congratulations to john roberts who is as responsible for the current state of affairs as any single person in the country

They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.

This is so scary. MMRCs in multiple states are being disbanded as government officials try to bury any data that would demonstrate the very real toll of anti-abortion policies on pregnant people’s health.

The problem with Dems chasing public opinion is that THE PUBLIC'S VIEW OF THINGS IS JUST MOVING IN RESPONSE TO WHAT POLITICAL FIGURES SAY AND IT'S VERY OBVIOUS IN THE DATA MY GOD

I've been thinking a lot about that bumper sticker which says "everything looks like a conspiracy theory when you don't understand how anything works" and folks it's pretty obvious to me that the people in power right now have absolutely no desire to understand how anything works.

Zelenskyy stayed in Kyiv while Russia was bombing the city and sending in hit squads to kill him. J.D. Vance fled to an undisclosed location because some peaceful protesters yelled at him while he was on vacation. This is why I believe victory over these people is still possible.

Trump: I’m going to kill your loved ones. Democrats: [wave placard] Trump: Especially the black ones. And the gay ones Democrats: [strenuously wave placards]

The CFPB has returned over $21 billion directly to Americans scammed by Wall Street. If you have been personally helped by the CFPB - if you've filed a complaint, got money returned to you, or benefitted from their work, I need to hear from you. www.warren.senate.gov/share-your-c...

NO KINGS, ONLY TRAINS is a pretty great 2028 slogan for anyone who wants it

He is acting like a tyrant.

They screwed this all up.

someone put their pronouns in their email signature in 2017 and now the world's most irksome Boer has my social security number

This is it. This is the take.

This is as good a summary as any of Trump's approach to government: it's awful and I don't know anything about it

I don't know how you read this as a parent without feeling overcome with sorrow and rage. These evil people have made trans children their political punching bag and it's killing them.

re-reading this tweet every few years with a new perspective on who "we" refers to

Purging dissent in the security services and giving loyalists power is something we *instantly* recognize in other contexts.
