Last night was the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops. I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III. Remind you of anyone?

Maybe we should honor the women who were real astronauts. From left to right are Shannon W. Lucid, Margaret Rhea Seddon, Kathryn D. Sullivan, Judith A. Resnik, Anna L. Fisher, and Sally K. Ride. NASA selected all six women as their first female astronaut candidates in January 1978.

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT. Astounding words from the judge about ripping U.S. residents off the streets and locking them up without due process. Pls RT. People need to know this. It's not going to stop with just a few scapegoats and everybody knows it.

🚨A U.S. born citizen was arrested in Florida for entering the state as an “unauthorized alien.” His mother and a community advocate showed his birth certificate during a hearing in Leon County. The judge said she had no authority to release him.

Worse than that, this double hearsay filtered through a known criminal alleges Garcia was a key player in an organization in a state... ...he's never lived in. It's utter nonsense from an Administration that not only doesn't know how to make a case to prove something but has no interest in proof.

AOC: I saw on Fox, Jeanine Pirro says that they found so many babies and two year olds and four year olds receiving social security. I got a notice for you Jeanine Pirro: those babies receive social security because their parents died. That’s not a waste. That’s humanity. That’s America.

You will find the scope of this new PROOF report—the third in a series on the Trump-El Salvador Scandal—staggering. You will want to know this information before the Trump-Bukele Summit Monday. It is worse than anyone feared.

Chasten and I are relieved that Governor Shapiro and his family are safe. While we wait to learn more, this much is clear: the targeting of a public official and his family - especially a prominent Jewish official on a major Jewish holiday - is unconscionable and has no place in our country.

there was not "intense social pressure" to stop saying 'master bedroom' and 'brown bag lunch,' bffr. If you were a national pundit with millions of readers you would get some annoying twitter replies and emails. Ordinary people with normal jobs were not experiencing this.

No! Stop this, major media! That’s _not_ what just happened! DOJ at _no_ point made _any_ commitment to “bring Garcia home,” nor did it ask for “more time” to “bring Garcia home.” It said that Garcia is in the custody of El Salvador and the court has no jurisdiction there. Get it right, dammit!

As I expected, the government ignored the 9:30 a.m. deadline set by the federal court in Maryland. The court moved the deadline to 11:30 a.m. As I expected, the government ignored the 11:30 deadline. A 1:00 p.m. court hearing was scheduled. As I expected, the government demanded it be canceled.

Not a single word to help the 33m small businesses in this country. Not from anyone in the administration. So many buy from China, and don't have alternatives. So many didn't have the cash to front run the tariffs and buy inventory

Not one reporter asked about the Executive Orders targeting Chris Krebs & Miles Taylor during today’s Cabinet press conference. Not one. A president using DOJ to punish those who spoke out? That’s banana republic territory. I waited. The question never came. Why? Has the fear already taken hold?

I am heartbroken to hear of the passing of Peter Lovesey. He was among the very finest mystery authors, and a gentleman of unparalleled generosity. One of my most prized possessions is a personalised copy of ABRACADAVER he sent me two years ago when DEATH AND THE CONJUROR came out in the UK.

Look, we know Cat Valente can do this, but even knowing that, it's impressive. That first paragraph establishes how she wants us to think about English is an _extremely_ clear way. Then the bear paragraph goes all bravura on illustrating the point. But that third paragraph? That's the chef kiss.

What kills me is I know a bunch of very rich very stupid people who voted for him because they said he’d be good for the economy. Anyone alive during 2016 to 2020 would’ve been able to tell you that Trump is completely nonsensical and moronic. we are the United States of amnesia.
