Congrats on “opening” a strait that was open six weeks ago, and all it cost was at least 13 dead service members, thousands of dead Iranian civilians, tens of billions in taxpayer dollars, our loss in global standing, and the Iranian regime’s increase in power. Phenomenal work.

It's so funny to me that Trump pushed the GOP to extend FISA after bitching for years that it was used to "spy" on his campaign. Surveillance on thee but not on me! www.nytimes.com/2026/04/17/u...

I am disgusted with the one Democrat who voted for Trump's war. But, I am also disgusted with every Republican who voted for it. They are ALL traitors to this country.
Back on Feb 18, I interviewed Jocelyn Benson, who told me Dem Secretaries of State were running table-top exercises for these types of scenarios. You can listen here: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...
Congratulations Tom Steyer for receiving the most highly coveted endorsement a California Democrat could hope for.
On January 10, 2022, the Knicks played the San Antonio Spurs at the Garden. It was Pride night. Richards was there, attending with a friend. An 18-page report prepared by Eversole's Threat Management Group and reviewed by WIRED shows just how closely she was being monitored. 07:10:20 // CAM 0241 // scans her ticket to section 102, Row 8, Seat 5 07:11:14 // CAM 1434 // goes up terrace escalators on level 3 to level 6 concourse 07:12:52 // CAM AC10 // hugs usher Appendix A of the report has a screenshot of the embrace, with Richards circled in red. 08:08:58 // CAM 1093 // talking with F&B worker at the Draft Kings Bar 08:10:49 // CAM 0512 // pays for the drinks 08:31:19 // CAM 0485 // eating at a table It goes on and on. At 8:48 pm, camera 0489 spots another quick hug with an MSG “membership experience executive” (there's a grainy photo in the report's Appendix N). Two minutes and two seconds later, the same camera captures her heading into the women's bathroom. Her exit is noted after precisely two minutes and five seconds.
The owner of MSG and the Knicks compiled this kind of second-by-second surveillance of a trans woman while they were in the arena. They're doing this at all venues owned by James Dolan of perceived enemies. Crazy, crazy shit.

For any DC folks interested, I'm going to be speaking at St. John's Church on Lafayette Square this Sunday. My goal, if I can manage it, will be to give an overview of what's happened in the last year with immigration, putting it in historical context, and arguing why it should matter to all of us.
Just because Caitlyn Jenner is an objectively horrible person doesn’t mean it’s okay to deadname her. Please don’t.
Jan Crawford @JanCBS X.com BREAKING: Justice Samuel Alito NOT retiring. Sources close to Justice Alito confirm the Fox News report that he has decided not to step down this year. In addition, sources close to Justice Thomas tell me he's not retiring. That indicates that this year, with the midterms on the horizon, Trump will not be making his 4th nomination to SCOTUS.
Huh.
Barely more than a decade ago, Florida proudly and with a bipartisan vote passed in-state tuition for undocumented immigrants who had been brought here as children and grew up in Florida. DeSantis’ Lieutenant Governor was actually a champion of the bill.
Things changed fast.

The Strait of Hormuz, ALREADY OPEN before we began bombing Iran, is open again. Yay!
There's talk of an anti-nuclear agreement for the price of unfreezing $20B in frozen funds. Double yay!
All in all, we'll have spent and/or transferred $52B to replicate the Obama deal, which he tore up. Triple yay!
Rep Sanchez: You're spending taxpayer dollars to drink milk shirtless in a hot tub with Kid Rock and, somehow, you think that's a better public health message than informing the public about the importance of vaccines. #sheshed

I got the simple subscription for her, but they can’t figure it out. Now I have to travel to another state, show her how to sign in, and how to access the app. Just so she can watch what she always been able to.

Chuck Schumer's two votes tonight in favor of bombs and bulldozers to Israel is yet another reason Senate Democrats must vote to remove him as leader post the midterms.
As a result of our lawsuit, guards at "Alligator Alcatraz" are required to allow people detained at the facility to call their lawyers, in accordance with the Constitution.
Yet when our clients asserted their right to access phones, guards brutally beat them. ICE must be held accountable.
