When Balint’s time expired, and the out lawmaker yielded back, Bondi asked for a moment to respond, and used it to go on the offensive: “You didn’t ask Merrick Garland anything about Epstein,” she said. Balint shot back: “Weak sauce.”

The point is that [the global authoritarian movement] will exist no matter what happens to Trump. They command vast economic resources; they run the governments in many countries where the government never changes; they have deep tentacles into the U.S. political system and many of its key players are from the U.S. Trump didn’t create this movement precisely. But his role in global politics over the last decade solidified it as a self-conscious group and congealed it together. Any movement of civic democratic revival in the U.S. will be menaced by its continued existence. Now is the time to think about how a revived and revitalized civic democratic movement in the U.S. could combat it and avoid being destroyed by it.

The killing of Renee Nicole Good and Alex Pretti by federal agents in Minneapolis last month seemed to mark a breaking point for the United States on immigration enforcement. But rather than lowering tensions, the government appears intent on cranking the temperature up. President Donald Trump framed Good’s killing as the price of being “disrespectful of law enforcement” and described Pretti as an “agitator” and “insurrectionist.” White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller described Pretti as a “domestic terrorist” and “would-be assassin” (claims Vice President Vance amplified) while labeling broader protests as an “insurgency.”

James Van Der Beek, the actor who endeared himself to a generation of television viewers as the star of the drama series “Dawson’s Creek,” died Wednesday.

It disgusts and angers me that people in Palestine are fearing for their lives and aren’t free to move throughout their country or even feel safe in their own homes. Yet ultra privileged pieces of shit who probably never had to live with anywhere near such fear in their lives not only justify their suffering. They argue against those fighting to end it. And they argue for respectability politics when they are being inherently disrespectful to the people suffering right now.

Congressional Democratic leaders are asking ICE to agree to reforms, promising to vote for $11 billion in funding for the agency if it does so. ICE has every reason to concede to the demands — then ignore them once the funding bill passes.
