WaPo is being called the Lex Luthor gazette, and that's accurate.

Dear GI How are you? Nice story about JE in NY mag. You look great on the picture. I know you are very busy flying all over the world. How was Palm Beach? I cannot wait to go down. Give me a call when you are back in NY. Have a great time! Love, Melania
Melania: “I never had a relationship with Ghislaine Maxwell.”
"Tense, subtle music playing" is my new favorite TV caption
I lack the vocabulary to express just how much I loathe Bondi. It's my most fervent hope that the trauma she chose to inflict on the survivors of unspeakable crimes is returned to her ten fold. In a just world she would never know a moment's peace for the rest of her worthless life.
Federal immigration agents were seemingly forced to retreat from a roofing job site in Rochester, NY, after being confronted by more than 100 protesters
The workers stayed on the roof and agents drove away in a Border Patrol SUV on four flat tires, which had been slashed
Pritzker: To the members of the press who are assembled here today and listening across the country, I am asking for your courage to tell it like it is. This is not a time to pretend here that there are two sides to this story.
If you want to put back statues and memorials and names of Confederate traitors while tearing down museum exhibitions on slavery because they don't show the greatness of the nation... the nation whose history you're celebrating is whiteness. The kind of nationalist you are is a white nationalist.
Today I learned that tow truck drivers have been following masked kristapo cosplayers and towing their vehicles while they're kidnapping people. I wish this would happen everywhere.
BBC International Editor Jeremy Bowen has confirmed that the entire Al Jazeera team in Gaza City has been killed.
"One of the reasons the epidemic of violence against women is so unacknowledged is because cases like these are talked about individually, and often treated as though they are shocking aberrations rather than part of a pervasive pattern that operates at all levels of society."
I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.
NGL I'm looking forward to hearing all of the "but we didn't know" whines next April 15th when magas see how much their tax bill has increased. Same with their laments that their parents were kicked off Medicaid. Choosing to be uninformed carries a big price, one they'll finally be forced to pay.
The GOP just passed a bill most of them vehemently disagree with — and that they know is going to harm their constituents — because they’re afraid of Trump.
Pretty pathetic stuff.
just saw a group of masked men stuffing masked ICE agents into an unmarked car, who were saying "we're ICE we're ICE!" but the abductors shouted to the crowd "no we're ICE!" no one knew who was ICE, so no one in the crowd said anything.
Stand strong, LA!
I've never been more glad to be a former member of the military. I joined the national guard after leaving active duty. Being mobilized to carry out the illegal orders of a yt nationalist regime crosses the line for me. I'd resign my commission before I'd go against civilians exercising their 1A
The administration gets closer to using the military to crush civilian dissent. Expect deaths, disappearances, and lawless detentions.
SEIU California President David Huerta Injured, Detained at ICE Raid in Los Angeles Los Angeles - David Huerta, President of SEIU California and SEIU- United Service Workers West was injured and detained at an ICE raid in Los Angeles today while exercising his First Amendment right to observe and document law enforcement activity. Tia Orr, Executive Director of SEIU California, made the following statement: "SEIU California members call for the immediate release of our President, David Huerta, who was injured and detained at the site of one of today's ICE raids in Los Angeles. He is now receiving medical attention while in custody. "We are proud of President Huerta's righteous participation as a community observer, in keeping with his long history of advocating for immigrant workers and with the highest values of our movement: standing up to injustice, regardless of personal risk or the power of those perpetrating it. "We call for an end to the cruel, destructive, and indiscriminate ICE raids that are tearing apart our communities, disrupting our economy, and hurting all working people. Immigrant workers are essential to our society: feeding our nation, caring for our elders, cleaning our workplaces, and building our homes."
BREAKING
The President of California’s largest union has been detained during an ICE raid.
I was reminded that today's the day Billy Joe McAllister jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge.
I grew up listening to that song. Bobbie Gentry's voice is amazing, but her songwriting is incomparable. That song is poetry set to music.
The best part of my birthday was finally being eligible for the RSV shot. I'm glad I'm now protected against it
When the HHS Secretary is telling the American public that trusting expert scientists is not a function of democracy, it’s well and truly over for science in the USA.
I can’t stress this enough. If scientific expertise is believed to be an enemy to democracy, we are finished. Complete catastrophe.
I've used Hulu for 6 years and it hasn't learned anything about me. Today it offered to show me the NFL draft and the Barrett Jackson auction. I had to look that one up because I had no idea what it was. Anyway I've never watched American sportsball and I'm not going to start now. Do better Hulu
Rogaine said that being able to say the R word now is a "cultural victory."
Dude, you've always been able to say it. That's not new. Neither is people knowing you're a douchebag.
Victory? Really? I had no idea just how low your standards are.
I saw Hegseth referred to as Plastered Pete Kegstand and dang if that isn't accurate
One thing I deeply appreciated about the Biden administration: I didn't have to protest a single time. I had to join multiple protests during the felon's first disaster, and barely 2 months into his 2nd, worse disaster, I'm already on my 3rd protest. I just want to stay home & not worry 24/7
