Stephen Miller says they are “actively looking at” suspending the writ of habeas corpus, which is only allowed when the US has been invaded or during an insurrection, which would not allow people to challenge their incarceration in court if they are arrested and detained.
This man is a Nazi and that needs to be repeated again and again until we stop hearing his voice on TV.
Literally five minutes apart.
He really is that dumb. That is the whole answer.
“When it comes to .. raw milk, I want to be free to form a relationship with a local farmer, look him in the eyes, pet his cow, and then decide if I feel safe to drink the milk from his farm.”

Trump Picks a ‘MAHA’ Movement Leader for Surgeon General
The president said he would nominate Dr. Casey Means, a California doctor and wellness influencer, to be the next surgeon general.
Even the nicest farms-- the barns are still full of shit. All kinds of shit. You want uncooked shit in your milk, cool- I've milked a cow and I want that milk cooked.

This is exactly it. Asking a person to do an assignment that is a meaningless, rote task is already a dehumanizing ritual. Getting an AI-generated response in return is just giving the institution the same indignity it has visited upon the student.
If a degree is just a piece of paper you need to get a desirable, good-paying job, someone invents a machine that can do it for you, and the notion that you might go to college to develop your mind for its own, non-remunerative sake is a punch line and an elite privilege, why not use the machine?
Writing an essay is not a "meaningless, rote task"! These assignments weren't asking for an alphabetized list of state capitols. They were asking people to organize their thoughts, speak to their personal experience and present their point of view. People need practice at wrestling with this stuff.
I think this underscores the issue with the entire premise of making everyone get a degree just to do well in life: most people are not scholars. Not even wannabe scholars. They do not and have never seen a degree as more than a paper for a bigger paycheque and you can’t make them.
“Massive numbers of students are going to emerge from university with degrees, and into the workforce, who are essentially illiterate…Both in the literal sense and in the sense of being historically illiterate and having no knowledge of their own culture, much less anyone else’s.”
Everyone Is Cheating Their Way Through College
ChatGPT has unraveled the entire academic project.
No. Education isn't all about creating "scholars"-- grad school maybe but not most undergrad. It's about building thinking reasoning skills. Exposure to new ideas and information. If you've never been challenged to think deeply about anything-- that's bad whether you are a plumber or a priest.

Some of that job loss isn't from "globalization" though but mechanization-- more productive technology in factories. This is a terrible analogy because doctors haven't been replaced by more productive machines (yet).
Conservatives seem to want more teen moms. In the ongoing lawsuit over the abortion drug mifepristone, three Republican AGs wrote that abortion pills “depress[ed] expected birthrates for teenaged mothers in Plaintiff States”
www.jezebel.com/notorious-te...Today, President Trump proposed eliminating the Teen Pregnancy Prevention program entirely.
Medical experts in and out of government have credited the program for contributing to a 78 percent drop in teen births over the past few decades.

They want to be able to steal those babies for their own. Teen moms are vulnerable and they like that because they can take advantage of that vulnerability.

Jeffries Wants Dems to Put an End to the El Salvador Trips

BREAKING: The Supreme Court has blocked the Trump administration from deporting foreign nationals under the Alien Enemies Act. Thomas, Alito dissent.
Of course Thomas and Alito dissented. They aren’t lawyers- they are just piles of spite in bags of skin.
🧵 THREAD: A federal whistleblower just dropped one of the most disturbing cybersecurity disclosures I’ve ever read.
He's saying DOGE came in, data went out, and Russians started attempting logins with new valid DOGE passwords
Media's coverage wasn't detailed enough so I dug into his testimony:
But this also seems insanely obvious at the same time. Of course they were giving Russia access to our data. Why wouldn’t they? They’ve gotten away with doing whatever they want so far

There's going to be an iphone sale in a few months I guess.
I was told these people were “free speech absolutists”
Seriously? Because we were told they were going to deport violent criminals.
Needs to be said 10 times a day every day. This was literally their number one complaint for at least a decade.
🧵 There are a lot of misleading claims out there about the SAVE Act. Let me set the record straight: I voted for the SAVE Act for the simple reason that American elections are for Americans. Requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote is common sense.
This is ridiculous. Is there any evidence of non-citizens voting?
First came the market manipulation. Now come the bribes.
This is obviously where this has been heading. The only thing that man cares about is people kissing his butt. To engineer the entire economy based on that was always the plan. They want a favor economy. A who do you know economy. They hate DEI because it was never about merit or efficiency.
Yesterday, 1,400 protests were held to protest the Trump whose headlines fill this page. But to the
#BrokenTimes this morning, they are a buried BTW. It has plenty of photos; none here. This is what they call "news judgment." To the Times, we are not news.
They did the same thing to the Iraq war protests, and the Black Lives Matter protests and etc etc. the Times is a paper by trust fundies for trust fundies they only care about dinner party rants.

No journalist can ever write one of those ridiculous pieces that blames woman for not wanting to date Trump voters again-As if it's women that are being close-minded and irrational. When really it's clear that women are just seeing these men for who they are-- selfish, childish, and unable to love.
The embodiment of Democratic Party resistance. “They’re throwing out the Constitution. I’m not sure how I’ll vote on it.”
www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...Um... They're throwing out the constitution. What do you do about it? EASY !!! DON'T COOPERATE!!!!! there is zero need for equivocation here.
There is no question about how to NOT COOPERATE with the shift to authoritarianism... just DO NOT COOPERATE. RESIST. Make nothing easy. Fight back.

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave.
Tell them:
1. Vote NO on Cloture
AND
2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill.
Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it.
TODAY is the showdown.

i think this is basically what has happened a big chunk of the american pundit class
One of my best friends is from a sleepy, wealthy small town in the south-west of Germany. He said, so many of my parents’ neighbours are rich and bored, with little to complain about, and they’ve radicalised themselves at dinner parties and online. In their aimlessness, they’ve bonded over hate.
sadly yes. This should be shouted from the rooftops. It's people who are rich and bored and somehow don't have enough to think about.

A paper that publishes this is a paper that any reasonable person should stop subscribing to. How long will it take for people to get it--
@nytimes.com isn't being neutral but supporting all this bigoted, nihilistic stuff.
A remarkable detail in the WaPo's write-up of the Trump DOJ's ghastly efforts to bully both their own prosecutors and the Mayor of New York City.
www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...Yes. They all should have resigned on the spot.
NEW — In an alarming email last night reviewed by me, Coast Guard members learned that 1,135 members' direct deposit account routing information was compromised due to a data breach from unauthorized access.
It was only discovered because an officer “reported anomalous activity” on their account.
I mean I guess anyone who has their direct deposit info at the Treasury is possibly exposed. Things are really really bad.
The lead prosecutor on the Adams investigation - Hagan Scotten - resigns from SDNY.

I'm glad some people are attempting at doing their jobs here but the news in general is not new: Republicans are cowards.

Thanks for the recaps.
Elon Musk, the world's richest man, is securing real beneifits as he helps Trump disrupt the federal government. Just how? The NYT takes a deep look today at these benefits: federal investigations targeting Musk companies that have been disrupted or now may die.

Elon Musk’s Business Empire Scores Benefits Under Trump Shake-Up (Gift Article)
Government investigations into Mr. Musk’s companies are stalling amid President Trump’s firings and Biden administration resignations.
Duh. Like obviously!!!!! The man spent hundreds of millions on the election. This would have been helpful to publish them. Now what? Those agencies are being gutted You helped this happen. You aided in this outcome by not taking this seriously six months ago.

honestly think some of the hesitation here is that no one wants to sound like a crank. i was talking at an event last night and even i felt like a crank while i was speaking!
What if there were a coup, the US government fell to a drug-addled oligarch who seized control of our money, secrets, and levers of power, and Corporate media did not report on it?
But you are not a crank and this IS A COUP.

Exactly.
Just spitballing, but things that could happen today:

*Dems demand hearings on Musk's role
*Someone introduce articles of impeachment
*Dem officeholders go to USAID offices with USAID workers
*Refuse to conduct any more Senate confirmations until this is resolved

The message should be to the media, to your constituents-- to create a narrative and fight for policy. Not try to reach people with watered down drivel who sat out the last election.
