Hey remember when Russia sent bomb threats to blue cities in swing states on Election Day and our leaders just collectively shrugged, and the media just moved on? I can't stop thinking about it.

Elon Musk seems to be taking over the human resources of the federal government by having all Trump disloyalty/DEI snitching reports sent to one of his personal employees, Amanda Scales, who is not even a government employee.

My first and definitely last time working with the Los Angeles Times. Editing out the most urgent point of an OpEd in the minutes before sending to press while then also assigning a title and image that suggest an argument entirely opposite to the author’s clear intent is pretty shitty.

Any US Senator who votes for Tulsi Gabbard, RFK Jr. or Kash Patel are betraying their oath of office to serve their constituents and uphold the Constitution.

“In almost every foreign conflict in which Russia had a hand, Gabbard backed Moscow and railed against the US. Her past promotion of Kremlin propaganda has provoked significant opposition on both sides of the aisle to her nomination.” www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Laughable to have Pete Hegseth claim that DOD will be led by “best and brightest” when he is a drunk sex pest who ran two small vets groups into the ground HE is the meritless hire

The news cycle today will understandably be focused on the DC plane crash. But so you know what’s at stake with the Kash Patel nomination, here is the Substack video i made when his nomination was first announced open.substack.com/pub/asharang...

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.

Pete Hegseth is the most incompetent of all Trump’s Cabinet picks. He's an alcoholic serial abuser who is unqualified for the job, and he will make our nation less safe. This was a completely reckless confirmation.

If you are looking for the guardrails on MAGA extremism, it does not reside in government institutions or norms. It won't be found in legacy media newsrooms where both-sides journalism is the order of the day. Nor will you find courage in the boardrooms of large corporations as they bow to Trump.

The most common question I receive is how everyday citizens can help in the fight for democracy. My advice, take the first step, start with something small and see what works for you. Here are ten things all of us can do. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/10-t...

Late last night, Trump fired the independent inspectors general of at least 12 major federal agencies. Inspectors general are tasked with rooting out fraud, abuse, and corruption. Trump wants loyalists in these positions — a key tenant of Project 2025. Keep paying attention. wapo.st/3Cptwvg

Trump takes credit for ending federal abortion rights during a video presentation to the March for Life and pushes his gross misogynist lie about mothers in blue states wanting to murder their babies

The miseducation of a homeschooler; or, the undertow that’s been pulling us toward this awful moment a long time, now. Rebecca’s version of this story is a rough one, but not nearly as uncommon as too many imagine. I’m grateful to her for sharing it.

Looking around at the US in this moment, I feel a mixture of nausea + rage. Nausea, for obvious reasons. Rage? Rage because for decades now, I've been trying to warn folks. As a #Homeschooled little girl, I had a front row seat to this nonsense. 🧵1/16

Trump has deployed active military to help round up migrants and put them into detention camps. The military forced us out of our homes at gunpoint in 1942 because we were considered possibly disloyal Americans. They sent us to internment camps for four years. History is repeating. Pay attention.

"Courage breeds creative self‐affirmation; cowardice breeds destructive self-abnegation. Courage faces fear and thereby masters it; cowardice represses fear and is thereby mastered by it. So we must constantly build dykes of courage to ward off the flood of fear." -- Martin Luther King Jr.
