It turns out the great egg price increase that helped topple Joe Biden's presidency was <checks notes> due to an alleged conspiracy among egg producers to artificially increase prices and the coverage of that fact is a blink-and-you-miss-it story on the NYT website 🙃

Temporary Protected Status is exactly what it says it is: temporary protection for people who fled violence, instability, and danger. In Florida, our large Haitian community plays a major role in our economy, our communities, and our cultural vibrancy. To send Haitians or Syrians back to the violent conditions they fled would be cruel, dangerous, and deeply wrong. This kind of brutality, done in our name, is unconscionable and a contradiction of the American way.

This regime acts like Nazis with such frequency—explicitly deporting whole categories of people based on race, explicitly *importing* whole categories of people based on race, reframing our founding principles as devoutly fascist—that it's no wonder they squeal when called Nazis.

I'm not running for office. But if I were, these are some of the lessons I'd take away from what happened in NY yesterday. 1. Authenticity is measurable. Voters can smell a focus group from a mile away. 2. Endorsements from the current Democratic leadership now read like warnings. The establishment wing of the party is no longer a sword. It's a question mark. 3. Conviction beats caution. The candidates who said hard things about rent, about who pays for what, about Gaza, they won. The triangulators lost. 4. Cost of living is everything. Everything else is wallpaper. 5. The middle is not a strategy. It's an empty room. Voters reached past the establishment to grab someone who actually believes something. 6. Don't fear the base. Court it. The Democrats who ran from their own voters lost. The ones who ran toward them won. 7. If you want to lead a party you have to be willing to fight inside it. Mamdani didn't ask permission. He took the field. The lesson under the lessons: the country is tired of being managed. People want to be led.

Whoever did this. Just know that I love you.

2 weeks ago, Judge Cooper gave Trump 14 days to remove his name from Kennedy Center. Last night, hours before expiration, Trump moved for a stay. Argues that Congress didn't forbid "secondary names," the way Dept of War is also "known by secondary names." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…

The Trump-appointed judge ordered the immediate release of an ICE detainee "because the Government has shown that it cannot follow this court's explicit directions." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…

It is shameful for my Republican colleagues to launch an anti-Muslim caucus. They are pushing discriminatory legislation and sowing hateful misinformation about Muslim Americans. Speaker Johnson must condemn this bigotry and commit to standing up for religious freedom for all.

JUST IN: Judge Mary McElroy (Trump/RI) refers DOJ attorneys to the court discipline committee over handling of fight over trans medical care subpoenas to RI Hospital. Earlier she agreed that presumption of regularity for govt 'no longer holds.' storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…

Today, we released an inspection report of U.S. Penitentiary Canaan. We found serious issues related to the use of restraints, restrictions on movement, inmate healthcare, safety and security, and employee professionalism. oig.justice.gov/reports/inspec…

BREAKING: Second ICE agent criminally charged in Minnesota. Christian Castro has been charged with assault after shooting a Venezuelan immigrant in January. Minnesota prosecutors are going after ICE agents.

ICE let us walk through the doors of the Otay Mesa Detention Center on Monday. Then they handed us a memo telling us we were not allowed to talk to anyone held inside. The memo, signed that same day by the Acting ICE Director, says members of Congress must now identify detainees by name and obtain signed consent two days in advance before speaking with a single one of them. Federal law gives us clear authority to inspect these facilities at will. We already had to sue in federal court just to get in the door. Now there is a new barrier, invented this week, to make sure we never hear from the people actually being detained. If everyone inside is being treated lawfully and with humanity, what exactly is the administration trying to hide?

Brilliant and essential. Everyone should read @helenlewis's new cover story, out today: theatlantic.com/magazine/2026/…

The first sentence alone should be enough to disgust and embarrass any American. 1/3

It's a bit buried in legalese but this request essentially suggests Justice Alito lied yesterday when he said the Robinson appellants had not shown an interest in requesting a rehearing.

So the Southern Poverty Law Center has informants deep inside neo-Nazi organizations reporting on their violent and hateful activities, and Trump’s DOJ is indicting them for that? Are you fucking kidding me? These people are evil.

I’ve spent my entire career in national security. Something extremely serious is happening. The White House and Congress need to put politics aside — and investigate these deaths & disappearances aggressively.
