Based on the parade route, the footage of tanks crossing the bridge will be prominent. We need a protest flotilla on the Potomac. I can’t be there because I will be at Mayday’s Impeachment Action Center, but any #nova people want to borrow my paddle boards to protest the fascist parade?

I can’t believe this is real

I still think the best idea for progressive donors is to just revive every alt-weekly in the country and staff them with 10 reporters each.

Around D.C., the new going rate is well-known: $5 million for a one-on-one dinner with Trump, but gov-affairs execs have “no clue where the money is eventually going,” one said. Another told me it’s “outer-borough Mafia sh*t.” My new piece is out @newyorker.com www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

An important signal to send that illegally appeasing Trump now could lead to future prosecution for bribery www.warren.senate.gov/newsroom/pre...

We deserve JD Vance antipope at this point.

PEW Report White evangelical Protestants continue to be among his strongest supporters: * 72% approve his job as president. * 69% rate ethics of top Trump administration as excellent or good. * 57% say they trust what Trump says more than what previous presidents said. MORE 👉 pewrsr.ch/42L6bNS

Cato has published my comprehensive review of the ~240 Venezuelans the US government renditioned 2 months ago to Salvador’s notorious prison. We identified FIFTY who came legally, never violated any immigration law, but are imprisoned at the US government’s request and at US taxpayer expense.

Listened to the Decoder Episode with @reckless.bsky.social and the Reuters CEO Steve Hasker and my respect for Reuters has gone up massively. It's so refreshing to hear a news organisation trying to make factual news accessible while still keeping to their core values. Defo subscribing now

For the umpteenth - but almost certainly not last time - the institutions of the American economy depend on the institutions of American democracy.

I feel if everyone pushes for this and incorporates this into their national protest themes, it will gain more traction. My sign? Simple and to the point. #FightBack #StandingInSolidarity #AmericaServesNoKings

Everyone come to Washington, you’ll have a month and free rein to make the govt more efficient. If you can’t, then go home and stfu. Next month we’re doing the measles camp. Every parent must bring their kids and either have a vaccine or stay in the camp.

What ARE we doing Hakeem? Making silly speeches about one of the 100 daily acts of patronage. That’ll show them.

If Trump was not President right now, he would 100% be saying that India and Pakistan would not be fighting if he was President right now.

Mr. Ceesay is a 63-year old man thrown into ICE detention with no warning in February after 14 years of check-ins — where he had a heart attack soon after. Judge Vilardo uses his case to emphasize WHY due process matters, even if deportation is the outcome. It's worth reading this whole thing.

Gosh. Who could have predicted the sketchy app the WH was using to "archive" its Signal chats is a security disaster?

Honestly this is just incredible content.

Just improved the Arlington VA feed to properly filter out global mentions of a certain town in New York that shares a name with one of our neighborhoods. I thought I'd had that filtered out already, but the REGEX being used turned out to be faulty. Now replaced and working fine.

I’m old enough to remember when he promised to do it in 24 hours after the election

This is WILD. Holy shit.

This is an enormous theft—not just privatizing a government function with a worse and more expensive for-profit substitute, but also a massive government financial data heist—and on the other side of it everyone needs to end up broke and imprisoned to deter them and others from doing it again.

Worse than originally reported. This is just so unreal.

One of hundreds of people abducted by ICE and sold to slavery in El Salvador was a 19 year old with no criminal record in the US or Venezuela and no tattoos of any kind. An ICE kidnapper who grabbed him outside his house said, "He's not the one." The other said, "Take him anyway." So they did.

I will say this - EVERYONE with power seems to be desperately hoping that unpopularity does the work that consequences need to do

Daily Caller *should* be a disqualifier for any respectable news publication. Pre-Trump they were right wing propaganda nonsense, since Trump they’ve been “dear leader” propaganda nonsense. Subverting journalism is not credible experience for doing journalism.
