NEW: In a news release published Monday, the City of Hyattsville Police Department said: “At no time did any member of the HPD identify or file any reports classifying Abrego Garcia as a member of any gang,” HPD’s statement read. This contradicts DHS' claim. www.dcnewsnow.com/news/local-n...

I desperately needed to laugh snort today. Trump imposed a 10% tariff on the Heard & McDonald Islands. The Heard and McDonald Islands are uninhabited. Waiting to see if he adds the Iron Islands, Westeros, Gondor, Coruscant, Wakanda and Narnia. *shrug

Trump just imposed, by executive order, the single largest tax increase on consumers in American history.

Money can’t buy Wisconsin. We are all cheeseheads tonight, and as a Steelers fan, that’s saying something. Amen.

ATTENTION If you are someone (or know someone) who is enrolled in an NIH-funded clinical trial that has been disrupted by grant uncertainties or terminations, please DM me. THANK YOU!

When I looked out across the room, I saw several women wiping their eyes. They were silently crying while listening to me speak. Now, I can hype up a crowd, but I have never induced such raw emotion in my life. I don’t think it had much to do with me… open.substack.com/pub/jesspipe...

NEW: I heard from a *bunch* of federal employees tonight with more backbone that Chuck Schumer. Spread the word! "Shutdowns suck, but what we’re experiencing is something much much worse and now is the moment to stand against it or you’re abdicating your duty as an elected official.”

6,000 veterans serving in positions with the federal government have been fired and that number will increase exponentially. Yet, 61% of veterans voted for this.

Autocracies usually go out of their way to take care of veterans, service members, police officers, and even most civil servants … because if you fuck those people over, they’re the ones who do coups.
