Rufo called me a groomer and sent his audience after my family because I said I was fine with my daughter going to therapy. CPS got called. It took months to get rid of them. My former colleagues thought it was hilarious and did nothing.

To explain: Judge Ho has said, "I'm canceling the trial for now, eliminating one thing DOJ was complaining about, and instead I've asked a super conservative judge who can argue this to SCOTUS successfully to argue against the govt for me." Brilliant move.

It’s journalistic malpractice — to the extent that’s a thing any more — to talk about this Ed Martin letter without clarifying that every expert, other than administration hacks, thinks that Garcia’s statement was not remotely plausibly a true threat. It’s simply ludicrous.

They destroyed a Black college president's career because she didn't properly format a footnote last century but they won't even Google a Black Republican.

it’s comforting to imagine that nothing could’ve been done to prevent our current disaster, or at least that nobody could’ve known. but the truth is, since jan 7th, 2021, many people have been loudly yelling that we could end up right where we are now if the people in power didn’t change course

NEW: Get ready for delayed tax refunds, long hold times + dropped calls with the IRS, thanks to Trump illegally firing more than 6,000 employees there today. *Except if you're a wealthy tax evader. You will now "feast" as the IRS strains to function. www.huffpost.com/entry/irs-ma...

The US is seeing multiple current measles outbreaks, one of which is one of the worst in years, and Health Secretary RFK Jr.’s personal organization, which he told the US Senate he would not seek to divest from, is telling people “measles has health benefits.”

Once again: Europe, welcome as many scientists as possible. Like, now. Invite them, grant them visas and scholarships, offer them jobs 🙏♥️

Note, I'm not convinced it was the racist posts that caused the "resignation." I hold out the possibility this was a way to either work around the TROs or to get data from Treasury to elsewhere.

the astronaut/r-word thing has me wondering how fast a normal person would be fired, separated from their spouse, and put in jail for behaving like Musk on an average day. I genuinely think you could not get further than 30 minutes

Remember folks, if you've chosen in your reporting to identify the unconfirmed gender of the pilot flying at the time of an accident you have to do it for every incident and accident going forward. That's the rules. That's equality.

The US is flying 200 people from Asia—50 of them children—to #CostaRica, which will bus them "from the capital San Jose to a migrant facility some 223 miles away, near the border with Panama." They won't be able to leave. They'll be warehoused there, pending repatriation, for "4, 5, 6 weeks."
