As always, your regular reminder that despite having every law enforcement agency of the federal government and billions of dollars worth of surveillance tools available to them, the Trump admin has managed to find a grand total of zero (0) "paid agitators."

yes, Mamdani hasn't commentated on this, except for, uh, the time when he did - ny1.com/nyc/all-boro... - but that doesn't count because it was 'on the campaign trail'
this is often right but also it would have saved me a lot of time and heartache if somebody had pointed out that I might be ADHD at any point in the first thirtyfive years or so of my life, so
crazy to think that perhaps because trump is not an ideologue and is a little attentive to public sentiment he is less likely to go full tiananman square than miller and vance
With no noted dissents, SCOTUS refuses to take up the case of Pauline Newman, a 98-year-old judge on the Federal Circuit who has been stripped of her caseload over allegations that she is in severe mental decline. Newman has become a conservative cause célèbre for reasons that are inscrutable to me.
"Either way, the concentration of wealth at the very top is much higher now than it ever was during the Gilded Age. And these are numbers from last year, before the SpaceX IPO. The robber barons were pikers compared with today’s oligarchs." paulkrugman.substack.com/p/meet-the-n...

"Tell them to arrest me," the agent can be heard saying. "Tell them. I dare you. Who’s going to arrest me?”

New from Haberman and Swan:

"Vance got to the point. They needed to invoke the Insurrection Act, swiftly, to crush the unrest in Minnesota. It would be painful in the short term, he said, but the message it would send — that paid agitators can't get away with disrupting ICE operations — would make sure no one tried it again."

Hi.
