Tweet by Jon Favreau criticizing Senate Republicans for confirming a weekend Fox & Friends anchor to oversee the U.S. military despite knowing it was a bad idea, claiming they were threatened by the President’s allies and accepted it as the norm.
Yes. This is what happened, and it’s shameful and cowardly.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem shown here cosplaying as a real police officer.
The head of Homeland Security lost her badge, passport, & $3k in cash. Her reputation for being an ineffective cosplaying figure head remains in tact.
The Women going to the Sepulchre, 1912, Robert Anning Bell Painting of women in blue garments walking leftward, one woman, and then five behind her, on a flat plain, hazy sky ....
Thanks to my friend Harriet for pointing out that the women went to Christ's tomb and saw he was not there, the angels showed up to describe what happened, & the women then told the apostles, who dismissed them. A Biblical account of women not being believed.

I'm just a poor country political historian and not some big city media fella, but it *does* seem like a slightly big deal that the leader of the United States presented comically faked "evidence" in the Oval Office to justify his power to disappear ordinary people into a Central American prison?

All this because they didn’t have a hotel pre-booked when they arrived. Insane.

Our new fellow @pkrugman.bsky.social sat down with @elizabethwwilkins.bsky.social to talk about today's economic landscape:
"It’s funny that our great grandfathers were much more open than we are in saying that one of the purposes of progressive taxation is to actually limit extreme wealth."
In my Substack post this morning: "Does anyone doubt that when inflation rises, [Trump will] dismiss it as “fake news”?"
I only got to be prescient for a few hours ...
We just wanted to keep you all updated estimates are now approaching 4 million. Incredible job pulling this off on a holiday weekend! It was tough to get accurate counts today because small towns showed up in force. Some states had record-breaking turnout we didn’t expect this includes
Today was truly inspiring. Something happened that we’ve never seen before, you made noise in places that rarely see protests like this. Communities across traditionally conservative areas hosted historic turnouts.
It’s not too late to show up, many protests are still getting started, and we’re already over 2 million+. Today has been incredible. Small towns across America doubled or even tripled their turnout compared to 4/5. Way to go! We never expected these small towns to show up with this kind of force!
Very creative, San Francisco! 8647 ✊

Attorneys suing the United States government over the SignalGate group chat allege that new court filings reveal a “calculated strategy” by Trump administration officials to evade transparency laws through the illegal destruction of government records.
I have never been a supporter of Pontius Pilate, but if the apostles continue to disrupt religious services, I will have no choice but to vote for him again.
I did not know this man was so fucking based but damn. Every time he appears he is meeting the moment. Other Democrats, take fucking notes.
We should speak from conscience, not for whatever polls well, and if we speak enough and well enough we shift the conversation, shift what people care about. We have, again and again. Because so many don't participate, we don't need absolute majorities; we can go far with passionate minorities.
The last person to notice the building is on fire doesn't deserve a prize. Especially if he's been excusing arsonists for decades.

This is predictable, but so outrageous and disgusting. Kremlin-owned Trump is preparing to recognize Crimea as "Russian." Not only did Russia illegally annex Crimea, but they set up concentration camps
I am so angry 🤬 Crimea is and will always be Ukrainian, no matter what Trump and his thugs say.
Friendly reminder. In the United States, criminals are entitled to due process. Even if you pay hush money rig an election, steal top secret documents, or incite a mob to overthrow the government; no matter how egregious your crimes, you’re entitled to due process.
