The Houthis fired a missile at Israel. Israel determined the missile was on course to hit in the West Bank and opted to not intercept it. They really should have knocked it down.

I chose the previous Secretary of DHS as my contemporary #AltCitizen. He is an immigrant, brought to the US as a small child. He is a decent human being, well-respected, and kind, and his farewell address in January brought us to tears. Wish you were still S-1, Alejandro. #AllofUs #AltCitizen

The White House just dropped an executive order significantly shaking up operations at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, the government’s nuclear safety regulator widely regarded as the “gold standard” for global nuclear power safety operations. I used to cover NRC closely. Here are some notes🧵

Anytime I say something like this people are always like… “nope, we need to change constitution”. Reality check: not happening. Stop focusing on extremes, demand things that can be done and as such… get shit done, for once.

The next president, if there is one, needs to sign just two executive orders. The first one needs to overturn every EO Trump signed. The second needs to direct Congress to write a law banning executive orders and demand they take back the various Constitutional powers they’ve extended to a POTUS.

How bad was Ed Martin? Joyce Vance counted the ways; from his racist chums and bizarre conspiracism, to his lawless bullying. Martin was, in fact, so hair-on-fire awful, that he was too much for a GOP Senate that was willing to swallow Pete Hegseth/RFK/Tulsi/Kash. open.substack.com/pub/charlies...

Any company that can replace a tariffed product with an American made is going to flourish. Can’t get tomatoes or avocados, twinkies and Ho-Hos are made in US bakeries and are the perfect replacement !!! Pay no attention to the price increase. They never go bad !

He’s threatening media companies who are critical of him. He’s talking about sending Americans to foreign prisons. He’s signing executive orders to investigate former staff members who spoke out against him. He’s defying the Supreme Court. Don’t you see what’s happening here?

Apologies for the headline saying "anti-Christmas bias." I don't write headlines is all I can say to that. It's fixed now. The social card had it right, so it probably didn't register for a lot of folks here. But I want to address it.

When a sitting President even talks about "deporting" American citizens, it's reached a point that I believe Congress should impeach and remove them. The only way that ever happens is if they disarm the public. And while that part may not have been said, it is definitely implied!

We have to put pressure on GOP senators. That means we have to call their offices, mail them letters, rally outside their homes if that is what it takes. They and only they have the authority to hold Trump fully accountable. If we're not targeting them, we're failing ourselves.

I’m struggling to find words to capture how devastatingly bad this “disappear people to El Salvador” setup is for our nation. Heather Cox Richardson does better: “Once you give up the idea that we are all equal before the law and have the right to due process, you have given up the whole game.”

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.
