If you would like to write to President Zelenskyy and offer your support or apology, here is his contact information: 202-349-2963 -- Pres. Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Embassy of Ukraine, 3350 M. St. NW, Washington DC 20007 -- [email protected]

I told you all @jeffbezos was feral. He’s now killed the Graham/Bradlee legacy of justice, the First Amendment and basic humanity in a vomitous spew of nonsense, testosterone fueled (and HGH) double talk that is more than a little pathetic and utterly shameless.

"In the MAGA movement," @JillFilipovic writes, "an adolescent way of moving through the world—high-risk, low-regulation, near-total disinhibition—characterizes leaders and thrills followers": www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Increasingly worrisome. Worth the read. www.salon.com/2025/02/26/a...

Unexpected and heartening.

“President Trump regards people who take their constitutional oath seriously as, by definition, his political enemies. His attack on public service is not about reform; it’s a first strike against a key obstacle to authoritarianism” www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Litigation Tracker highlights today: 1. Gwynne Wilcox sues for effort to remove her from National Labor Relations Board 2. AFL-CIO sues Labor Dept for DOGE access (gov't agrees to bar DOGE until Friday hearing) 3. Judge orders nationwide preliminary injunction blocking birthright citizenship E.O.

BREAKING: AOC blames crash on Trump / Elon “I represent LGA Airport as well as workers for JFK. Trump gutted the Aviation Safety committee last week. Air traffic controllers, already understaffed, got Trump’s “buyout” this wk with a 1 wk ultimatum to decide. It’s not DEI - it’s him. And Elon too.”

OK, we all know about cable figures who "both-sides" any difficult issues. Thus ENDLESS RESPECT to (experienced pilot) Pete Muntean, of CNN, for laying out now, in merciless no-BS form, the complete, irresponsible, bigoted, nonsense that Trump and team are spewing. www.cnn.com/2025/01/30/p...

I want to make this clear: diversity is extremely popular. THAT is what they’re furious about. They lost that battle in the culture and want to reverse it by force.

Incomprehensible

Pamela Hemphill, who served 60 days in prison for her role in the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol, said she did not want a pardon. “Absolutely not,” Hemphill said. “It’s an insult to the Capitol Police.” nyti.ms/4hmt67M

If you're interested in Trump's position on birthright citizenship, and why it's a stone cold loser unless the Supreme Court departs from both the Constitution & longstanding law, I laid out the arguments back in December. cafe.com/notes-from-c...

Donald Trump's January 6 pardons are significant not only for who is released from prison specifically, but for the message they send, Ali Breland writes. "Radical militias are free to act with impunity—as long as they’re loyal to Trump."

Some of Capitol Police officers that protected Trump yesterday were among those injured by the insurrectionists he just freed. This is how Trump pays back their bravery. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Federal law requires that advisory committees have a balanced membership, public meetings and disclose records to the public. DOGE is currently doing none of those things, in violation of the law. So, we sued. www.citizensforethics.org/legal-action...

Just in case you were wondering! Lock in!

Increasingly looking like the announced Gaetz nomination kills two birds with one stone: It gives Gaetz an excuse to resign, which he did this afternoon to prevent release of the House Ethics report on his conduct, due Friday, while letting Trump tweak Dems into outrage, which he enjoys doing.
