I recently (and very belatedly) finished Jean Guerrero's Hatemonger, abt Stephen Miller. One thing she described which I can't shake is that the Wall was only a mnemonic Bannon developed to get Trump to repeat stuff. But Miller chased that religiously. www.pbs.org/video/jean-g...

I just realized that DOJ did not comply with this part of Judge Kollar-Kotelly's order in the Dan Richman bid to get his files back. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us... https://oyster.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:bbp2b224lro3bfnzcqwwnkfo&cid=bafkreibcjmaeykokjp2izwzqfb6pcxfpg4lmjepfous6z2lbjaca23kewm
The way Trump talks about the problems he caused by unilaterally imposing tariffs is fairly insane, even by his standards. www.politico.com/news/2025/12... https://oyster.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:bbp2b224lro3bfnzcqwwnkfo&cid=bafkreihv3wtpprqcrqc6xpuadzore7ixbw3r4svpgp7tcil4w6y27eklre
How many other white people has Trump called low IQ? Usually he reserves it for women of color. www.politico.com/news/2025/12... https://oyster.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:bbp2b224lro3bfnzcqwwnkfo&cid=bafkreiehgcysnsku3emrtdeofgwbxbw5urnslxuxi4wzj7nyswtegpsphu
I rediscovered this post I wrote in May, about how Trump has shifted the money the US used to spend on curing cancer into snatching your neighbors. I think I'll keep harping on this point. www.emptywheel.net/2025/05/09/s... Stephen Miller's War on Cancer...
Really great point from Salvadoran opposition leader Claudia Ortiz. Of course, that's how Mamdani began his campaign. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025... https://oyster.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:bbp2b224lro3bfnzcqwwnkfo&cid=bafkreif5fcdlu4mxxdd6bv2bjd4ef75ad6wnrrlzjblkbbn4ytl6rszwcm
DOJ wants to force American Oversight to get rid of three pages of a FOIA complaint that lays out DOJ's Jeffrey Epstein cover-up. Here's some of what they're asking to strike. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us... https://oyster.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:bbp2b224lro3bfnzcqwwnkfo&cid=bafkreide522xvvynapfijfqqgq3lkbdialpzdywgn62j2uao7syekirqzq
It's about 1:30 where @crockett.house.gov@bsky.brid.gy calls out Trump directly. www.youtube.com/watch?v=w928... The Announcement #JasmineForUS...
