As chair of the foreign affairs committee, he fought to protect human rights around the world.

He was a true public servant, wonderful colleague, and great friend who will be missed.

I got to know Eliot Engel when we both served in Congress. He represented the Bronx and Westchester with pride, making material differences in people's lives by expanding health care access and fighting for gun safety.

Trump admin accused of lying about Iran threats to avoid looking ‘weak’ While the Defense Department (DoD) claimed on Saturday that two U.S. Navy destroyers had successfully “transited the Strait of Hormuz” without incident, multiple reports suggested that the two ships were “forced to turn back” after receiving threats from Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRG...

Trump lied so he wouldn't look like the scared, weak AF man he is.

Carney: "The days of our military sending 70 cents of every dollar to the United States are over."

*thunderous applause*

The Washington Post is beyond repair. We need to build independent pro-democracy media that doesn't equate Donald Trump's pathological lies with Joe Biden.

You can start with subscribing to Democracy Docket. I built it to have only one side -- the truth. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

Soon to be appearing in midterm political ads for Democratic candidates nationwide. Thanks, Darnold. 🙏

If your country exports bombs, don’t complain about importing refugees.

A rocky landscape of cliffs, towers and gullies opens is seen through the Mesa Arch in Canyonlands National Park in Utah. The sky has a dull, smoky tint, due to the wildfires in distant California. Despite the ground being dry and almost fully devoid of vegetation, the landscape appears very colorful, with different shades of brown, orange and yellow, and distant bushes in light green. The view recedes into the distance for several miles.

Artemis II launch caught from an airline flight. Incredible video.

Trump fired Bondi for not weaponizing DOJ aggressively enough against his enemies. Let that sink in. She wasn't too corrupt. She wasn't corrupt enough. That's where we are.

Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD): “Today President Trump has sacked Attorney General Pam Bondi, ending a tenure that will be remembered as a profound betrayal not only of the Department of Justice but of the American people the Department exists to serve."

"For the record, the DOW was under 50,000"

No matter how low, it’s never low enough.

The Apprentice. 😂

Democratic House Rep. Robert Garcia:

"Oversight Democrats have been leading serious investigations into (Pam) Bondi and Secretary Kristi Noem. If they think we are moving on because they were fired, they are gravely mistaken."

I'm disclosing a list containing the details of 6,681 organizations that applied for contracts with the US Department of Homeland Security. This data was taken from the Office of Industry Partnership at https://oip.dhs.gov. Why hack the DHS? I can think of a couple Pretti Good reasons! I'm releasing this because the DHS is killing us and people deserve to know which companies support them and what they're working on.

Trump Is Quietly Trying to Free Man Who Lied About Hunter Biden Alexander Smirnov gave the FBI information he later admitted was false.

Trump Is Quietly Trying to Free Man Who Lied About Hunter Biden

Alexander Smirnov gave the FBI information he later admitted was false.

This is classic abuser speak. This is quintessential sadistic personality disorder speak. This is archetypal rapist speak.

The Senate voted 51-48 to open debate on “SAVE America Act”, with Republican Senator Lisa Murkowski of Alaska crossing the aisle to vote with Democrats in opposition. Senator Thom Tillis did not cast a vote. Floor debate is expected to stretch on for days.

Tennessee teens sue Elon Musk's xAI over child sexual abuse images It’s the latest legal challenge against the Grok chatbot’s mass creation of nonconsensual sexual imagery of women and girls.

Tennessee teenagers are suing Elon Musk’s company xAI over allegations that its artificial intelligence tool Grok undressed photos of them as minors—the latest challenge against the wealthiest living person’s chatbot.

"Do not obey in advance" is such an important message. I would like to add, "Don't ever f*cking obey."

Super PACs eclipse candidate spending as Pa. Senate race tightens up Super PAC money dwarfed the candidates’ own spending. Millions from GOP megadonors have helped McCormick offset a smaller fundraising haul.

You’re confused Senator. McCormack was supported by the Oligarchs. They are using this blatant voter suppression to expand and perpetuate their power.

Bonus 215: How I Write the Newsletter I've received a number of questions from readers about the process involved in how I write—and decide what to write about in—the newsletter. This week's bonus issue attempts a peek behind the curtain.

This may not be that interesting given everything going on in the world, but this week's bonus issue of "One First" takes an internal look at the mechanics of writing the newsletter—including when and how I pick topics and when and how it gets put together.

(TL;DR: It's triage, all the way down.):

📢 Kinney Drugs now accepts Team Cuban Card!

The very definition of the lack of free speech. Jimmy Kimmel at the Oscars: "As you know, there are some countries whose leaders don't support free speech. I'm not at liberty to say which. Let's just leave it at North Korea and CBS."

Jared Kushner Solicits Funds for His Firm While Working as Mideast Envoy

In their wildest fantasies about Hunter Biden, Republicans didn't come up with anything half as corrupt as what Kushner is doing in front of our eyes every day. He's handling US foreign policy at the exact same time that he's taking billions from the Saudi dictator.
