Without public education, people are easier for billionaires & extremist ideologues to control. Knowledge & critical thinking help avoid manipulation by misinformation & erosion of rights. Hold corrupt Republicans accountable!

This thread is WILD. It appears as though the tattoos pictured in Trump’s Tren de Aragua checklist for deportation were all lifted from UK tattoo artists’ Instagram pages. Not a single one is from an actual gang member.

The status quo simply isn't working for most Americans. We need to acknowledge that. But the answer isn't burning it all down. The answer is building government back up in a way that works for all of us.

Today’s bonus issue of “One First” uses Tuesday’s executive order on elections to illustrate what a President can (and, as importantly, can’t) do through an executive order—and how major media organizations should do better in reporting on them: www.stevevladeck.com/p/bonus-134-...

Chris Murphy: "They're sitting there telling the American people that 2+2=7...those were attack plans, those were war plans, that was classified information, everybody knows it. The idea that they think they can get away with this level of gaslighting- it just strikes at the foundation of democracy"

Hold on, so Steve Witkoff was participating in the Signal group discussing war plans against Houthis while being physically in Moscow, perhaps even in the Kremlin? He met Putin late on March 13. Obviously the odds of Russia not compromising any device he would bring there are pretty slim.

What the Trump administration wants to do by creating these camps is monstrous enough. But a key thing I found when writing a book on concentration camp history is that when you establish this kind of detention, it tends over time to devolve into much worse kinds of camps.

That guy is Executive Director, Naval Sea Systems Command. He's basically the guy in charge of making sure the boats are good boats. And he has to send a frantic email out telling everybody to treat DOGE like a phishing attack.

I've been seeing lots of super compelling videos of park rangers and federal lawyers and other federal workers telling their stories. Talking about what they did at their job, how it helped the American people, and why they want to keep doing those jobs. This is the way.
