It’s always been weird to me that we don’t really have a WWI monument in DC. There’s a small gazebo on the Mall

If you're a reporter in a White House press briefing as the spokesperson for the government asserts flatly that Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a member of the MS-13 gang who's guilty of human trafficking and you sit there silently without shouting out "PROVE IT!" I'd like to invite you to go fuck yourself.

I've been clear: if President Bukele doesn't want to meet here in D.C., then I intend to go to El Salvador this week to check on Kilmar Abrego Garcia's condition and discuss his release. Kilmar was illegally ABDUCTED and deported by the Trump Admin. He must be brought home NOW.

I will say this - EVERYONE with power seems to be desperately hoping that unpopularity does the work that consequences need to do

The fact that the government is using charges of antisemitism to justify sending people to concentration camps is the most enraging manipulation of discourse that the current fascists have engaged in thus far. They’ll live out their Nazi fantasies all while claiming they are doing it for the Jews.

DOGE abruptly cut a program called Charting My Path for Future Success—a research-based effort that helped teens with disabilities transition from high school into college, work, and independent living. Now it’s gone without explanation.

NPR’s Steven Inskeep: “If I understand this correctly, the US president has launched a trade war against the world, believes he can force the EU and China to meet his terms, is determined to annex Canada and Greenland, but is powerless before the sovereign might of El Salvador. Is that it?”

Love to watch people in my network hired for the same job another network contact just lost due to questionable management practices. Like, “hey! So glad you got that job! Didn’t they just get rid of everyone there?” Is the new hire a “scab” for accepting?

For the past 20 years, an 8-by-9-foot room on the top floor of a disheveled house in Connecticut was a prison cell for a boy last seen by the outside world when he was in the fourth grade. When firefighters found him, he was 32-year-old man who weighed 68 pounds. nyti.ms/4i4zyQH

Capitals star Alex Ovechkin has tied Wayne Gretzky’s NHL career goals record with goal No. 894. Ovechkin scored the 894th goal of his NHL career in the third period Friday against the Chicago Blackhawks to draw even with Gretzky. It was his second goal of the night.

Super fun to be unemployed in DC, because then you start looking at ALL the possible jobs and see one for a senior intelligence officer that lists "Language skills such as Dari, Pashto, German or Italian" among the qualifications. Seems like a big tell, no?

This is already outdated, @aljazeera.com. It says "Italy places no limit on how far back you can trace your ancestry to claim citizenship," but they just announced a huge change to that last week aje.io/z5o426

The time has long passed, but I find it weird and troubling that no one ever questioned the results of the 2024 election. IMHO the Dems shot themselves in the foot on that purity test, even if Kamala didn't have the numbers.

It’s simple. If people you know aren’t freaking out about the state of the world, then you have to wonder what’s in it for them

Good that the Times is tracking his deeds and words like this. www.nytimes.com/interactive/... Next level would be to organize all the known steps in democracy's replacement by authoritarian governance, and report it as news when he reaches them, so that we know where we are— and what remains.

He's openly admitting they're going to use the military to do illegal things and fired all the lawyers so no one will stop them. They will use the military on US civilians and they will give the order to shoot. The question is whether the rank and file listen.
