Steve Simon: "What does the voter rolls have to do with what's happening on the ground right now with the ICE surge in Minnesota?"
Simon: "They don't just want the public stuff which anyone can get - name, address, voting history, stuff like that. What they want is very personal, private, sensitive data on millions of people - namely, Social Security numbers, driver's license numbers, military service history where applicable"

What’s astounding about this is that Schumer seems to want to set an absurdly high standard for crisis so that he doesn’t have to engage in real conflict with Trump - except the standard he’s set is also one Trump seems likely to meet in the near future, and Schumer has no plan for what to do then
Gotta be honest, it’s pretty refreshing to see that most Republicans still have their heads screwed on straight about Putin. I wasn’t sure they’d still be there after *waves hands* all this.
Early voting in person in Wisconsin starts March 18.
Wisconsin, this is your first chance to fight back against Musk, Trump, and MAGA at the ballot box—by defeating Brad Schimel, and electing Judge Susan Crawford to the WI Supreme Court.

… [ICE official] argued that "the lack of specific information about each individual actually highlights the risk they pose" and "demonstrates that they are terrorists with regard to whom we lack a complete profile."

If Republicans in Congress want to help make our country safe, I have some ideas for them.

This is a pedantic point but I am just annoyed that we've let Elon work "DOGE" into our collective vocabulary. As a word, not an acronym. Not the Efficiency Department, Not the D.O.G.E., fucking DOGE. For his goddamn ambitions as a memelord. Good grief. Happy Monday.

@reckless.bsky.social I’m excited for Friday’s podcast.

Every now and then, I'll reopen ChatGPT just to see what's new. To see if /anything/ has changed. Really, to see if it's gotten remotely more trustworthy. The fact that it still can't even get basic questions right — even about itself! — is completely ridiculous
I’m just getting over being sick and just went outside for the first time in 72+ hours
