BREAKING: Maryland is about to become the first state in the nation to ban the use of surveillance data and dynamic pricing at grocery stores.
The Maryland House has just passed the Protection from Predatory Pricing Act.
Governor Wes Moore plans to sign the bill.
Science is good. We should fund it.
No. words.
Morally, legally, economically the war on Iran is disastrous and the disaster goes on for years no matter what happens now. But what cannot be overstated is that in pure national security terms it is also an unmitigated catastrophe.
Thank you so much for covering it for us! 🙏
So was the idea to let Trump have all the glory? Did Johnson specifically punt to set Trump up as the TSA savior? Or does this all go back to ICE funding?
Fascinating to replay this clip several times focusing exclusively on Rubio as Trump talks. Rubio rhetorically tries to paint a narrative of the nobility of US actions. Trump goes in and sabotages it. Rubio: head down; fingers digging at one point into the table.

OMG: "the paper oil market"
FT Exclusive: Traders made bets worth half a billion dollars in the oil market about 15 minutes before Donald Trump’s post touting 'productive' talks with Iran sent the price of crude tumbling ft.trib.al/SVLeLoM
The is the federal government telling news stations to provide favorable coverage of the war or their licenses will be pulled.
A truly extraordinary moment.
We aren't on the verge of a totalitarian takeover. WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT.
Act like it.
Many Washington Post readers have been notified via email that their subscription rates are set to increase. Nestled at the bottom of these emails, you’ll find an asterisk and the following: “This price was set by an algorithm using your personal data.”

Invalidating driver's licenses and enacting a bounty-style bathroom ban are the latest escalation in politicians' radical anti-trans crusade.
Kansas, we'll see you in court.
I do not think he was "joking" about giving himself the medal of honor. It appears he was rebuffed by advisors when he broached the subject with them.
This is brilliant.
Dean W. Ball Y @deanwball X.com Think about the power Hegseth is asserting here. He is claiming that the DoD can force all contractors to stop doing business of any kind with arbitrary other companies. In other words, every operating system vendor, every manufacturer of hardware, every hyperscaler, every type of firm the DoD contracts with—all their services and products can be denied to any economic actor at will by the Secretary of War. This is obviously a psychotic power grab. It is almost surely illegal, but the message it sends is that the United States Government is a completely unreliable partner for any kind of business. The damage done to our business environment is profound. No amount of deregulatory vibes sent by this administration matters compared to this arson.

BREAKING: We're suing Kansas for a law that invalidates transgender people's updated driver's licenses and authorizes anyone to sue anyone they suspect of being trans for using the "wrong" bathroom.
Was waiting for this! I knew the ACLU would step up, as it always does. Thank you, thank you!
She was in many ways rhetorically tepid and milquetoast while running for governor. I guess on the advice of consultants? But this speech really showcases her talent. Love her!
The clips I'm seeing from @atrupar.com are taking me back to archival work during my PhD when I read/listened to/watched speeches of dictators

Anna, will you and the Lawfare team be breaking this down for us, helping us understand why the judge would have signed off and what happens next? Thank you so much, as always, for the incredible work you do!
Love this.
If you wear makeup (I don't), perhaps it's time to boycott Estée Lauder products.
If you're living somewhere outside the USA, one thing you can do is pressure your leaders to boycott World Cup and Olympic events here.
If you can, I think you should watch. I believe it’s our collective civic duty to bear witness. Brave bystanders whose own lives are at risk are documenting these atrocities for our eyes and the eyes of posterity.
An FBI agent conducted an initial review of the Renee Good killing and determined sufficient grounds existed to open a civil rights probe into the actions of the ICE officer who shot her. Justice Department says no inquiry is warranted. @perrystein.bsky.social www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...
Thanks! I value the perspective of someone who works in the field of nutrition. Especially since HHS and FDA are no longer reliable, trustworthy sources of information.
