🚨 There’s a lot of horrific news out of Washington right now—but you might have missed this: Senate Republicans just introduced a plan to sell off 120 million acres of our public lands. Let me break down what’s in the bill and why it’s a full-scale land grab. 🧵

I wrote about how the 2020 protests hurt Trump politically. I also wrote about how counternarratives about left-wing violence are just spin — and wildly at odds with the reality of extremist violence. Gift link: wapo.st/3SOEv6e

Saudi Arabia has executed another journalist, Turki Al-Jasser, after 7 years of detention for reporting on corruption. The failure to hold Saudi Arabia accountable for the murder of Jamal Khashoggi only encourages further acts of deadly violence against journalists in the Persian Gulf & elsewhere.

We should all understand by now that this kind of violence is what Trump and the GOP want. They’re never going to stop inciting it because it serves their purposes.

BREAKING: A federal judge in Massachusetts (the Reagan-appointed William Young) has declared the Trump administration's cuts to NIH grants — ostensibly over Trump's EOs on gender ideology and DEI — are "illegal" and "void." He's ordering many grants restored.

Donald Trump doesn't care about anyone but himself—his lightly attended $45 million military parade could've housed 6,000 homeless veterans.

The Times can't help itself. Blatantly corrupt dealings in Trump world merely "raise ethical concerns" -- because the Times (like essentially all of Big Journalism) has normalized activity that would have had news barons demanding impeachment of any previous president.

I count 49 news headlines on the NYT mobile app home page right now, not including opinion, sports or cooking. None of them are about the massive protests yesterday.

I absolutely think we need to keep in mind how we might obtain accountability. But raising the import of doing so--with no consideration of the massive undertaking or strategy it would require--is naive.

LET’S MAKE SURE THIS PATRIOT IS PROTECTED!!! 🚨DISTURBING: Airman Christian Stephens posted a video saying he’s not proud to serve under Trump and disapproves of ICE. Now it’s gone—replaced with a chilling message that he was forced into a psych hold, despite not being a threat. Please share.

Undocumented immigrants paid an effective federal income tax rate of 5.27% in 2022. That means they paid a higher effective tax rate than 5 of the richest Americans…and a higher effective tax rate than 55 mega corporations. So let me ask you: who are the real freeloaders?

Some will try to blame Trump for slowing the progress of so-called "carbon capture" projects. But that's not true. This sector would have collapsed anyway -- since the projects were wildly overhyped and have massively underdelivered. They were always a bad idea. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/10/c...

This is absolutely insane, and criminal. Everyone, especially a Senator representing the state, has a right to speak out. The fact that the agents felt protected in acting this way says everything. We’re quickly traversing a dangerous path

Don't let them lie to you about Senator Padilla. DHS is claiming the agents DID NOT KNOW he was a senator. He CLEARLY says (BEFORE he is tackled and cuffed) "I am Senator Alex Padilla and I have a question for the secretary."

Very importantly, it is not a "sign of the rising political tensions," it is "sign of the increasingly authoritarian approach of the Trump administration." Fucking say so, cowards.

Padilla: If this is how DHS responds to a senator with a question you can only imagine what they're doing to farm workers, to cooks, to day laborers out in the Los Angeles community and throughout California.

In the past week, a union leader has been arrested, a U.S. Rep charged with a crime, a U.S. Senator violently handcuffed, and reporters shot with rubber bullets and detained. There is no ambiguity. This is a regime operating as an authoritarian. Americans who believe in liberty must oppose it.
