A Mississippi grand jury has indicted two Mississippi Capitol Police officers for manslaughter in the 2022 shooting death of 25-year-old Jaylen Lewis, court documents filed in March show.

IN CONTEMPT! (I personally verified this is indeed an actual post from the official White House account on X.) Trump has nothing but contempt for the Constitution, the Courts, Congress, Civil Rights, the Rule of Law or any American not loyal to him. He will destroy everything if we let him.

On CNBC today, Elizabeth Warren had to explain to anchor Sara Eisen that Congress can in fact take away Trump's tariffs authority, and also that America is not ruled by a king who can make laws by decree.

This is wild www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

Whew! Sen Chuck Grassley’s town hall should be a wake-up call for Trump & Republicans. Voters want Kilmar García brought home — and they’re pissed Trump’s thumbing his nose at a Supreme Court ruling. This isn’t “tough on crime,” it’s lawless, un-American trash — and folks know it. This is Iowa!

We had the reporter on tonight; @maddow has the whistleblower

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

Who are you going to believe, me or your own lying eyes?

What a duo of tweets.

Breaking news: China has announced an additional retaliatory tariff of 50% on US imports. The measure will take total duties on US imports introduced during the current Trump administration to 104% www.ft.com/content/f3e0...

The intermingling of fascist paramilitary and propaganda groups with the federal government is a literal hallmark of fascism. Do with that information what you will and really sit with what it means that a stochastic terrorist is now essentially deputized by the state to do as she pleases.

Disgusting 🫣

Damn that idiot Trump, he is going to get people killed for this. I hope the current military leadership refuse to comply with an illegal order.

Unidentified men grabbing someone off the street and putting her in a car because she wrote an op-Ed. This as flatly authoritarian as anything we’ve seen in this country in a very long time.

Scoop: The Washington Post recently—and quietly—removed its "Democracy Dies in Darkness" slogan from the opening sequence of its app, a notable change given Jeff Bezos once insisted it always appear alongside the logo. It also no longer appears atop its mobile site. www.status.news/p/washington...

“People should see the texts in order to reach their own conclusions.” @jeffreygoldberg.bsky.social and @shaneharris.bsky.social share the group chat in which officials planned strikes on Yemen. theatln.tc/AHkpb39A

NEW: As a U.S. military contractor, SpaceX sees allowing Chinese ownership as fraught. But it will allow the investment if it comes through secrecy hubs like the Cayman Islands, court records say. “It is certainly a policy of obfuscation,” an expert said.

Ossoff: This was a huge a mistake Ratcliffe: No Ossoff: This is an embarrassment. We will get the full transcript of this chain and your testimony will be measured carefully against its content

Wow- Himes during a heated exchange w/Will Cain on Fox: "I'm not gonna listen to to you tell me that this about a partisan advantage...it is by the grace of God that we don't have dead pilots right now...it makes me want to throw up to hear you turn this into a partisan issue. You just need to stop"

"The report found that more civilians were killed in the first week of the Trump administration’s bombing campaign than were killed in the 12 months of US- UK strikes on Yemen that were conducted under the Biden administration from Jan 2024 to Jan 2025." The Signal chat was bad. This is worse:

I'm not saying anything novel here but it really is just truly despicable to watch them use THEIR OWN COLOSSAL SCREW UP to slander the reporter THEY INCLUDED ON THEIR CLASSIFIED GROUP CHAT

I'm Kat Abughazaleh and I'm running for Congress.

It never got a lot of attention, but Aber put a WHOLE LOT of child predators w/ties to law enforcement in prison. www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/f...

Jessica Aber’s death feels like a story meant to fade into the background —tragic headline that people are supposed to forget. But when career prosecutor who spent her life chasing Russian cybercriminals, CIA leaks, and war criminals turns up dead weeks after resigning, forgetting isn’t an option

A group of Israeli settlers raided and forcibly took over a Palestinian home in Hebron and unfurled an Israeli flag on its terrace while the family was out.

Tucson, Arizona today. Original projected attendance was 3,000 people. 23,000 showed up.

It is a sad day for the legal industry. Paul Weiss, didn't just bend a knee, it set a new standard for shameful capitulation. This is a stain on the firm, every one of its partners, and the entire legal profession.

"What Ceasefire? Trump Helps Netanyahu Kill Over 400 Palestinians in Gaza" For Zeteo, @attackerman.bsky.social lays out how the Trump administration backs war against Palestine abroad and repression against supporters of Palestine at home.

"Many who left held a top-secret security clearance, called Q, that gave them access to information about how nuclear weapons are designed, produced and used, officials said..." www.nytimes.com/2025/03/17/u...

Other people are still at "is it a constitutional crisis yet?" and I'm at "the crisis was several exits ago, the car has crashed, we're now just seeing how many cars end up in the pileup and how high the casualty count is" or "the house is actively burning down, the question is what's left after."

I wrote about how Trump is destroying American democracy, along with eight crucial lessons about how to counteract it, drawing on my 14 years of studying brave pro-democracy opposition movements in authoritarian regimes across the globe. We’re in serious trouble, but there’s still hope.

I got your waste, fraud, and abuse right here

Who's gonna tell him?😳

In some other multiverse timeline, this jaw droppingly racist statement would be lead story of the day.

Schumer needs to resign

The UK-based Al Khair Foundation confirmed eight of its aid workers were killed in an Israeli drone strike in Beit Lahiya, northern Gaza, on Saturday, breaching the ceasefire. 🔴 LIVE updates:
