This! We can’t help those ppl that have been hit by a tornado, fire, earthquake, hurricane, flood. You’re 💩 outta luck. But we’re sending hundreds of troops to LA to sleep on the ground and eat rations while nothing happens.

The disparity btwn what’s actually happening in Los Angeles and the way it’s being mischaracterized is one of the biggest stress tests of modern media in recent memory. Botted socials, AI, old clips, declining literacy—it’s like seeing a broken emergency response system hit by a storm.

Pete Hesgeth — who wants to rename the Navy ship that honors Medgar Evers, a WWII veteran who landed on Omaha Beach — is using that same beach for a photo op in which he promises we will “never forget” the veterans there. What an unbelievable asshole.

I don't trust Gavin Newsom at all. Not one bit. Any leader who calls the denial of due process and detainment and deportation of a legal resident of this country a "distraction" is just not someone I can trust.

One of the sources of rot running through our political, intellectual, and media institutions is the total triumph of the idea that democracy means outsourcing your morality and point of view to a fuzzily incoherent view of what's popular. Total rejection of the idea of morality as personal virtue.

Given what Trump is doing to the bond market - our debt is becoming more expensive - the Trump/GOP budget, which explodes the deficit by many tens of trillions, will almost certainly bankrupt the county. This budget needs to become seen now as something as dangerous as the tariffs. More sabotage.

I get the sentiment that's driving people to root for China right now, or at least against Trump. But first, this idea that all the US has is a slingshot is misguided. And second, it's good to remember that anything we reproach Trump for, Xi is as guilty of it, and in many ways more so.

It always boggles my mind that I, a journalist, am expressly forbidden from trading stocks, but members of Congress, with vastly greater knowledge of market-moving news, are allowed to profit by front-running markets, and so may profit by in essence stealing from the public they represent.

Incredibly moving. 1000s of Lithuanians lined the streets of the capital Vilnius yesterday to honor the four US soldiers killed on their soil. As their bodies are repatriated to the US, their President will be nowhere to be seen, except on a Florida golf course. (📸 Gedinimas Varvuolis)
