"In other words, the toll from USAID cuts by 2030 seems to be *at best* around two-thirds of a million people; that’s about as many people as were killed during the Civil War. At worst, Musk is tied to the deaths of millions."

Man, I fucking love popehat. That dude explains first amendment issues better than anyone, and when I'm trying to write like someone, it's him. Brilliant man and a good dude.

[The Notorious S.E.B. @bigseb31213]

the prarieland ICE sentences are absolutely insane, I don't think people are aware of how extreme they are. The idiot who shot a cop was going away for a long time (hey dumbass, maybe don't go to your "peaceful noise protest" armed) but other members got 50 years for a firework

Oof

We've been running an unprecedented natural experiment running for a decade and half. 30 states have raised their minimum wages. 20 have not.

What happened to pay? What happened to jobs? The good news is that it's pretty easy to figure out now.

Link next post.

this is the foundational belief of the modern right

"yeah i was wrong but doesn't that kinda make me right?"

@alison_renner In cheer, we were discouraged from eating anything from tailgates when we walked around pregame in case it appeared like an impermissible benefit.

has any man ever been more vindicated?

The logic here is just so laughable. All of this was literally litigated in Allan V Milligan!!!! And the supreme court just said “just kidding we’re overturning ourselves!” They once again prove they have 0 legitimacy.

[Ben Norton @BenjaminNorton]

The world's richest centi-billionaire oligarch used his power to change the rules, so he could dump his garbage company (which is cartoonishly overvalued, unprofitable, and incinerating cash) on retail investors, using trillions of dollars in retirement funds as exit liquidity, all in order to become the first trillionaire.

This is the perfect metaphor for the US economy as a whole, which is entirely based on bubbles and scams.

DHS: “Everything is fine at Delaney Hall, ICE is treating everyone perfectly, there are no hunger strikes, ignore all the members of Congress who’ve been inside and said otherwise. What’s that? No, you cannot send health inspectors here, absolutely not. Trust us. We never lie!”

[Amanda Fischer @amandalfischer]

This is massive, scandalous news

Just days after @nytimes investigation on CFTC corruption, the Chair moves to exhume a past settlement w/the Winkelvoss twins’ exchange, move to toss it out, & discredit the career civil servants whose case was approved by past CFTC leadership

[Kit, Esq. @kit_sionn_witch]

as many of my clients are shocked to find out, yes, someone calling the police and just saying you did something can be enough for the police to arrest you and a court to charge you and detain you w/o bail or on a bail you can't afford to pay. i've seen abusers weaponize this.

[g. @GeauxGabrielle]

VOLUNTEERS?! This is the job of the Epidemic Intelligence Service (EIS), which was a WORLD CLASS team of epidemiologists that handled this.

And RFK Jr. fired every single one of them. Pay me $75,000 like you did them and I’ll go do it.

[Ryan Grim @ryangrim]

This is a radical change to immigration policy, forcing anyone applying for a green card to leave the country indefinitely, forget whether they have American kids, spouse, etc.

The talking point that we do want legal immigration, we just want people to get in line and follow the rules, is BS. This is an attempt to blow up the line, blow up the rules, and make it insanely difficult to immigrate legally.

[Matthew Segal @segalmr]

CLIENT: These federal charges seem serious. What kind of sentence could I get?

LAWYER: Depending on the next presidential election, you're looking at somewhere between life imprisonment and becoming a millionaire.

The U.S. Refugee Admissions Program, a crown jewel of the United States humanitarian mission, has become a special immigration program for white South Africans.

[gene belcher, public defender @AbolitionEsq]

It’s very funny to me that the movement that counts among its ranks James O’Keefe and conspicuously files every conceivable lawsuit challenging existing law in a single TX district so they can get the rubber stamp treatment is currently decrying test cases & strategic litigation.

[scary lawyerguy @scarylawyerguy]

In addition to this abomination, any reporters going to do any, you know, REPORTING on whether this "settlement" also includes an agreement from the IRS to not audit Trump, his kids, or their businesses? SEEMS RELEVANT! 🙃

[Aaron Reichlin-Melnick @ReichlinMelnick]

This is a THEFT far worse than Watergate. There is no other word for it. They are stealing $1.78 BILLION dollars to pay Trump‘s allies, despite knowing that these people are not legally entitled to any money and be laughed out of court if they filed a lawsuit for money damages.
