ONE IF BY LAND TWO IF BY D.C. the north end church in boston it’s 250 years today @northendpage.bsky.social

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

Trump has turned the George Mason University libertarians into revolutionaries

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe...

🚨A U.S. born citizen was arrested in Florida for entering the state as an “unauthorized alien.” His mother and a community advocate showed his birth certificate during a hearing in Leon County. The judge said she had no authority to release him.

ANALYSIS | For years, people have been theorising about the 'dead internet', the idea that the web is really inhabited by automated systems rather than people. Now it looks to be happening, writes Andrew Griffin

Abrego Garcia's wife: "I will not stop fighting until I see my husband alive. Kilmar, if you can hear me, stay strong. God hasn't forgotten about you. Our children are asking when you will come home ... they miss their dad so much."

BREAKING 🚨 🚨 🚨 Pentagon’s ‘SWAT team of nerds’ resigns en masse Employees of a defense tech unit say they were sidelined by DOGE. “Either we die quickly or we die slowly,” says the director. www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

EXCLUSIVE: A whistleblower tells Congress and NPR that DOGE may have taken sensitive labor data and hid its tracks. "None of that ... information should ever leave the agency," said a former NLRB official.

Booker: "This isn't just about Mr. Garcia. This is about every American understanding that this president is making an assault on the due process rights that are afforded to people in our country ... you cannot disappear people off American streets."

Pretty much

Good morning. Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors. It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.

Former Skadden associate: The Administration cannot pick and choose who gets representation. It cannot use executive power to scare lawyers out of advocacy. “I will not allow my fear to manifest as silence. I choose courage.”

Trump administration officials have told some U.S. government employees that Elon Musk's DOGE team of technologists is using artificial intelligence to surveil at least one federal agency’s communications for hostility to Trump and his agenda, said two people with knowledge of the matter.

Deeply concerning: US citizen lawyer getting detained and his phone searched on reentering the U.S. at Customs. www.freep.com/story/news/l...

Feel like this story didn't enough attention -- US attorney Ed Martin was just at a fundraiser with Oath Keepers who were convicted of seditious conspiracy and did NOT receive pardons. They're currently appealing their convictions with Ed's office!

Fired Justice Department employee reveals that Trump officials tried to send armed officers to her home to intimidate her and her family: “I will not be bullied into concealing the ongoing corruption and abuse of power.”

America voting for Trump… AGAINo mm

After getting some rest, I am in awe of everyone who continues to lift their voice and speak out. This is a moment for our country, and we must make a choice about the America we want to be.

It's really notable how this presentation was fairly coherent throughout. This wasn't Green Eggs and Ham. That was the product of an intense staff effort we describe for the first time in this story: talkingpointsmemo.com/news/cory-bo...

Booker, just minutes away from the speaking record: "This is when the most precious ideas of our country are being tested, where the Constitution and the question is being called -- Where does the constitution live? On paper? Or in our hearts? This is the moment."

Yes. This is great just as a tremendous moral statement AND it's also GREAT POLITICS. You break a segregationist's record and you make people think about who this generation's segregationists are. This is STORY and DRAMA and it can make people PAY ATTENTION.

An FDA worker confirms what I've seen out there. CDC's entire FOIA office is gone. The FDA's communications and web office were cut. "The FDA as we know it is gone."

Letter: Utah’s congressional delegation rubber-stamped these inexperienced and ignorant nominees, and now we are hearing not a peep from them about this national security nightmare.

Here is my best guidance for action, rendered beautifully by the great John Lithgow. I first published these lessons more than eight years ago, in late 2016. They open the twenty chapters of "On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century." snyder.substack.com/p/twenty-les...

French President Emmanuel Macron hosts state leaders in Paris for the 'Coalition Of The Willing' summit in support of #Ukraine. 🇺🇦 @gettyimages.com www.gettyimages.com/editorial-im...

NEW: @motherjones.com reports that one of the men renditioned to El Salvador is Neri Alvarado, who was working in Dallas as a baker. An ICE agent told him they were questioning all men with tattoos. Neri has an AUTISM AWARENESS TATTOO in honor of his 15-year-old brother with autism.

Since they are all criminals, I presume the answer is “to do crimes.”

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

Don’t let them spin this Signal debacle as if it’s no big deal. It’s an epic national security failure and a massive story.

A Pentagon-wide advisory that went out one week ago warns against using the Signal, the messaging app, even for unclassified information.

From an operational security perspective, this is the highest level of fuckup imaginable. These people cannot keep America safe.
