Dear journalists, Every day, I wonder what keeps you going. Delivering facts to Americans must be soul-destroying work when you see what Americans do with them. But you've never been more needed. If we keep this republic, it'll be because of you. Sending strength. Thanks

To what degree will the intelligence community shade, skew, or lie about their conclusions once they are told not to contradict the president?

He's jealous Obama got a Nobel Peace Prize, but he's also jealous of how Obama announced the killing of Bin Laden. Trump knows his announcement of the killing of Soleimani wasn't in the same league. He'll try again tonight when he addresses the nation

ICE agents in tactical gear chase down and tackle a U.S. citizen in L.A. After realizing he’s American, they just slink away. Their only explanation: “Why were you running?” Probably because two masked men with guns were trying to snatch him.

A reminder to never use AI to buttress your argument. Yes, I have seen it produce correct facts. But too often, it produces wrong answers and invents "sources". Now Musk says he's reprogramming Grok to give his preferred answers. Never use AI to buttress your argument

As I have argued for months: The person calling the shots in this admin was never Musk or Bannon or Susie Wiles. It's always been Shadow President Stephen Miller. Anything Trump says on e.g. immigration is cheap talk; Miller is the decider. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

I want to acknowledge that The Tennesse Holler is retweeting The Cato Institute, and to thank The Tennessee Holler for doing so. I don't know anyone who's worked harder than David Bier @davidjbier.bsky.social to prove the vast majority of people taken in ICE sweeps are not criminals

Decisions made on false information are enormously more likely to have bad consequences. This idiot is basing national security decisions on what he sees on Fox News

1. Senator Alex Padilla didn't break the law 2. Vance served with Padilla in the Senate and knows his name 3. Vance and his press secretary behave this way because being as despicable as possible and lying as blatantly as possible earns you points in the Republican Party

This stat from G Elliott Morris. I want to add: I don't expect consistency from MAGA on policy. The same Trump supporter could be against attacking Iran while Biden was president and for attacking Iran while Trump is president

Yeah. Absolutely unacceptable. But we told you this was gonna happen. They don’t care if you’re conservative, family-oriented, hard working and against socialism. They only care that you’re brown. And they’re trying to get rid of birthright citizenship, which is in our Constitution.
