Trump's incredible shrinking tent Trump is methodically torching the eclectic coalition that made him president.

Donald Trump is torching the coalition that made him president, seemingly unaware of — or simply unconcerned by — the depth of discontent permeating his movement.

I'm no expert on Eastern Europe, but what I had understood from close observers of politics there not so long ago was that democracy in Hungary seemed far less salvageable than in Poland.

Yet now the democratic opposition in Hungary apparently has won an electoral victory ...

It's been a month since NYU Langone ended care.

Letitia James deadline came and went, NYU still has not restarted care.

Mamdani refuses to answer questions from trans journos over the real steps he can take, like directing H+H to absorb patients or enforcing human rights law.

Important thread.

What's scary about this story is the surveillance it hints at. This trans woman had changed her name, legally, but chose not to change her gender marker. She was apparently flagged in the DMV system as trans and her license was invalidated under a law that supposedly only concerned gender markers.

Or perhaps someone else can buy this paper from Bezos—since he seems to view it as an albatross—and donate it to a foundation established to run it as a nonprofit. Bezos gets a capital loss, the buyer/donor is a hero, the rest of us get a world class newspaper. The Knight Institute is ready to help.

"About 500 seniors live at Sinai Residences in Boca Raton, Florida, including many Holocaust survivors.

Recently, some of them asked if they could hide the building’s Haitian staff in their apartments..."

Judge blocks Trump administration from ending protections for Haitians A federal judge has blocked the Trump administration from ending temporary protections that have allowed roughly 350,000 Haitians to live and work in the United States.

Judge Ana Reyes in D.C. has temporarily blocked the Feb. 3 termination of TPS for Haitians. Without TPS, many Haitian immigrants in the U.S. could face deportation back to Haiti.

The victim was UNARMED when he was shot multiple times. 

This is a state execution. Again. https://t.co/bJKnijPq3H

But here's the thing. The most highly retweeted tweets from this period… ON X... EVEN AFTER DHS WAS TRYING TO SHIFT THE NARRATIVE… contained frames that were sympathetic to the victim, and blaming ICE for the “murder” or "execution" of the victim. In other words, the RW spin machine wasn’t working.

It appears that some members of the Democratic Party are supporting KOSA.

The act purports to be about protecting children, but it could weaponize Trump's FTC to target LGBTQ+ content on the internet.
