I was in the Oval Office with Trump when he said a WH staffer he believed leaked an embarrassing story about him should be executed. We may want to take this line of argument from Trump’s attorney extremely seriously.

Conservative white flight from Black-run local governments continues in the South. East Baton Rouge Parish is plurality-Black & Louisiana's most populous county equivalent. This wealthy suburban area is overwhelmingly white, & its secession may devastate Baton Rouge's finances

This 2023 thread on what DC could learn from Boston's success in reducing gun violence is sadly still very relevant. We have some of the ingredients (especially with Chief Smith improving MPD) but breakdowns in prevention, prosecution & rehabilitation hold DC back.

WATCH: @EmoryUniversity Econ Professor @CarolineFohlin saw a protester on campus being violently arrested, and asked the police "What are you doing?" — then was violently thrown to the ground and arrested herself. Sickening.
It is beyond deeply troubling that we have a Supreme Court that is closer to the Russian and Hungarian courts then to the kind of court the framers envisioned. Filled with jackboot partisans and larded with corrupt jurists.

Militarized police with assault rifles today on the roof of an Indiana University building overlooking a protest. This is an unacceptable and uniquely American response to protests on campus.
The assassination of political rivals as an official act. Understand what the Trump team is arguing for here. Take it seriously and at face value. This is not a game.

Rape isn’t a “tragedy.” It’s a violent crime and forcing the victim to carry the child of her rapist is one of the most shameful and vicious acts of government imaginable. Absolutely monstrous people with their fake piety.

Instead of just allowing people to build more housing, SF decided to create a few “special access” subsidized units for a deserving few, but to make sure only the “right” people got them, required reams of paperwork & background checks to be allowed to live in them. So no one did

Extremists and Putin employees in Congress failed to overrule the will of the American people, who have always understood that Ukraine represents US interests and values by fighting for them against Russia. Now Europe must unite and finish the job. Ukraine whole & free! 🇺🇦

Tips welcome: [email protected]Replacing single family homes with apartments does not make a neighborhood less nice or desirable, in fact it makes it more so
@cafedujord You realize if you tear down the houses and instead build a bunch of apartments, it wouldn’t be the nice neighborhood it is now, yes? Changing a thing changes the thing?
I don’t know guys, I’m starting to think that Kristi Noem truly enjoys killing animals.
Trump Derangement Syndrome is defending the morality of a guy who bemoans being unable to celebrate his wife's birthday while simultaneously sitting in a courtroom hearing details of the time he paid hush money to a woman he was fucking while said wife was pregnant with his son.
I was in the Oval Office with Trump when he said a WH staffer he believed leaked an embarrassing story about him should be executed. We may want to take this line of argument from Trump’s attorney extremely seriously.
For the record, Trump's attorney John Sauer argues before the Supreme Court that depending on the circumstances, assassinating a political rival could be considered an official act.
Conservative white flight from Black-run local governments continues in the South. East Baton Rouge Parish is plurality-Black & Louisiana's most populous county equivalent. This wealthy suburban area is overwhelmingly white, & its secession may devastate Baton Rouge's finances
BREAKING: The Louisiana Supreme Court has ruled in favor of the City of St. George, saying its plan for incorporation was reasonable, reversing the opinion of lower courts theadvocate.com/baton_rouge/ne…
Great to be back in the beautiful Carroll County and have the opportunity to talk with voters! I will make sure that your priorities are my priorities in Congress.
For years, @RepPressley and I have been pushing for student debt cancellation for hardworking Americans. We spoke about the 4 million Americans who have gotten their student loans canceled thanks to President Biden!
What rubbish. Alvin Bragg's case is not 'selective prosecution.' Falsification of business records to conceal another underlying crime is a felony in New York. If you're a lawyer and can't figure that out, don't practice law in New York. rawstory.com/hush-money-266…
This 2023 thread on what DC could learn from Boston's success in reducing gun violence is sadly still very relevant. We have some of the ingredients (especially with Chief Smith improving MPD) but breakdowns in prevention, prosecution & rehabilitation hold DC back.
Boston isn't perfect but they have clearly figured out better ways to prevent homicides than what we have in DC. Their police, prosecutors & probation agencies have prioritized Focused Deterrence of the small number of gangs that drive most violence. (1/ ahdatalytics.com/dashboards/ytd…
WATCH: @EmoryUniversity Econ Professor @CarolineFohlin saw a protester on campus being violently arrested, and asked the police "What are you doing?" — then was violently thrown to the ground and arrested herself. Sickening.
When Hawaii banned noncompetes for tech workers in 2015, new hire wages rose 4%. jhr.uwpress.org/content/57/S/S…
The most immediate effect of a ban on non-competes will be to reduce wages. Maybe worthwhile due to possible positive effects on innovation. marginalrevolution.com/marginalrevolu…
It is beyond deeply troubling that we have a Supreme Court that is closer to the Russian and Hungarian courts then to the kind of court the framers envisioned. Filled with jackboot partisans and larded with corrupt jurists.
My writeup of the Republican Supreme Court justices astonishing display of loyalty to Donald Trump today is now up. vox.com/scotus/2414030…
Access control, perimeter security, police or security presence, bag checks, rules regarding allowable behavior and punishment if not, de-escalation teams (yes they exist), music and volume controls to drown out hecklers, sight line and hearing rules, academic or other…
@juliettekayyem @friendomedia I have heard the university received threats of disruption if the event was held. I’m not ‘in the know’ as to the specifics. How can a campus be secured to ensure no one is harmed? I agree they could change this decision, but security issues remain an impediment. Your thoughts?
Great news if this was 1924! I don’t know what to call this in 2024.
Ohio lawmakers have finally passed legislation to make it illegal to drug and rape your spouse. H.B. 161 just passed the Senate unanimously. I talked to a woman who suffered for years because the law didn't see her abuse as rape. Live on @WEWS at 6. + @WCPO @OhioCapJournal
Militarized police with assault rifles today on the roof of an Indiana University building overlooking a protest. This is an unacceptable and uniquely American response to protests on campus.
Taking this a step further, the NYT and the rest of the media have a completely asymmetric approach to what a gaffe means when reporting on Biden and Trump.
NYT issues an unprecedented statement slamming Biden for "actively and effectively avoid[ing] questions from independent journalists during his term" and claiming it's their "independence" that Biden dislikes, when it's actually that they're dying to trip him up.
To summarize, "I've had bad ideas in the past. Let me share with you my new bad idea. Also, I don't know how to calculate economic benefit or tax burden."
Shortsighted Kansas City turned down Denver-style prosperity by rejecting new stadium | Opinion kansascity.com/opinion/reader…
@KCStarOpinion If you think Denver's prosperity is based on giving billionaires stadium subsidies, that's simply not an honest, or even reality-based, opinion I am willing to engage with.
