work requirements, but for Rep. Ralph Norman

Trump officials' showings at hearings today were disasters, but it doesn't make headlines bc the media's default assumption is that Rs are clownish rascals. But if Dems didn't know what was happening at their agencies or what habeas corpus is, it'd be front page news. This is a key media asymmetry.

This is immensely messed up.

Not to beat a dead horse, but this is the kind of shit that Democratic Party leaders should be screaming about from the rooftops. We're turning into a gestapo state, and most Americans have no fucking idea that it's happening.

You count on the NPR Network. THANK YOU to our supporters who are showing we can count on you too. If you haven’t given yet, it’s time to join the movement to defend public media. Donate now: n.pr/3EYClNR

Menendez Jr: They feel no weight of the law and no restraint on what they should be doing. And that was shown in broad daylight today when they not just arrested the Mayor of Newark but when they put their hands on two members of congress standing behind me. How is this acceptable?

NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — Air traffic controllers for New Jersey's Newark airport lost radar again for 90 seconds Friday, FAA says.

Malia Obama is stepping into her director era — this time for Nike. The 26-yo directed a POWERFUL campaign video for A’ja Wilson’s debut signature sneaker, the A’One, dropping tomorrow. From hoop dreams to Black girlhood joy, this project beautifully celebrates style, strength, and sisterhood!

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and Senator Cory Booker gathered on the steps of the U.S. Capitol this morning to launch a sit-in protest.

To everyone that said Democrats like Van Hollen were making a political mistake in defending due process, you were wrong, and we shouldn’t even need a poll to tell us that.

Auchincloss: "This issue about the Maryland man is not about border security or immigration. It's about freedom. Freedom in the US means that if your feet are on American soil, you get to stand in front of a judge on an equal basis to the awesome power of the state and put forward the facts."

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

This is the kind of thing that, if true, leads to life sentences for treason

BREAKING: An immigration court determined our client Mahmoud Khalil to be removable from the U.S. based solely on his political speech. The fight isn't over — we'll keep fighting for Mahmoud's freedom and all of our First Amendment rights in federal court.

An underrated factor in how we got ourselves into this mess is that Americans are increasingly relying on computers and the internet instead of their own critical thinking faculties (AI is making this even worse), and as a result are uninformed and easy to manipulate.

I could not agree more. I see this everywhere. People are losing their reasoning capabilities.

but her emails

🚨BREAKING: Federal court rules that the Pennsylvania date requirement for mail-in ballot violates the First and 14th Amendments. Counties cannot reject ballots from counting undated and wrongly dated mail-in ballots. A HUGE victory for my law firm, our clients DSCC and DCCC and the voters of PA!

Found a new way to express this very necessary point.

Hegseth didn’t add the journalist to the chat. The national security adviser did that. Hegseth is the one who texted detailed air strike plans, including specific targets and timing, to the journalist. Let’s keep it straight.

In life, 3 things are certain: death, taxes, and decision-making variability🧠.

We expected 2,000 people out in GOP-held Greeley, Colorado. 11,000 people showed up. Something special is happening, folks. Now is the time to organize in every dimension possible and get to work.

This is horrible to post, but I may as well post it. We are essentially shutting down research operations in my group, which is focused on treatments for pediatric brain cancer. I’m a well funded investigator, and there’s no choice. Science can’t function without the stability of NIH

Trump walks to Marine One to head to Mar-a-Lago to play golf on the taxpayers dime. This trip will cost us $3.1 million, which could be used by USAID to feed 710 starving children for a full year.

Diane Duane is having a huge sale on ebooks bought directly from her, so she can pay rent. If you want ebooks of the Wizard or Door books, this is a steal ebooks.direct

Hi - any of you writing, Journo pals out there know of someone in the press who’d be interested in me writing a piece about my PIP nightmares? I will supply some gags as well. Can people please repost this please.

Wasserman Schultz: "I think this important fact should sink in for everyone: Donald Trump, in his first month in office, has fired more veterans than any president in history."
