Why mutherfucker, is the white neighbor who walked up on my wife, calling himself welcoming her to the neighborhood and her telling him we’ve been living here for almost 6 years.

AP sues Trump White House, alleging ban on its journalists at major events amounts to unconstitutional retaliation by the federal government for free speech. White House spox: AP's leaders have "rotted... peanut-sized brains" My updated story for NPR: www.npr.org/2025/02/21/n...

U.S. Rep. Rich McCormick was peppered with boos and catcalls throughout a town hall meeting in Roswell late Thursday, as hundreds of critics jeered the Republican for backing President Donald Trump’s agenda during his first month in office. #gapol ajc.com/politics/mcc...

A source stationed in Germany has sent me emails showing the principal at a Department of Defense school, Weisbaden Middle, telling teachers they can no longer allow books to be checked out until someone has reviewed them for compliance with Trump’s anti-trans, anti-diversity ex orders.

If you’re wondering why I declined to talk to the NYTimes, then you haven’t been following my account for very long. They bear a direct responsibility for the current situation we find ourselves in, and I responded by laying out my position and that I would only talk to @jamellebouie.net

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.

NEW: Pregnancy became far more dangerous in Texas after the state banned abortion, according to ProPublica’s first-of-its-kind analysis, which found the sepsis rate for women hospitalized as they miscarried in the 2nd trimester shot up by more than 50%. https://propub.li/43487Tj

America is not gonna go down quietly.

Oh yes, Homer’s famous “Tes Thdpssssps.” 👍🏻

“What we are doing is working,” Gov. Brian Kemp boasted about Georgia Pathways to Coverage. The state's own report says different The program is not achieving two primary goals: enrolling people in health care and getting them to work #gapol www.propublica.org/article/geor...

JD Vance is so nauseatingly unlikeable that he’s literally dragging down the AfD’s approval rating

In every other parallel universe this is the guy who tells you the McDonalds soft-serve is broken again. #DOGE

The VP of the US responding to a journalist. What a great role model for our kids.

we need an associate to join the firm as soon as possible. various reasons inc. half the fed gov't being fired. employment, civil rights, a bit of suing Elon Musk, some other stuff. *Virginia* bar required. I'll get around to posting something formal but email me a resume if you want to apply.

UPDATE: We got Judge Lauren King's opinion backing her Friday TRO. She finds that the anti-trans order trying to limit gender-affirming medical care likely violates separation of powers, equal protection, and the Tenth Amendment. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Some good news to start the week. The anti trans-youth EO likely violates separation of powers, equal protection, and the Tenth Amendment. 👇

I was honored to make a cameo on tonight’s @60minutes.bsky.social. Here’s the story that aired: www.cbsnews.com/news/usaid-d... And here’s the longer discussion that Scott Pelley and I had about the broader constitutional and institutional problems we’re facing: www.cbsnews.com/news/legal-l...

Imagine if the media pointed out there was already a Government Accountability Office whose job it is to go after actual waste and fraud, not just things Elon doesn’t like, and found $70 Billion in savings last year and $2 Trillion in waste since 2003. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Governm...

JUST IN: A federal judge in Washington state, who blocked Trump's executive order re: transgender health care, says it is unconstitutional in multiple ways, including usurping Congress' power of the purse storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

I've been waiting for an instance of censorship by government outlet Xitter that someone could build a 1A case around. This might be the one! @mluckovich.bsky.social

The message displayed when you visit CDC's link to the Adolescent Health page . You can't just pretend trans people don't exist, you intellectually impotent motherfuckers.

Mic Drop Leiter von mehreren Pflegeeinrichtungen. Aber immerhin: Alice Weidel will auch deutlich bessere Löhne für Pflegekräfte!

Alice Weidel hat unter anderem bei Goldmann Sachs und Credit Suisse gearbeitet, sitzt im deutschen Bundestag und lässt sich von Elon Musk und dem US Vizepräsidenten offen unterstützen. Ihr ganzes bisheriges Leben war Weidel Teil der Elite und keine Kämpferin dagegen.

Das letzte was Weidel sieht bevor sie auseinander genommen wird #klartext

Natürlich weiß Frau Weidel nicht, was wirklich in ihrem Parteiprogramm steht. Das ist ja auch alles nur ein belangloses Feigenblatt, denn alles, was die AfD sagt, schreibt oder verspricht, dient nur dazu, damit sie um jeden Preis an die Macht kommt.

Bei ZDF Klartext hat Alice Weidel einen Zuschauer angegriffen, der auf Widersprüche zwischen ihren Äußerungen und dem Wahlprogramm hinwies. Dabei hatte er Recht, kleiner Faktencheck:

Wir alle haben mit dem Kopf geschüttelt. www.derwesten.de/politik/weid...

Was keine Talkshow und kein Moderator je geschafft hat, schafft das Publikum bei Klartext. Das zeigt den populistischen Schwachsinn von Weidel und Merz auf.🫶

So that air headed asshole fired the people who protect our nuclear arsenal because he was too fucking stupid to read before he acted. He’s now scrambling to bring them back. People voted for a fucking DINGBAT because RACISM makes people stupid.

I’ve considered it and, you know what? I don’t fucking care. They’ve already elevated those exact far right outlets at the Pentagon and pushed out legacy media. Legitimate news outfits can take a stand against this now, or they can meekly enable this fascist shit & *still* get pushed out later.

Why would a little boy say, “Shut the fuck up” if he wanted someone to be quiet? Was there someone in his life who maybe repeatedly said that to him? Also, where would he get the idea that Trump *isn’t* the President? Did someone also say that repeatedly to him?

Tulsi Gabbard confirmed as Director of National Intelligence. My team 1st encountered her while studying conspiracy theories denying chemical weapons attacks and other war crimes in Syria (~2017). She repeatly spread those false claims, echoing Russian disinfo. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Bernie Sanders: "They will use the enormous media operations they own to deflect attention away from the impact of their policies while they entertain us to death."
