MUST-WATCH: This is the arrest of Mahmoud Khalil from the perspective of his wife, who is 8 months pregnant. This is federal agents in plain clothes dragging a man from his home as punishment for his speech. @nyclu.org @ccrjustice.org @theimeu.bsky.social

@schumer.senate.gov Your argument that a shutdown would be worse makes no sense. If that's what the White House wants, absolute power during a shutdown, why aren't Republicans voting to shut it down?

The United States is experiencing a hostile takeover by criminals. If you’re in the media and you’re not depicting it as an extinction-level event for our democracy, you’re failing at your job.

I know this is going to sound naive or earnest, but I genuinely find myself shocked by how little people seem to be upset by the levels of corruption we're seeing. Is that the median voter assumes everyone is corrupt already? Or isn't actually getting stories about the corruption?

This is exactly what they're trying to achieve by destroying government services that benefit the public. A VC-backed startup intervenes to gather data that the National Weather Service was previously collecting, and before we know it, we will be paying them for what was once funded by our taxes.

@sammyroth.bsky.social Thanks for your work on electricity rates. Matt Stoller has an interesting Substack piece on how privately owned utilities are using regulatory tricks to gain rate increases. I hope you'll look at this: www.thebignewsletter.com/p/power-move...

The story of this first week is corruption. Billionaires seated on the inaugural stage in front of the cabinet, crypto pump and dump, and the illegal firing of IGs. The media is acting like this is too chaotic and bewildering to interpret, but they are just afraid of sounding shrill. It’s corrupt.
