Wrote about YouGov's new measure of media trust, in which people are most likely to get info from social media and mostly don't trust social media sites. Gift link: wapo.st/43TBV55

I bet Mike Lawler is stoked this outside group is promoting his support for Trump to voters in his swing district.

Peter Doocy of Fox has already gotten at least three questions, if you're curious how robust the pool at this presser is.

Trump gives Elon the "key to the White House," a goofy souvenir Trump invented and that he kept giving to people even after he wasn't president anymore. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

He's wearing a shirt that says "The Dogefather" just to reinforce that he remains the corniest dude on Earth.

A lot of people know about the Germans in the space program, but the more relevant engineer might be Qian Xuesen, the MIT/CalTech aerospace professor who co-founded JPL and was sent to recruit the Germans. We deported him the 1950s. He became the leader of China’s missile program.

I loved this one. This is a gift link. defector.com/confessions-...

"Sinner" is a great track.

I simply refuse to believe that Stephen Miller's life partner is personally unpleasant.

The amount of space this particular strip occupies in my mind and has since I was a kid is hard to convey.

NEW: We obtained DHS data that shows the US knew only 32 of the 238 Venezuelans deported to a prison in El Salvador in March were convicted of US crimes, only 6 of those violent. Trump called them “savages,” “monsters” and "the worst of the worst.” www.propublica.org/article/trum...

It's been a rough few months made up of a seemingly endless series of rough days. But at least today we learned that Dan Bongino fucking hates the job he never should have been given, so that's nice.

Whether Americans support deportations depends on immigrants' circumstances. The administration's push to remove as many people as possible promises far more deportations of people who Americans think should be allowed to stay. Free to read: s2.washingtonpost.com/camp-rw/?tra...

Trump has helped convicts avoid more than a century of prison time through pardons and commutations. And that’s excluding Jan. 6 cases. Add them and the total is 𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝟕𝟎𝟎 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐬. Gift link: wapo.st/3Hfd174

In San Antonio today, plainclothes ICE officers (not masked this time) arrested, handcuffed, and zip-tied a family of five (yes, ALL of them, including the little children) coming out of their immigration court hearing — which ICE had just had dismissed. www.mysanantonio.com/news/local/a...

He spent a year writing for Gateway Pundit, which should be disqualifying for any job, much less this one.

As it turns out, Mike Johnson is wrong. Who knew.

This is a troll but it’s also something that will end up in history books as an example of how idiotic this moment is.

Scoop: Texas police used Flock's license plate cameras to search *nationwide* for a woman who had a self-managed abortion. Claim it was "about her safety" www.404media.co/a-texas-cop-...

Anyone who claims that the decision to halt Trump’s tariffs is an example of judicial overreach is unserious, uninformed or a liar. Or all of the above.

Here are the 200+ people who've received pardons or commutations from Trump and avoided prison time as a result. In total, more than seven centuries of incarceration were wiped clean, mostly to people involved in Jan. 6. Gift link: wapo.st/3Hfd174

I just realized that RZA shouts out "Morningstar Veggie Bacon" in a song.

"how dare these so-called judges attempt to contain or 'check' another branch of government, as though the intent of the constitution was to somehow level or 'balance' federal power!" bsky.app/profile/atru...

I was curious just how much time in prison people pardoned by Trump would otherwise have had to have served. So I added it up: more than 700 years, including 600 among Jan. 6 rioters. Gift link: wapo.st/3Hfd174
