example set by leadership of the Department of Homeland Security.

Metrics update:One Scaramucci equals 1.57 Zacharias. It's basically like going from miles to kiolemeters.

I quite enjoyed using Saramuccis as a term to measure a short time… can’t have anything nice 🙄

It's crunch time, the midterms are three and a half Zacharias away.

@micahloewinger.bsky.social's interview with @lilymasonphd.bsky.social on our latest show got a lot of love so we decided to put out a longer cut for our midweek pod. Enjoy!

This was a great segment (about an upsetting subject). Really enjoyed finally having @letsgomathias.bsky.social and his invaluable work on the show!!

The Trump administration is going after the H-1B visa program as anti-Indian bigotry takes hold inside the MAGA movement. @letsgomathias.bsky.social explains how right-wing activists are trying to broaden the definition of who doesn’t belong here. lnk.to/onthemedia/b...

Word on the street is that Katie Zacharia will be booted out no later than Friday evening.

Q: You said Zacharia is an attorney. Where did she pass the bar exam? What state? ZACHARIA: When I moved to China

Having a reckoning over the discipline’s obsession w/ polarization is long overdue. Here are my thoughts, which I’ve shared before. An important q is why so much of the polarization literature has been silent on the kinds of issues @lilymasonphd.bsky.social raises. substack.com/@thecolorlin...

And now we find that Russia is cultivating pneumonic plague in test tubes.

The 3-hour-and-45-minute “Musk” (plus a 10-minute intermission) hits theaters on Oct. 16, but it’s already causing a stir. The documentary paints Elon Musk as an emotionally unstable grifter with more power and influence than perhaps any other human. https://wapo.st/4ydlXzL

ACLU of Florida and legal partners sued FIU after seven students were disciplined for a silent anti‑ICE protest during a campus event with President Núñez.

Seriously!

BREAKING: The Supreme Court upheld an Alabama Congressional map that denies Black voters fair representation. This decision flies in the face of democracy and is another critical blow to our voting rights.

A message from NASA astronaut Christina Koch who has now arrived safely back to Earth: "To everyone who has been following my journey, I want to sincerely thank you for your continued support — it truly means everything. Being part of the Artemis II mission is a personal milestone...

If I were in Trump's Cabinet, I would spend Easter calling constitutional lawyers about the 25th Amendment. This is completely, utterly unhinged. He's already killed thousands. He's going to kill thousands more.

Trump's insane post will overshadow the heroic rescue of the downed pilot. US troops moved mountains to save a man, and Trump blows them off the timeline with his deranged screaming. Gold standard rake stepping.

ICE Is Criminalizing Clothing To Keep Families Apart

The case is sumbitted. The easy prediction here is 7-2, birthright citizenship stands, Trump loses. But... I don't think we have Kav as much as others. So that could be 6-3. BUT... my most radical take would be 8-1. With only Alito dissenting. That's... *a possibility*

All right, live whatevering of Trump v. Barbara, the birthright citizenship case. Arguing for the bad guys is US Solitictor General John (voice is an immutable characteristic so let's show some respect) Sauer. For the plaintiffs it's ACLU legal director Cecillia Wang.

KBJ: So ... you'd be bringing pregnant women in for depositions" (asking how the EO denying birthright citizenship would work)

What in the actual fuck!

When Trump wakes up from his nap at the Birthright Citizenship (as the young-in’s say) he is going to crash out!

What's making me happy right now is thinking of Trump sitting/sleeping there, with ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA how hard he's losing.

I think "Yeah yeah yeah but what about the Constitution" needs to be the title of ACB's next book. :)

Justice Jackson is up on Birthright Citizenship hearing. Anyone know if Trump is asleep yet?

Trump going to the Supreme Court, only to fall asleep during Oral Arguments is on point!

MERKLEY: So when the VP said 'ICE agents have absolute immunity' in violating people's civil rights, he was effectively correct? BIER: Effectively, yes. Right now as the law stands.
