BIG: DC Metro Police decided they had sufficient evidence to arrest sitting GOP Congressman and sent warrant request to USATTY's office. Acting USATTY Martin, who's been explicitly acting as Trump's personal attorney, ignored it. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/big-b...

Anyway buffoonish hack Ed Martin probably won’t approve charges against right-wingers. So if you’re in DC, deciding what level of force to use against a Trumpist, consider they can kill or assault or rape you without being charged or with the promise of a pardon, and act accordingly.

“How did Durham become what it is today?” asks former Mayor Wib Gulley. “I think more than anything else, the story of what happened in summer in 1986 was the key, pivotal point.” In Duke's Ninth Street Journal, Riya Sharma recounts a fight over LGBTQ+ rights that many of us remember well. #ncpol

WOW "Seven western Wisconsin Republican lawmakers did not appear at an event hosted by the Wisconsin Farmers Union in Chippewa Falls Friday as farmers from the area said they were concerned about the effect that President Donald Trump’s first month in office is having on their livelihoods." ⤵️

Tomorrow in the NYT: I voted for Donald Trump because I hate the people he hates and wanted to see them suffer. Now that I am suffering, why can’t you find it in your heart to be sympathetic? RUDE

Pretty stupid of Bill Clinton and Congress to pass a line item veto act to cut appropriations from parts of bills as part of his innate veto power when he could just have some random guy cut funding decades after a law was passed supreme.justia.com/cases/federa...

Be safe, Bull City. Here’s what you should know: Be careful on roads & sidewalks throughout the weekend. Wait until temperatures rise above 40F to leave home. Shady places are trouble spots. We plow when there’s 2+ inches of snow. We apply salt & salt/sand mix to primary roads and bridges.

As I noted to Bloomberg: This decision is a disaster for New York City; it will increase pollution and traffic, it will reduce quality of life, and it will make improving the subways all the more difficult. I guess the US royal family doesn't care.

We mock the egg price discourse but if Harris had won rising prices would have been the crisis cited as killing her presidency before it got started.

In addition to being civic degenerates these people are in every case infantile, sloppy and incompetent. Grand flourishes of performative cruelty followed by entitled pleas of "I don't know how to do this. Can you help?"

Adams must be removed. The city cannot sustain being governed for nearly a year by a Mayor who is being coerced by Trump admin in order to escape charges. This corruption poses a real threat to the people of the city. He should have resigned a while ago, but will not. So it’s time for him to go.

Here's the thing -- we're either in a constitutional crisis or we're not. Shit like this speaks louder than any of the press releases or strongly worded letters these folks are putting out.

This shouldn't be something that needs saying in this century, but 🤷🏾. Measles can purge your body's immunity library. So if the young one you look after gets measles, they may lose the immunity conferred by previous vaccinations (or infections like chicken pox). Adults can get measles too.

Hegseth's Rammstein speech is a watershed moment for Europe. It means the USA is no longer a reliable ally, even if its democracy survives ... 1/ ... but Hegseth is right on one thing. We now have to spend a lot more on defence 🧵

Here it is, The New American Century: The US is no longer a member of the West, no longer dominates science, impotently threatens Canada, Mexico, Greenland, and Panama, and is sandbagging its military and intelligence services as Russia conquers Europe. Congrats, Republicans. You did it.

Trump doesn’t understand the basis of American power post-1945 at all. To him all of it is just a waste of money. Therefore America is effectively resigning as a superpower
