He may have pundited himself into irrelevance in the intervening decades, but "It's the economy, stupid" is still one of the most relevant predictors of elections in the USA.

May we honor our indigenous fellow Americans with appreciation, friendship, peace, and renewed commitment to the well-being and loving stewardship of Turtle Island and all who live here. 💗

If there’s evidence of fraud or other financial crimes, let’s see it. But trying to denaturalize and deport a sitting member of Congress over mistakes a parent allegedly made on immigration forms when she was a child is immoral and reprehensible. We can’t stand for it.

Look, people keep saying shit like this, and I do not know how to explain to people that "I want the Democrats to hold the GOP accountable for their crimes" is not a statement that the GOP has no agency. It is saying they have agency, they are choosing to do evil, and you have to stand up to them.

as a huge miami vice fan — both original show and Mann's 2006 film — i am a very excited for this. i do hope that these stills aren't indicative of the color palette for the film though. give me pastels and neon please!

Just thinking about this as the state harasses Ilhan Omar over 40 year old paperwork.

Reminder that HSI should be wholly abolished and none of its staff kept. Their mission is to investigate "the illegal movement of people, goods, money, contraband, weapons and sensitive technology." They're just letting that happen, too busy doing this and guarding the reflecting pool Trump ruined.

gm! at 10 I'll be live-tweeting the emergency TRO hearing in Judge Reyes's "courtroom" (this is on Zoom) in D.C. Preservation League v. Department of Interior, otherwise known as the golf course case

Judge Reyes' opening statement to the DOJ as the hearing begins: "I am thoroughly unamused right now."

He’s not the only one, but clearly billionaires only listen to other billionaires nowadays, if to anyone at all

this is basically the same “bombshell” posting they do when they call up trans health clinics pretending to seek services, are informed of what services are provided, and act like those clinics are just handing out pills & surgery to whoever

the crux of their claim was because they called a mental health facility seeking to determine if talarico was there. the receptionist thought they were checking if someone who had been admitted was *still* there &, because she didn’t find them in the system, determined whoever it was was discharged.

hahahahahahahahahaahahahah

An important bit of immigration law which is relevant here; there is already a waiver process — Section 212(k) of the INA — by which immigrants who obtain status through fraud that they didn't know about can avoid consequences like losing a green card. So this is *even weaker* than it already seems.

Well that didn't last even 24 hours.

And Putin won’t take it.

happy Columbo day to all who celebrate
