Invalidating driver's licenses and enacting a bounty-style bathroom ban are the latest escalation in politicians' radical anti-trans crusade.
Kansas, we'll see you in court.
I do not think he was "joking" about giving himself the medal of honor. It appears he was rebuffed by advisors when he broached the subject with them.
This is brilliant.
Dean W. Ball Y @deanwball X.com Think about the power Hegseth is asserting here. He is claiming that the DoD can force all contractors to stop doing business of any kind with arbitrary other companies. In other words, every operating system vendor, every manufacturer of hardware, every hyperscaler, every type of firm the DoD contracts with—all their services and products can be denied to any economic actor at will by the Secretary of War. This is obviously a psychotic power grab. It is almost surely illegal, but the message it sends is that the United States Government is a completely unreliable partner for any kind of business. The damage done to our business environment is profound. No amount of deregulatory vibes sent by this administration matters compared to this arson.

BREAKING: We're suing Kansas for a law that invalidates transgender people's updated driver's licenses and authorizes anyone to sue anyone they suspect of being trans for using the "wrong" bathroom.
Was waiting for this! I knew the ACLU would step up, as it always does. Thank you, thank you!
She was in many ways rhetorically tepid and milquetoast while running for governor. I guess on the advice of consultants? But this speech really showcases her talent. Love her!
The clips I'm seeing from @atrupar.com are taking me back to archival work during my PhD when I read/listened to/watched speeches of dictators
Why are you not providing a source or link?
Anna, will you and the Lawfare team be breaking this down for us, helping us understand why the judge would have signed off and what happens next? Thank you so much, as always, for the incredible work you do!
Love this.
If you wear makeup (I don't), perhaps it's time to boycott Estée Lauder products.
If you're living somewhere outside the USA, one thing you can do is pressure your leaders to boycott World Cup and Olympic events here.
If you can, I think you should watch. I believe it’s our collective civic duty to bear witness. Brave bystanders whose own lives are at risk are documenting these atrocities for our eyes and the eyes of posterity.
An FBI agent conducted an initial review of the Renee Good killing and determined sufficient grounds existed to open a civil rights probe into the actions of the ICE officer who shot her. Justice Department says no inquiry is warranted. @perrystein.bsky.social www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...
Thanks! I value the perspective of someone who works in the field of nutrition. Especially since HHS and FDA are no longer reliable, trustworthy sources of information.
But whole fat dairy? Saturated fats pride of place in the diagram? In moderation, okay--fine. But full-throated embrace?
Would love it if you would elaborate! Including a giant slab of beef near the top of the pyramid diagram seems a little . . . sketchy. Huge emphasis on protein seems good for some demographics, like post-menopausal women.
We are so thrilled to have you here! NYC ❤️
Oops, I just noticed that @fiona-webster22.bsky.social already made the point it's the object of a preposition. So yeah, she's exactly right.
I love this sort of grammar conundrum! I confess I'm not entirely sure. But I'll note that "whom" is the object of the preposition "about". So I think it should indeed be "whom" not "who."
If anyone can explain what happens next, I’d be very appreciative. Does this put paid to Boasberg’s contempt proceedings, or is there still a possibility they’ll proceed down the road?
Thank you as always, Anna! Can you also provide some analysis to put these developments in context and explain their significance?
I'm very, very skeptical. Maybe "suspicious" is the better word. I suspect Trump may have a deal with Bondi that none of the documents bearing his name--even if redacted--will be released. He owns the DOJ--why in the world wouldn't they just filter those documents out?
Pelosi would not have let this happen. Harry Reid would not have let this happen. Any effective Democratic leader would not have let this happen.
Thank you, Senator Van Hollen. Proud to have you as my senator.
Thank you so much, Senator Slotkin. Now it’s time for Democrats to replace @schumer.senate.gov
Thank you for saying this and pointing it out. I think you’re spot on that empathy and real, innovative policy shifts that make a difference are key. Let’s not mock or deride people who say they feel unsafe.
Thank you so much!
