White DEI.

The Senate just confirmed Kash Patel as the next FBI Director. A MAGA loyalist and conspiracy theorist is now in charge of one of the biggest intelligence agencies in the world. This is a serious threat to Americans.

calling what trump is doing in ukraine appeasement is excessively kind to trump and grotesquely unfair to chamberlain et al. for all his faults, chamberlain wasnt rooting for hitler.

Can we also keep in mind that while Zelenskyy like Churchill 1940-45 postponed elections, Trump in peacetime tried to overturn by violence an election he lost - and has since pardoned all the co-conspirators in his attempted coup?

If you were wondering if there is a word to describe how the United States is currently being governed, why, yes, there is: kakistocracy!

It’s not a “savings” if you’re getting fewer services in exchange. I’m still paying the same taxes!

REVEALED: we identified the operator of an overtly racist X account, "GlomarResponder," as ICE Assistant Chief Counsel James Rodden, based on an overwhelming number of biographical details matched through publicly available documents, other social media activity, and courtroom observation.

Lol

The reporters at Texas Observer have been doing incredible investigative work lately, the kind of work that places like the WaPo used to do with a much larger budget before it got bought up and then slowly hollowed out by a billionaire sycophant who'd rather go into space than live in a democracy.

Duckworth: "He essentially just surrendered to Putin."

Crockett: "It's just that they're idiots. These are the same guys as it relates to our nuclear stockpile, they're like, 'Oh, wait a minute, we needed those guys? Can we get them back? Oh, we don't know how to.' I don't know how anyone can look at this administration & feel a semblance of confidence"

This is a concentration camp. They are describing a concentration camp.

BREAKING: A plane has crashed in Arizona, leaving at least one person dead.

The Trump administration is weighing whether to destroy $500 million in stockpiled covid tests, @lenasun.bsky.social + Carolyn Johnson scoop. The effort comes after Trump rescinded a Biden executive order to ensure the nation would have ample covid tests on hand.

BREAKING: Denise Cheung, head of the criminal division in the D.C. U.S. Attorney’s Office, resigned after refusing a Justice Department order to freeze $20 billion in climate funds. In her resignation letter, she revealed that Trump officials had pressured her to launch a baseless criminal probe

I sincerely doubt any journalist of color I know would be allowed to write "I didn't know this important aspect of US history and read the Wikipedia summary of it to catch up" in a prominent newsletter read by every important person in the nation's capital

Only a Trumper could think abandoning Europe for a decaying kleptocracy will offer the U.S. historic economic opportunities.

Trump is Putin’s bitch. I know that; you know that; and, most importantly, Putin knows that.

Elon Musk is making wild claims that #DOGE has found evidence of massive Social Security fraud.... The reality is that Musk's young engineers don't seem to be able to understand COBOL databases while Musk is misrepresenting the Social Security data www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

The employee is Gavin Kliger. He’s been named by multiple large news orgs. Not sure why NBC won’t.

The Washpost, which is bleeding millions of dollars and shrinking its staff, accepted -- and then rejected -- a $115,000 ad that criticized Elon Musk. Anyway, here's the ad that the Post's business side didn't want its readers to see ⤵️ thehill.com/media/514849...

A good moment to remember the Russia thing was always real. Trump's goal is to help Russia and Putin, always has been. He's trying to throw our democratic allies under the bus and America as well. Again, the Russia thing was always real.

I’m sure it’s just my TDS, but I think Trump is proving to be exactly as bad as we said he was going to be and people who acted like we were hysterical should be embarrassed they didn’t do more to try and stop it.

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

There's a Crisis of Masculinity in this country and the only way to solve it is to let me act like a cross between a baby and a movie villain

Now, that’s funny

REPOST if you support our federal workforce and know how dedicated they are to their jobs. Show them you appreciate them!

Shopping at Safeway for foreseeable future instead of #kingsoopers / #kroger to support the strike against unfair labor practices and bullying behavior to unionized workers. KS much more convenient, but no way would I cross the picket line. #colorado
