The FBI is now moving to criminalize groups like Habitat for Humanity for “conspiracy to defraud the United States.” This comes after EPA Director Lee Zeldin eliminated the EPA headquarters in D.C. and 10 other regional offices.

Donald Trump is the absolute worst of us. It’s one thing for Trump to say Schumer isn’t pro-Israel enough. That’s fair. It’s another thing completely for Trump to say Schumer isn’t Jewish. That’s a lie. An ugly, antisemitic lie.

Mizelle was disgraceful. Essentially gaslighting the court. Judge Howell was trying not to openly laugh at some of the assertions he was making. She skillfully and effortlessly carved Mizelle up like a Thanksgiving turkey. I think I’d like to start a Beryl Howell fan club.

Can’t stop thinking about all the people who’ve lost their jobs. Losing your job in this country, it’s like annihilation—not least because it usually means losing health care, too. And for so many people, their entire sector has been eviscerated. I wouldn’t be able to feed my kids. It’s terrifying.

“Here is the unavoidable truth: the Washington Post I joined, the one I came to love, is not the Washington Post I left.” @ruthmarcus.bsky.social writes about her decision to resign from the paper in the wake of editorial changes made by its owner, Jeff Bezos.

“Bezos said, … ‘You’ve probably grown in the last eight years. He has, too.’ Trump, he continued, ‘is calmer than he was the first time and more confident, more settled.’ This wasn’t the triumph of hope over experience; it was the elevation of willful self-delusion over all available evidence.”

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave. Tell them: 1. Vote NO on Cloture AND 2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill. Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it. TODAY is the showdown. 🤳🏽: (202) 224-3121

VERY IMPORTANT: This is just a trick. It's a way for Democratic senator to say they oppose the bill while letting it pass. It's not much of a trick. I mean, everyone will see it. But still this is simply a way of hoodwinking constituents. If they want to vote for it just vote for it.

1. The DOGE website is garbage. The claimed savings has no relationship to the data provided. And the data that is provided grossly inflates the savings from each canceled contract. So we just launched our own site — the Musk Watch DOGE Tracker — that breaks everything down.

No one should be critical of Sullivan & Cromwell for helping Elon. Remember, it’s essential for the rule of law in America that chainsaw-waving, ketamine-utilizing, Roman-saluting billionaires be entitled to deal counsel of their choice, no matter what harm they inflict on their adopted country.
