Reports and video show flash-bangs thrown into piles of debris just before a car caught fire, strongly suggesting it was law enforcement, not protesters, who sparked it. More details are coming. Don’t let them control the narrative. Thank you to everyone sharing footage, always record everything.

I think a big part of the disconnect here involves the fact that major sources of business news -- cables, legacy publications, etc -- have mostly refused to engage with criticisms from the industry's harshest skeptics. You have to be a real nerd to go seek out the criticisms of the industry!

While we’re distracted with Tariffs and disinformation, In case you’ve missed them, Eric and Jr are traveling the world making crypto deals on their dads meme coin. “They are also claiming that Trump and his family are “profiting” off the presidency.” #DemVoice1 www.rawstory.com/crypto-26719...

We need leaders who act like the opposition party. And Doug Jones nails it—something we have been saying too: the Democratic Party can’t just rest on hatred for Trump. They need to give people something to vote for. Democrats need to “offer a better vision for America.” — @dougjones.bsky.social

Listen to Andrew Zimmern & @chefjoseandres.bsky.social. It’s more important than ever that we give dignity to the people who are keeping America and the world fed…building longer tables instead of demonizing others.

It’s interesting that secret service told reporters the guy who stole Noem’s purse what a white male, then they wait a week and DHS says it was an undocumented migrant but refuses to give any other details.

I don't care how many junior staffs Hegseth or others throw under the bus. Hegseth HIMSELF was on the Signal group chat. He used his fingers to enter the sensitive military info into the chat. He bears 100% full responsibility for that -- no matter how many scapegoats he finds.

FIVE. MORE. LAW. FIRMS. CAVE. AND. CUT. DEALS. WITH. TRUMP. "$600 Million Dollars in pro bono services." Of all the people you'd think would have the resources to fight back and say "F*CK NO!" and handle the consequences...you'd think it would be those at the high-power law firms.

To win a war they cannot avoid, Chief Justice Roberts and his allies must rediscover their belief in a simple notion: The American president is not above the law.

They're terrorizing our federal employees in real ways and the impact is devastating for all of us. I spoke to a VA employee and FBI Agent about what they're experiencing and it will shock you. This is the most important thing I've written. Please read and share. open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

Imagine if The Atlantic’s editor chose blackmail over journalistic integrity. There’s a lot of blackmail potential here. Isn’t that exactly why security clearances get denied?

According to a source I have at the CIA, Director Radcliffe lied today under oath. Signal is absolutely not loaded on agency computers. As a matter of fact it’s specifically prohibited as an outside app. Skype is allowed for conference calls but not Signal. He’s lying. @markwarner.bsky.social

Honored to join veterans in calling for accountability and investigations into Secretary Hegseth’s FUBAR situation where he texted secret war plans on Signal to a journalist. We all wore the uniform. If we had texted secret war plans to a journalist, we likely would have been court-martialed.

I’m a democrat but I will NOT tolerate weak leadership. I will not stand and watch our democracy being destroyed Are you with me? Are you a reformer? I ask that we demand that @schumer.senate.gov step down and let the next generation of leaders take over.

The Pentagon just erased history. 🤬 Holocaust, 9/11, cancer awareness, sexual assault, suicide prevention—gone. This isn’t a mistake, it’s a deliberate attack on truth. They want ignorance through whitewashing. Thank Drunk Hegseth for this vile act. tinyurl.com/PentaPurge

I think you are seeing cracks in the Senate for Schumer. Slotkin saying Democrats need to have a strategy. Klobuchar gathering 28 signatures from Democrats to oppose Trump‘s firing Democratic FTC commissioners, while Schumer’s out appearing on the View on MSNBC. Read the tea leaves!
