Yesterday the Trump administration took aim at @thekrebscycle.bsky.social and @sentinelone.com over Trump's longstanding beef with Krebs saying the 2020 election was legitimate. So @raphae.li asked more than 30 major cybersecurity firms and trade groups what they had to say. Here's how it went:

Striking that there was no local press present, as far as I could tell. I only covered for @motherjones.com bc I was visiting home. How many other towns had protests that weren't covered? The decimation of local journalism will obscure mass mobilization to Trump. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Our @clinthendler.bsky.social was in New Haven, Connecticut, at the town green and captured this short video showing the stream of people at the #HandsOff rally there—despite the patchy weather.

A bit cloudy, but still feels like a huge turnout here on the New Haven, Connecticut town green.

Kelly Meggs was not just convicted of sedition, he was adjudged to be a terrorist (he got a terrorism enhancement). The acting US Attorney for DC is, quite literally, palling around with a terrorist.

With tariffs, Trump is trading a strong economy for one run on loyalty and retribution. Tariffs scale his weaponization of government across the entire economy, with waivers for loyalists. But history shows that an economy run on favors is ultimately a poor one. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

If Trump is willing to hurt the economy, he must be getting something he wants even more in return. That thing is power. With tariffs, Trump can exercise a kind of corruption that the country hasn’t experienced in some 150 years. Read @pemalevy.bsky.social.

There should be no pussyfooting around on this by the MSM. The tariff stories we need aren't that the tariffs will cause hardship and make no economic sense. We know. The important story is one of rising corruption, and a wannabe mob boss who can be stopped only if ppl & civic leaders fight back.

"This is some of the finest journalism I've read in the Trump era so far," says @chrislhayes.bsky.social on @motherjones.com's reporting on the Trump admin deporting people to El Salvador, and in one case, over an autism awareness tattoo.

How much of the GOP's capitulation to Trump is politics, and how much is the threat of violence? US Capitol Police data I obtained shows that threats against lawmakers doubled in January and February www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

They claim they can snatch people up, put them on planes, and deport them to a country run by an authoritarian, where those people will be forced to work slave labor at an inhumane prison. All without due process, and in defiance of federal courts. The hypotheticals are over. This is the nightmare.

Intelligence community chatrooms like those that Rufo posted leaks from yesterday—leading 100+ folks being fired, seemingly for talking about their experiences as trans women—have long been widely used for "inappropriate" convos on social & political issues, per a 2021 Inspector General report.

🧵 Before saying "why isn't the media covering this?" Consider... 1. We may be working on it. B4 we can hit "publish", we need to either get the intel from public records requests OR internal sources. I've submitted ~6 FOIA requests in the last 3 days. FOIAs can take weeks/months to fulfill...

I still don't think there's enough discussion of the absolutely insanity of the president -- hours before leaving office -- granting a blanket, unconditional pardon for any possible crime that the country's top military officer might have committed over a 10-year period.
