Stop saying “democrats are failing” because that includes AOC, Frost, Crockett, Booker etc - and they’re NOT failing. Name the people failing you, and don’t let them drag the whole party down with them.

IDEA: Stop covering politics like its a fucking sporting event. The GOP spending cuts don't provide an "opening" for Democrats to attack. They are either going to harm people or not. Journalism is supposed to be about informing people.

Once on vacation I had to drive an hour to an FBI field office just to find a secure phone to call into a White House meeting. Pete Hegseth is an amateurish mockery to anyone who ever actually took security seriously and needs to go.

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!!!

Kind of like you did the other day, @errollouis.bsky.social. Throwing all of us survivors under the bus to make your point. Do you care that so many survivors cannot go on for exactly these kinds of untruthful smears?

Remember how we told you Trump took out a full page add calling for the death penalty for 5 Black teenagers accused of rape & even after they were exonerated refused to disavow his earlier public call for their execution? For him law exists for cruelty & draconian punishment.He will use & abuse it.

We tried mass tariffs in 1828, and it crashed the economy. We tried again in 1930, and it crashed the economy. Third time’s the charm, I guess.

Me talking to my Senator’s staff: What is Eric Schmitt doing about the tariffs and the market plunge? Staff: I’ll be happy to pass this along. Me: Pass what along? I asked a question. Staff: I’ll pass it along. Me: A question? No, I want an answer. Staff: Okay. Thanks. hangs up 😡

When @thomaslfriedman.bsky.social writes “the world is worried” about Trump’s tariffs and other economic moves, he’s not speculating. “Trump Just Bet the Farm” is the headline on a @nytopinion.nytimes.com column late Thursday afternoon that has this haunting observation:

Happy Trans Day of Visibility! It was founded in 2009 by Rachel Crandall Crocker in Michigan and is now celebrated in countries around the world. Visibility saves lives, gives voice to the voiceless, and offers joy and hope where scarce. I thank God I’m trans. It’s a gift and a soul’s commission.

If you’re a journalist or lawmaker still planning to attend the White House Correspondents Dinner after WHCA cancelled Amber Ruffin to placate a petty tyrant, you need to dig deep and ask yourself why you’re really still going because it sure as hell isn’t to celebrate the First Amendment.

All I keep thinking about is how Pete Hegseth raised questions of the competency of a Black four-star general and Air Force fighter pilot who was the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Hegseth asked did he get the job “because of his skin color? Or his skill? We’ll never know, but always doubt.”

It's critical for everyone to remember what an Executive Order is. It is the President communicating orders to members of the executive branch. Policies to pursue, actions to take, etc. They are not laws. They are not close to being laws. They are formalized memos to employees. That's all.

Two free tips for anyone writing about Trump requiring people to do something 1) you can say purporting to require 2) no obligations have been imposed on people. The order tells agencies to take appropriate action to implement a policy; let's keep space between Trump's word & law as long as we can

Goldberg said the level of detail in the targeting package that he received via Signal was down to the names of individuals to be killed. That’s the good stuff that includes all kinds of sources and methods and never should have been outside a SCIF. I’d be in prison if I fucked up that bad.

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.
